Going Balls Deep

Gents – my apologies for a late post. The firewall at work blocks the F3 site. That coupled with running kids back and forth to practice after work led to the 8pm post. Better late than never.

I digress…

Wednesday, YHC was all pumped up and ready to try his hand at leading the workout following mixed reviews for the 9/11 workout. Unfortunately, YHC forgot how to read the sheet and Johnsville had grabbed the Q. But never fear cheerful readers, since YHC had a workout planned out and the Thursday Timberwolf spot sat open and merry match was made. With a taste of fall in the air, 9 battled tested men joined YHC for the Inappropriately titled “Balls Deep”.

YHC brought a bucket of baseballs to the workout, everybody got a baseball. With ball in hand, we mosey’d for the WarmUp. Warmup consisted of…

• Side Straddle Hops
• Don Quixote’s
• Windmills
• Big arm circles (everyone who attended Johnsonville’s workout Wednesday had sore shoulders)
• Russian Soldiers

YHC’s troubles with the cadence are well documented. But he NAILED IT today. NAILED IT. Following the warm up and collective cheer from the PAX for the accurate cadence, the group mosey’d over to the field for balls deep.

The Thang – The PAX lined up on the sideline for the following –

• Inch Worm with pushup across the field. Toss baseball forward as you move across the field to your next spot.
• On the way back across the field, lunge with squat in the middle, touch the baseball to the grass on the squat.
• Partner up for 100 WWII’s passing the baseball back and forth at the top of the WWII.
• Back to the sideline, for broad jump across the field, touch the baseball to the grass before your jump
• Back on your six for Alabama Prom Dates, hold the ball over your man parts and wish things were bigger
• On the sideline for Fast Paced Russian Soldiers, hold the ball out front and kick the ball straight legged style
• Down to plank position, pass the baseball back and forth for a 30 count. This one was harder than expected. Back on your six for 25 hip dips per side
• To the sideline for burpees across the field, toss the ball, do a burpee, broad jump, repeat
• On your six, for full extension sit ups

YHC was out ideas at this point. A two lap mozey was added to finish the day and then back to the flag for a quick ring of fire. Your choice of 10 push ups.

Announcements:

• Camp out this weekend. If you don’t know about this yet, get your act together
