DATE: 22APR23
THE EVENING BEFORE, AS WITH MOST OF YHC’S Q’S, MINIVAN BEGINS HIS MUMBLECHATTER WITH DOUBT THAT ANYONE WILL COME. TODAY THEY DID, 10 PAX FOR SATURDAY IS A PRETTY GOOD HEAD COUNT. THE MEN CAME TO WORK. T-CLAPS TO ALL OF THEM AND DOUBLE TO GEKKO FOR TAKING IT ON AND BEING SMART ENOUGH TO ADJUST AS NECESSARY.
THE MEN THAT CAME WERE: SPAGHETTI O, SCHNITZEL(R), MINIVAN(R), CHUMBUCKET, NAENAE, CLANCEY(R), GEKKO(R2), SPAULDING(R), AMBIEN(R) *CARTWHEEL
WE CIRCLED UP AND GOT WARMED UP WITH 25 SSH’s, 10 SQUATS, 20 LBC’s, 10 MERKINS, 10 TTT’s AND FINALLY SOME HAMSTRING STRETCHING.
GEKKO LET US KNOW ACCORDING TO HIS PT WE SHOULD STRETCH A MINIMUM OF 90 SECONDS EACH LEG. NAENAE IS NOT AS FLEXIBLE AS GEKKO AND THOUGH HIS KNEE TO HIP DISTANCE IS NOT AS LONG AS MOST IT IS PARTICULARY CHALLENGING FOR HIM TO CLOSE THE GAP TO HIS CHEST.
ON THE HOP WE SELECTED A PARTNER FOR BUDDY TEAMS AND MOSEYED TO THE BLOCKS THEN THE GARAGE. CHUMBUCKET HAD TO TRACK DOWN CARTWHEEL, HIS 2.0, WHO CAME SINCE THEY WERE ON THE WAY TO BEACH CLEAN UP FOR EARTH DAY. APPARENTLY SHE SLEEPS IN WORKOUT CLOTHES UNDER HER PAJAMAS. SHE STARTED RUNNING IN PAJAMAS AND BY THE END OF THE WORKOUT HAD SHORTS AND A TSHIRT ON AND NO SHOES. SHE’S STILL PROBABLY FASTER THAN ALL OF US.
WE MADE IT TO THE GARAGE AND YHC DELIVERED THE FIRST SET OF OUR MODIFIED DORA.
ONE PAX RUNS TO CORNER ABOVE AND BACK WHILE THE OTHER PERFORMS THE EXERCISE. ONCE ALL REPS ARE COMPLETE BOTH PAX RUN TO THE CORNER ABOVE WITH THE BLOCK ALTERNATING AS NEEDED.
STATION 1-OHP
STATION 2 – CURLS
STATION 3-TRICEP EXTENSIONS
WORKING THROUGH OUR FIRST SET THE PAX COMMENTED ON HOW MUCH HOTTER IS IN THE GARAGE. YHC TOLD THEM HE DIDN’T KNOW IT WOULD BE. THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE IT. AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE WEATHER OUTSIDE WAS PERFECT. IN THE GARAGE IS A DIFFERENT STORY WITH JUST THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF HUMIDITY.
ONCE WE MADE IT THROUGH THESE WERE ALMOST TAPPED OUT ON TIME SO WE HEADED BACK TO THE BLOCK DEPOSITORY. STACKED THE BLOCKS AND HEADED TO THE FLAG.
COT
