Preamble:
Always feeling the weight of responsibility and high expectations, YHC dug deep in his bag o’ workouts and pulled out a Crossfit favorite – the Filthy Fifty.
Warm-O-Rama:
The pax moseyed over to Flushing Meadows for some warm-up. A new location with some new-ish warm-up moves: high knees, side shuffles, butt kickers, bear crawls, and low doses of SSH, merkins, and flutter kicks – to get the relevant muscle groups warmed up.
The Thang:
The men hit the rock pile and grabbed a coupon, then moseyed to a new baseball field for the Main Thang:
The Filthy Fifty
This is a notorious Crossfit workout, intended to be performed as quickly as possible or AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) with a 30 minute cutoff. As the baseball field lacked pullup stations and barbells, I had to modify a few.
- 50 box jumps
- 50 merkins
- 50 kettlebell swings (with coupon)
- 50 walking lunges (with coupon)
- 50 LBC (with coupon)
- 50 Push Press (with coupon)
- 50 Back Extensions
- 50 Skull Crushers (with coupon)
- 50 Burpees
- 50 Jump Ropes (with make-believe ropes)
The PAX seemed legitimately challenged, with a few admitting nausea. Mission accomplished.
Returned the coupons and had 5 mins of Mary. The PAX had forgotten how to count but relearned quickly with some repetitions.
COT:
No FNGs.
