Q: Schnitzel

 

Felt a lot colder than the 35 degrees on the thermometer indicated.  Sometimes, 35 feels pretty good, but this morning, not so much.  The Burgh rolled in at 05:29:49 and off we went.

Warm a rama

Moseyed over to dark empty lot across from front of Murdock building.

The Thang

Backtrack a bit over to the front of Murdock building.  Introduction of the Reverse Spiderman.  This is one used over at RollingStone some, but not recently, in front of the school there.  I don’t recall the number of steps, but it was brutal then and was brutal today.  I think a few FNGs offered up Merlot over the years, engaging in this activity.  Nonetheless, it goes something like this:

• Find some steps, and there’s 4-5 in front of Murdock, or is that the back.
• Plank with hands on the pavement, and tips of feet on bottom step.
• Do a push up, slight decline, initially.
• Go up a step, backwards, maintaining plank, increasing decline.
• Do another push up.
• Repeato – until your last push up is at the top of the steps, or an emergency call to dentist is in order.

Partners chosen, YHC was odd man out, and P1 does the “RS”, while P2 planks, then flapjack.

Repeat, P2 does iron cross, repeat again, P2 holds leg raise (ala start of low flutter).

3x may have been a bit much, with plank thrown in there.

Mosey over to the oval in center of the Research Park, other side of Murdock.  Partners kept.  P1/P2 break off in opposite directions and meet on opposite side of oval.  There, 4 partner exercises are done:

1. Hand slap merkins x10
2. Partner throw downs x10 each
3. Partner burpees x5 each
4. Patty cake WWIIs x10

Continue journey around oval until meet back at original starting spot and repeat.

Repeat again, and then mosey back to parking deck side of oval.  There, do partner suicides, with 3 first street lights as suicide lines.

Risky and Toppy still have lots of gas in the tank on final sprint, well done fellas.
