Attila

Cold morning but 8 posted at Tunnel Vision for a good work out…including Beaver who drove all the way in from New Kent. Nice.

Warm up, followed by a Tunnel Walk (1 Burpee at light 1, 2 Burpees at light 2, etc. until 5). Then 4 Corners (25 Dips, 25 Carolina’s, 25 WWIIs, and 25 Squats)…with 5 Burpees at the center. (That should be 40 Burpees so far).

Picnic benches for a Lindsey (Dips and Step ups). Whitesnake requested we do a Bear Crawl through the parking lot as we headed to our Quadruple Check (Squats, WWIIs, Merkins and a Run).

Playground for 2 rounds of Steps Ups, Dips, and Squats…for as long as a group took to do 10 Pull Ups.

Attila insisted that we finish with Abs ;-). So 50 American Hammers, 10 Irish Hammers, 20 Heals to Heaven, and 10 WWIs to finish off the morning.

A fabulous 9 which included a surprise guest met for that last weekday Handshake “big week” Q.

Quick mosey around Parking Lot and a COP.

Grab 2 Partners for a 1 Microblock Coupon from Lil’ Blue and do a Triple Check. P1 long mosey down the Parking Lot and around. P2 Plank Jacks, P3 WWII Coupon Press.

Mosey over to the Tennis Courts and line up on the steps. 30 Incline Merkins, 30 Dips, 30 Bench Kicks.

Mosey to the love tunnel. YHC couldn’t let Tryhard make the trip and not experience the Tunnel. Triple Check – P1 does Overhead Presses with the Coupon, P2 Bear Crawls through the Tunnel and then moseys back P3 HRMs. Atilla’s moans echoed through the tunnel.

Mosey back to the Flag and complete 2 minutes of Mary to finish.

Two Sappers gathered in the rainy, foggy and wet gloom – that frankly really could have been more spicy weather all the way around. If anyone who could pass a psych eval was out, this is what they might have seen.

Get some!

Four warriors showed up for some fun and games at Tunnel Vision on Friday morning. Everybody led a round of exercises. Gomer and Handshake engaged in some spirited trash talk and good times were had by all.

Gomer got us started fast with a flurry of high rep movements.

Burpees, Mountain climbers, Don Qs, Helicopters JJs, 4-5 different variations of the Murkin, Crunches, Leg lifts, Flutter kicks, and a couple Ab movements Gomer made up on the spot that were tough.

The group took a jog (soft j) down the hill and through the tunnel where we each paid the Troll Toll (1 burpee for every light in the tunnel).

Tater led the group through a 4 corners at the tennis courts. 25 Murkins, 25 Dips, 25 Squats, 25 lunges. 5 burpees inbetween each corner.

Handshake took over and moved the group to the grass bleachers where we did 3 rounds of step ups, dips, and feet elevated murkins. Gomer wasn’t listening and Handshake didn’t like it. The trash talk ensued.

The group headed back through the Tunnel and paid the toll. Borat led the group to the playground where we did three rounds of 20 step ups, 20 side lunges, and 6 pull ups.

Finished with a COT and prayer.

Great work from the PAX today as we traversed white and black ice.  Great to have Big Spoon in from Tulsa.  Under the it’s a small world, Roger Roger’s M used to babysit Big Spoon, and once had to pick him up from Short Pump Mall after he got busted by HCPD for an intense, on-the-run make-out session.  Did not have that on the bingo board this morning.

Prayers up for those looking for jobs, Roger Roger’s son’s broken arm and Big Spoon’s family as the celebrate the life of his grandmother.  God is good all of the time!

Four of us posted this morning and shared equally in an impressive workout. Borat mentioned his heart rate was as high this morning as the WTH running workout on Wed. So we did alight 🙂
