11 men and the Q came out to put their backs, knees, calves, hips, and, in this Q’s case, shins at risk.  It was a little hotter than expected rendering the Q’s long sleeves a burden.

Here it go:

Warm up

• Mosey to the entryway of the drag strip (Lee Ann Drive) by way dentist’s office, get lost on the way but hack through the foliage to get there
• SSH x 20
• IST x 10
• Loose change x 10
• Walk 15 feet to drag strip entrance to explain

THANG

This would be considered a “progressive” Dora beatdown.  All 12 pax partnered up and used the light posts as timers.  One partner would run to the next light pole down as a timer and then return, then the other partner would do the same, and finally both partners would run together to the next lightpole, using the subsequent lightpole as a timer.  Once the end of the street is reached, turn around and come back.  All the while, the other partner is doing the following exercises:

• Star jumps x 100
• Two footed Diagonal hops (4 count…..errrrm….2 count) x 200
• Airborne Heismans (Sick P90X move, google it broham) x 300
• BURPEES x 50
• REPEATO if completed

Go up and down the dragstrip doing this and changing partners and stay in constant movement until time called at 0608 right as the Q was ready to get into the second set of burpees…such unfortunate timing.  Head back cross Lake Concord to…

MARY

• LBC x 75 (4c)
• Spud’s weak ass attempt at 1 minute broga.

COT

• Prayers for Anvil’s brother Jake
• Prayers for Anvil’s possible job opportunity
• Prayers for Cat’s family as Oscar is headed for hospice with COVID.
• REMINDER: TigerTown Launch this Saturday at 7, no Concord beatdown.  Check Slack for details.

Fun stuff.  Lots of jumping.  Lots of complaining about lots of jumping.  We don’t do nearly enough pure plyometric work, so I wanted to push us as hard as we can.  Decent amount of running too, 2.6 for the Q, and there was little opportunity for recovery, the body was in constant motion.  Kept my heart rate up for damn near 35 minutes which was awful at the time but gives you a hell of a feeling once you finish.  Sometimes we all need that constant motion to remind us how damn good rest and recovery feels.

Solid group of guys.  Solid coffee talk about all sorts of nonsense.  No matter how confident someone seems, everyone benefits from an attaboy, and no matter how down in the dumps someone may seem, everyone benefits from some constructive criticism.  Treat no man as if they are above reproach, and treat no man as if they are beyond your help, and you’ll live a damn good and fruitful life.

Get busy livin or get busy dyin.
