Ex-Nantan Week @ Brickpile – Part 1

Schools back in session and the return of the routine for Dreher starts early.  Not as early as the #Faithful, though, who were out front ready to go this warm, wet morning.  What looked like a big crowd quickly subdivided and the 50/50 split of the pax between Brickpile and SCORE made for a solid and well seasoned Tuesday morning.

Conditions:  Mid 70’s and damp like August in Columbia.

TheThang:

A quick COP cranked it up with the following:

  • SSH X 25, 4CT IC
  • Mercans X 12, 4CT IC
  • LBCs X 20, 4CT IC
  • Squats X 20, 4CT IC
  • Carolina DryDocks X 12, 4CT IC
  • BBSU X 20, OYO

From there we moseyed around back to the rear parking lot for the following Burpee/Flutter set:

  • Burpee in each parking space (X5)
    Flutters at the island (X12)
  • Burpee in each parking space (X6)
    Flutters at the island (X11)
  • Burpee in each parking space (X7)
    Flutters at the island (X10)
  • Burpee in each parking space (X9)
    Flutters at the island (X10)

Partnering up and grabbing blocks, the pax rallied back at the end of the parking lot for the following:

Partner 1 runs to the first island and back while Partner 2 AMRAPs a called exercise.  Then Partner 2 runs while Partner 1 AMRAPs the same.  Flapjack and run to the next island out and then again to the third island.  Thus, each total set included three sprints of increasing distance and three AMRAP sets of the following exercises:

  • Curls for the Girls
  • Overhead Press
  • Bench Press
  • Goblet Squats

At that point the blocks went back in their cage and we gathered back again at the end of the parking lot for some more Burpees and, instead of Flutters, Hello Dolly’s to make the experience more fun:

  • Burpee in each parking space (X9)
    Hello Dollys at the island (X10)
  • Burpee in each parking space (X7)
    Hello Dollys at the island (X10)
  • Burpee in each parking space (X6)
    Hello Dollys at the island (X10)
  • Burpee in each parking space (X5)
    Hello Dollys at the island (X10)

With a mosey back to the main entry to DHS, we had a few minutes to kill and SCORE had already claimed Hollywood Squares so we were relegated to the long steps at the front which were used for some Bear Crawls:

  • 1 set, bear crawl down the steps and then backwards bear crawl back up.
  • Rinse & Repeat with 2 sets down and back up
  • Again with 3 sets
  • And end with 4 sets of bear crawls down the little flight and backwards up again

COT & BOM with the SCORE guys.

NMM & Announcements:

  • Apparently YHC was the war baby once a couple pax scattered to take kids to school.  An honor to post with such a sage crew.
  • Labor Day convergence at #Thunder, 7:00 AM on September 3rd for one hour of bootcamp, kettle bells, rucking or just about anything else your heart could desire.  Make time in your day off to join the Nation.
