Workout:

We moseyed to the front of the school.  YHC counted 20 poles holding up the awning.  I came up with a routine a few years back that I call a crab boil.  We started at the first pole and crab walked 5 poles.  At the 5th pole we did 10 crab cakes in cadence.  Then we crab walked another 5 poles and did 10 crab humpers.  Another 5 poles were crab walked where we then did 10 crab jacks.  We crab walked the next 5 poles and were done.

After that we did something I call a typewriter.  We all got on a length of curb and held plank on the curb.  We did one irkin and then the last person in the line moved in some fashion (bear crawl, duck walk, etc.) to the other side of the line.  Once there we did another irkin and the next person went.  We did this all the way to the end where then, like a typewriter, we had to go back.  We mixed it up on the way back though and did fast feet on the curb while one PAX moved and did 5 calf raises when they got to their spot.

After this YHC called for crab boil leftovers.  It was the same as before just not as much. We only used 10 poles and stopped every two.

After that we moved to a patch of grass for the sake of our knees and got to work on a set of Jack Webb with a 4:1 ratio of air presses to merkins.  This was a bad idea.  Woody and I both got mad at Nemo while we watched him never take a break during the course of the 220 air presses we did.

I had more planned but time was running short so we went in to…

Mary:

We started with an LBC circuit.  10x IC each of regular LBC, reverse LBC, and oblique LBC on each side.

Sleeping Hillbilies x10 IC

American Hammers x10 IC

Pickle Pounders x10 IC

Monkey Humperx x10 IC (I couldn’t remember the name pickle pounder and kept wanting to say monkey humper so we did monkey humpers)

 

An honor to lead these men this morning.  I can’t get anything off a shelf in the cupboard today but that’s ok.
