P200 Core Ladder

Best way to focus on the body part you want is to grab the Q. With P200 race starting tomorrow I wanted to not focus heavy on legs exercises or running while giving others the option. Good turnout with 14 total on a very mild temp morning.

Q: Catfish

Pax: MaBelle, Tombstone, Brickyard, Marlboro, SandTrap, Bozeman, Spud, Fire Chicken, Private Ryan, Total Package, Look Me Up, Checkmate and Trick Daddy.

Coffee Extras: Mayweather and El Ab

Warmup: Mosey to water treatment plant for 15 SSH, 15 Hillbillies and R/L L/R

Thang: Employee deck with core exercises on all 4 levels. Core exercises consisted of JLows, LBCs, WWII, Box Cutters, KGBs, Low Flutters, Dying Cockroach and ABCs. 2 at each level and total number always added to 50 for a total of 200 each round. Pax had choice of stairs or deck to climb levels and also choice to descend to bottom to repeat. Pax completed 4 to 5 rotations and picked a variety of stairs and deck runs.

Mary: Q miscalculated and arrived at Mary 1 minute late. Quick hamstring stretch and then COT.

Moleskin: ABCs were a new one for brickyard, once Q told him what to do I had to explain I wasn’t kidding. Big focus on core may create some tender stomachs come Sat morning but it created lower run total workout I was looking for with 2.6 miles for me. Pax was more spread than I prefer but coffee chatter was solid with a focus on P200, comedy songs, surviving on Alone, and the condition of our hotel room when Van 1 arrives in Mt Pleasant. We also learned during workout that Tombey likes watching jeopardy while eating his nightly jello cups.

Always be mindful and thoughtful of your brother. You don’t know when someone needs a comforting or supportive word and our Lord may have placed you in their path today for that exact purpose!!

50 curls, 50 shoulder presses, 50 skull crushers
50 chest presses, 10 derby double-taps, 50 heavy freddys
circle the parking lot, sort of and pick up trash…

Mary – stretching felt really good today.

COT: We prayed for @Poutine and @Brinkley

Those outhouse curls were no joke… especially 50 of them. But I handed out gun permits today, so enjoy!

An unexpected drizzle did not dampen the spirits of these fine Pax
WARMUP:
SSHs, Penny Pickers, then a mosey to retrieve cinderblocks
THE THANG:
5 stations were set up around the student lot at JMRobinsonHS in the shape of an M.
Lower-left: cinderblocks/weight exercises (curls, presses, tricep extensions, squats, thrusts, outhouse curls, etc.)
Lower-right: Ab station (WWIIs, LBCs, RBCs, Atomic Crunches, etc.)
Upper-right: Merk station (Merkins, Derkins, HRerkins, Diamond Merkins, Tysons, etc.)
Center: Aerobic station (Mnt. Climbers, High Knees, SSHs, Monkey Humpers, etc.)
Upper-left: Oblique station (Freddy Mercs, Pretzel Crunches, Squirms, etc.)
Moseying from station-to-station in an anti-clockwise manner, the Pax took turns calling out an exercise and quantity corresponding to the station. We probably made 5-6 circuits and worked a wide variety of muscle groups.
A variation I proposed but did not employ was to have the last Pax to finish at a given station skip the next station and go directly to next-next station and call the exercise–intent is to pick up “stragglers” and rotate exercise callers; might work well with large groups.
MARY: Return blocks to the corral
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Upcoming anniversaries for Comanche and _____; Cinco de Mayo F3 family event at Dan Nichols Park (Salisbury).
COT: Buck health and granddaughter birth next week, Stash’s 2 mo. old son and mother in-law health.
