Chutes and Latter’s and Bags
All All MECA BackblastsFebruary 4th, 2017
12 men joined together on this cool morning to get a little faster, stronger, and give YHC a hard time. YHC was excited to try out a new routine, but dreaded trying to execute and explain the exercise. However, after much planning and word play YHC was ready to give it a try. Overall the workout went a little like this:
Warm-Up
- Mosey down to the lower parking lot
- Disclaimer (butchered it)
- SSHx15 IC
- Windmill x 10 IC
- Merkin x 10 IC
- Burpies x10 OYO
- LBC x20 IC
The Thang:
- Mosey over to the bottom of the hill for some “Ladder” work
- Bottom (10 burpies, run up)
- Middle (10 jump squats, run up)
- Top (10 dips, run back down)
- Repeat decreasing by 1 until you complete 1 of each exercises
- Pick a partner and mosey over to the shed to pick up a sandbag for each group, except for one
- Mosey over to the football field
- (Group 1) one partner will run with a parachute to the bleachers and back while partner 2 performs air squats. Once partner 1 is done switch with partner 2. After partner 2 is done, Group 1 will switch with Group 2 (w/ a sandbag)
- (All other groups) partner 1 will run with a Sandbag to the bleachers and back. Partner 2 performs air squats until partner 1 returns and then switch.
- Repeat until everyone has ran with the parachute.
- Repeat this exercise in the same type of pattern with some inclusions:
- Wave of partner 1 will run full side to side of field without sandbag
- Partner 2 performs sandbag weighted squats (except for the group with parachute) until partner 1 returns and switch.
- Return sand bags and meet at the playground for:
- 10 Pull-ups x 3 sets
- 20 Merkins x 3 sets
- 30 LBC x 3 sets
