September 28th, 2017 By Alcatraz

16 men ran, drove or parachuted in (this one is a slight exaggeration) to HCES for a little sweat producing exercise on what will hopefully be the last day of 90 degree weather for 2017. YHC gave a disclaimer that informed the PAX that all the exercises were “suggested” as it was clear they were being given from someone who clearly was not a professional.  Furthermore, it was explained should someone decide to bring litigation they would have to answer the question from YHC’s outstanding legal team of @Glock and @Barrister – “At what point did you think it was a good idea to accept fitness advice from someone who weights over 270lbs?”  Case dismissed and mosey began to…

WARMARAMA:

• SSH x 19
• IST x 17
• Mountain Climber x 15
• Cotton Picker x 13
• Merkin x 5 (more to come for chest and arms)

Mosey to the sidewalk closest to HCES and partner up.

THE THANG:

One partner runs to the playground for Pull-Ups while the other is working on the “suggested” exercise count and switching until the total is completed.

• 5 Pull-Ups, 250 Merkins, LBC when finished
• 4 Pull-Ups, 200 Squats, Reverse Crunch when finished
• 3 Pull-Ups, 150 Carolina Dry Docks, LBC when finished
• 2 Pull-Ups, 100 Lunges (not single leg), Reverse Crunch when finished
• 1 Pull-Up, 50 Hand Release Merkins, LBC when finished

As it seemed to YHC the PAX were in need of a little more chest and arms there was a mosey to the rail for a “suggested” ladder climb of…

• Dips
• Incline Merkins
• Derkins
• Hold Halfway Down

Sets of single count 5, 10 and 15 were completed until the PAX was rudely interrupted by a bus during the hold section of the 15 count.  Furthermore, the PAX completely ignored YHC “suggestion” to hold their heads near the pavement while their feet were on the rail as the bus drove by. #OverlyConcernedSafetyPolice

YHC acquiesced to the inevitable mutiny to move away from the rail back to the safety of the HCES parking lot. However, the PAX was elated when it was “suggested” to finish the hold of 15 from the plank position.

At the basketball goals – Reverse Sprint, Stoli Skips, Reverse Sprint.  Mosey to…

MARY:

• Pretzel Crunch x 20
• Box Cutter x 20
• LBC x 20
• Low Flutter x 20

COT and BOM!

A “SUGGESTED” MOLESKIN:

1. Great work today men!  Thanks for mostly following the “suggested” instructions from your over 1/8 of a ton Q.  You definitely were taking a leap of faith today.
2. Healthy Eating Challenge starts next week.  YHC has a goal to get under 1/8 of a ton so feel free to forcefully remove any donuts or Dr Pepper you see in my possession while out and about.  Check the email for how to sign up or info on the HEC Kickoff Workout this Saturday at Comanche.
3. Thanks to @Phantom for partnering up today.  Really happy you had something left in the tank to knock out the majority of the Hand Release Merkins.
4.  It was promised that @Glock would make a late arrival.  His absence was probably YHC fault.  During a pre-run YHC joined @Glock on the track who was a about a 100 yards ahead at the start.  YHC proceeded to heap verbal abuse on @Glock shaming him for not closing the distance sooner.  @Glock responded by passing YHC in about a lap and a half.  It was pretty freakin’ impressive.  #SkinnySpeed

Always an honor to lead the PAX!
