Star Studded at VI

QIC: SGT Schultz

Date: October 7, 2019

PAX: Bolero, Gucci, Offsides, Schneider, SGT Schultz, THE Singing Cowboy, 60 Minutes, Sour Mash + Spamalot (who joined us for COT after finishing up a run)

WARMARAMA:   Conducted under the picnic shelter on the front side of the YMCA, Warmarama consisted of some quick SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Whirly’s, Abe Vigodas and some stretches.

THE THANG:  YHC set up a typical starfish (the scheme, not the PAX) style workout, with a center pain station located in the center of the infield of the cinder running track on the front side of the YMCA.  The center pain station was equipped with a Weinke full of ab/core exercises.   Emanating (that’s a Prospector sized word!) from the hub were four stations, one at each corner of the field (including the picnic shelter), and a fifth station at the playground monkey bars.  Each outlying station focused on a particular body part:  Shoulders, legs, arms, chest, as well as a pull-up station.   The PAX divided up into four 2-man buddy teams (just to have someone to talk to while we worked out).

The beatdown went as follows:  After performing 20 reps of the first listed Ab exercise in the center pain station, each team moseyed quickly to an outlying pain station, performing 20 reps of the first exercise (with the exception of the pull-up station, were 5 reps were expected).   The shoulder, legs and arm stations were each equipped with an assortment of dumbbells and kettlebells.  Merkins (in various forms) was the order of the day at the chest station.  After completing the 20 reps, mosey back to the center ab station for 20 reps of the next ab exercise, then mosey to the next outlying pain station,  performing 20 reps of the first listed exercise there.  Continue in this fashion, proceeding in a clockwise direction to visit each pain station for an entire round before moving on to the next listed exercise at each station.

By the time 0615 arrived, all teams had completed at least 3 rounds of exercises at each outlying pain station and ran close to 2 miles all told.

We dispensed with Mary since ab/core exercises comprised every other set of exercises during the beatdown.
