PAX: , , , ,

Whereas YHC has been still steady on the Q opportunities, I have been terribly lax in doing BB’s probably since late October. It’s a new year. 5 dudes showed up on a balmy New Year’s Day to begin new challenges and have new laughs. Something about backaches…and the possible escapades of the night before. Nothing like the GroundPounder mumblechatter.

FNG’s: no.
Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Seal/Overhead Claps, Standard Merkins x 22, Prisoner Squats x 22
The Workout: Mosey to the playground for a series of 30/20/10 Step-Ups/Dips. Mosey to the wall of pain. Considered trying to do deadlifts on the defunct soda pop machine, but decided to do 15 ct. per Pax BTTW and People’s Chair. Repeato.

A quick mosey over by the ball field bleachers for a 15/10/5 ct. Bleacher merkins/irkins routine.  Now to the rocks. The group did a rock DORA where 1 Pax bearcrawled up and down the parking lot, while others performed 100 Ground Pounders, 200 Curls for the Girls, 300 Tricep Press. The group rotated left to the various size rocks throughout the routine.

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

I haven’t been to Ground Pounder in quite awhile with all the BRR training, so YHC decided to jump in there and get some! 4 PAX learned that the rocks will give consent for rock spanks, but only for so long! It just gets too freaky and painful!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: SSH, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazio’s, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Squats x15, Shoulder Taps x15 IC.
The Workout: Over to the rocks, selecting a rock that was challenging but could be travelled with. We Cusacked the rocks over to the disc golf stairs and did a reverse pyramid of exercises starting with 13. The exercises at the bottom of the hill/stairs was Merkins, at the top was Ground Pounders. We began with 13 merkins at the bottom, 12 Ground Pounder’s at the top…and so on. Farva had mentioned we hadn’t been to this hill in awhile, so YHC was glad we took the trip!

Next up, we Cusacked the rocks over to the bleachers by the ball fields and spoke of various birth control methods…wait…what?

At the bleachers, we repeated the same 13 ct. descending pyramid with 13 Rut-Rows to begin, with Bleacher Merkins as well.

Staying in that area, we finished 13 Dips, and 30 ct. Rock Spanks IC. We also completed 15 Dirkins and 30 rock Shoulder Press.
