Full Moon at Dogpile

With a clear cool morning from yesterdays high winds YHC was setting up for a mosey tour for the southern portion of Dogwood Dell. With the men coming from all directions, breakfast club folks coming in from the south east cars pulling in to go time here is what went down:

COP

We moseyed to the bottom of the hill near the pump house and circled up for the following warm up exercises: 20 SSH (we will save NK’s for another day), 15 slow DQ’s, 10 Helicopters, 15 Armcircles (10 small, 5 big), Reverso 10 small 5 big. 20 LBC’s 15 scorpions and 20 merkins. We are ready to roll!

THANG

We mosey 3 lights and start a group BLIMPS work out where we complete the following:

B-5 burpees L-10 lunges(each leg), I – 15 Imperial Walkers, M-20 merkins, P-25 Plank jacks and S-30 Squats —BLIMPS for the faster participants, they would plank while the remaining PAX completes the reps. We Mosey 3 lights and repeat and we do this until we get to the bottom of the Triangle of pain. We perform one more rep at the bottom and that would make 5 BLIMPS.

Triangle of Pain – We start at the bottom of the Triangle with a Bernie Saunders to the Crop Circle and lunge to the next intersection run down the hill and Dealer’s choice(Some ran, Kariokied(Sp), Bear Crawled or Bernie Saunders again) for the next two reps to the crop circle Lunge to the intersection then run down the hill. Some of the faster PAX was on their 4th rep so YHC rescued these folks to return to the crop circle. We performed 20 SSH waiting for the six. At this time DTH, Draper and Bleeder peeled off to go to Gridiron)

We mosey to the Stage and each person picked up a coupon and YHC led some Coupon Calisthenics with 20 sit up presses, Boat Canoe variations, 2 sets of 20 chest presses, stretch to the right then to the left. We partnered up for touch a tree where Partner 1 ran and touched 6 different trees and Partner 2 – did American Hammers with the coupon. It was great partnering with Olivander…He looked for some trees! We switch for one round of fun then return the coupons.

We mosey down the Bowl and up the hill to the stone wall for some Donkey Kicks (10 reps) and wall sits. We did 3 rounds with Swirly helping on the slow count for the last wall sit. Mosey back to the flag.

Numberama, Namerama and YHC took us out.

Announcements – Please keep Wild Thing in your prayers and we are thinking of Nancy Lopez…hope to see you both in the gloom soon.

It was an honor to lead this morning gents have a great weekend!

Cheers – CB

Moleskin – Breakfast at ET’s was great this morning, really enjoy this workout as we typically accomplish all 3 F’s. That said, we need to make sure everyone has access to the website and can log in to provide post responses, make announcements, etc. With out the F3 APP this can be more challenging. So I look to the Computer gents to help out in this arena.

Also DTH is going to Dirt Church tomorrow if that is on the tour bucket list, may be a great weekend to get the bike ride in!

  1. Corned Beef!!! Your workouts NEVER disappoint. Excellent job and love the Blimps Around The World. Kudos to Swirly for bear crawling and polar bearing up Dealers Choice Hill. Monster effort by Hitch Hiker bear crawling. And Bone Thugs was hauling today! Seemed like evertime I turned around, he was sprinting. Well done men!!

  2. Good Q CB. Haven’t done BLIMPS in a while. Good to partner with Snuff and that this wonderful name stuck.
