The Thang

We took to the parking lot for a four‑corner modified Jack Webb grinder.
Run the long sides. Shuffle the short sides. Stop at every corner. Do work. Repeat.

Jack Webb progressions ran from 7:28 down to 1:4, pairing movements as follows:

  1. Burpees / Monkey Humpers
  2. X‑Mountain Climbers / Merkins
  3. Squats / Squat Pulses
  4. LBCs / American Hammers

The heart rate stayed high, the mumble chatter low, and the sweat puddles… abundant.

Upper Body Day at THE YARD

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
