YHC has rolled out a workout fondly called The 700 Club at several AOs. Lately there had been several Pat Robertson references, but it was first conceived at my one and only Flatline Q when we ran to the ballpark and celebrated Hank Aaron’s anniversary of either breaking Babe Ruth’s record or maybe it was his first ML HR.\u00a0 Whatever the occasion there were 700 reps followed that day by 55 burpees to get us all the way to 755.<\/p>\n
There have been some modifications in the exercises – notably adding rocks or kettlebells to one end but basically the same idea.\u00a0 Two ends of a parking lot or hill 7 exercises on each end x 25 reps per round x 2 rounds of each exercise.\u00a0 That gets you to 700 and today in honor of Hank’s passing we were bringing back the burpees.\u00a0 With no pax knowing what was in store 4 others showed up anyway.<\/p>\n
We began with some of the standard warmorama finishing of course with Dry Dock Crabs.\u00a0 It was a less than stellar performance.\u00a0 YHC called it quickly and we moseyed to the well lit lower lot to find two cardboards with instructions.\u00a0 While YHC set up music pax gathered rocks.<\/p>\n
The task then began.\u00a0 Exercises consisted of<\/p>\n
Rock side<\/p>\n
Swings, Curls, Squats, Dead lifts, Overhead press, Bent over rows and Floor to shelf (L\/R)<\/p>\n
Body weight side<\/p>\n
Merkins, LBCs, Plank Jacks, Low Dollies, Monkey Humpers, Freddie Mercs and SSHs<\/p>\n
When finished we were at 735 reps – we knocked out 5 more burpees after rocks were put up, 5 at the stop sign and 10 somewhat modified (hey – Hank got his last HRs as a DH in Milwaukee).<\/p>\n
Done about 1 minute over but I think we started a minute late.<\/p>\n
NMM<\/p>\n
Sour Mash and Boomerang were confused when YHC drove away at about 5:20 after getting out of car.\u00a0 Plan was to stop at the lower lot and leave the cardboard but forgot.\u00a0 Still had time to get there and back #confusetheidiotsearly<\/p>\n
It was looking like the three early risers would be it but Harden and Little Piggy rolled in at a little before Spicoli time.\u00a0 Spicoli however did not roll in at all<\/p>\n
Boomerang and Little Piggy were the Larry Birds of the day but Mash, Harden and YHC were not far behind<\/p>\n
There seemed to be a skunk nearby – we debated if the smell of the dead one in the road up near Ronni’s could be drifting that far, or if there were two, or if Mash had been into the moonshine last night<\/p>\n
Good to see Harden is out of quarantine<\/p>\n
Music was a little soft but YHC figured it out and got the old school rock going – playlist ranged from Molly Hatchet to Amy Winehouse.\u00a0 Pax seemed to approve<\/p>\n
As YHC was leaving thought I spotted 2 “former” WeFoCo pax – Rameses and Quiver #running bromance<\/p>\n

YHC took us out and tried to get the pax to respond to “There will come a day when I’m not able to be out here”\u00a0 with “But today is not that day”\u00a0 They were weak in their response but strong in their work today.<\/p>\n
