At 5:30 it was looking like a PAX of two but then out of the darkness a few more trickled in hot to bring the count to six. Good to see HVAC back this week, especially since there was the notion he might be one-and-done after Hawg’s yoga workout last week. This was YHC’s first Q at the new, no-run Uptowner so this meant incorporating in more exercises and COPs in lieu of that not-so-manly jogging/frolicking that is known to occur at Wolfpack Mountain. After the disclaimer we were off in a non-mosey for a warm up around the flag:
SSH X30 IC
Hill Billies x25 IC
Arm Circles X20 IC
Windmills X20 IC
Alt Shoulder Taps X20 IC
Plank Rolls X20 IC
Grad a rock and head for the first baseball field to pair up for a descending burpee circuit:
PAX 1 lines up facing PAX 2 with a safe distance between. PAX 1 completes 10 Burpees while PAX 2 completes curls with the rock. Flip flop back and forth until each PAX has done 10,9,8,….=55 Burpees total for each man plus lots of curls and some rows thrown in at round 5 or so.
Head in a non-mosey 30 yds away to field #2 for an Mary inspired Indian Bear Crawl. PAX lines up in outfield (behind third base) for with alternating Mary while last guy bear crawls to front. A bit hard to explain to the woosy and winded PAX but it came together once we started.
Round 1 to home plate: LBC, Russian Twists, Flutter Kicks, Penguins
Round 2 back to outfield: Plank, low plank, LBT
Bonus Round 3 consisted of side squat walk w/rock OYO to fence and back. Some grumbling at this point but the PAX stayed with it.
Enough time for one last COP with:
Rock Curls X15 IC
Rock Rows x15 IC
Walk back to flag while doing Shoulder Presses w/rock. Deposit coupons in proper spot and call it a morning.
COT included prayer for those traveling, Kim Chi’s friend, Fracsac’s brother, and YHC’s son.
Nothing groundbreaking or newsworthy this am, just six men all striving for a solid beatdown. No whiskey-dicking in sight.
Tool
Great beatdown as always. I’ll steal that descending burpee exercise. The squat walks sucked. I thought the presses back to the pile was a nice touch. The Q rules, but I would like the record to show that I am uncomfortable with the amount of travel that occurred during this workout. At one point I could barely see the rock pile.
Sounds like a good one. Just one question: How exactly does one trickle in hot?
