Bloody Hell at Thunder

Pax of 4 gathered for a taste of the old management. Crosby promised YHC would bring the suck so he did everything in his power to oblige.

One 45lb weight plate and one fire hose joined in for the fun.

Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Good afternoons x10 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Mountain Climbers x10 IC

The Workout:

Pax were told to keep the 45lb weight plate off the ground for the entire workout – they weren’t told what the penalty would be but they had a good guess.

John Cusack the plate and fire hose to the playground.

2 pax do pull ups, 2 hold plank (one with weight on their back). Switch, rinse and repeat until all pax have done 25 pull ups.

John Cusack the plate and fire hose to the amphitheater.

Lazy Dora with the 45lb plate in tow – pax partnered up and between the two:

100 merkins – plank hold while not doing merkins

200 squats – squat hold while not doing squats

300 LBCs – 6 inch leg hold while not doing LBCs

Que the quotes of the day:

”Bloody hell” – every time someone told Brexit he had another round of an exercise to do.

”It’s never been 6 inches” – Pax not to be named

After the lazy Dora the pax John Cusack’d the plate and hose over to the white fence on the other side of the soccer field.

Partner 1 does Dirkins on the fence – 7 on the bottom rung, 7 on the middle, 7 on the top. Partner 2 holds a plank. Switch and repeat.

John Cusack down to the other end of the white fence for Irkins – 10 on the top rung, 10 on the middle, 10 on the bottom, and 10 on the ground (full blown Merkins).

After these Irkins YHC “accidentally” dropped the 45lb plate (and was quickly called on the “accident”) so the pax got to all enjoy 5 burpees 🙂

John Cusack to the tennis courts for Mary.
Mary:

Yoga – reverse table top twice, lingering for ~5 seconds.

Go into downward dog, rocking heels into ground.

Swing leg through to runners pose, dropping down onto back knee and forearms. Switch and repeat on other side.

Back to downward dog, rocking heels again.
