Freestyle carry the block to the stadium. Prior to the WO Strom muttered something about stadium steps – Little did he know he was in for a treat.
At the home side of the field, on your 6 and chest press x 16, ic.
Mosey up the steps to the mezzanine level. Hold your block until the 6 arrives. Iron Cross x 16, IC.
All the way around the stadium we went down one set of steps, crossed to the next section and then back up to the mezzanine level, each time holding the block and waiting for the 6. Exercises at the top of each section were 16 IC and included: American Hammers, Freddie Mercury’s, Block Presses, Monkey Humpers, Squats with the Blocks, LBAC f/r, and others YHC can’t remember.
One other sidebar…when we crossed the field from the home side to the away side, we stopped at the locker room portal. The pax were reminded that tomorrow is Father’s Day and sometimes we, as dads, have to face some giants. Being somewhat true to the movie of the same name, we bear crawled 100 yards from goal line to goal line. A real crowd pleaser. Back walk back to get our toys.
Running low on time (the only running at Boneyard), we headed back to put our toys in the toy box.
Mosey back to the shovel flag. Technically we were out of time but YHC made an audible and called for 5 burpees.
FNG naming: Mike Jacobbe, quiet guy from Boston, not a Yankee fan but a Red Sox fan, married, 1 child, nurse anesthetist, we now know more about him than most people do…Bambino…BC for Bambino Curse…Sleepy…Grumpy…Snow White…Bean. Grumpy was mentioned most so Grumpy it is. Welcome Grumpy!
