Looking for ideas, YHC was stunned to realize that April 30th was the 60th birthday of the original Bad Boy: Isaiah Thomas of the Detroit Pistons. This definitely made me feel old. How can he be 60 already? Surely I cannot really be that old? But alas, things are what they are. But to remember the 60 year old “Bad Boys”, YHC decided on a 6-6-6 workout.
5:30: Disclaimer, then mosey to the rock pile to find a friend. YHC has been dealing with hip pain, so this was going to very very heavy on upper body. Choose wisely. Head to the field.
Warm Up: SSH, Plank-o-rama, some stretching.
The Thang: 6 Exercises. 6 Sets. 6 Reps. Starting at Tree 0 – Rifle carry your rock to Tree 1 for the first set. Then on to Tree 2. Tree 3. Back to Tree 2. Tree 1. Finish up at Tree 0 with your 6th set. Plank. No really, none of this lolly-gagging and catching your breath when you finish. Plank. Active recovery. There will be time for real recovery when the 6 arrives.
The exercises. All are Compound Movements (Thinking of you Milkman…)
* Rock Burpees.
* Curls: Up, Down, Straight arm Up, Down
* Bench Press: lie down. Over your head. Straight up, down to chest, back up, back to overhead.
* Elf on a Shelf
* Row to Deadlift
* Big Boy Situps
That took much longer than anticipated, so we had time to return the rocks (rifle carry back to the pit) and head back to the flag.
Thank you all for the opportunity to lead. Thanks to Boo Boo for the reminder the night before that I had the Q! And Happy Birthday to Bad Boy Thomas (# 11), as well as Happy Birthday to the great state of Louisiana.
