There is no Gray in the Gloom

A few weeks ago, Pondo approached me about taking up a Q slot in their rotation. A guest Q as it were. I immediately said yes and am honored to have been asked. As this is a strong, dedicated group, I only hope that delivered.

Conditions:  Not too bad for a July morning, 72 with some mugginess

The Thang:

Warm up COP in the parking lot:

  • LBAC forward – 15 4ct. IC
  • LBAC reverse – 16 4ct. IC (the pax were counting, YHC was day dreaming)
  • Calf raises – 15 4ct. IC
  • Plank jacks – 15  4ct. IC
  • Squats – 15 4ct. IC

Count off 1s and 2s and double applesauce indian run around the school to the brick/block cage. 1s grab bricks, 2s grab blocks. Circle up and plank until the group is reformed.

Ab COP (all performed w/out blocks or bricks)

  • Flutter kicks – 25 4ct. IC
  • CLBCs – 25 4ct. IC
  • Freddie Mercuries – 25 4ct. IC
  • LBCs – 25 4ct. IC

Grab blocks and bricks mosey around the back of the school over to the two buildings near the parking lot. During mosey, 1s alternating arm curls, 2s #Cusak.

1s line up on one wall; 2s on the opposite wall. During the next set, bricks stay on one wall, blocks on the other and the pax switch back and forth.

  • Wall sit – 60 secs w/block or bricks OH
  • Merkins – 50 OYO (all pax)

With this rotation, the pax originally w/bricks should now be holding blocks and vice versa. Mosey back to the cage, 2s alternating arm curls, 1s #Cusak.

Partner up near the cage and complete 100 reps as a team

  • Curls w/block
  • OH presses w/bricks

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
