Brick by Brick

PAX: , , ,

I brought some little friends to the party, some leftover brick edgestones from a garden remodel. They made excellent sidekicks for a four corners stack. When I said the grey ones were heavier, all MEN stepped up and picked the harder option.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Short lap, Willie Mays Haze, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, SSH
The Workout: Took laps to the four corners of the parking lot. Stacking exercises as we went travelled from station to station (1/1,2/1,2,3/1,2,3,4). All exercises were 10 reps in cadence or straight up depending on exercise. 1) Merkins, Newton’s Cradle, Wonderbra, Man-maker 2) Squats, Bucket Brigade Lunge, One Leg Deadlift, Pulse Squats 3) Curls for the Girls, Overhead Triceps, Overhead Press, Bus Drivers 4) LBCs, WW2, Windshield Wipers, American Hammers. We had time for one express lap of round 1 without stacking.

Turf War Averted

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , ,

PAX:  The usual suspects – Norm (EC), Gamecock (EC), Kitty Litter, Finkle, Martini (EC)

For a cold and wet moring, YHC had a shelter workout planned.  Upon returning from EC, the lot was full of cars.  Unfortunatley this was due to the group of ladies that has started workign out at Falcon Park on Tuesday mornings.  As it was raining, they had congreagated and began their workout under the shelter.  Immediately upon returning from EC, the mumble chatter started about this being F3’s turf, however no PAX was brave enougth to try and run them off.  This was probably a good thing.  Getting our tails kicked by a bunch of women would not help future EH efforts.  (Norm did mention something about showing up early the next time it is raining to reserve the shelter)

Warm Up:  YHC had to adjust on the fly.  We left our beloved Falcon Park and headed over to the middle school.  SSH, Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Daisy Pickers, Frankensteins

The Workout:  Nest Man Up under the shelter of the bus lane.

PAX 1 took off for a lap around the bus loop.  The Next Man Up called an exercise for the remaing PAX to perform.  When PAX 1 returned, PAX 2 took off for a lap.  Next Man Up called an exercise. Continued until all PAX took a lap.

Completed 4 rounds.

Indian Run back to the back to Falcon Park with a loop around the track and lot.

Mary:  Handled during the workout, but we did complete some stretching

Announcements:  None

Prayer:  Finkle has family dealing with COVID

PAX: , , , ,

FNGs: none
Warm Up: Quick mosey around the parking lot.  Came back and did Sir Fazio arm circles for/backward, good mornings, various leg stretches, followed by SSH
The Workout:

We took about a 1 mile to 1.5 mile run to get moving and at two stops we did a round of lbc’s and then a round of hill billies.

Next event we did some rock work to get some upper body in this morning.  After our brave PAX picked out their fine specimen we did a round of 20 skull crushers, a set of 15 colt 45s, rock merkins 20 each arm, bus drivers set of 20, and ended with 20 rut rows.  We did repeat but dropped down to doing sets of 15 to stay sane.

Last we came back to circle up and do a quick set of 20 squats and 20 Bonnie Blairs to lead us into Mary.
Mary: We completed a circuit of ab exercises going round the circle and each Pax chose their favorite.
