We returned to the front of Oasis for people chairs and walls balls for two rounds. We had 15 mins left so I asked Six Inch and Best in Show for their “favorite” core exercises. We agreed on american hammer, box cutters, wwii and side planks for 45 on 15 rest for 3 rounds.

Aint nobody got time for SSH

/in /by

LED, FRAM, 16-Bit, Nemo, Abe, Flip Phone, Woody on the Q

Warmup:  Frankenstein, Sir Fazio, Imperial Walkers, Willy Mays Hayes, Slo-mo merkin, Slo-mo squats.  SSH were attempted but after just a 3 count Q got tired of them and cut it short, to the amusement of the PAX.

The Thang:  Slow mosey lap around the perimeter of the school building so Q could recon the scene and plan out his routine.  After that we just kept moseying ’round the building, stopping along the way to hammer out double doses of legs, shoulders, chest.

  • 10 merkin, rest 30 seconds, 15 merkin
  • 15 squat, rest, 15 jump squats
  • 10 Carolina Dry Docks, rest, 10-15 more
  • 10 ea. Bulgarian Split Squats, rest, 15 more

I think we did that at least twice, adding variation to the merkin, dry dock and squats.  Also a surprise round of dips along the way somewhere

Ended with about 90 seconds of Mary, LBC and Dying Cockroach.

Q not only forgot to bring a flag, but neglected to take a photo.  Artist’s rendition, attached.
