The Most Uncomfortable Thing

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , ,

YHC pre-blasted a potential FNG at Mutiny this morning which brought a good crowd.  Unfortunately our FNG was a no-show but we had a good time regardless.  I was happy to see so many happy faces this morning.

FNGs:

We were supposed to have one but, alas, none showed.

Warm Up:

Lap around the soccer field and then circle up by the tennis courts:

Good morning x10 IC

SSH x20 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

Penalty burpees for Warbucks being late x5

The Workout:

We moseyed down the parking lot and stopped at the first island.  From there we started YHC’s favorite go-to, the Crab Boil

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab cakes x10 IC

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab humpers  x10 IC

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab jacks x10 IC

Once we were done with that we took a break to do some Jack Webbs.  For those who forget, it’s a 1:4 ratio of merkins and air presses.  We went up to 10:40

We crab boiled back up the parking lot and then did Spud Webbs, which are like the previous workout but this time with lunges and squats. (It was A LOT of squats)

Once done with that we went to the rock pile and grabbed a rock and moved up to the pavilion:

Curls for the girls x16 IC and move two rocks to the left

Triceps extensions x16 IC and move three rocks to the left

Chest press x16 IC and move two rocks to the left

Trunk rotations x16 IC and move two rocks to the left, back to our original rocks

Ground pounders x16 IC and then return your rock

One last exercise, we paired up and did roman sit-ups on the picnic table.  This is where you hang off the front of the table, face first, while someone holds your legs to keep you from falling on your face.  Then you do a reverse sit up using your lower back muscles to pull you up.  Each PAX did 10 OYO and, afterwards, one described it as “the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever done in F3”

Mary:

At the tennis courts we circled up for:

LBC x10

Reverse LBC x10

Knees to the left side LBC x10

Knees to the right side LBC x10

A Heavy Bag in the Nut

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , ,

YHC hasn’t been to the Nut  in a while, so I figured why not drag out the heavy bag and dumbbells for the festivities today! Was stoked to see that 8 Pax arrived on scene with various wisecracks about that big, long bag! We made the rounds in several areas on campus today for a complete whole body beatdown!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: A quick mosey over to the bus loop for some Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, and Overhead Claps.
The Workout: Annies x 10 IC followed by Mountain Climbers x 10 IC. Repeato x3. Jack Squats (1 squat = 3 jump squats), we did this up to 5.

Another quick mosey to the front parking lot where we partnered up for running opposite directions to the stop sign or light pole respectively for 5 Star Jumps. Once meeting in the middle, partners did Patty Cake Merkins x10. We did 4 rounds of this.

We then headed over to the far side of the school at the long carpool lane for a set of BLIMPS suicides to the light poles. 5 Burpees, 10 Lunge Jumps, 15 Imperial Walker IC, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jacks, 30 Squats. Each time at the end we did 10 SSH. Once finished we lined up for a couple rounds of Guantanamo.

Moseyed up to the front of the school for the heavy bag routine. 1 PAX uses the bag as a bench with the 45 lb. dumbbells for 25 reps. That PAX called out an AMRAP exercise for the rest of us. Not all are included here but I think: American Hammers, Dips, Irkins, Dirkins, Homer to Marge, lap around the lot, Pickle Pounders, LBC, Freddie Mercury. Step Ups, Squats, LSF’s, etc.
Mary: baked into the final routine!!!!
Announcements: LONG ASS RUN Saturday…check the Slack…show up!
