YHC texted via Mumblechatter at 0510 to avoid coming to el Diablo via Metairie Road due to a train being STOPPED and to come in via Airline.
Meanwhile two Pax decided to add an adventure to their pre-workout ventures by crawling UNDER the damn Ol Train like they were in a Hank Williams song.
At 0530 YHC tried to get a disclaimer in between repeated interruptions by some unnamed “two ply” and then held a VERY Brief warm-o-rama with Abe Vigodas and Grass grabbers before lining the Pax up for an exercise to complete the warm up… The exercise would be called “go under the train” based on the stories of War Eagle and Hand Grenada’s journey in this AM… we lined up on the goal line and inch wormed out towards the 50, did 5 merkins, stood up and rinse and repeated about a dozen times (some would say 60 merkins warmed up our shoulders)
we then moseyed to the track, around the 50 yard line to start our adventures. Imagine six points on the track
1. 50 yard line
2. Goal line
3. Around the end zone to the goal line across field from #2
4. the 50 yard line across field from #1
5. The next goal line
6. around end zone to goal line across field from #5 and 100 yards away from #1 😉
The THANG
at each of the 6 points we would do 10 reps of exercise called out by the Q then another exercise while waiting on the six.
We would then rotate through a series of “MODES of transportation” between points as follows
1-2 above ~ Mosey
2-3 above ~ Sprint
3-4 above backwards mosey as fast as possible
4-5 above Lunge walk
5-6 above backwards Lunge
6-1 Sprint
Round 1 ~ At each of the six points we would do 10 Burpees and then Imerial Walkers while waiting on the six
Round 2 ~ 10 Merkins and SSH while waiting on the six
Round 3 ~ 10 sit ups with arms crossed and squats while waiting on the six
Between 0601 and 0605, we stopped and did 4 minutes of calf raises with both legs, then just right leg, then just left leg, then both legs.
YHC was pleased later in the day to see Hawg’s post in mumble chatter stating this type of format lead to an elevated heart rate for a good portion of our morning.
