Four Square Four Times

Pre-Thang

YHC’s first Saturday backblast and first Saturday Q lumped into one.  Anxiety set in while drafting the blackblast in anticipation of the additional 15 minutes tacked onto the Saturday backblasts.  As the PAX rolled in, it was a pleasure to meet a new set of men that don’t frequent the weekday sessions.

Warm-Up

Mosey across the Great Lawn past Storyland and under the Oaks:

• COP IC: SSH x 30, Plank Walks x 20, Imperial Walkers x 20, Low Country Crab x 15

The Thang

Mosey over to a corner of the Great Lawn for OYO interval laps around the lawn.  Sprint short length; 10 Merikans at corner; jog long length; 12 sit-sps at corner; sprint short length; 10 Merikans at corner; jog long length; 12 sit-ups at corner.  Rinse and repeat x 4.  Plank up at the end.

Mosey over to front of museum for some R&R with Mary:

• COP IC: LBCs x40, Hello Dolly x 20, Russian Twists x 15, LBTs x 20

Mosey over to the Foundry.  Everyone plank up in single file.  Front of the line does 10 dips followed by 2 pull ups to monkey bars with 2 more pull ups at the end.  Then bear crawl back to end of line and hold plank.  As each front of the line person moves into dip position, do 1 Merikan before moving forward.  Rinse and repeat x 3.

Mosey back to the Great Lawn for IC Monkey Humps x 12, Low Slow Squat x 15, Monkey Humps x 10, Plank-O-Rama.  Head back to flag.

Name-O-Rama: 12 showed up this fine morning.  It wasn’t to humid either with a nice breeze occasionally.  The Foundry really set the PAX over.  Men were dropping for water breaks like flies and modifying pull ups.  But even RY’s Diddy pushed through the struggle and put up a fight.  TCLAPS & Respect!!!

Shout Out: Prayers for Amnesty’s Dad battling prostate cancer.  Prayers for Bubba’s newborn of 2 months (glad to have you back after becoming a father!).

YHC had a little help from his wife on his words of wisdom for today’s workout.  So shout out to her first on the inspiration.  It’s getting to be that time in New Orleans where the humidity and heat really take it out of you.  However, the summer is also a time where we really get to embrace the embodiment of this city.  No one’s here for the weather.  It’s something else.  With that said YHC would like to express gratitude where we all are in our lives and that F3 brings something out of each us to embrace this heat.
