The Most Uncomfortable Thing

YHC pre-blasted a potential FNG at Mutiny this morning which brought a good crowd.  Unfortunately our FNG was a no-show but we had a good time regardless.  I was happy to see so many happy faces this morning.

FNGs:

We were supposed to have one but, alas, none showed.

Warm Up:

Lap around the soccer field and then circle up by the tennis courts:

Good morning x10 IC

SSH x20 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

Penalty burpees for Warbucks being late x5

The Workout:

We moseyed down the parking lot and stopped at the first island.  From there we started YHC’s favorite go-to, the Crab Boil

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab cakes x10 IC

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab humpers  x10 IC

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab jacks x10 IC

Once we were done with that we took a break to do some Jack Webbs.  For those who forget, it’s a 1:4 ratio of merkins and air presses.  We went up to 10:40

We crab boiled back up the parking lot and then did Spud Webbs, which are like the previous workout but this time with lunges and squats. (It was A LOT of squats)

Once done with that we went to the rock pile and grabbed a rock and moved up to the pavilion:

Curls for the girls x16 IC and move two rocks to the left

Triceps extensions x16 IC and move three rocks to the left

Chest press x16 IC and move two rocks to the left

Trunk rotations x16 IC and move two rocks to the left, back to our original rocks

Ground pounders x16 IC and then return your rock

One last exercise, we paired up and did roman sit-ups on the picnic table.  This is where you hang off the front of the table, face first, while someone holds your legs to keep you from falling on your face.  Then you do a reverse sit up using your lower back muscles to pull you up.  Each PAX did 10 OYO and, afterwards, one described it as “the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever done in F3”

Mary:

At the tennis courts we circled up for:

LBC x10

Reverse LBC x10

Knees to the left side LBC x10

Knees to the right side LBC x10

Homer to Marge x10

Sleeping Hillbillies x10 each side

Freddy Mercury x10

Announcements:

An honor to lead as many men as showed up this morning.  I love leading a large crowd.  More pain to share.
