Nineteen men posted to get the usual Saturday fix at The Mothership. YHC filled in as Q for Cowbell who anticipated a late night at the Taylor Swift concert or something of the sorts. Typical June conditions meant we were in for another sweat fest but nothing the PAX couldn’t handle. YHC has been slacking lately on themed workouts and didn’t want to throw together a last minute history tour so then plan was a no-frills workout in an effort to deliver a beatdown to all, and make sure to include plenty Merkins for the ISI challenge. As the PAX trickled in, it was good to see some 2nd and 3rd timers in the mix which is always a good thing. After the disclaimer, we were off in a longer than usual mosey around the Great Lawn, made clear by Rain Man, and circled up for the Pre-Thang:
SSH x25, AC x20, WM x10, IPW x25
Then we lined up on one side of the lawn for a bear crawl halfway followed by a lunge walk the other half.
Next up, a mosey around Storyland to the back of TG Stadium where we broke up into three groups for:
Group 1 – Wall Sit against the train shed, which we made base for the circuit
Group 2 – Run to the Refinery for 10 pullups and 10 inverted rows, or any combo of the two, run back and plank
Group 3 – Run to the prison bars, aka Tool Wall, for calf raises x40, run back and plank
After one round, rinse and repeat.
Then a mosey to the Museum water fountain where we lined up along the trees for:
Merkins x10, Squats x10 (OYO) at each light pole, run to the next…think think were 10 poles.
How bout some Mary: LBC x20, Box Cutters x20, Penguins x25
How bout an Indian Run: PAX split in two groups, one on each side of Lelong Dr., down and back (almost half mile), with a little friendly competition along the way. T-claps to Rudy for the Nascar-like announcing.
This brought us back to the light poles so this time we knocked out Merkins x5 and Squats x5 at each one, plank and wait/hydrate by the water fountain.
More Mary:
LBTs ? x20
Merkins x10 OYO
Russin Twist a la Jingle Vader x20?
Merkins x10 OYO
Mahatma took the mic for: Dying Cockroach x10, keep feet up, Flutter Kicks x10, repeat
Time to head back to base. Total ground covered was 2.68mi. Merkin count was 170 for those in the ISI challenge.
COT to seal the deal. Coffeeteria included some good F2 followed by bible study…t-claps Woz.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
