ME
Do run down to the bottom of the parking lot and back up the side walk up to the bus stop. Cross the street and mosey down the hill to the intersection with the parking deck. Going up the hill, do 5 boo boo bear crawl steps, and 3 scorpion dry docks. Continue up the hill to the stop sign.

Go back across the street and grab the blocks.
First up, partner kettle swings – space yourself about 4-5 feet apart with one person having a block. Pax A begins a kettle swing and at the apex, pax B grabs the block and continues the downward swing motion. When pax B brings the block back up, pax A grabs the block. Continue back and forth for 20 total hand offs.

Staying with your partner, prepare for two exercises. Pax A does tower of power (two blocks are set up vertically, about 15" apart, with both hands on the ground, perform a merkin. Raise one hand to the middle support of the block, do a merkin. Raise other hand to middle support, do another merkin. Raise first hand up to the top of the block and do a merkin. Raise second hand to the top of the other block and perform a merkin. Work you way back down, doing offset/even merkins until you have returned to the ground. This will be 9 merkins in total.

NEMO – This routine mixes a get-up with a blockee. Start laying flat on your back, with a cindy on the ground above your head. Grasp the cindy, bring to your chest, perform one press straight up. Place cindy to one side, then kick out your legs or flip over to an inclined plank position. Perform one incline merkin, then without releasing the cindy, stand up and perform an overhead press. Return to inclined plank, perform another inclined merkin. Return to position on your back, perform one press straight up over chest with cindy. Return cindy to position over your head. Repeat rotating to the other side for one rep.

1) deadman to thrust (10)
2) clean to shoulder (10 each side)
3) glute bridge floor press (15)
