Cinder Blocks & Pull Ups & Sprinting Oh My!
EC took the form of swinging by Nutcracker and stealing all the cinder blocks for Cowboy & YHC (thanks for the help Cowboy!) Arrival at 5:20, Banana Seat finally found us, the disclaimer was delivered, and we were off.
FNGs: Shocker! (I’m so sorry)
Warm Up:
2 laps around the parking lot; second lap included Karaoke/ Butt Kickers / High Knees
1 Legged SSH x20, Imperial Squat Walkers, Hill Squat Billies, Merkins
Grab a block / weight, and head off
The Workout:
Man it’s a long way from the parking lot to the play ground. Pax stopped along the way to learn the exercises-du-jour:
Goblet Squat: Keep weight vertical in front of you; forces good form with back
1 Legged Romanian Dead Lift: 1 legged (duh), keep legs straight, extend off-leg straight back behind you, bending at waist.
Finally arrive at playground. Pax splits into 4 groups, doing 1 of exercise above + pullups. All in reps of 12.
After completing all 4, meet up for 12 Catalina Wine Makers
Repeato
Part dos:
Mosey to front of school doing curls / triceps extensions with blocks. Stop along the way to learn Merkins w/ Overhead Press (aka: Block-ees? Block Burpees? whatever)
Pair up by speed. Pax1 runs a lap, Pax2 does AMRAP Blockees. Switch
Repeat, only Pax1 needs to finish before Pax2 does 2 fewer Blockees than before
Repeat, only Pax1 needs to finish before Pax2 does 3 fewer Blockees (basically all out sprint)
Part tres?
A Tiger Blood Staple: 2 footed “the floor is lava except the paw prints”. You’re welcome @BlueHen
Mary:
Reps of 12, 11, 10, 9 … of a bunch of ab exercises
Announcements:

Breach doing an RTP workout next Monday
Carpex is doing a CSAUP that involves Trains. Sounds fun
T-Claps (Recognition):
Great to see Bernie & Pilgrim out on the regular. Miss working out with those guys.
Prayer:
Pilgrim’s dad & cancer issues.
Today is Maundy Thursday, the day Jesus was betrayed by his inner most circle. What’s amazing to me is that, after all of it, He still welcomed them back with forgiveness and good relationship. Maybe, this Easter season, think about those with whom you’ve lost relationship and need to restore.
