The Nessssssssst 3.21.23

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

EC: @Finkle, @U.T.I., @Lipstick

PAX: @Sprinkler, @Finkle, @U.T.I., @Lipstick, @Pumps, @Double D

Warm-up: Quick Mosey around the park sidewalk and came back for some Good Mornings, Mountain Climbers, Hillbillies, Downward Dog, and Sir Fazio’s.

Event 1: Navy Seals – tried a new event that YHC has been dreaming up in my spare time.  This was a 20 count seal clap, 20 count overhead clap, 10 merkins, and 30 second plank hold at one end of the parking lot.  Then mosey to the other end John Cusack style and R/R.  We did 4 rounds and it was exciting.  It would be good to switch out merkins with Balls to the Wall or another arm exercise.

Event 2: @Pumps complained that his legs were cold and like yah, it’s 29 degrees outside and you’re wearing shorts bro…  So we did 11’s.  Squats at one end and lunges at the other.

Event 3: @Sprinkler asked a wonderful question of when does the workout begin so I decided to go for the trifecta and we did typewriters down the block wall.  That’s another @Finkle specialty with 10 dips and flip over to do 10 Irkins and repeat all the way down the wall.

Mary: @Pumps again was begging for the sneak peak.  Another signature @Finkle move which is a wide up and out step in place giving those around a sneak peak of the “package.”  And to end this perfect workout with perfect weather on a perfect morning we had to pair the sneak peak with some Meat Gazers.  @Lipstick was especially fond of this one…for some unknown reason.

Prayer Requests: @U.T.I.’s m-in-law needing a kidney transplant, @Gamecock is sick.

PAX: , , , , , , ,

YHC returned from a minor medical procedure to continue the 75 Hard journey and take the lead at Thunder. I haven’t been to this AO in awhile, so I was stoked to lead these guys. A ridiculously humid night, nobody left dry. The group chalked up over a mile and stopped more times than I can count.

FNG’s: no…but a cool cat visitor from F3 Concord…Yellowcake!
Warm Up: Good Mornings
The Workout: We took the Stinson/Grigsby sidewalk loop the whole way around to the back of Womble. It was roughly a mile and we stopped at every pole (either power or sign) for a series of exercises focused on Legs, Core, or Upper body. At each stop we either did 10 reps or 15 reps. We began each series with burpees. At each stop, we increased burpees from 1-5, then 5-1, then 1-5, then 5-1, giving us 50 burpees total by nights end. Exercises for the night included: Squats, Star Jumps, Donkey Kicks IC, Alternate Lunges IC, Fire Hydrants, Money Humpers IC, Merkins, Diamond Merkins, Curb Dips, Hand-Release Merkins, Nipplers IC, Annies IC, Shoulder Taps IC, Pickle Pounders IC, WW2’s, Freddie Mercury IC, Taps IC, Dying Cockroach, LBC’s IC, Homer to Marge IC.
