Four manly men posted in the rain at The Foundy this am whilst many a fair weather fans stay nestled in their beds. Rumor had it one of our founding fathers from NC was in town and might post but apparently he didn’t get the memo about “rain or shine.” Anywho, there we were, standing in a drizzle, waiting for a possible deluge, hoping for no lightening, and as 5:30 approached, cooler heads prevailed and we made the quick drive to the large pavilion near the festival grounds as to focus on a safe beatdown out of the elements. Here’s what went down:
- IW x30
- AC x10F, x10R, x10Chinook
- WM x10
- Peter Parker x20
- LS Squat x20
- Goofball x20
Next up, a round of Crowd Pleasers (Merkins followed by Groiners) with some moseying thrown in for good measure. Line up on one end of the pavilion, run to first column, drop for a 1:1 Crowd Pleaser, mosey back, run to second column for 2:2, mosey back…..up to 5:5 then work back down to 1:1. Going by the lack of mumblechatter this was in fact a crowd pleaser.
Still raining pretty good at this point so we opted to stay under cover and lined up on the end of the pavilion again for some on-the-fly festivities:
- Lunge Walk to far side (28yds), mosey back
- Inchworm to far side, mosey back
- Lunge Walk to far side, mosey back
- Forward Crab Walk to far side, Backward Crab Walk back
- Monkey Shuffle (sideways) to the right, come back to the left…T-claps to Triple Shift for the suggestion of this beloved exercise
Still plenty time left so on to some ISI challenge catch up for those of us that have been slacking.
- Freddie Mercury, max reps (4 count) in 90 seconds
- Step Up R x20, Dips x20, Step Up L x20
- Freddie Mercury, max reps (4 count) in 60 seconds
- Step Up R x20, Dips x20, Step Up L x20
- Freddie Mercury, max reps (4 count) in 30 seconds
- Step Up R x20, Dips x20, Step Up L x20
Wait, there’s more! One minute of hip flexor stretching and two minutes of a plankorama to seal the deal.
A good morning was had by all.
