What would you say to your brother, who was 2 weeks out from shoulder surgery, when you pull up to an AO and see him standing there in standard maroon hoodie winter-wear and padded compound sling? If you were our own resident physical therapist Chewy, you would say, “YOU’RE AN IDIOT!” (though not in so many words. It was more like, “What are you doing here?!” and, “I don’t agree with this” and, “If I have Q next week and you show up I’m not leading.”) So why was YHC posting to a bootcamp AO with stitches, sutures, and a bum wing? Why was QIC leading a leg/core beatdown when he should be in bed convalescing? It’s because F3 is my medicine, and with great risk comes great reward! (and modifying is easiest when you control the exercises) And today the reward was an ample serving of lunge walking and ab ripping.
WARMORAMA
x10 IC:
SSH, Slow Squats, Torso Twists, Good Mornings, Self Love
THANG
Entering the trace near the stairs, the PAX lung walked aaaaall the way to the bus depot.
IC x5,10 or 12:
Step Ups, In N Outs, Bulgarian Split Squats, Leg R
Mosied to the tunnel and partnered up. P1 ran down the ramp, lunge walked across the tunnel and up the opposite ramp, before doing the same in reverse order. P2 did a prearranged core exercise. For each round both partners did the exercise.
Hello Dollys, and LBCs,
On account of timeliness, the PAX cut short of the last exercise and returned to the hypothetical flag for Mary.
MARY
x25 IC: Little Manny Crunches, Gas Pumps, Flutter Kicks and 1 minute Plank
COT
Count/Name, and with special intentions for Bushwacker’s addled brain, Chewy prayed us out.
In the end, the risk was well worth it, though I have no intentions of repeating such foolishness in the near future. I went to my othopedist, got my stitches removed, and was told the “real fun” was about to begin. Bring it on!
