The newest shipment of Skywalker winter gloom gear came in with perfect timing for a subfreezing beatdown.  14 PAX braved the weather for a Friday bootcamp in the hills.  With only a vague plan in mind, no watch, and a half ass disclaimer, YHC felt more prepared than ever to lead a beatdown.  Off we go!

Primary Objective: Get the blood flowing

Warmup

• Side Strattle Hop
• Merkins
• Imperial Storm Trooper
• Staggerred Merkins
• Cotton Pickers
• 5 Burpees

Mosey down to the street & line up… Indian run down the hill (sprinter drops for 3 merkins first)

The Thang

• 5 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 20 Squats, 30 LBCs, Sprint to shelter – This is a race!  Finishing order determines partners for the day.
• With your partner:
  • 10 partner assisted pullups (to ensure good full rep) on the soccer goal
  • Run up the hill for 20 Carolina Dry Docs
  • Wheel Barrow entire sidewalk leading to shelter
  • 20 Dip on the picnic tables
• Repeato
• Repeato

Next up, BBall court fun:

• Lunge walk then sprint
• Bear Crawl then sprint
• Crab Walk then sprint
• Inch Worm then sprint
• Repeato in reverse

Mosey to the street, 20 squats, Sprint to first street, quick stop for some mary.  15 Jump squats, sprint to top of hill, quick stop for mary.

Slow mosey back to the parking lot.  Stop for some muscle ups and LBCs before heading to the official mary.  Try to figure out who turned all the light off.

Mary:  Cruncy frog & Partner Throw Downs (3 sets)

Moleskin

• The homework today was an idea taken from @Pavarotti a while back.  The assignment was to do something special for the M before you start your day: leave a note, say something extra nice, do a chore, etc…  Something just to show her more love than usual and let her know that you are thinking about her.  Easy to do but many men, myself included, fail at this on a daily basis.
• This one was a shoulder shredder (say that 5 times fast).  My arms were shaking when trying to write my letter before work this morning.
• When looking for a lost blinky light, one effective method is to run it over with your truck thus turning the light on making it easy to find.  That thing sat in the parking lot since Monday morning through the cold and rainy weather all week then got ran over (at least once) and still works.  Not too shabby for a $6 light!
• Thanks for playing along today men, couldn’t think of a better way to spend a cold Friday morning.
• Christmas party is TOMORROW!  You do not want to miss it.
• Open invitation to anyone who wants to join the Skywalker group chat via Whats App.  Download the app and I will pull you into the group.  You will get the chance to see pictures of all the deserts @Genie regrets eating, it’s great!
