Pre-Thang
After the Week 2 – Iron 34Pax Challenge less than one week ago at the Birdcage, YHC was supposed to hide those cinder blocks with the help of the PAX. However, Hawgcycle decided to use them for the same challenge at the Uptowner on Friday. Therefore, the PAX loaded them back on Mahatma’s truck and off they went. YHC needed to find a way to bring those blocks back to Audubon Park. Doing that during the day would be too suspicious. Therefore, YHC had to incorporate another workout with the blocks so that the PAX could hide them after a morning beat down. YHC needs to find a new home for those blocks soon. They can’t be living in Mahatma’s truck forever. Why not Skinny? Because the Skinny usually involves more running around the park with exercises in between at some workout stations, YHC wanted to incorporate a cinder block workout focusing more on the legs, core, and cardio. So Skinny… 28 PAX met up on a wet Monday morning. At 5:30, YHC gave his standard disclaimer and off the PAX.
Warm-ups
Moseyed around the parking lot in front of the Audubon Clubhouse and back to the field next to the F3 flags and did the following in cadence:
SSH x 20
Windmills x 10
Forward Arm Circles x 10
Backward Arm Circles x 10
Hill Billies x 20
Plank Jacks x 20
Overhand Claps x 10
Da Block is Hot
Grabbed the hot blocks off Mahatma’s truck and moseyed to the Band Stand. Circled up and did the following exercises in cadence:
Chest Presses x 20
Leg Raises with Block in arms extended Chest Press position x 10
Slow Goblet Squats with Block x 10
Walking to the first light post at the Oak Alley, YHC gave instructions on a modified BLIMPS workout with the blocks. The PAX was holding on to his block while he was running between the light posts for the entire BLIMPS. OYO – At the first light post, 5 Burpees with a thruster over the head (5 man makers). Ran to the 2nd light post and performed 10 Lunges on each leg while holding onto the block. Ran to the 3rd post and properly executed 15 Imperial Walkers on each leg while holding onto the block. Moseyed to the 4th post – 20 Merkins. To the 5th post…. 25 Chest Presses with the block. To the last light post… 30 Squats while holding onto the block.
Da Block is Hot..Hot
Before YHC could give instructions for the next exercise, Reluctant Yankee had decided to modify his workout by “accidentally” dropping his block and breaking it in half. That’s one way to modify…. The PAX reused the Oak Alley for the following exercises OYO. The PAX left his block by the first light post then…
1 – Ran to the 2nd light post and back and performed 30 Block Jump Overs, Ran to the 3rd post and back to the 1st post…. 20 Block Jump Overs, Ran to the 4th post and back to the 1st post… 10 Block Jump Overs
2 – Ran to the 2nd light post and back and performed 30 Squats with the block, Ran to the 3rd post and back to the 1st post… 20 Squats with the block, Ran to the 4th post and back to the first post… 10 Squats with the block
3 – Ran to the 2nd light post and back… 30 Leg Raises with block in arms extended chest press position. Ran to the 3rd post and back to the 1st post… 20 Leg Raises in the same position. Ran to the 4th post and back to the 1st post… 10 Leg Raises in the same position.
Da Block is Hot….Hot..Hot
Time to hide those cinder blocks, but YHC couldn’t make it that easy. YHC had asked Mahatma to Q the group in 2 lines and led the group by shouting “overhead, right shoulder (not resting on the shoulder), left shoulder” as the group dodging cars on Magazine Street toward the fountain. YHC could only imagine what the drivers were thinking witnessing 28 guys with cinder blocks over their heads at 6:12 a.m. crossing Magazine Street. Not weird at all. Very shortly, the PAX made it to the fountain and hid them by the bushes. The PAX then moseyed back to the flag for the COT at 6:16 a.m.
