THE THANG: Jacob’s Ladder – 9 through 1 – alternating KB snatches OH on one end of ladder, 4-count mountain climbers on other end of ladder; mode of transportation = pass-through forward lunges with KB “up the ladder” and pass-through backward lunges with KB down the ladder.

Birdcage was supposed to be on Q, but recently fell from a ladder taking down Christmas lights, hence the title of the workout. Apparently he’s doing alright, but sending prayers his way nonetheless.

Thanks to Beaker for calling my number on short notice.

Pre-Convergence Convergence

Leave a comment

There were Ruckers and runners.

Barry Manilow led the runners for 5+ miles around The Fort.

The bootcampers were led first by Maximus with a SSH x Merkin combo x2 to warm up.
After a quick warm up, the weinke was
10 merkins, 10 mountain climbers (double count) at each of the 9 swings around the park. When done and waiting on the 6 to fill in, hold an Al Gore. To wrap up, starting at the bottom of the grassy hill from the parking lot, flutter kicks, then burpees at the top of the hill.

Cake Boss took second shift with playtime at the playground.
Partnering up, one partner does squats, while the other runs around the playground. Then flapjack. Next was pull ups/merkins following the same format. To wrap up, keeping the same partner, one bear crawled across the field and run back, while the other did flutters. Flap jack until 3 rounds were done.

Fogerty took us home with some 11’s and hill repeats.
At the bottom of the hill with the statue, started with 10 merkins and bombjacks. Half way up the hill, 5 burpees, then 1 squat and big boy sit-up. No burpee on the way back down the hill. Repeat until 11’s are done cutting out the burpees when you hit 5 & 6.

This was a fun 60 min bootcamp.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Clave Boss & convergence in 12/23. Happy Birthday Walker. Tallawah is officially closed for good.

There were 10 stations at which we did, lunges, squat thrusters, swings, rows, curls, shoulder presses, merkins, goblet squats, cleans, and snatches.
