Cardio & Strength with some Strength & Cardio
All Harrisburg BackblastsNovember 23rd, 2019
13 men weren’t scared of the forecast and came out to get better. Mission accomplished. YHC was pleasantly surprised to see that many pax out there given the forecast. What @Solocup says about you guys isn’t true. You’re tough. Except a couple, one who went against medical advice to work out more and one who left his buddy hanging after a night of shenanigans. They know who they are. Accountability is real fellas. I would be doing you a dis-service to leave it alone.
The planned workout was a mix of cardio and strength, as any good boot camp should be. It went like this.
Warm Up
SSH x 20, IST x 15, Windmill x 12, Mountain Climber x 20, Mericans x 10
The Thang
Cardio
Run up the Library steps touching each stair and back down and around
10 rounds
Strength
Incline mericans up the steps, count increases by 1 with each step you go up
13 steps. #Ouch. I’m not doing that math, but someone create a quick spreadsheet and calculate it. @MetroDog needs at least 100 every day for a challenge he’s doing.
Cardio
Run up to the entrance around the gate and back – 3 times
Strength
15 dips, 10 decline mericans – 5 rounds
After round 3 the dip count was reduced to 10ish
Cardio
SSH for 3 minutes
This was a modified 3 minutes, but we did the best we could for 3 minutes. Stories of @Exit54s 25 minutes of SSH will live on forever.
Strength
LBC x 50
Reverse Crunch x 50
Cardio
Indian run to Henderson Circle
This was herding cats as the pax claimed only to be Elizabeth Warren Indians, which is 1/1024
Strength
10 Burpees
20 Mericans
30 Squats
40 SSH (change to Low Flutter 2nd round)
Cardio
Run around Henderson Circle back to start
Repeat this routine twice
YHC definitely wore this routine better. @Solocup did a version of it recently, but this was better
@Stealth said it best, “that’s a big circle”
Mosey back for Mary
Mary
Plank Jack x 20
Mason Twist x 20
Low Flutter x 20

Great work this morning guys. Glad to have that many out on a gloomy day with bad forecast, even though it never rained.
Glad to have @Solocup back out keeping us in line. @Calypso will do squats better from now on because of your leadership.
Good to see @Comet and @Stealth out with @MetroDog. @Comet is a strong runner and @Stealth is a funny kid. He finished that circle on the 2nd round like a champ. Nice work.
Good to have @Calypso back from NJ. You do need to change your fuel. Fruity pebbles isn’t cutting it man, time to step up to something with more fiber.
@BirdCage was also back out in full action. Don’t be a stranger. See you on Monday at Stallings Road park for the Murph. Call your buddy.
