Stairway to Pain

First time posting at Eagle’s Ridge for YHC so no better way to post than just Q the dang thing. I appreciate ColdCut for letting me do so. Arrived a little bit before 5:30am so planted the shovel flag and took a quick look at the stadium expansion. 3 other PAX arrived, quick disclaimer and it was time to work… then Fruity Pebbles showed up so we had a burpee penalty. Guess he was up late watching Odell torch his Niners ;)

WARM UP

The Thang

Took a nice mosey to the bottom parking lot (Lower Minges). PAX would partner up for a round of BOMBS. Starting at the bottom of the hill, Partner A would run up the hill and back while Partner B began a series of exercises. Partners flapjack until all of the following are complete;

B- 50 Burpees

O- 100 Overhead Claps

M- 150 Merkins

B- 200 Big Boy Situps

S- 250 Squats

Moseyed over to the Pirate statue for a round of 7s (hopefully to help bring a bunch of 7s on the board for the Pirates this Saturday in the toilet bowl). Derkins at the benches near the statue and then squats at the top of the stairs at the Murphy Center

Moseyed over to the other stairwell near Gate 6. People’s Chair for the PAX while rotating individuals would run the stairs on the other side of the Murphy Center. After all PAX got a shot at the stairs, same drill but this time doing Balls to the Wall

Moseyed to the Upper Minges parking lot for light pole suicides. Reps of 15x for each light;

Light 1- Merkins

Light 2- Squats

Light 3- Carolina Dry Docks

Light 4- Alternating Jump Lunges

Light 5- Wide Arm Merkins

Light 6- Squat Jumps

6:15am was fast approaching so back to the shovel flag…

Moleskin
Had a great time this morning at Eagles Ridge. Got lots of leg work in with the hill and stairs… sure PAX will feel it later today trying to move around! YHC has been making an effort to run more so Run Strong has been my Tuesday workout location of choice for the past several months now but it felt good to mix it up a bit on a Tuesday. Great push by all today and thanks to ColdCut for allowing me with the opportunity to lead. Until next time…

Stabler Out!
