YHC was scrolling through old backblasts, trying to devise some overly complicated and specially themed Q, before coming across a simple pyramid workout. Sometimes the simplest workouts are the most effective, so we tried to prove that notion.

Warmup

SSH, AC (forward only!), WMH, lap around the block

The Thang

Goal was to power through 2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2 pyramids and work our way down our muscle groups from head to toe, with a longer extra exercise set after each pyramid to further hit those muscles.

Dry Docks + Overhead Claps

Merkins + Seal Claps

Jump Squats + Mountain Climbers

Johnny Dramas

Baseline Run Burpees (on the tennis courts)

Pullups

Mary

During another run around the block, there were LBCs, LSFs, and AHs, with a Bernie Sanders back to the AO.

COT

Judging by the confusion during name-o-rama, with PAX forgetting their turns and names, I think the point was successfully proven that simple workouts can be highly effective.

BOM: For the last couple weeks, YHC has continued to think, and state to others, an eagerness for the kids to get back to school. That’s the wrong approach. Instead, the approach should be cherishing and making the most of the coming days – so that’s the goal, and that’s the message. Have a great weekend!
