The Great Pumpkin is Real!

YHC was glad to return to Q his 2nd annual Great Pumpkin workout. I pulled into BLP not knowing what to expect as our area continues to recover from Hurricane Matthew. Past Due and Glaucoma rolled in and the rest of the pax were soon there.

Run at best pace to top of MT Boyd Lee and back to flag.

2 lines were formed at intervals from flag to sidewalk . A Great Pumpkin was handed to each team. One pax does 10 overhead presses while all the other pax are doing squats. Pax with pumpkin then runs to next guy and hands off for overhead presses then runs to sidewalk and does squats. I know it sounds like a typical ambiguous Chuck exercise, but the Pax actually got it.

Pax holds plank on sidewalk, then right arm up, right leg up, left arm up, left leg up.

Great Pumpkin Indian Run. One team heads in one direction around loop and one in opposite direction. Meet at umbrella. Pass pumpkin to end of line and last man sprints to from with pumpkin and hands off.

Line up on fence for peoples chair.

Bear crawl to sidewalk , lunge to fence, sprint back. Rinse and repeat.

Mosey to ball field ( do not forget the pumpkin).

One team does 4 corners starting at 3rd base and one starts at Home plates. At the bases do 21 Plank Jacks, 21 Mountain Climbers, 21 squats , 21 merkins. A different pax takes pumpkin to each base.

Balls to Wall. 10 count by each man starting with Glaucoma. Spinal Tap had an interesting cadence on this one which produced lots of mumble chatter.
