Thought this workout up right before the workout with assist from the F3 Nation Exicon page so it was really pulled out of my arse.  Turned out to be pretty taxing on the arms.   The PAX took it in stride with smiles (thank you sir, may I have another!).  The only regret was that Masterload’s 2.0s were not there to enjoy the festivities.  I was really thinking of breaking out the Batann Death March if they were there.  Saving it for another day.

FNGs:  None

COP:  LBACs x20 IC (fwd and reverse), Mountain Climbers x10 IC, PIF Burpees x10 OYO

The Thang:

Mosey to the block pile and get a block

The theme of the workout was upper body.  Each of the exercises engaged the arms in some way.

Routine was to perform a set of exercises at the flag with the block and then proceed to the 4 corners of Doty Park and perform an exercise at each corner. Rinse and repeat.

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, Pledge, COT

Moleskin:  The Q has been busy building a brick patio so the legs were weak. So why not focus on the guns for the entire workout?   That was the plan.  I promised to make the workout “fun” in the preblast.   Hopefully the Pax thought my idea of “fun” was fun.  If not, their arms look a bit bigger now.

The Q ushered in March like a lion going for the double block solution.

WU: TTT, Monkey Humpers, SSH

THANG:  Grab 2 blocks, farmer’s carry, and follow the Q to the back parking lot.   Routine was to perform 10 of an exercise with block, cusak one of the blocks to the other end of parking lot, perform 10 of second exercise and return leaving block at other end.  Rinse and repeat (5 sets) with the Pax carrying the block back to start upon completing last set.

Exercise #1:      Damn Its / Curls for Girls IC

Exercise #2:    Overhead Press  /  Blockees

Exercise #3: Squats /

Farmer’s carry blocks back to flag, take a short lap around the tennis courts.

Double block routines:

Box Jumps x20 OYO  (modify with step ups if necessary)

Abyss Merkins x15 OC

Tricep Dips x20 OC

Stow blocks

Mary: WWI Situps x25 OC, Flutter Kicks x20 IC, Plank for 1 min.

Namerama, numberama, announcements, pledge, prayer requests

Moleskin: Surprise visit from Wambach.  Mobo inherited the Q on short notice and had to scramble to come up with something different.  When that happens, you never know what your going to get.   I think the 50 blockees resulted in some mental hate mail towards the Q.

Moleskin: Had to focus on upper body and core after Tuesday’s Microwave leg punishment at Accelerator.  It seemed like a lot of time was spent in bear holds or bear crawls for some reason.  That does take a toll on the arms and shoulders.
