  • What Lightning?

    Three shock-proof men looked out the window and said, “Lightning? What lightning?” And also, “Plan? What plan?”

    After a staggered arrival which saw Helix initially depart for a solo Murph before coming back for the latecomers, the PAX decided on a hot potato, and off we went. Here’s the best I can remember:

    COP: some of the usuals like SSH, merkins, etc. But also featuring an un-named hip mobility exercise Helix came with. By this point the rain had let off, and we were all proud of ourselves for how right we were to show up. Mosey to the bus loop for Triple Check #1

    Triple Check #1: box jumps/step-ups, alternating incline merkins and dips, while timer crosses the bus loop, bear crawling over the asphalt. It was good. Q is tossed to Surf ‘n Turf who takes us to the basketball courts for Triple Check #2:

    Triple Check #2: pull-ups, dealer’s choice ab exercise, timer runs a lap around the courts. It was good. Q is tossed to Mr. Holland, and the PAX returned to the bus loop.

    Three laps around the bus loop in total. At each fence opening, stop and do a set of exercises alternating from upper body – abs – lower body. Each man takes his turn twice. It was good.

    Mosey back to the flag for brief stretching, brief announcements, numbers, names, and off to coffee.

    Taking some Heinous ideas from the Lumberyard recently, here was the Daville workout Thang:

    At the track and football field. 100 Yd 11’s:

    9 Jumping Split Lungers one endzone ………….. 2 Burpees other endzone

    etc

    In the middle! To keep everyone on their toes:

    • Run 75%
    • Sprint 100% speed, there and back
    • Skip
    • Bear or Crab crawl

    After 30 minutes of Fire, we had 30 minutes of Fun. Ultimate Frisbee season is coming, and it’s time to awaken the ancient skills.

  • Can’t Tell The Weather From Our Clothes

    Four brave and variously-attired men descended upon DaPile for a hot potato beatdown (the only thing that was hot until Local Cup later on). I think it went like this:

    Helix led a COP with all the standard favorites, then a mosey to another parking lot. Each island compounded the previous exercises:
    1: 10 merkins
    2: 20 squats
    3: 30 PLTs
    4: 40 side straddle hops
    5: 50 LBCs

    Opus took the Q and took us to the back of campus for a Love Slight Incline. Partner 1 runs to the stop sign and back while Partner 2 alternates broad jump burpees, bear crawling, or lunges. It took a while, though not as long as expected.

    Mr. Holland took us home, completing the lap around campus whilst stopping for 25 of whatever exercise we hadn’t done enough of. Typical Mr. Holland kind of crap, really.

    No announcements to speak of, but the PAX somehow grew by 50% at the Local Cup. Good times were had.
