Tag: Bermuda Triangle

FSU football’s head coach Mike Norvell has a theme for his team called “The Climb”. He inherited a 5-7 team that had been on a slide downward for several years. He’ll often tell his team and coaches to “Keep Climbin” while they work on their weaknesses to get better each day. That’s what we did today at Bermuda, literally and metaphorically :

Warmarama – 20 SSH IC, 10 IW’s IC, 10 Ukrainian Soldiers IC, 10 Merkins IC

Mosey to workout area behind basketball court then spread across 4 stations

3 Rounds of the following :

Station 1 – 5 Pull Ups

Station 2 – 10 Jerkins

Station 3 – swing across monkey bars skipping every other bar

Station 4 – hang on monkey bars and move sidewards in a circle around them for a full rotation

He said he plans on coming out to post and that he lives in the neighborhood right next to the park. He seemed enthusiastic but you never know until they actually post

3 Rugged Maniacs gathered together for another edition of The Bermuda Triangle at Goyne Park in Chester. I think we were all still recovering from the OCR over the weekend, but we all decided to put in the work this morning.

Four hard charges got together this morning to get another early morning workout in. As I was pulling in early to set up cones for the workout, I saw Big Rig already at the park getting his own workout in. Motivating.

The Thing:
Mossey to the Basketball Court

side-straddle hops, Ukranian Soldiers, Don Quote’s, Imperial Walkers, Super Mario Jumps Karaoke

Finally Bring Sally up. A sadistic song in which you follow the lyrics “Bring Sally Up” equals Stand, “Bring Sally Down” equals squat and hold in position until you hear “Bring Sally Up”. The song goes on for what seems like and endless loop and possibly on repeat. The first minute seems quite easy, but by the end of the song, your quads are on fire.

Five minutes to go, finish with 30 yard run around gazebo 20 Mercans, 30 yard run back 30 leg lifts.

COT, Names, Numbers, Prayers.
