Death Row at PY (take 2)

/in /by

6 HIM showed up to Prison Yard. YHC had planned to finish the last Q at PY since we never completed it. Only this time we modified to 7’s instead of 11’s which was a great idea because we still barely finished. Inmates were begging to go back inside but they had to finish first.

Part Two:

7’s with crab walk (40-45 yds each way)
Reverse LBC IC and Turkish getups with 3x IC crab cakes in the middle on each pass.
Lap around clubhouse

7’s with bear crawl
Pickle pounders IC and Absolutions with 3 shoulder taps half way
Lap around clubhouse back to flag

Mary wasn’t allowed in the yard today.

Strong push men! Glad we got through that. Fram asked to shelf that one for a long time and I agree. We finished up with announcements and prayer.

Wheelbarrow 11’s…WTH?!?

/in /by

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.

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.

Upper Body Day at THE YARD

/in /by

Warm Up:  Standard stuff, SSH and the like, but knowing today would be upper body-heavy, I threw in some Sir Fazios and Slo-Mo Merkins to get that whole area ready to go

The Workout:  This is a lazy copy & paste of routine I’ve done before, with the purpose of eschewing a well rounded full body workout for a more targeted beat down of one particular area.  The thang was this:

A warmup of 7’s on the parking lot hill, consisting of LBCs and Squats.  Then the main event was 3 stations, positioned around the community center building:  Merkins, Dips, Carolina Dry Docks.  We hit a set of one, mosey about 1/3 of the way around the building, repeato, repeato repeato. 

Because the mosey was so short and didn’t give us much time to recover between sets, I threw in a few rounds of People’s Chair after 2 or three rounds.  The only other variation was on the Merkins – one set was Diamonds, one set was wide-grip, and the final set was a Merkin Sampler – 4 reps of each. 

Mary: Side hips raises, heel taps maybe, …something difficult FRAM made us do, and probably one more, I dunno.  

T-Claps (Recognition):   The pre-workout message was a reminder of GRATITUDE.  Keeping our mindset off “I HAVE to workout”, and keeping it on “I GET TO/AM ABLE to work out”.  Celebrate physical abilities of our bodies and be grateful for every opportunity to use them as they are intended.

Prayer:  Nemo driving to Ohio with his son for a big time swim competition
