Friday the 20th at the Stockade – clever title absent

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Short “mozyroo” from the AO to the front of Harris Teeter.  YHC has been nursing a bum calf so no SSH were to be had.  We proceeded with  Carolina Dry Docks, Low Slow Squats, American Hammers, Mountain Climbers and Moroccan Night Clubs.
THE THANG:  Another short mozy to the side of HT.  At HT we did a group wall sit with the first Pax giving us a 10 count.  We then crossed the alley and did 5 merkins as a group.  When back to the HT wall we swapped out wall sits for planks.  Rinse and repeat with ongoing 10 counts and merkins (regular, hand release, Diamond, wide arm) alternating wall sits and planks.  After finishing these we did a lap around the oil change place with a brief stop for dips using the wall.  
 Back to HT for the same series but we swapped out merkins for 3 burpees.  Burpees included regular, Superman, Kraken and 8 count.  Repeat the lap (with dips) and back to HT.  Last series we swapped out burpees for 5 big boy sit-ups.
 Mozy to the fountain at the bottom of the hill by the fire dept.  There we did a plank clock with Carolina Dry Docks.  We started at 1:00 and did one CDD.  Plank walk to 2:00 for two CDDs.  Kept going until we did a full fountain lap and 78 total CDDs.
 Briefest mozy ever to the start of the row of arborvitae trees at the entrance to the apartment complex.  Starting with the first arborvitae we did two burpees and lunge walked the row, where at alternating trees, we did two burpees.  48 burpees later we were done.  Running a bit short on time we jogged our way back down the row and did two burpees at every third one.
  Mozy back to COT with one minute to spare.  One minute of full body destroyers ensued and we were all happy.

Awkward Movements

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Tempo Merkins, A little bit of Broga, calf raises

THE THANG:
Wanting to focus on improving mobility and core stability, I designed a weinke to challenge that.
– KB pendulum swings x 5 (in each direction)
– Deadlift to Squat motion x10
– Cross Chop x 10 (5 each side)
– KB Windmill x 10 (5 each side)
– One legged overhead press x10 each leg
– Plank Pull Throughs x 10 (5 each arm)
– Inchworm to frog jump across 2 parking spaces
– duck walk back
Repeat till time is up.
We got about 4-5 rounds in.

The deadlift to squat motion is where you bend over as if you’re doing a deadlift, keeping your back straight. Drop into the bottom of the squat position. Using your legs, drive straight up and NOT back into the bent over position.
