Downrange:
YHC continued his tour of the ATL region AOs this week with a Q-Stop at The Rig. The journey was effortless and the coffee was worth the price of admission, but 1st, we got after it. 10 PAX joined YHC for this evolution and none left dry.
Warm up:
(All IC and x15) SSH, Imperial Walkers, Cotton-Pickers, Prisoner Squats and Stone Mountains
we broke for a little mosey around the park and then back to the shovel flag, for round 2.
(All IC and x10) SSH, Imperial Walkers, Cotton-Pickers, Prisoner Squats and Stone Mountains, followed by Large Arm Circles (IC, x10, forwards and back)
The Thang:
We moseyed over to the amply damp tennis courts for the next set: Build-a-burpee Suicides. The tennis courts are two wide (two next to each other). Starting at the fence, run to the doubles out-line and do 10 merkins, and run back to the fence, next run to the opposite doubles out-line and perform 10 plank jacks and run back. Next run to the near doubles out-line of the 2nd court and perform 10 thrusts, and run back. Finally, run to the far doubles out-line and perform 10 burpees, and run back.
Short break after each set to wait for the 6, 10 count, and then go again. 2nd set was 8, and 3rd set was 6.
Next we moseyed off park and down Georgia avenue to the picnic tables in front of Junior’s Pizza and Wood’s Chapel BBQ (big mistake, YHC has never been so hungry in my life, but i digress)
YHC called a Super 21, a never before attempted set at The Rig. The whole evolution is OYO and is you against the clock. The PAX each start with one incline merkin, one dip and one squat, and then two, three and so-on. The goal, to complete 21 of each. For those playing along at home, 1-21 of each is 231 reps. Some finished, some did not (including YHC who stalled at 20). With time running short, we moved on, back to the shovel flag.
CoT:
Jumbo took us out. Prayers for Francis Scroggins. (Grandmother of brother Fullhouse) who’s health has taken a turn for the worse.
Prayers for Red Ryders physical well being and knowing when to push and when to preserve.
Naked Man Moleskin:
Thanks for allowing YHC to come down and lead this group of men. I truly enjoyed it and the coffee-teria (despite the rain).
Encouragement from Morphine (yes he is actually an MD) for all to get vaccinated, now that the age restrictions have been lifted.
