Rainy morning Pantheon

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH (IC), honeymooners
THE THANG: moseyed over to the entrance of the school where it was dry and pulled out a deck of cards. I had a much different workout planned, but was thinking being in the rain was not the best idea for YHC, so this was plan B.
Breakdown was:
Diamonds = merkins
Spades= squats
Clubs = mountain climbers
Hearts = BBSUs
Aces were 14 count, that made everyone happy and the 2 jokers = 10 burpees
Finished early so we started some 11s with diamond merkins and lunges, but only got about 1/2 way through. Original MOT was bear crawl and crab walk, but was quickly revised to run and nur

Are you Tony Hawk?

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
– 30-something SSHs
– Dynamic stretching on soccer field
– Discussion about the origins of my F3 name and the fact that a kid at Inizios really REALLY thought I was Tony Hawk – lol
– The F3 Name conversation spilled over to some of the other PAX present…Change Order expressed grievance over being picked on because of his career, Kermit apparently really likes broad jumps – I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

THE THANG:
A tour of the campus was the basic premise:
– Mosey to the athletic entrance: Lunges walks/reverse lunge walks w/ assorted exercises in between (bomb jacks, big boy sit-ups, monkey humpers, etc.) between light poles
– Mosey to bus loop: Merkin train (1 merkin and walk your hands 3 “steps” to the right) down one side of the curb
– Wall sits alternating with BTTW x3
– Merkin train part 2
– Mosey to the playground: 1 pull up, 2 chin ups, 1 Kraken Burpee, 10 knees to chest on the swings x 3
– Mosey to back of school for assorted stupidity (maktar jais on the wall, bear crawls, calf raises up the steps, broad jumps, more lunge walks)
– Mosey to front of middle school at top of car rider loop: 11s with big boy sit-ups at bottom of hill and burpees at top – completed 1/10, 2/9, and 3/8
– “Catch me if you can” sprint back to COT

MARY: 4 min of PAX favorites

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Charity Shoot and Bourbon Tasting coming soon
COT: Kermit took us out!

Ironclad for the Win

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, LSS, Moroccan Nightclubs, downward dog/honeymooners
THE THANG: my son Ironclad (11) has been posting at the Yard and was very eager to help create the winky.  He wrote out the exercises so this is a workout an 11 year old can do 😉

5 reps of Merkins, Derkins, Diamond Merkins, Parker Peters.  Run half way around the loop and complete another set of 5 reps of each exercise.
Rinse and repeat but increase the rep count to 10 of each exercise.

Mosey to the back of the school for some wall work. Balls to the Wall. Every man does a 10 count (hold position for 90 seconds). Recovery is a wall sit for 90 seconds. Rinse and repeat!

Mosey to the next station:  
Round 1: 20 SSH, 20 Flutters, 40 squats, 40 shoulder taps (double count), 30 Carolina Dry Docks – run a lap around the parking lot
Round 2: 20 Xs & Os, 15 Big Boys, 20 LBCs, 15 Flutters, 10 Diamond merkins

Mosey to the pull up bars:
Split in 2 groups. 1st group completes 10 pull ups. 2nd group completes 10 knees to chest using the swing sets. Flapjack and complete 2 rounds

Mosey back to COT for 2mins of Mary to finish.

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: t laps for Poppins and his work on the Kenya shoes collection.
