Q: Hogs Breath
Thanks – O – Rama
Pax: Cleveland Rocks, Sharkbait, Hogs Breath and 2.0
DISCLAIMER: Given
Warmup:
SSH – 20 IC
Mountain Man Poopers – 20 IC
Hairy Rockets – 20 IC

THE THANG

This was a Thanksgiving “Pop Up” and impromptu workout. We decided together prior to the big meal and burn some calories. We began by kicking off Thanksgiving with a “TURKEYS” inspired workout. Still didn’t use the frozen turkeys.

A single round “TURKEYS”
Thrusters x 10
Upright-Rows x 10
Reverse Crunch x 10
King of Heart suicides (run forward to the mid-line of a soccer field, then backward run to the sideline. Then forward run to the opposing sideline, and backwards run back to the start)
Elf on a Shelf x 10 each side
Yoke walk to opposing sideline and back
Star jacks x 10

Then we loaded up the 2.0 into a jogging stroller, as a restrictor plate and mosey down the hill. At the bottom the 2.0 asked if we could “alligator” walk so we did about 20 yards of Alligator Merkins.

Then we mosey’ed some more. We found a park and did 25 dips, and 25 calf raises. Then we mosey’ed back to the shovel flag.

We played a round of “F, F, Goose….” Where all pax are in a circle in the plank and the ‘it’ tags each pax calling out “Duck, Duck…” eventually choosing a “Goose” who had to beat the “it” around the circle and back into the plank. Wet dewy grass made for some slippery fun!

After this we called the workout!

Caterpillar / Fuzzy Wuzzy Leg-o-rama

Leave a comment

DISCLAIMER: Given

Warmup: 
SSH – 30 IC… I think I lost count and just kinda went with it!
Goofball – 25 IC
Mountain Man Poopers – 15 IC

THE THANG
We began with a Caterpillar routine: formed a line in the plank position. The last pax would box jump over the remaining pax. This continued in the same a la fashion of an Indian run.

Once on the other side of the soccer field, we returned back via “Fuzzy Wuzzy” this was a bear crawl Indian run routine back to the starting sideline.

Howling Monkey: this was a COP where all pax grapped their ankles, the first pax began 10 monkey humpers, as soon as he was finished the next pax began 10 monkey humpers, this continued around the circle for a total of three times!

Not to lose the soreness in our legs, we mosey’d to the bottom of the hill.

We performed a few rounds of Sun Gods.

Then 125 squats, OYO. Immediately once the pax was down with the air squats he mosey’d back up the hill to shovel flag.

We still had about 7 mins left, so we began a “7 mins of Mary”

LBC, plank jacks, atomic sit-ups, and gas pumps. After each exercise all pax would sprint to the opposing sideline and back to the starting sideline.

Then to continue our leg burner. Walking Lunge Suicides!!!!
Start by walking lunge to the 10-yard line, then run backwards to the goal line. Then walking lunge to the 20-yard, backward run back. We followed by increasing the distance by 10 yards each time until we reached the 50.

Still having some time left, but wanting to incorporate some rest time….We performed coupon partner, run walk suicides!!!
Partnered up, the first pax would walk the coupon to the 10 yard, then sprint back to the goal tagging his partner. The second pax would then sprint to the coupon, retrieve the coupon and walk this back to the goal. While the one pax was sprinting, the other pax was able to get some rest. The distances would successively increase by 10 yards. We were able to squeeze in the full 100 yard football field!!! Just in time to circle up!

Q: Hogs Breath
Pax:  Sharkbait, Burgundy, Cleveland Rocks, Californication, Screech

DISCLAIMER: Given

Warmup: 
Some mumblechatter, the Carmel boys swim team was warming up on the opposing side line. So these old men took this as a challenge and lined up to ‘compete’ against these young whipper-snappers!
SSH – 35 IC
Hairy Rockets – 25 IC
Cairoca to the 20 yard line and back.

THE THANG
Originally this was planned for down the field, however the Q modified to go sideline to sideline. This was to avoid the Carmel High swim team, we didn’t want a game of chicken developing!

-Partner coupon sprints. One pax would walk the coupon to the opposing sideline, gently set the coupon down and sprint as fast as they could back to the sideline. Once pax 1 reached the starting sideline, pax 2 would sprint to the coupon; retrieve said coupon and carry the coupon back to the starting sideline. All pax experimented carrying the coupons in different fashions, such as goblet, overhead, arms straight out, and shoulder carries. Lather rinse and repeat till all pax had completed 10 iterations.
-200 cumulative partner goblet squats with the coupon.
-Inch worm suicide / mosey. Starting at the 50 yard line all pax would inch worm 10 yards, then mosey back to the 50 yard line, then inch worm 20 yards, mosey back to 50 yard line. Lather rinse and repeat till all pax had completed inch worming 50 yards.
-COP with a round of failure to launch. Failure to launch is a slow 8 count copperhead squat, with a squat jump, we completed 8 rounds before the first pax was unable to launch off the ground.
-50 yard all out sprints, followed by a 50 yard walk back to the starting line. Lather, Rinse and Repeat for a total of 5 sprints.

Warmup: 
Abe Vigoda – 25 IC
Hairy Rockets – 20 IC
Arm Circles – fwd / overhead – x10 IC
Copperhead Squats – x10 IC
Annie’s – x10 IC

THE THANG

-Mosey to the bottom of the La Mesa hill.

-Performed “failure to launch” which is performing a slow squat to a countdown from 10. Upon reaching one all pax “launch” by jumping into the air. We performed this until the first pax ‘failed to launch’ and feet remained on the ground. Perhaps this was around rep 6 or 7…..

-Indian Run up the hill with a coupon [35lbs kettlebell]. The Q pulled out a few pre-staged kettlebells. We began a modified Indian run, the pax in the rear would carry the kettlebell and sprint up to the front of the line, once the pax got to the front he passed the kettlebell back amongst the line. The last pax then sprinted to the front….

Begining our run of Mt. Suribachi

At the top of the hill in true Suribachi fashion, we circled the flags and performed several shoulder exercises.

  • 8-count body-builders 10 OYO
  • 4-count Raise the Roof [Air Presses] 20 IC
  • Ranger Merkins 10 IC
  • Caronlina Dry Docks 10 IC

Mosey back down the hill.

Did a few Baby Birds, to loosen up the shoulders.

Rinse and repeat Coupon Indian Run…only this time we used a 15lbs kettlebell!

Passing the torch…er the coupon

Once we reached the top, we couldn’t neglect our legs!

  • Air Drama (squat to a calf raise, back to a squat) x 20 OYO
  • Alternating lunges 20 IC
