Today’s workout was the first in several weeks for YHC, and I was honored to lead the PAX in a challenging workout (especially for my, not #thunderstrong after my hiatus). I was equally proud to lead these men in a brief escape from the sad reality that we have all lived through the last few days. Numbers were down a little, but the spirit from those that showed made up for those that were unable to post.
Conditions: 60 and dry on the mean streets of Shandon; pretty perfect actually
The Thang:
Brief reminder that I am definitely not a professional for the FNG’s
Quick lap around the Hand Parking lot, followed up with the following on King Street:
25 SSH IC
25 IW IC
25 Slooooooooow, slow Squats IC
25 Plank Jacks IC
25 Merkins OYO
25 LBC’s IC
25 Burpees #crowdpleaser
SSH until everyone finishes #costanzafavorite
Hustle down Wilmot to Queen Street for a repeatable circuit:
20 Jump Lunges, 20 Merkins, 20 BBSU; Flutter until everyone finishes
Move on down to Princess Street and repeat the same circuit.
We then moseyed down to Harden street, at which point McLovin and Promo started questioning YHC’s intent. If there is one thing #thunder PAX should know, is that if you go down a hill, you must go back up a hill, #ladderstyle.
Our ladder consisted of the following:
20 Jump Tucks at the bottom of Wilmot @ Harden street
Run up to the last car on the right (not an exact measurement, but halfway up to Princess)
20 Diamond Merkins #boymanseparator
Run up to Princess and do 20 Russian Twists
Run back down the hill to Harden, repeat 3x; with 15 reps, 10, then 5 reps.
Finish back at the bottom of Harden and Flutter until the 6 arrives, completed after 20 IC with all
Since we had to get back to Hand with minimal time, YHC called out our circuit from earlier, but to get there we had to:
Jailbreak back up to Princess #nearmerlot, 20 Jump Lunges, Merkins, BBSU
75% back to Queen; same circuit
#JogItOnOut back to Hand; same circuit with 1 minute burnout of BBSU’s
Again, it was nice to be back among the #Thunder PAX today. It was a good reality check for me and I hope we didn’t scare off our two new FNG’s.
