After a few nice low humidity mornings, it was back to reality at The Rubicon. However, still does not compare to the humidity I experienced last week at Hilton Head. Plus 80 degrees at 6AM with a heat index of 87 is no joke! Speaking of Hilton Head, I enjoyed spending some time ITG with our brothers at The Yacht Club there so much last week. Did you know that HHI has pyramids? That’s right, they do. And they were so awesome, I decided to bring them back to The Rubicon for all to enjoy!
Warmup:
Imperial Walker, Weedpicker, SSH, Windmill
The Thang:
After warmup it was to the rock pile to grab a coupon of your choice and then to FOD where the PAX lined up on the 3rd base line and partnered up for a pyramid of pain featuring:
Merkins
Bicep Curls (with Coupon)
Squats (with Coupon)
Partner Shrugs (In HHI they used cinder blocks for Shoulder Shrugs so Ha-Ha helped me come up with an alternative and the Partner Shrug was born – partner one assumes the plank position while partner two shoulder shrugs using partner one’s legs as weight, then flapjack)
Merkins and Curls were done on the 3rd base line and Partner Shrugs and Squats were done somewhere about midfield (or whatever that part of the field would be called) running with your coupon back and forth between sets. A great time was had by all. Counts were as follows:
Merkins and Bicep Curls x 10
Partner Shrugs and Squats x 20
Merkins and Bicep Curls x 30
Partner Shrugs and Squats x 40
Merkins and Bicep Curls x 50
Partner Shrugs and Squats x 40
Merkins and Bicep Curls x 30
Partner Shrugs and Squats x 20
Merkins and Bicep Curls x 10
Next up was a couple of Indian run laps around FOD. Rapid fire ensued as we were rounding out the last lap.
After returning our coupons to the rock pile, we took the scenic route (YHC temporarily got lost) over to the Pavilion to visit another smaller pyramid. This time featuring Step-ups and Dips.
Step-ups x 10
Dips x 20
Step-ups x 30
Dips x 20
Step-ups x 10
Back to the flag for some quality time with Mary which included (but was not limited to):

COT:
Prayers for Mayhem’s father who is having surgery next week.
3rd F opportunity this Saturday. See poll on Slack to sign-up or reach out to Ha-ha or Squeegee.
Such an honor to lead this awesome group of guys! YHC out!
