Also known as “Waiting for Amnesty” (for 6 years now).
6 years ago, I got dragged out to Rock City by Heisenberg and Bogey. On that fateful day, Amnesty was supposed to be Q – and before I understood what “Lexicon” even meant, I started learning about the “Fartsack”. Since then, it has become an annual event to replay that first workout:
And today, 6 PAX joined YHC for “Looking for Amnesty, Part 6”.
Disclaimer – YHC botched it again. “Dont push yourself, …. ” Rogaurou took that advice to heart, making sure to find an even smaller rock than normal. Hand Grenada used that as a reason to continue his never ending stream of Irish-envy smack talk. Oh, how YHC hopes that the Rebs face the Irish one day soon…
Off to the railroad tracks first. Just a quick few minutes trying to squat and hold balance. YHC has made teeny barely discernable improvements. And so will continue using the rails even while Boo Boo seemed scared of the approaching train.
The Thang: Quick warmup of an assortment of exercises. Then grab a rock and head to the “Flag Football field” (so it was called 6 years ago, and apparently never so referred to again since).
Lieutenant Dan’s. Thanks to War Eagle for reminding me how this exercise works. 1 Lunge, 2 Squat. 2 Lunge, 4 Squat. Keep increasing by 1 Lunge/2 Squat until the fence is reached. YHC was last to the fence after getting up to 11 lunges. Scantron’s seemed to stride the entire length in about 5 steps.
At the other end, some Mary while 2 PAX at a time ran off to get in some pull ups. LBCs, Flutters, Wife Pleasers, Cockroaches.
Then time to head back down the field with Lt. Dan again. Most PAX started with 1/2, 2/4, etc.. Mahatma showed up the group by picking up where he left off. 12/24, 13/26, …
At other end, knock out some lifts and calf raises, then rifle carry the rocks back to home and mosey back to the flag.
COT: count off, name-o-rama, announcements. Intentions. Thanks for another great year, gentlement! See you next year for more Lt Dans.
