Day 1 2015 Throwback Week – Mutiny

YHC has the privilege of leading the four original AO’s that were offered in 2015 when I first started this week. It will be a build up to my 10 year anniversary on Friday. We start out with Mutiny. YHC has completed maybe a hundred or more workouts at this AO throughout the years. Today we remembered one of my first posts here that was delivered by Brett Michaels…”The Michigan”. It was super tough back then and still can be today depending on how much you push yourself. Anyway, here is the workout we did.

Warm Ups
Mosey from upper circle down and around circle drive and back up.
– Good Mornings
– SSH
– Michael Phelps
– Frankensteins
– Plank Jacks

Clock Merkins – Rotating to each hour while in a plank position and performed the number of merkins for each hour. Ex. 3 merkins for 3 o’clock. When completed, it was 78 total merkins.

PAX moseyed up to the upper field for “The Michigan”
Ten 100 yd dashes – 2 M&H
Eight 80 yd dashes – 4 M&H
Six 60 yd dashes – 6 M&H
Four 40 yd dashes – 8 M&H
Two 20 yd dashes – 10 M&H
M&H = Merkins and 2X Hallelujahs
We built our speed over the progression of the dashes.

Next, we moseyed down to the parking spaces for Build-A-Bears.
Start at the end of the parking line, do a burpee, bear crawl the line to the curb, do a merkin on the curb, slide plank across the curb to the next line, do another merkin, crawl bear back down the line and perform another burpee. We did this 5 times total.

We then went to the tennis courts.
Balls to the Fence shoulder taps x10 IC then into Hallelujah wall sits x10 IC for 3 rds.
