YHC and @charmin were the only 2 pax to partake in the evening bootcamp, but nevertheless we were thankful it was a beautiful evening.  Having said that, it was a great opportunity to leave our usual shaded area that keeps us cool(er) from those days in the 90s and venture around the lake of the golf course.  But before doing so, a less than perfect disclaimer was given while we were already moseying down the golf cart path where we stopped at the 4 paths intersection for warmrama.

WARMARAMA

1. Mummy               IC x10
2. Skiers                  IC x10
3. Prisoner Squats  IC x10
4. Peter Parker       IC X10

THE THANG:   

We then moseyed over the the wooden bridge for our first station.

Bridge Station:  Partner 2 runs to top of the hill and back to the bridge while partner 1 does exercise below.  3 rounds each

Partner 1                                                      Partner 2

1. Decline Merkins                                      Run to top of the hill and back
2. Dips                                                        Run to top of the hill and back
3. Incline Merkins                                       Run to top of the hill and back

From there, we moseyed over the the rock area where we each grabbed a rock. Hats off to @charmin for selecting a very large rock, which he quickly regretted. We moseyed to the covered area with picnic table.

Rock Station:  Partner 2 performs exercise below as the counter and partner 1 keeps going until partner 2 completes # of reps.  2 rounds each

Partner 1                                                      Partner 2 (20 reps)

1. Curls                                                      Skull Crushers
2. Squat Thrusters                                     Upright Rows
3. Bent Over Rows                                     Chest Press
4. Lunges                                                   Rock Swings (apparently there is some real swinging happening in Highland Creek. But these 2 pax stuck with simple Rock Swings
5. Low Flutters                                           Merkins

We then moseyed/walk to the far end of the pound discovered thanks to @brinkley’s beatdown and we did a 5 to 1 ladded carrying the rock down and up the hill

Hill Station: 5 to 1 ladder with carrying rock down and up the hill.  Start with 5 burpees bottom of the hill and 2 jump squat top of the hill.

Following the Hill Ladder station, we walked back toward main rock station but @charmin made the wise decision to trade his rock for smaller one. Hats off to him for not trading that rock much earlier on the way to the hill.  We then deposited our rocks where we found them and moseyed and walk back to parking lot right at 6:15.

MARRY – no time

COT/BOT

MOLESKIN

• Thanks to Charmin for joining me this evening. This new beatdown will be a do-over for sure. But let’s select our rock wisely.
• The only swinging happening this evening was the swinging of rocks.  So you all get your minds out of the gutter.
• Prayers for all of those who are going thru rough time during this pandemic due to health issues, losing jobs, losing loved one, and fear of what the short and long term future might hold.
• Prayers that our country leaders will come back to decency and focus on what they can do for this great nation instead of focusing on personal attacks and what the other person/party can’t do.  It is easy to be a leader when things go well, but thru leadership is shown during difficult time.
• Iron Pax Challenge Week 1 starts next week for those interested. Thanks to @dutch boy for continuing to promote this challenge
• YHC remains MECA’s 1st F Q but needs to need to pass the torch to someone else due to Master Q obligation at Highlands.  If you are interested or know someone who might be interested, please let me know.
• Starting next Monday, the Mettle Monday and Friday cardio will move back to 5:30 am.
• A pleasure to lead this evening and sincerely enjoyed the 2nd F with @charmin
