Wheelbarrow 11’s…WTH?!?

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.

We performed the 12 Days of Christmas workout just as the song intended.

‘Twas the Week Before Christmas

FNGs: Zero

Warm Up: Side Straddle Hop, Good Mornings, Windmills, Daisy Pickers, Frankensteins, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Sir Fazio Arm Circles

Bondo with the good call for a count off before we Moseyed to the Parking Deck! Thanks Bondo!

The Workout:

PAX planked whenever the poem was being read and they were not performing another exercise.

Twas the week before Christmas, when all through downtown

Not a sad clown was stirring, only the PAX.

The burpees  (10 oyo) were finished in the parking lot with care

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be here

The PAX were planking all cold on the ground

While visions of 20 monkey humpers danced all around

And Cancun with his stinky gloves, and Abe in his cap

Had just settled down with the PAX to do 20 plank jacks.

When out on the grass, there rose such a clatter

The PAX sprang from their plank to see what was the matter.

Away to the other side (across the parking deck – touch the wall and return) we flew like a flash

Sprinting vigorously, we completed the dash.

The concrete at the feet of the of winded PAX

Gave the luster of 20 in cadence smurf jacks

When, what to our wondering eyes should appear,

But Stickers and 8 tiny exercises so near.

A little old Q, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment, this must be a trick.

More rapid than eagles his courses they came,

And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.

Now Little Baby Crunches (ICx10), now Mountain Climbers (ICx10), now Squats (ICx10), now 10 OYO Burpees

On Merkins (ICx10), on Side Straddle Hops (ICx10), on Lunges (ICx10), on Side Lunges (10 each leg)

To the end of the parking deck, to the base of the wall

Now dash away, dash away, dash away all! (sprint back to other end – touch wall and return)

So up to the other end the PAX they flew

With a sleigh full of toys and Stickers, too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the ground

The sound of feet as more mountain climbers (ICx10) came ‘round.

As we drew in our hand, and did 10 Merkins

Down the slide Stickers came with a bound

He was dressed all in red, from his head to his foot,

His clothes were all tarnished, in sweat and dirt.

A bundle of toys, he had brought on his back

He looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples how merry.

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry.

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow

And the beard of his chin was gone, oh no!

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath

He had a broad face and a little round belly

That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was lean and mean, a right jolly old creature

And everyone laughed when they saw him,

he had the weirdest of features.

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head

Soon let me know, we had nothing to Dredd.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to work.

Laying out presents, then he turned with a jerk.

And laying a finger on his nose,

Giving a nod, up the slide he rose.

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle

But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight

DO 20 OYO Burpees YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT!

Mosey to Ampitheater to open a present!

But wait, what’s this?! Santa left us a present?? 

We opened the present and found a Tea Party Set: 10-20-30-40  (Perform 10 Dirkins, 20 Irkins, 30 Dips, 40 Step Ups)

We wrapped with the Little Merkin Boy at the end. (PAX Plank, while we Play Bing Crosby’s Little Drummer Boy and every time we get parump-a-pum-pum – do a merkin)

Mary: Homer to Marge, Box Cutters, Heel Taps, Supermans, Low Slow Flutter, WWIIs followed by stretching to close us out

Half way through I added a pushup on the bag before each throw just to make things more spicy.
