Eight veteran Northshore PAX, a visitor from F3 Louisville, and an FNG from Monroe, NC descended on The Gipper in the Gloom this morning for a pre-Thanksgiving beatdown. After a quick warmup consisting of SSHs, mountain climbers, seal jacks, merkins, imperial walkers, plank jacks, and butt kicks, all 10x IC, we headed to the Justice Center for
B-L-I-M-P-S since we’ll all look like one tomorrow.
The PAX partnered up and together knocked out 50 burpees, 50 lunges, 50 imperial walkers, 50 merkins, 50 plank jacks, and 50 squats with partner 1 exercising while partner 2 ran up the Justice Center stairs and down the “NO SKATEBOARDING” ramp to relieve partner 1.
Short recovery walk to Oak Alley where we alternated sprinting and jogging at each live oak tree. That effort turned into a mosey back to The Gipper trailhead and the undisclosed secret location housing our cinderblocks.
Each man checked out a cinderblock from storage and got together again with his partner. The PAX knocked out 10 reps each of thrusters, swings, manmakers, merkins, around the worlds each direction, figure 8s, goblet squats and RDLs. Between exercises, one partner backpedaled while the other farmer carried two cinderblocks 25 yards. We held our blocks overhead while waiting for the 6.
After returning our cinderblocks to storage, the PAX moved to the bandstand area and with the three and a half minutes left hit as many rounds as possible of bear crawls down the hill, jump or step up onto the bandstand, jump or run down the ramp or stairs, and raccoon crawl up the narrow concrete ledge back to the starting point.
Countorama, nameorama, and a nice prayer from The Hammer to wrap things up.
Welcome FNG Rogan!
Thanks for joining us this morning Leprechan!
Happy Thanksgiving guys!
