YHC took the Q at Shawshank today in a continued effort to visit other AOs. The Shawshank guys always bring big numbers and put in hard work – both of which were accomplished today. I’m re-using my blocks/beers (pvc) workout as I go around to the different AOs. With today’s large number of PAX, the routine was altered slightly to account for time. We were even a block short so Dunphy and Buzzsaw (I think) semi-shared a block. There were 3 for SL (and dog), 8 for the Rock, and 17 for BC. Here’s how it went down.
Conditions: low 40s, overcast, not too bad
1 minute warning, intro, no FNGs, disclaimer, prayer
Follow me to the blockpile, grab a block, and circle up on the soccer field corner. We warmed up with:
15x SSHs IC
15x AirSquats IC
15x IWs IC
After the warm-up we started the routine of block and “beers on the wall”. As we moseyed between the blocks and pvc, we mixed in some butt kicks and high knees.
- First block exercise is 10x Block Jump Burpees
- Mosey to the pvc. 10 bottles of beer: The PAX line up side-by-side, plank, relay merkin 10 pieces of PVC down the line where you grab a piece of pvc with your left hand, merkin, roll it to you right hand, merkin, pass it to the guy on the right, get another from your left. Rinse and repeat until all pieces were passed down. Set one piece off to the side
- Mosey to your block. Next block exercise is 20x Block Thrusters
- Mosey to the pvc. 9 bottles of beer (with the pvc going back the other way)
- Mosey to your block. Next block exercise is 30x Block Bear Hug Squats
- Mosey to the pvc. 8 bottles of beer (with the pvc going back the other way)
- Mosey to your block. Next block exercise is 40x Block CFTGs
- Mosey to the pvc. 7 bottles of beer (with the pvc going back the other way)
- Mosey to your block. Next block exercise is 50x Block Toilet Squats
- Mosey to the pvc. 6 bottles of beer (with the pvc going back the other way)
- Mosey to your block. Next block exercise is 60x Block Overhead Presses
- Mosey to the pvc. 5 bottles of beer (with the pvc going back the other way)
- Mosey to your block. Next block exercise is 70x Block Bent Over Rows
- Mosey to the pvc. 4 bottles of beer (with the pvc going back the other way)
- Mosey to your block. Next block exercise is 80x LBCs
- Next block exercise is 100 yards Overhead Block Carry out and back and to the block pile
As mentioned earlier, the 45 minute was approaching (the guys had been reminding me for a while – you know since it takes 5 minutes to get to the block pile, another 5 to set them down, then 5 to get to the shovel flag, and there may have been another 5 in there for padding). So we bypassed the 90x exercise and remaining beers on the wall. We managed to get everyone back safe and sound with about a minute overdue.
