What Kind of Bullshit Exercise is This?
In an effort to make use of the Q Sheet, YHC is signing up to randomly Q through SW. Today was a trip back to the hallowed grounds of Cletus, now with new and improved 5:30 AM start time.
EC was supposed to be a joint adventure at Deadbolt’s suggestion, but he (a) “Forgot” and (b) Chickened out of a Cletus beatdown given the threat of pull ups. Something something rise to the challenge something set the bar higher something something. So, a few of us (Cowboy, Cupid, UTI, Bernie, and YHC) hit up 2 miles of the chilly May morning before a proper boot camp.
FNGs: The CMD (Coal Miner’s Daughter, from WV)
Warm Up: Run the lines on the court, SSH, Fazio Arm Circles, Imperial Squat Walkers
The Workout:
Part 1, on the Courts:
5x Devil Burpees (Slap the floor; miss the jump shot; flop on defense; flip to pushup before overhead clap….1 rep)
Start with 1 legged Wheelbarrows (these are stupid hard, btw), go forward, sideways, then backwards.
Repeat with 1 legged Bear Crawl
Part 2, on the Playground:
Groups of 4 rotating exercise:
- 5x Pullups
- 5x Devil Burpees
- 1 Legged Crawl Bear width of grounds
- 10x WWII
Repeat 4x. At some point Puddles provided the quote of the day (and title of this backblast)
Finish with extra round of pull ups before
Round 3, on the Hill:
Sprints while we waited for the 6.
This one is a bit of a blur. We started with merkin bear crawls up the hill. Every time your right foot came off the ground, a merkin was required.
Run back down, recover on the WWII.
Run backwards up the hill, Derkins off the fence. Down the hill, recover on the WWII. I think we did this 3-4 times. Ending with some more Devil Burpees before one last trip backwards up the hill. There were hints of a Merlot on the last trip…
Mary: A few mary exercises. Ended with Russian Ukrainian American Freedom Twists.
Announcements: Service opportunity at Food Cupboard tomorrow.
T-Claps (Recognition): Great to meet Plex for the first time this AM. He just started F3, but was killing it. I do not look forward to his first Q.
Prayer: So many ailing parents. We’re getting older guys, cherish the time you have with your parents now, you don’t know how long it’s going to last.
