14 strong PAX posted for a beautiful cool morning to close out Spring Break. The sunrise greeted us as we arrived and huddled up.
The Warmup:
Mosey out to the entrance circle. In cadence:
15x SSH
15x Hill Billy
10x Cotton Picker
10x Merkin
10x Copperhead Squat
The Thang:
Mosey to the rock pile by the soccer field and pick a medium sized coupon. Take coupons out to the field and line up along the goal line for Rock Warrior Suicides OYO. 5-1 ratio between burpees and goal line exercises. Round 1 – Suicides to near penalty box line, midfield, far penalty box line and far goal line with 5 burpees at each field line. For each return to the starting goal line, 25 reps of skull crushers, full curls, weighted squats and merkins, one exercise per return. Round 2 – 4 burpees for each field line and 20 reps for each goal line exercise. Continue to Round 5 with 1 burpees at each field line and 5 reps for each goal line exercise. Boomer, Mufasa, and El Matador were the accelerating PAX for this workout finishing all rounds at impressive speed. Upon completion, PAX circled up to the side for Alphabet Mary to wait for the Six.
Partner up along the goal line. PAX 1 does rock weighted lunges to the near penalty box line and back while PAX 2 does flutterkicks with rock above the chest. Flapjack. Complete 4 rounds. Plank for the Six.
Return rocks to the pile and mosey up the stairs to the bathrooms. Short OYO trail run around the top trail, across the bridge and down to the parking lot trail entrance. Circle up at the flag for Mary. 20 reps each:
