Grinding around Gladiators

All Highlands Backblasts

September 20th, 2018 By Dropcloth

22 PAX (20 for Bootcamp and 2 Runners) gathered for a grinder fest.

The Thang:

After giving disclaimer and meeting who we thought was an FNG, only to learn he paid $10 for the gladiator workout that somehow is using our AO (pointed him in the right direction and then discussed how we should start an $8 workout up there), we were off on a grinder themed workout:

Warmup: 15 SSH, 15 Cotton Pickers, Arm Circles and Huggers, 15 Mountain Climbers and 10 Merkins

Break into groups of 3

First session: Front of MS – Derkins and calf raises on steps with runner between each (3x each rep)

Second session: Side of MS – Wall squats and CCDs with runner (3x each rep)

Third session: MS trailers – LBCs and Squats with runner around trailer circle (2x each rep)

Fourth session: Pull up bars – Pull ups and Lunges(under portico) with runner (2x each rep)

Fifth session: Guardrails – Merkins and dips with runner (2x each rep)

Mosey for Mary: 15 Mason Twist, 15 Freddy Mercury, 3x Circle Merkins, 15 JLos

Moleskin:

These Gladiators are killing me honestly taking up our AO.  But all is good I guess, funny paying for that workout when ours is right there for free! Glad to have F3 in my life for 5 plus years now.

Glad to see Glock and Alcatraz logging in some miles on the track and joining us for the COT.  Glock must be shooting for under an hour in his half marathon training.

22 men on Thursday is solid numbers!  Spread the word to get others out there, always a good thing when we can split and form a new AO!

    Well done @Dropcloth. Good thorough beatdown. Thanks for leading us today.

    I met with the Gladiator Boot Camp leader today after the workout. He seems to be a pretty good guy. He agreed to ask his group to park their cars down in the main lot and to try to stay to one end of the bus lot so that we could better share the space. He said that FIA had addressed similar concerns on Monday. I don’t think that we should have any issues with having them nearby.

    I don’t mean to sound like an administrator, but Camp Gladiator has a monthly membership fee and then utilizes public locations for their workouts (with or without the school’s permission)????

    That’s gotta be a HECKUVA disclaimer…

    Sounds like it was a fantastic beatdown, @DropCloth.

    See you in the Gloom.

    Dang, it’s killing me to read these back blasts. And I hate missing all these new Qs. See you all in the gloom soon. Keep it going!
