Wheelbarrow 11’s…WTH?!?

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , ,

7 PAX and 1 HC no show for Prison Yard. Today’s goal was 3 sets of 11’s. Little did I know we would only get started on the 2nd round before time expired. YHC planted the flag and off we go at 0530.

Warm up
Good mornings x11
SSH’s x11
Arm circles x11
Seal claps x11
Overhead claps x11
Squats x11

Mosey to opposite side of clubhouse
11’s with partner wheelbarrows (take turns)
WWI’s on one end and burpees on the other. 3 dirkens at half way cone while in wheelbarrow position.
– Roughly 40 yds from end to end with a cone in the middle
(Modify to lunge walk after 5 rds each due to difficulty)

11’s with crab walk
Reverse LBC IC & Turkish getups with 3x IC crab cakes was the plan. We ended up doing half the distance with getups on one end and crab cakes on the other. Only made it 2 or 3 passes before time was up.

We finished up with a mosey around the clubhouse and back to the flag just past 45 mins.

Strong work to those who posted for this one. Cancun had to hit the showers early to practice soap dropping. Hopefully we will finish this one up the next time YHC has the Q at the Yard.

PAX: , , , , , ,

FNGs:

Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Windmills, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: On the menu today was a modified Murph, done AMRAP style (no specific count to achieve). Since it was rainy, Best In Show made the recommendation that we modify the pull-ups as to not slip and risk injury. We opted for dips instead. 

We started out with a quick lap around the soccer fields. Then it was explained that this would be an AMRAP workout, 45 seconds on and 15 seconds off. Three exercises: dips, merkins, squats. Free to do them in whichever order, but switch each time. The idea of an AMRAP Murph seemed to throw PAX for a loop at first, but these are a bunch of smart guys and they caught on pretty quickly. We were able to get in 7 rounds of that before closing it out with another lap around the soccer fields.

Mary: Popcorn Mary

Roast Beef Mumblechatter at Purple Cobra

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

FNGs: None, but we did have Arby’s out for his 2nd workout. Welcome back, Arby’s!

Warm Up:

SSH, Willie Mays Hays, Sir Fazio Arm Circles F/R, Imperial Walkers, Frankenstein, Daisy Pickers

The Workout:

THANG 1:

PAX partnered up to complete some partner work. One partner went one way around the lot while the other went the other direction. When they met up, partners did 10 pattycake merkins on one side, 10 WW2 on the other side. We alternated the mode of transportation between each round. 1st round mosey, 2nd round karaoke, 3rd round lunge walk, 4th round bear crawl.

THANG 2:

We moseyed over to the playground and snagged some cinderblocks thanks to the recent replenishment from No Doubt.

We then completed a partner DORA consisting of 100 block swings, 150 overhead press, 200 squats (we wound up shortening this to 100 squats due to time and YHC getting bored, wanting to do something else…). While one PAX completed the block exercises, the other PAX ran down to the 2nd speed bump just past the facilities (which were open, but no Boucher to be found) and back to the start near the playground.

THANG 3: 

PAX returned blocks, moseyed to the facilities once again, but still no Boucher…lots of mumblechatter throughout around Arby’s name (he’s a catering manager at Chick-Fil-A) and lots of ribbing around his love of roast beef sandwiches…I’ll leave it there…

PAX completed 2 rounds of balls to the wall and people’s chair. 10 count each PAX. Impressive counting as each PAX counted to 10 in a different language…English, Spanish, Pakistani, Estonian!!!

Back to the flag for Mary.

Mary:

Homer to Marge, Absolutions, Pickle Pounders, LBCs, stretching

Make it a great day, men!

The Workout: Today’s Q messaged early and let us know he was not sleeping well. No problem, can’t Q on an empty tank. We got you fam! I was happy to take the opportunity to Q.

We moseyed over to the rock pile where PAX got a shmedium rock and circled up. We performed 25 count: curls, triceps, ruh rohs, straight-leg deadlifts, squats. We set our rocks down, lined up and sprinted to the other side of the parking lot and jogged back. Round 2 saw the same, but count was reduced to 20. Round 3, reduced to 15. Returned our rocks and moseyed over to the picnic shelter.

At the picnic shelter, PAX picked a spot on the wall for 20 count People’s Chair down the line, total of 60 count. Then over to the tables for 10 count Urkins, Durkins and Dips. Two more rounds for a total of 3. Having our fill, we moseyed over to the tennis courts.

Mary: Popcorn Mary and stretching / yoga to finish things off.
