A surprising 23 of Harrisburg’s finest (mostly) came out to get a little stronger.  Since not everyone was able to make it out Saturday to try out the new toys, I decided to bring the new blocks to everyone.   A modified, some may say angry disclosure was given.  I would prefer to think of it as  motivational and off for a quick mosey.

Warm up

SSH X 15

Seal Jacks X 15

Smurf Jacks X 15

Plank Jacks X 15

The Thang

Everyone picks up one block and to the main road in the parking lot.  We had to get to the other parking lot and just carrying the block would be no fun.

10 Murder bunnies followed by 10 Walking Shoulder Presses   X 3.  This got us to the parking lot edge where we partnered up.

Partner 1 -farmer carry to the first parking line – 5 Burpees -leave the blocks (Gamma) and run back to Partner 2 who is doing Mt Climbers.  Partner two runs to blocks – 5 burpees and Returns blocks to beginning.  P1 -Repeat going to the next line and doing 4 burpees – leave the blocks (Gamma) and return to P2 still doing Mt Climbers.  P2 runs to blocks 4 burpees and returns blocks.  Repeat to line 3,4 and 5.  Dropping Burpees each line (3,2,1).  The last farmer carrier all the way across the parking lot was taking a while, so we modified the next rounds to just 3 lines.

Round 2 – P1 Replace Burpees with 10 Incline Press at line one (drop by 2 at each line up to line 3).   P2 while waiting does WW2.  Again Farmer carrier out by P1 and P2 brings the blocks back.

Round 3 – same as above but with Thrusters at the lines and waiting partner completed Squats

Round 4 – same as above but with Curls at the lines and waiting partner completed SSH

Round 5 – same as above but with Tricep Extensions and waiting partner Apollo Ohno

Time Flies when your having fun.  Back to the cars with walking Curls and Shoulder presses.

Unfortunately we ran out of time.

Count off and Name-o-Rama

COT – Thank you Bear Claw

-Hope everyone enjoyed the blocks.  Someone either got to excited about the blocks or needs to work on their grip strength as one block was returned in pieces from being dropped.

-Speaking of Grip strength, it was a close race at one point between Hong Kong Phoey and Tumbler racing back from line 3, but oh no, Hong Kong Fumbles on the five yard line.  Team Clydesdale take the win.

-Not a lot of modifying going on that I saw.  I guess everyone was just trying to push themselves to do the workout for some reason.

-I saw some great teamwork as partners where helping each other and other teams with the farmer carriers.  Roughly 60 extra pounds being carted around is no joke.

-A few races coming up – Harrisburg 5k this week and Burn’s on the 21st.  There are still workouts for both Saturdays.  Warning, anyone who shows up wearing a Burn Racerback Tank may get renamed immediately.

Sorry for the extremely late posting of the backblast.  Sometimes Stuff happens.  Thank you for coming out and working hard.
