I love to Q at the Shipyard….and I love to come up with something stupid that makes me wonder if I can do it, that’s where the challenge and motivation come from….
Today was hard but not that stupid…
the disclaimer was issued as Meter came runin in and Sunshine soon followed to give us 5…not nearly enough to throw out the farmer carry plan…
so we moseyed to the stack, doubled up and made our way to the “real” field…
after a 20 sidesaddle hop warmup, the thang was issued…
at corner one PAX performed 20 reverse thruster (you know, the one where your block is raised in the squat position, requires some balance)….farmer carrying your coupons, make your way across the end zone to corner two. Here PAX preformed a full body crunch x 30…don’t let those heels touch the field…
Grab up the coupons and mosey the length of the field to corner #3 and do 40 incline merkins ( good thing we had those blocks)…then farmer carry to corner number D and do , perform, attempt 50 goblin squats…
when all 4 corners are complete, farmer carry those deadweight hunks of cement from corner 4 (D if you were really reading) all the way around the field back to corner 4…rinse and repeat backwards and whirlyboy for the 6
With the short time remaining after plowing was done, PAX lined up on the end zone sideline and performed 40 curls, carried 1 block to the other side where they did 40 overhead triceps extensions , sprinted back to first line and did 40 kettlebell swings, sprinted back, did 40 bent over rows…time was called
btw, when I refer to plowing, I just mean that sometimes you have to figuratively plow thru the workout and get it done, much like a farmer does literally…the work sux, but you gotta do it to reap the reward….everyone today plowed thru…good work
we circled up round old glory and countOramaed, namOramaed (Elf forgot his) announced a couple of things ( shirt orders, get em…Meatloaf is at the beach so no book study this week…not a valid excuse not to read this week…sat workout is at Terrapin)…there were a couple of prayer requests, Tony Farmer passed away somewhat suddenly. Tony’s brother Rick and MeterMaid are close friends and YHC worked with Rick and Tony’s son Jeremy, so please say a prayer for the Farmer family….also say a prayer for YHC, he’s about to go solo with JBRsolutions
anyway, I’m always a nervous wreck before leading a workout, but then it’s so much fun…especially at the Yard, so until next time…peace
