“Sweat is just fat crying” -DaParish
Five brave souls converged on the northwest corner of Pontiff this am for another no-run workout with hopes of seeing plenty “tears of fat” aka sweat. YHC’s mission today was to try a few new things while digging deep to push the PAX through a respectable beatdown. Everyone trickled in right at kickoff, including SOGO who’s been on a hiatus due to work schedule…t-claps for posting and welcome back. After the disclaimer, we circled up for a twist on some regular warmup exercises:
Warm-up (All IC):
Windmills x10
Arm Circle Progression – Forwardx10, Reversex10, Chinook(overhead)x10
Squat Progression – LS Squatx10, Squat Kickx10, Squat Jumpx10
Plank Position – Shoulder Tapsx10, Plank Rollx10, Plank Jacksx10
Burpees x10
Grab a medium rock and back to the circle for 4 rounds of Curls and Rows w/ a few Squats all IC:
Curls x25, x20, x20, x15
Rows x25, x20, x20, x15
LS Squats x25
Re-position 50yds away and line up for some quality time with Boss Keen:
Boss Keen’s Rockpile – 2 rounds (back and forth) standing up, 1 (or2?) round sitting down (RT position)
Line up in outfield where YHC introduced the PAX to something he found on the F3 website.
Bearpees (Mix of Burpees and Bearcrawl): Start w/1 Burpee followed by a 4ct Bearcrawl, increasing the Burpee count by 1 and keeping ratio at 1:4 across the field. When we hit 6 at the far side of the field, we broke for a few quick inspirational quotes (see below) and then worked our way back with rounds 7-10….lots of sweating, grunting, and panting on this one.
Once done, there was mention of Drew Brees and the number 9 but the PAX wasn’t falling for that so after grabbing the rocks it was back to the circle with just enough time for:
Curls IC x10, rotate rock to left, Curls IC x10, rotate…5 rounds total. The trading of the rocks was a random call due to various mumble chatter about rock size and also due to the fact that YHC’s rock split in half by the chain gang….plus YHC felt like a chump with his half rock and wanted to insure consistency for the entire PAX.
COT started off with a recap of some of motivational workout quotes we kicked around throughout the beatdown:
“You have to push past your perceived limits, push past the point you thought was as far as you can go.” -Drew Bress
“Better sore than sorry” -Anonymous
“Weakness is pain leaving the body” -Amnesty
YHC mentioned how the PAX pushes himself and others to do more than they would typically do on their own. T-claps to all of the Q’s for keeping the workouts interesting and worthwhile. COT ended with shout outs for those in need and gave thanks to the sky Q.
Moleskin: Mumble chatter today attempted to determine if “rows for the hoes” (the cousin to “curls for the girls”) actually excites any women but the conclusion only rendered something about a tramp stamp. I guess that remains to be determined.
Till next time,
Tool
