the floor is LAVA

The Crossing Crew was expecting molten temperatures, but 97 and breezy wasn’t all that bad in the shade… until you stepped onto 120 degree pavement in the sun. The Q thought very briefly about taking the PAX inside the church, but the Core Principles were instead honored in gloriously sweaty fashion – in the following manner:

The THANG: 

WARMERAMA: 

  • Mosey loops around the Annex Lot and circle up
  • Welcome & Disclaimer
  • The usual DTH top to bottom IC Reps

COP #1: 

  • Mosey down to the Portico (shaded)
  • Partner up for B.O.M.B.S. – Similar to Dora 1-2-3 but more exercises, B.O.M.B.S. consisted of Burpees (25x), Overhead Press holding Low Squat (50x), Merkins (75x), Big Boy Sit-ups (100x), and Squats (125x). Partner 1 does reps while Partner 2 bear crawls 20 yards, and lunges back to switch. 
  • Mosey BTTF for a 3min water break

COP #2:

  • Mosey down to the church
  • BLAZING HOT POLE SMOKERS (zero shade)
  • x30 reps OYO holding onto a parking space pole, legs straight, getting the hips off the ground to kick the sign

COP #3:

  • Mosey around to the shaded side of the church, and circle up on a nice soft patch of grass
  • MARY – variable, more than 6 minutes, all reps in cadence, to include:
  • Crunchy Frogs
  • Low Flutters
  • WWII’s
  • LBC’s
  • Oblique LBC’s (each side)
  • High Flutters
  • Groiners 
  • (Feel like I missed one or two…)

COP #4:

  • Short mosey to the brick wall
  • WALLORAMA
  • Hoedowns x10 IC
  • Heel Slappers x10 IC
  • Dirty Hookups x10 IC (ea side)
  • Variable stretching

  • Counterama # 5
  • Namerama
  • Announcerama (see Below)
  • BOM Prayer

NMS:  Solid work by The Crossing PAX. Extra credit to House Party for adding personal burpees to the workout. SORRY, WAS THIS NOT HARD ENOUGH FOR YOU MR LONGSLEEVES?!? Dude’s a beast. With shoulders smoked from NoToll and Ruckhenge, it was nice to focus on legs and abbs. Appreciated the opportunity to lead gents! Yours AYE! ~DTH
