It’s a dangerous place we live in. Nothing his safe – not shovel flags, not 50 lb bags of play sand.
YHC arrived to find a full parking lot. Triple Shift and Duct Tape both arrived with FNGs in tow. HVAC came in hot and in need of a restroom. We pointed him toward the port-a-potty on the far side of the park and told him we would see him after the warm-up. I gave the disclaimer and being the Uptowner we were off on a ten foot mosey for the COP.
The Thang
Warm-up (all IC): SSH x 30, Imperial Walkers x 25, Windmills x 20; Arm circles – Forward x 15, Backward x 17 (YHC was distracted), 8-count body builders x 12? – I’m not sure. The Pax was not counting and I couldn’t keep it straight, so we went until I was tired.
We headed over to retrieve some sandbags for the next COP and instead of 6, we only found 4. Luckily 4 was the perfect amount, but I am not sure where the other two have gone. Hopefully whoever took them got as much use out of them as we got out of the 4 they left.
Dora 1-1-1 – We partnered up. Pax #1 bear crawls out and back (50-60 yards in total) while Pax #2 does the prescribed exercise with the 50 lb. sandbag. Set is over when the team reaches 100 reps in total.
- Set 1 = Rows
- Set 2 = Shoulder lifts (move sandbag from one shoulder to the next)
- Set 3 = Squats (hug the sandbag like Al Gore would a tree).
We finished the day with some Mary interspersed with 8-count body builders, all IC: 8-count BB x 10, LBC x 30, 8-count BB x 10, Dying Cockroach x 25, 8-count BB x 8, Putins x 20
Grab a sandbag and return it to the not so good hiding spot.
COT included an lengthy Amnesty style announcement session complete with F3 mission statement, historical significance, AO list and reviews, etc. We named the FNGs and closed it out with a prayer for those in the Smokeys, Baton Rouge, and the sick.
Moleskin
- T-claps to Triple Shift as he continues to infuse our workouts with new blood.
- T-claps to Duct Tape for his consistency (due in no small part to the bounty of information Amnesty provided him with). Today he brought his 2.0, the first 2.0 we have had in a long time.
- Strong showing by the FNGs. I had thought figured the Dora with the sandbags would be tough, but the FNGs had no problems with it. If only we had more sandbags to make it harder.
Thanks,
Hawg
