YHC decided to Q a daily double with a 6:30 am and 5:30 pm Qs.   The 6:30 am BB has already been posted.  For the 5:30 pm, it started with only @charmin and YHC with the hope to see @snowsuit who sent a SC and @glock who HC but would be late.  A poor disclaimer was given as we moseyed to the back of HCE for warmarama.

WARMARAMA

• Mummie IC x19
• Skiers IC x15
• Prisoner Squats IC x10
• Gremlin/Penny Picker/Weed Picker IC x10
• Mountain Climbers IC x15

THE THANG

Moseyed over to small storage/mechanical building behind HCE for rotation of 15 wall sits with shoulder presses followed by 15 donkey kicks, all in cadence.

Moseyed to the back of the parking lot observing the tire skid marks left by some knuckle heads.  We then partnered up for the following pain stations, which was learned from a beatdown lead by @gamma last week in Harrisburg for his 50th.  YHC thought it was really good and wanted to share with the Highland Pax.

Partners collectively do 25 burpees, 50 big boy sit ups, 100 mountain climbers and 200 merkins.  The partner at the bottom of the parking lot is the counter and continue counting the reps until his partner runs to the first basketball post and back.  When all stations are completed following the 200 merkins, you continue working you way down with 100 mountain climbers, 50 big boy situps, and 25 burpees.

After completion of the brutal exercises above, partner 1 would lunge until partner #2 would run to the 2nd basketball post and back.  Then partner 2 would start his lunge walk where partner 1 ended while partner 1 ran to 2nd basketball post and back.  We kept alternating until the lunge walk reached 2nd basketball post.  From there, we then performed broad jump with burpee while partner 2 ran to the big rock and back.  When completed, we saw @glock running toward us as the sherriff’s patrol car was also making his way to the parking lot.  YHC assumes that the sherriff’s deputy was not concerned about 3 men wearing all black running around the back of elementary school while an 18 wheeler was parked along the basketball posts with the inside light on.  We are not sure what was going on in there, but we sure didn’t want to knock on the door to ask if he/she/they needed assistance.  Sherriff deputy didn’t think they needed to be disturbed either as he slowly left the parking lot following brief stop by the dumpster area.  Making sure nobody is stealing trash is far more important than an eighteen wheeler strangely parked in the back of an elementary school where 3 men wearing all black are running around.

For the next station, pax 1 ran to pull up bar and did 5 pull up while partner 2 did tricep dips x 3 rounds. We then did another 3 rounds of decline merkins x 5 while partner 2 did incline merkins for 2 rounds.
