Peace & Tranquility @ Crazy Ivan

Warm Up:  PAX of 5 took a detour from the standard kettle bell workout at Crazy Ivan, opting for a Wrightsville Beach friendly yoga/stretch workout.  Fresh off of three yoga classes (taught by one of the PAX M), Dauber got everyone warmed up with 22 SSH (shout out to Breach), 10 Good AM, 10 Vegetation Grabbers all in Cadence.

The Workout:  The workout began in the amphitheater in balmy 42 degree conditions (a heat wave mind you).  Only the Q brought his yoga mat and block.  But no worries, these hardcore PAX were ready to get down to business as they settled in to a peaceful zen-like atmosphere, letting go of all their burdens from their bodies as they prepared for yoga.  The PAX settled into the following poses/stretches:  mountain pose,  standing crescent, intense side stretch pose/extension, Warrior I, Warrior II, Half-standing forward bend, standing forward bend,  wide legged forward bend, half feet out, seated forward bend, child’s pose, bound angle pose, equilibrium bound angle 1, wide angled seated bend, upward facing dog, downward dog, alternating three legged table , cobra pose, plank pose, merkins, one legged extended pose to elbow,  PAX called out additional stretches that included a wall stretch, Achilles stretch and a groin stretch.  The sounds of birds chirping and water ebbing from a nearby fountain helped the PAX reach Nirvana.

Mary:  More stretches combined with LBCs and box cutters.

Announcements: WB, The Mule, AOs still happening this weekend

Prayer:  PAX with injuries; Shredder surgery, Loss of a child; family relationships…discussed legacy

Thank you men for allowing me the privilege to lead you in the gloom.

Welcome FNG (or as he said, PNG) Fancy Feast.  Another Woodcreeker in the mix – we might need multiple clown cars one of these morning.  We are glad to welcome you!

Warm Up: Jogged around the starting lot and circled up on the other side of the half pipe.  SSH, Fazio Arm Circles, Moroccan Night Clubs, Good Mornings.  Jogged over to next lot for SSH and arm stretches.  YHC was so tired from a really long day and late night that one count somehow only went to 9, but we kept moving.
The Workout:  On the jog to the big lot where we lined up and set a target about halfway across the lot.  On my go, sprint to the other side.  Drop to plank hold for the 6, then merkins x10 on my down, followed by a set of LBCs then  everyone’s favorite, turned over for back planks.  On my go, up and sprint back to start, plank for 6, merkins x8, back plank and repeat.  Went down to 4 and back up to 10.  8 sprints.  Recover on the jog back to start lot, lined up bottom of hill.  Bear crawl up, plank hold for the 6, then merkins x10 and crawl bear back down.  8 merkins at bottom, back up for 6.  You get the point. “Broken” Jack Webs on a 1:3 up to 10:30 merkins:air press. Sprints between sets for 6 more sprints.  Jog to midfield and back to slow things down then circled up for Mary.
