There were a couple of noteworthy things at this morning’s beatdown: Bubba’s victorious return after a lengthy F3 hiatus, Moby’s first completed workout since suffering an ankle injury, and Maverick’s remarkably prompt arrival at the Gipper! T-claps to all these men for stepping it up.
So… after a month of running stagnation, YHC was finally in a running mood this morning. Most of the thang today therefore involved… you guessed it, running.
Warm-up: Good Mornings, Toe Touches, Windmills, 15x IC. SSHs, Seal Jacks, and High Knees, 25x IC.
The Thang: First, off to the Taj for a new partner routine: PAX performs flutter kicks while two men run the perimeter of the Taj in opposite directions. Once they meet on the other side, they knock out 5 burpees and then return along the same path. Next pair up, and so on, until the entire PAX has completed the run. Followed up with the same drill but mountain climbers replaced flutter kicks, and lastly, jump squats.
Mosey to the grass in front of the parking garage for a quick set of Catalina Wine Mixers, 15x IC (at an odd 6-count that miraculously went over smoothly). The name may be hoity toity, but the exercise itself is straight grunt work. Then up to the 2nd floor to start another partner drill: P1 begins lunge walking up the ramp, while P2 runs past him to do a loop – up, around, and back down the stairs to catch P1 and switcheroo. Then bear crawls, then broad jumps.
Lastly, before returning to the flag: burpee suicides. Sprint to mid-parking lot and back, 5 burpees. Full length and back, 5 burpees. This one was inspired by Grundy’s looooong PFT sprint, which I think I can safely say kicked everyone’s ass last Saturday (except Turbo, of course).
Back safely at the flag, there was just enough time to do Jane Fonda’s, 20x IC each leg.
Countdown, nameorama, and Moby prayed us out. As always, thank you men for the opportunity to lead and get stronger with you.
