Nine of F3 Harrisburg’s finest joined YHC for 12-station bootcamp beatdown in 32 degree weather. ‘Twas a great morning with great HIMs who demonstrated their strength by flipping a truck tire 10 times for each round while smoking through a bevy of high intensity exercises amid the mumble chatter.
Disclosure that the workouts wouldn’t get easier but that we would get stronger in relation to them. Then off to the races.
WARMUP:
– Side straddle hop (12 IC)
– Imperial stormtroopers (12 IC)
– The Hillbilly (12 IC)
– Penny Pickers
–
– Various runner and arm stretches
Mosey around the parking lot, maybe for half of a mile or a little more, gather at the stop sign in front of the concession stand.
THE THANG:
Wind Sprints: The men took off at run and ran three wind sprints from one end of the parking lot concrete block island to to the other. Then we moseyed to the portico…
The group went under the portico for a rotation/domino workout. We repeato’d to 4 times.
Rotation/domino workout: Each person took one of the 12 stations. Once the timer completed their reps, we rotated stations.
Timer: 5 tire flips out, then 5 tire flips back, per rotating PAX
(Repeato 4x)
12 Stations:
- Dips
- V-Ups
- Wide-Arm Merkins
- Crunchy Frogs
- Carolina Dry Docks
- Merkins
- Heels to Heaven
- Incline Merkins
- Glute Bridges
- American Hammers (with coupon)
- Dying Cockroach
- In & Outs
At the end of just 4 rotations at all stations, we completed the workout, running out of time, with another short mosey back to the cars.
