Ultimate Hard Mode

/in , /by

FNGs: None today
Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Frankenstein’s x10 IC
The Workout:

Ultimate frisbee F3 style! When the disc hits the ground do an exercise from a rotating list. For today the list was 10x merkins, 10x squats, 5x burpees. A big up in the number of reps vs what is the norm – that’s why it was hard mode!

When a team scores they call an exercise that everyone does.

We played until 42 minutes or so – after a game point call we moseyed back to the parking lot for some Mary.

We Don’t Do That Here

/in /by

After running a lap around the track and starting warm up your QIC didn’t notice that Forceps tried to sneak in without anyone noticing until Double D called him out!! At which point Double D says we have “burpees coming our way” to which Gump responds with “ We don’t do that here in Fuquay.”  Needless to say your QIC was going to have none of that and we did 5 burpees OYO to end warmup.

PAX: Double D, Gump, Forceps, Farva, Potts, Doc, FedEx, 16-Bit, Yosemite, Sprinkler

EC: Fonzie, H1N1, LED  Don’t know if this qualifies as EC because they never came back for the workout

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Did the normal SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Air Squared and  Fozio Arm Circles in a plank position

The Workout: After warm ups we moysed over to the soccer field in front of the playground where I told the pax that we’d be doing “ The Sheldon Cooper” which consisted of burpees, squats, merkins, BBSU and a lap across the field and back. We started with 10 of each exercise and worked our way down to 1 except for the burpees. On the last set of burpees I ask Sprinkler to pick a number between 1-10 and he said 8 so we did 8 burpees.

Mary: American Hammer, low slow flutter, homer to marge, stretches and pickle pounders

Just Back For The Weekend

/in /by

PAX: LED, Fonzie, Doc, Finkle, Norm, Modify, H1N1, FedEx, Yosemite, Sprinkler

EC: Norm

FNGs: None

It was great to see Norm back in the gloom, even though he was just back for the weekend and heading back to training after Mutiny.

Warm Up: We did some SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Arm Circles, and Overhead Claps all in cadence

The Workout: We started at the short wall under the parking lot shelter for step ups and squats. After that we went to the concession stand wall for some BTW and Shoulder Taps.  Then we headed to the parking lot behind Club Works for walking lunges into burpee to the rock pile where I told the Pax to get a medium size rock and John Cusack to the parking lot on the side of Club Works where we started with some Merkins, on each “up” we slid the rock under us to the left or right, then we bear crawled across the lot with the rock.  On this side we did Rut Rows into overhead alternating lunges and then bear crawled back with the rock to do some more sliding rock Merkins. After we bear crawled back to the other side, with the rock, we did some alternating around the world to squat to curl for the girls. Told the Pax to John Cusack back for some rinse and repeat. Before we returned the rocks we partnered up so P1 can do Merkins with a rock on his back as P2 did squats. We returned the rocks and I told the Pax that we would be heading back the way we came in so we did walking lunges into burpee back to the the parking circle.

Mary: Ran out of time

Announcements: Check Facebook and Slack

T-Claps (Recognition):  Norm and his family as he heads back to training

Prayer: FedEx’s son and co worker, who was bitten by a dog, and Norm’s friend who’s about to have a baby
