Rhabdo Redo

Date: 9/28/22

PAX: Workbench, Turnover, Greenspan

YHC pulled into the parking lot just behind a familiar black Hyundai.  Several minutes later, a thinly layered Turnover emerged from the vehicle mumbling, “Should have stayed in bed.”  Upon Workbench’s arrival, Turnover pulled the Site-Q emeritus card; “If there are less than five, we’re going for coffee.”  YHC, apprehending an impending mutiny, got things started quickly.

Warmarama:

SSHs, Abe Vigodas, Cherry Pies (get those shoulders warm)

The Thang

Mosey to other side of school with an Omaha to visit the new (to YHC) pull-up bars along the side of the school & bus lot.  Then continue mosey to original Mayhem launch area.

Each round, perform pull-ups x 20.  For any reps short of 20, perform that number of reps of the exercise on the weinke.  Then take a lap around the parking lot together.  Exercises were:

  • Hand-release Hurpees
  • Bonnie Blairs
  • Gas Pump + Low Dolly combo
  • Dive Bombers
  • Lt. Dans
  • V-Ups
  • World War 3s

Mosey home for 3 minutes of Mary:

  • Knee Slides
  • Cobra Crunch
  • ISTs
  • Plank Jack Shoulder Taps

Time Expires.

NMM:

  • A version of this workout previously appeared at Conspiracy. One pax emerged from that workout with rhabdo in his shoulders.  Interestingly enough, that pax texted YHC at 0514:  “Was gonna surprise you and show up this morning, but the body is telling me no.”  Good move.
  • PSA:  Meadowlark is still an active disaster area and has even displaced the herd of deer that used to frequent the area.
  • The Mayhem AO is actively adding new equipment for workouts. YHC was pleasantly surprised to be made aware of pull-up bars (hence the abbreviated detour), an obstacle course, and a steel cage for a game the kids are playing these days.
  • Workbench inquired if TO had started training for the black loop. Similar to YHC’s partner, TO responded that he was planning on starting in July.
  • Turnover murmured about dinguses and irresponsible kids who leave their clothes on the playground.
  • The guys were apprehensive about any leg exercises in anticipation of Iron Pax round 4 tomorrow.
  • We all reached a failure point at around set 4 and persevered through the remainder while experiencing good second F on the ~200m mosey after each set.

Thanks for the keys Workbench.  Left them with some of the discarded clothing at the playset.
