The Tennis court means pain..
All Boondocks BackblastsJune 22nd, 2019
Another good showing for a Saturday suck fest at the Vet this lovely humid morning as 7 men joined YHC for the following:
Disclaimer then mosey to practice tennis wall for SSH, Imperial Walkers, Wind Mills and Clock Merkins.
The Thang: Pretty simple, Berpee Suicides. 3 lines per court, 4 courts, total of 12 lines, at the 1st line 1 burpee, run to 2nd line 2 burpees, run back and touch the 1st line then run to the 3rd line and do 3 burpees, run back to the first line then,, well you get the idea. Total of 12 lines for a total of 78 burpees.
My heart rate monitor on my watch wasn’t working properly and only showing my rate around 80. At the end it finally kicked in and basically told me to stop doing so many damn burpees. Also heard later that Cecil had breakfast before coming out and almost tasted his breakfast again. Can’t say I didn’t warn him.
Next station. Over to picnic tables for a brief break, so I thought. Each member found their spot for 20 incline merkins from the top of the table, then 15 incline merkins from the seat of the picnic table than 10 regular merkins on the ground. Goal was to repeat 3 times, AUDIBLE after the first round, (thanks Othello) reduce to 2 rounds and the second round we reduced the number by 5 each station. Much harder than it seamed.
Yes, another station, one of my favorites, Old Baldy, (the hill behind the tennis courts) Partner up, had to be fast guy with a slow guy. While partner one would run from the wood line to the bottom of the hill then reverse gear up the hill, touch the fence and return, his partner would do squats while he waited, rinse and repeat 4 times.
Then back to the practice tennis court for some much needed stretching mixed in with some flutter kicks and homer to marge. The end.
I know Saturday is suppose to be moderate but we have all day Sunday to recover so I pushed us a bit harder today. Way to stick with it. We had great conversation at the QSource/Coffeteria afterwards. Make sure to try and make the next one.
