Baseball and Frisbee at #TheCastle

To celebrate the 2019 World Series, 13 PAX beat the Fartsack and put in some work on the baseball ‘field’ at The Castle.  YHC definitely is exaggerating the ‘field’ – really a parking lot with bases spread out in the shape of a baseball diamond. With the bases set and the PAX ready, we played ball.

Conditions – 53 and crisp

Opened with the Disclaimer

Lap around field

We divided into groups of three, with one group of four and ran to our bases.  After each base was complete, PAX sprinted to next base, although some PAX think home plate comes after first base.  After the base order was clarified, the following exercises were performed:

FIRST BASE (BLOCKS)

15 Squat Thrusters

15 KettleBlock Swings

20 Flutter Kicks with Block

25 Chest Press

SECOND BASE (BRICKS)

25 Triceps Extensions

25 Overhead Presses

25 Standing Butterfly

25 Curls

THIRD BASE

10 Big Boy Sit-ups

15 Iron Cross

20 Jump Squats

25 Flutter Kicks

HOME PLATE (Rifles)

15 Rifle Baseball Swings

20 Rifle Canoe

25 Rifle Triceps Extensions

50 Jump Rope Clicks

PAX sprinted back to home plate and then moseyed to the road for some Whamo Frisbee.

YHC purchased a lighted frisbee to use for this exercise.  Each PAX took a turn throwing or flinging the frisbee. All pax sprinted toward the Frisbee and next PAX picked it up – rinse and repeat through the group.  At this point, there were two deviant PAX that did not listen to the Q, and did not respect my Qthority.  While the compliant PAX air chaired, Hugo and Lambchop ran to the top of Liberal Hill and back.  Upon their return, all PAX ran to the top of Liberal Hill and used the Frisbee.  Each PAX took another turn throwing or flinging the frisbee. All pax lunge walked toward the Frisbee and next PAX picked it up – rinse and repeat through the group. Moseyed back and put up the bricks, blocks and rifles

With a few minutes remaining, YHC called:

LBC * 20 (OYO)
Flutter Kicks *15 (IC)
Hello Dolly *15 (IC)
V-Ups *10 (OYO)
Howling Monkey – 2, 5

Solid work from the PAX.  The lighted frisbee was a solid addition to the workout, especially since our accuracy was a bit off. Great group of men at #The Castle. As always, YHC was honored to lead the group this morning.  Mumble chatter was great, especially towards Hugo and Lambchop, who may need a renaming since he didn’t stop talking for 45 minutes.  Suggestions are welcome.  Respect is finally coming for Turncoat – Post on Friday to support this #HIM and give him the respect he deserves.
