Sheepdog 6/18/21 – Strike Fest

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

No FNGs but a couple Pax new to Sheepdog. Welcome Woody and Sunshine to the AO that packs a punch! 

EC: Norm, Bobby Boucher, Shredder

Warm Up: several F3 traditional favorites with Side straddle top, sir Fazio arm circles, seal clamps, overhead clamps, imperial walkers, hillbillies, Single leg deadlifts to work on balance and stability, and Frankenstein.

The Workout: today’s workout was brought to you by four corners and a whole lotta striking 🤛🏼.   Pax started with 25 Wing Chun strikes, ran to the next corner of the parking lot, 1 Merkin (at which point I think Woddy said, “only one!?!”), next corner 1 squat to front kick in cadence (so, both sides), next corner 1 star jump, then back to the beginning. So far, not that bad. We then bumped up to 35 strikes and ran to the next corner for 2 merkins, 2 squat kicks, 2 star jumps, etc. Each loop around we added a set and increased the strikes; 75, 100, 125, 150. About 1/2 way through we swapped strikes for wedging but still cranked out high reps. A couple pauses to focus on technique details. I’m assuming Pax will be feeling this workout at about 3:00 today.

Mary: 50 LBCs in cadence

Announcements: Norm is moving.  He will be missed!

T-Claps (Recognition): Bobby Boucher rocking it on a long EC climb. Warbucks collection.

Prayer: Beer pressure’s sister trying to get into grad-school.

Way to go men. Honored to lead!

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

19 PAX, including 10 who are in hot pursuit of the coveted fritter, posted at Possum Trot for a beatdown delivered by the Fritter Foundation.

Fritter Quitters: None

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Lap around the tennis courts; circled up for SSH, IW, HB, Fazio arm circles, good mornings; I had to throw in some burpees to calm the mumble chatter

The Workout: PAX moseyed to the tennis court and lined up on one end. PAX were instructed to travel the width of the 4 tennis courts by broad jump, 5 star jumps, broad jump, 5 prisoner squats, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and squat-hold for the 6.  PAX then traveled back to the start across the 4 courts with the Obama (named after the 44th president) 4 steps in bear crawl followed by 4 merkins, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and plank-hold for the 6.  PAX loved these so much, we decided to do it again but had to limit each to the halfway mark to save on time.  Once complete, PAX traveled to the concession stand via Indian run for more fun.  Half the pax held BTTW, while the other pax did an exercise, then switch.  (exercises were 1:step ups x10 each leg, 2:bulgarian squats x5 each leg, 3:Erkins-Derkins-Dips x5 each).  Half the pax then held People’s chair while the other half did exercises, then switch. (exercises were 1:American Hammer, 2:Mountain Climbers).  PAX then indian ran back to the courts for Mary.

Mary: Plank-O-Rama until time

Announcements: Picnic- check slack
