YHC originally signed up for today’s Q thinking he wouldn’t be traveling for work this week, but life throws you curves and when 0530 struck this morning he was running on about 4 hours sleep. Still, when YHC rolled up and saw 3 PAX doing a coupon ruck EC (including Ripken from Sunny Florida), he knew it was time to flip the switch and empty the tank. 5 total attacked the morning at OCL.

Warm-up

SSH x 20

WMH x 10

LBAC x 10

RLBAC x 10

IW x 15

Merkin x 10

MC x 20

5 Burpees OYO

We mosey’d to the bottom portion of the parking lot and YHC explained the plan for today. We’d be working our way up to 20 using the following formula:

Forward travel 3 parking spaces, perform 5 reps of exercise, reverse travel 3 spots back to start

FT 6 spaces, 10 reps, RT back 6 spaces

FT 9 spaces, 15 reps, RT back 9 spaces

FT 12 spaces, 20 reps, RT back 12 spaces

Plank it out and wait for the six.

The first 3 rounds went like this:

Bear Crawl to merkins, crawl bear back

Lunge walk to jump squats, walk lunge back

(Threw in 10 burpees OYO here)

Crab walk to hello dollies, walk crab back

For the final round, YHC called for modification of going intervals of 1 spot (so 1,2,3,4) instead of 3 spots for an absolute soul crusher:

Traveling merkins out (right hand leads), Peter Parkers, Traveling merkins back (left hand leads)

Seeing stars at this point, YHC led a six inch leg hold to catch some wind.

15 burpees OYO

Mosey back around to cars for Mary

LBC x 20

Superman Hold Ring of Fire – 10 count each

20 Burpees OYO

Flutter kicks x 20

Uzi hijacked COT and bullied us into 16 celebratory burpees in TB’s honor (The good news is his to share, so ask him when you see him) and we are all better men for it.

YHC took us out and then sat in his car for 5 minutes to recover enough to drive home.

Great morning with a great group. Thank you guys for the accountability and the push. SYITG
