The PAX assembled at 0530 without a Q so YHC took over unscripted. Forgot to give the disclaimer for the FNG. Mosey with bell to the flag pole for COP:

Mosey over to the blocks for THE THANG:

Those without a bell grabbed a block and we started the Longest Lap:

Lunge about 50 meters with bell/block

overhead carry for 50 yards

Then off to the side on the practice football field

Thoses with bells did 10 Scotty Bob’s each side

Those with blocks did Man-makers until Scotty Bob group was done

Switch groups so all PAX got to do both Bob’s and Man-makers

Heading West along the practice field, bear crawl with coupon pull-through for about 40 yards. @Tinker with an impressive @Mogul imitation

Then Moguls x 5 as we waited for the six

Back to the track for a Duck walk with coupons for about 50 yards, then overhead press around to the paved area just west of the bleachers

Hand-release merkins x 20 IC

WWI’s x 20

Lunge the length of the bleachers (Did 5 side lunges both left and right after passing the the mid point of the bleachers)

Blocks were then put back and the PAX lined up for Morning Call as each PAX did 5 dips while the rest of the PAX did 5 squats with the Bell or 5 Monkey Humpers.

Mosey Back to the flagpole for some Mary:

Reverse Crunches x 25

Flutter kicks x 25 IC

Heel touches x 10 IC

Camp Willis Back Blast

COP

Mosey to tennis courts: Burp-o-cide:  suicide with burpees at each line INCLUDING the start line.  Started with 5 burpees per line and decreased by 1 burpee each suicide for 5 sets total. @Mogul took the lead and maintained all the way through. Unless my math is off, we did 120 burpees and ran the length of 100 tennis courts.  That’s a good bit of work. I think we all caught up at least a little on @Fresh Prince during his vacation.

Mosey to the track for

flutter kicks x 25 IC

merkins X 10 IC

LBC x 25 IC

Run serpentine bleachers on small steps

Peter Parker merkins x 10 IC

Mosey to the flag for one more set of flutter kicks

I had a different plan for the track but inadvertently doubled our burpees on the tennis courts. You are welcome.

Great weather for great effort this morning. Always an honor to lead this group. Thanks for the push!

Westgate Backblast 04.15.2019

Just realized as I typed out the date that it’s tax day and I didn’t even think to do anything for it. Oh well. We taxed ourselves enough as it is.

QIC: Ball Bearing

Pax: Silverado , Spitz

Shot out of bed like a bolt of lightning when the alarm went off and the light came on (smart light bulbs are the secret weapon to getting out of the fartsack. Sometimes). Then the reality of Star Course +2 sank in a little and I made my way to get ready for the morning. Thankfully I did a quick weather check to see that it was 35° and slightly cooler than I was expecting. Did a quick wardrobe change over and made my way downstairs with an Advil pit stop before I made it out the door.

The Thang: 10x SSH (my left foot is the last one to let go of the pain from the weekend and it was all I had in me first thing). Followed by a cotton pickers series, cross leg hangers, sun gods and some more.

Mosey around the parking lot to loosen up a little and then went to gather the bricks.

25 reps each: Curls, Over head Press, Good Morning, lateral raises, Brick Merkins, American Hammers, 2 count flutter kicks (brick up), LBC, WWI.

Returned the bricks and short mosey to a park bench. 25 dips each while the Pax held elbow plank to wait their turn.

Another mosey to the front steps of the rec center and did 25 shuffle steps (both legs) and 35 high knees.

Mosey around the building and finished with protractors in the parking lot.

It felt good to move and get all of the weekend funk out of my system. By the end I started to feel very loose. Hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite me later.

Prayed for the day and made our way home. Thanks again for following my lead and come out Thursday for more.
