My experiment with VQ schedules didn’t take. With Bubba – a no show – I had the full Q to myself. Lucky for me – I had a weinke in my back pocket. In Bubba’s defense I just put him on the group schedule instead of checking in with him to make sure he was ready – oh and he has a new baby! (Side Effect’s baby is only 3 days old and he was present so the excuse only kind of works).
So anyway – lesson learned.
A very hot and humid NOLA August workout. The Peristyle is under some serious construction for the next few weeks. The shovel flag will be nearby on the edge of the construction.
Now down to business.
Warm up: SSH, Imp Walkers, Squats, Mountain Climbers, and Monkey Humps x 25
We had a LONG mosey to our 2nd COP. Hawgcycle and Side Effects were trying to guess where we were heading the whole mosey. Mosey’d to the Christian Bros football field. At the Field we did- 5 RDS with Tyson or as Side Effects said maybe Rousey is a little more current and it has alliteration. Nerd.
Anyway Round 1 – LBC, Rd 2 – Lunges, Rd 3 – LBC Twist, Rd 4 Slow Squat Hold for a full second, and Rd 5 Peter Parkers. **Run to the 50 yd line do 25, opposite goal line 25, 50 yd line 25 and then the original goal line 25. All totals after 5 rounds is 1000 yds of running, 500 leg/ab exercises. Good job men.
In the middle of Squats of the 4th Rd – Bagasse started to worry that his arms/chest weren’t getting worked at all. So…
We did 5 burpees at 50, 10 merks at goal line, 4 burps at the 40, 10 merks at the goal line, 3 burps at the 30, 10 merks at the goal line, 2 burps at the 20, 10 merks at the goal line, 1 burp at the 10, 10 merks at the goal line — this is a modified burpee suicide – I guess? For a total of 50 merks, and 15 burps.
I wanted to run us through some Dirty MacDeuce but time was a factor. So we mosey’d past a water fountain and hit the blue collar gym. Every guy in the PAX had to get 10 pull ups on your own. Or negatives – if you couldn’t get your 10. Plank and wait. After the 6 joined the plank line – we did 1 arm/ 1 leg planks each set 30 sec. and 10 donkey kicks.
Then we mosey’d to the Quad at Storyland for 6 min of Mary
Superman to Bow x 10, Dying Cockroach x 25, Flutters x 25, Hello Dolly x 25, 10 Hip Dips each hip OYO, Parker Peters x 25, Plank Jack x 25, Plank Walk x 25 — Everything was In Cadence except the Hip Dips.
Run to the flag!
COT: Positive thoughts and congratulations to Side Effects and his wife who have a new baby this week. I forgot to get the name but I do know the baby was 10 lbs 2 oz at birth and asked for a bowl of red beans and rice with sausage 15 min later.
We prayed for all of the kids and teachers starting school this week – that they can get into their routine quickly – make new friends and be intellectually curious.
Good job men!
