Chachi led 12 PAX for EC with some generous double-time rucking, some pull-ups, some step-ups, dips and derkins. This extra credit crew is something else and it just keeps growing. Been a ton of fun since I”ve been participating. If waking up at 0430 and tip-toeing around your hopefully sleeping better half to get somewhere by 0500 to run around with 30 pounds of bricks strapped to your back while you exercise vigorously before you exercise even more vigorously is your idea of fun, then please come join us!
WU: 30 SSH; 20 Imperial Walkers; 20 Merkins; 10 Tuck Jumps
We numbered off in 4s. The 1s had a 400M sprint; the 2s had Merkins AMRAP; the 3s had WWIIs; and the 4s had a low plank hold. We cycled through each exercise once. After the first round we switched the 400M sprint to a 200M sprint (down and back), while the 2s-4s exercises stayed the same. Repeato. Lots of speed showcased, and it was fun to see it. Then we cruised up to the parking lot for the Blitzkrieg.
The Blitzkrieg is the coolest name I can think of for non-stop movement for 15 minutes. Except no one knows it is for 15 minutes, and no one knows what exercise is coming next and when (except YHC?). Here”s a sampling of what we tasted. You could call it a smorgasbord of suffering.
- Duck walks
- Merkins
- Low plank holds
- Lunge walks with overhead claps
- One-legged bear crawls
- Crawl bears
- Burpees
- Squats (full drop to the bottom)
- Planks with left arm and right leg extended and vice versa
Then we buddy/fireman carried to the walkway near the entry parking lot, where we launched into balls-to-the-wall handstand presses (10) followed by the people”s chair (with arms extended upward and to the side); repeat BTTW and handstand presses (10) followed by one-legged squats (10 each leg).
Entry parking lot for Mary:
- Cadre Phil Flutter Kicks (50) courtesy of Bushwood
- 30 Russian Hammers
- 37 or so Merkins
- Low plank hold for our cherry on top
Lots of beasts out there this morning doing some good work! I also appreciate the feedback on the Qs, but the reality is that almost every guy giving me props has kicked my butt during his Q at some point and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future. That”s what”s so great about this group. Welcome ATM representing from SC! Almost one week until The Bull (3/12).
Big thanks to Chachi for the thoughtful closing prayer.
