Intro: Today was the 4th of July Convergence hosted by the men of The Ditch.  Lots of preparation was put into this to make it a success.  4 stations would be set up and each of them would last 15 minutes long with rotation afterwards to make it a 1 hour long workout.

Conditions: mid 70s, humid, no precipitation

Shortcake Special (Before the BC): none

Ruckers: none

FNGs: none

Disclaimer: F3 Summerville is a peer-led, zero-cost non-profit workout group. F3 makes no representations with regard to the skill level of workout leaders, the safety of the exercises performed during workouts, or the hazardousness of the premises upon which workouts are conducted. Participate at your own risk.

COP:
TTT x15 IC

LBAC x10 fwd/bck IC

Merkans x50 OQ

split the PAX into 4 groups.  Group 1 will be with Dabo, Group 2 will be with Friar Tuck, Group 3 will be with Olaf and Group 4 will be with Urkel.  After every 15 minutes the groups will rotate (1 will go to 2, 2 will go to 3, 3 will go to 4 and 4 will go to 1).  Blocks were given to Friar Tuck’s and Urkel’s station.

The Thang: 
Dabo’s station #1: Ultimate Frisbee for 15 minutes. Rotate to station #2 after 15 minutes

Friar Tuck’s station #2: Friar Tucks Palace of Pain. 10 squats with the block, Bearpee across 1st tennis court, Zombie walk across 2nd tennis court, 11 Bobby Hurley’s. Run back to your block, 10 curls for the girls. Rinse and repeat increasing squat and Bobby Hurley’s by 1 rep each time.  Rotate to station #3 after 15 minutes

Olaf’s station #3: a holding position and PAX number ab workout.  For example: the PAX is in a circle and everyone starts in the high plank/merkan position.  Whenever the first person says 1, that person goes down and holds his low plank/low merkan position.  The person to his right says 2, that person goes down and holds his low plank/low merkan position.  Person 3 goes, 4, 5…etc. Continue this pattern until you get back to the first person.  Do this workout for flutterkicks, XOs…etc. Rotate to station #4 after 15 minutes

Urkel’s station #4:  Station 4: Stars and Stripes
PAX carried a block and rotated in a star path through 5 stations (The Star): OHP, lying chest press, OH Tri Ext, CftG and blockees. Upon returning to their starting station, they dropped their blocks and went for a little recovery jog down to the power line poles and back (The Stripe).
After the run they returned to their starting station and started round 2. The first round of stations had four reps of each. It increased four reps each round. AMRAP. Rotate to station #1 after 15 minutes

once the clock hit 7am Recover Recover, stow the blocks
