It gets HEAVIER as we go!

YHC had been wanting to get out the big boy toys for some bulking up.  The Prison Yard is notorious for coupons and tabata style work. We had tires, ropes, an ab wheel, Pain sticks, 15lbs DB – 65lbs DB, 125lbs on the straight bar, 40lbs Tractor weights, a fire hose and battle rope. Time to get to work.

FNGs: None

Warm Up: I/C SSH 20, I/C 10 Good mornings, Daisy Pickers, Frankenstien’s SFAC forward/reverse.
The Workout:  Thang 1> Instructed PAX’s to get into groups of 3 and we talked about each of the stations.  The 3 man teams rotated inside of each station performing a super set per muscle group.  Each exercise was 50 sec with 7 sec rest/rotate. After each superset was complete PAX rotated to next station.  Superset 1 ABS (Toes touch each plate on the straight bar with 125lbs while holding a bench press/AB wheel/ Double overhand smash with battle rope.) Superset 2 Shoulders (Two PAX standing press the tire while 3rd man does Bobby Hurley’s, Rotate through every 50 sec…There was some swearing on this one) Superset 3 Biceps ( Railroad iron curl/Hammer Curls 40lbs/15 lbs alternating curls…FED EX gets credit for naming the BB on this station) Superset 4 LAT/Delts (Front raise with fire hose/ Heavy bag or tire flip/Pain Stick press….DEADBOLT wanted to know if there was a rest station built in) Superset 5 Shoulders/Traps (Tractor weight shrugs/Upright Rut Rows/ 30lbs or 65lbs Lawnmowers) Thang 2 > Stack’em Curls for the girls with Plank hold.  40lbs, 60 lbs, 35lbs, Railroad iron, 25lbs, 15lbs. Start with two reps and work your way up to 12 reps finishing with the 15lbs. As the PAX move through the stackems the other plank hold while waiting their turn and when you finish move to plank hold.  Release when last PAX gets to end of group….DOUBLE D was sleeveless Fuquay-Varina style and was ready for the gun show after this.

Tennis at the trot

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Nice mosey around the tennis court stoping at each parking lot light to do a prescribed exercise.  Along the way we divided into 1’s and 2’s and picked up our coupon (rock) to use over at the hill.
The Workout:

At the hill 1’s and 2’s partnered up to do circuit exercises.  Going up the hill one partner would do a rock climber (bear crawl with rock) at the top we did in sets of 10, 15, 20, and 25 Dips, Irkins, Tricep Ext, and curls for the girls.  Partner at the bottom was doing Mountain climbers, Monkey Humpers, Marionettes, and then Mexican Jumping beans.

After much mumblechatter and @Redenbacher almost loosing a leg from a falling rock down the hill we moved over to the tennis courts for a little game of F3 Tennis.  Rules: ball can only bounce once on your side, player bounce player not player bounce bounce, serve has to make it over net from the back rectangle, opposing team gave prescribed exercise if the team got a penalty.  Playing to 10.
Mary: We did Low slow flutter, boxcutters, E2Ks, boat canoes, and pickle pounders (to get ready for Father’s Day of course)

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Bounce, neck rotations, spinal rotations, foot traces, hinge stretch, windmill. Finish with a lap around the block to get the HR up.

    FNGs: Welcome (Wilson Robertson) Drum Circle! He went to App State and said it was a pretty groovy experience..  Thanks for bringing  him out Fonzie.

    YHC made my inaugural Q at TBD so I wanted to make sure PAX got their money worth on this fine Wednesday morning in the gloom.  Seven of us headed out for Extra Credit with great pick ups of the 6 along the way. Returned to the flag for about 10 more PAX ready to get after it. Fonzie let me know we had an FNG so I laid down the disclaimer and off we went.

    Inspired by Billy Madison’s journey through back through school, this routine involves a running loop and exercise per grade. Begin with a loop (to simulate the grade) followed by an exercise with 12 reps as the exam. This concludes 1st grade. Run the loop again, followed by the 1st grade exercise x 12 reps plus a new exercise x 12 reps. This concludes 2nd grade. Continue with the loop and adding an exercise each time until you’ve completed one loop and exercise combo for each of the 12 grades.

    Dirty Dozen at Prison Yard Thinking About Stirrups

    FNGs: No, but welcome back kotter, Tim (Hoege?) a.k.a. Cream of Corn (originally from NE, named in SW 4 yrs ago)
    Warm Up:  Many PAX got their point and ran for two miles (~20 mins).  Dumbo missed us at 5:05 am and ran on his own; I overhead him saying waiting in the driveway for Pablo who never came out.  Hope Pablo is OK.  Circled up for the following exercises:  good am, SSH, daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios, seal claps, o/h claps, Mike Phelps…
    The Workout:  The warden brought many dumbbells ranging in weight from 15 lbs to 50 lbs.  An index card with a few exercises were written down as a suggestion (implied 10 reps) and dumbbells were spread out over the parking lot.  A 20 lb stretchy thing was added, as well as a cinder block and jump rope.  See pic for details of exercises.  The time keeper was  the 50 lb dumbbell.  Note this 50 pounder was either carried by itself or farmer’s carry (Two 50 lb dumbbells).  Some brave PAX tried the farmer’s carry including Warbucks, Cupid, Shredder…(apologies if I left out anyone).  PAX had to carry the 50 lb dumbbell around the parking lot.  While this was going on, PAX cranked out their respective exercises with their specific weight/tool/coupon.  If no tools were available, PAX were instructed to do core exercises.
    Mary:  Circled up for 6 inches, box cutters, and static stretches that included some work on the groin area.  Lots of mumble chatter about stirrups.  It was quite the visual.  Cream of Corn may not come back for another four years.
    Announcements:  JOCO CSAUP. Murph on Memorial Day, Bed builds, 5Ks coming up…
    T-Claps (Recognition):  PAX showing great effort today especially with the farmer’s carry
    Prayer:  Dumbo took us out – thank you!  Prayers for an infant born too early who gave joy to his family for a handful of weeks…..automatically gone to heaven; UNSPOKEN
    Thanks PAX for helping me load/unload my car this am.

    Honored to lead (Forgot to say the Pledge of Allegiance – thinking about the stirrups I guess).  -Dauber

     

    10 Pointers at Mutiny

    First time Q for me at Mutiny. Been there several times over the years but never took lead. Was great to combine with Red October for EC, w/u, Mary and COT.

    FNGs: No, but we had an FNG at Red October, welcome Murdoch
    Warm Up: combined with Red October
    The Workout: Indian Run to get things moving. Selected rocks and started with curls and tris from 20 to 15 to 10 to 5.  Shifted to the 10-pointer. Did 10 on the 10 count. This is full motion move starting with a squat, curl, tri press, back to chest press, curl down and end back down in the squat. Slower count, focus on form. Then we did a Bear Crawl halfway back up the road and jog the rest to a plank hold, 20 SSH IC, and 10 tempo squats. Mosey back to rocks and repeat (I think we ended up doing 4 full sets). Headed over to tennis courts and did a shoulder burn as we waited for Red October.
    Mary: A couple quick moves called by YHC and Breach
    Announcements: Upcoming picnic, check slack and make plans.
    T-Claps (Recognition): Rainmaker coming back out, great work this morning
    Prayer: Breach took us out

    OG U-turn returns

    25 PAX got a taste of the old school route this morning. We had a bunch of ECers run over from Jones Park as well. Lot of good chatter on this brisk morning. Nice work picking up the six. The 3 mile group did some yoga after their run. Pikachu called in sick so YHC stepped up for some May points. Nice work all around.

    We ended with prayer as always.

    Thanks for allowing me to lead.

    BS out!
