The challenge for YHC was to provide a leg workout and nothing else. No arms, shoulders or abs. Any muscle above the waist would have to wait for another day. So the thought was a complete workout where your hands never touched the ground.
Arriving at the Thicket it was dark, 29 degrees and sparsely populated. Marshan popped out of his car with an FNG (welcome Sap) and Link moseyed up so I figured we could do it with 4. Then at 5:44 from around the corner came seven men fresh off pull-up EC probably tipped off that if they wanted to get some arm work in they better do it early. One more car pulled up and we were an even dozen to start. Time to circle up and get busy.
COP
Fire up the music to wake everyone up
Front and back leg stretches
Side to side leg stretches
Jog around the parking lot getting in lots of high knees and butt kickers
Jump lunges
Karaoke around the parking lot always facing the school
The Thang
Indian run (only getting a little lost) to the cinderblocks. The music stayed in front and was handed off to the new man taking the lead. Once at the cinderblock everyone grabs one and spreads out. Music selection of Jungle up loud and men jump back and forth over the block making sure to get a lot of clearance every time so no one takes a header. At the chorus switch from front to back over to side to side. Once the song is over pick up the cinderblock and get in low squat hold for a cinderblock squat version of Bring Sally Up. When complete drop the blocks and mosey.
Arrive at the stairs at the middle school and pair up. PAX 1 runs up and down the stairs once while PAX 2 stays behind to do IC jump lunges. When PAX 1 returns switch and continue until the team hits 100. Low squat holds while everyone finishes. Next PAX 1 does two laps on the stairs while PAX 2 does sumo curb jumps. Switch and continue until the team hits 200. Run the stairs until all PAX complete.
Head to the far end of the parking lot and with your partner knock out three sets of suicide sprints (was planning on more but time was winding down).
Long mosey back to start. Arrive back at 6:33 so no time for Mary
COT
Live your convictions. The North Carolina state motto is “Esse Quam Videri” (To be, rather than to seem). Good advice
T-Claps to Boyardee, Marky Mark and Yanni for putting together a strong effort at the Ronald McDonald House yesterday.
