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

THE THANG

Since all of the pax that posted today were not at Saturday’s workout, I figured I’d give a taste of sprints!

-Doracides – We began with a partnered suicide run, as one pax would begin a [partnered] set of 100 Merkins, 200 LBC, and 300 Squats. As the pax finished his suicide run, he would pick up the count.

– Bear Crawl Ring of Fire – Combines exercises we have all come to love/hate! We formed a bear crawl circle around the shovel flag. Moving in a clockwise direction we began to bear crawling in a circle. When Q called the first Pax completed 10 merkins while other Pax plank; then next pax in line completed 10 merkins while other pax plank. Once all the pax had completed the merkins we began bear crawling again. Rinse and repeat for 3 rounds!!!!

-Black Jack – From Exicon – Circuit  Start on the sideline of the soccer field. Perform 1 Merkin – run to other sideline – perform 20 LBCs. Run back and do 2 Merkins. Run back for 19 LBCs. Repeat until you do 20 Merkins and 1 LBC, running between the sidelines. Always adds up to 21 We didn’t quite make it through the entire BLACK JACK! Q called it at 6:42 am.

– 3 Minutes of Mary!!!
-LBC x 20 IC
-Rosilitas x 15
-Leg raise x 10
-Plank Jacks x 15

THE THANG

“Normandy”

-Partnered; one partner began Inch-worming toward the water, the other partner began a round of 10 squats, 10 Merkins, and 10 LBC. Once the second pax completed the round they sprinted to relieve the inch-wormer. Pax traded spots and continued the rounds of merkins’, squats, LBC / Inchworm until one of the pax got their hands wet in the ocean. Both pax would then mosey back to the staging area.

Pax repeated the movement with lunges, and then bearcrawls.

Q then retrieved a smartphone and speaker from his car and all pax began “F3 Aerobics”

  • “Flower” by Moby, aka “Bring Sally Up” Pax performed plank in the up and down positions to the lyrics of “bring Sally UP….bring Sally DOWN”
  • “Baba O’Reilly” by The Who. Pax performed a continuous set of Imperial Walkers to the tempo of the music. The last 45 seconds Pax moved to SSH in increasing tempo

  • “Get Low” by DJ Snake. Pax would perfom squats to the lyrics “Get low, low, low, low…ba da da dah da”
