Introducing: THE WHEEL OF DEATH!!!

0

15 cold weather junkies converged at Rockwood but instead of the expected ice bath immersion experience, the good Doctor kept his comrades warm in the pursuit of MABA madness. Here are the mountains these heroes conquered today:

The THANG: 

WARMERAMA: 

  • Multiple laps around the parking lot with variable movements to get the blood flowing
  • Circle up on the Bball Court
  • Welcome & Disclaimer
  • Variable reps IC with a bit of stretching

COP #1: 

  • Shift back to the front parking lot for FOUR CORNERS – LADY OF THE NIGHT
  • Corner 1 – #MABA – yep, x10 Burpees
  • Corner 2 – x20 Oblique LBC’s (x10 ea side)
  • Corner 3 – x30 Mtn Climbers
  • Corner 4 – x40 Nancy Kerrigans (x20 ea leg)
  • (=70 Burpees in total)

COP #2:

  • Mosey to the playground and present THE WHEEL OF DEATH!!!
  • All PAX plank with feet on rotating platform
  • PlankWalk to rotate the dias for one full circuit – many PAX fell away in this effort

COP #3:

  • Mosey to the large middle lot
  • BEAST – explained to PAX – x6 stops with x6 Reps at each stop, for x6 Rounds total
  • Round 1 – yep, #MABA, Burpees (=36 total)
  • Round 2 – APD’s
  • Round 3 – Plank Line Hops
  • Round 4 – Deep Squats
  • Round 5 – WWII’s
  • Round 6 – Groiners

COP #4:

  • Back to the WHEEL OF DEATH
  • The Q had been contemplating the failure of the former effort, so PAX directed to partner up
  • One partner planks on the rail, legs held by their partner, with entire PAX walking the dias clockwise until a PAX drops – got maybe 2 rotations
  • Switch positions and walk the other direction until a PAX falls out – BETTER with maybe 4 rotations! 

COP #5:

  • Mosey BTTF and circle up
  • HUNDO FLUTTER 
  • x25 High Flutters
  • x25 Low Flutters
  • Roll over and stretch core
  • x25 High Flutters
  • x25 Low Flutters
  • Roll over and stretch core

COT:

  • Counterama # 15
  • Namerama
  • Announcerama (see Below)
  • BOM Prayer

NMS:  Empty Rockwood Q sheet on a Friday will almost always mean a DTH double-Q, and a few headlocking texts to get the PAX out even in the bitter cold. Way to get out there gents!!! YHC has been eyeing the new playground equipment for a couple months, and decided today was good for introducing the Wheel of Death. LOTS of options with this bad boy. Partnered option two was awesome – maybe add burpee penalties next time for guys who drop out until we have a winner team left. Love this SOJ PAX and all the energy going into the new year. And yes, if you hadn’t already noticed, every DTH Q this month will check the MABA box. Let’s GO!!! Yours AYE! ~DTH
