Preamble:
YHC showed up for the PR.
Inspired by the Hurricanes' Stanley Cup victory, I went with a cinder BD. I brought five, so no one had to share.
The 'Canes would lift a cinder over their head at the end of any practice, game or workout. They have done this years, the coach never told them that the cinder weighs about the same as the Stanley Cup.
Warm-O-Rama:
- Mosey to the spot
SSH
Imperial Walkers
Michael Phelps
Willie Mays Hayes
Blue Collar Press: One pax hoists the cinder like it is the Stanley Cup, then hands it to the next pax until all have completed one rep each.
The Thang:
- 10 Cinder Block Shoulder Press (both hands, press overhead)
- 10 Merkins (regular or hands on block for incline)
- 12 Cinder Block Curls (both hands or alternating)
- 10 Block Webs (deadlift -> bring to chest -> press to forehead/overhead)
Mosey to the end of the field and back
- 12 Goblet Squats with block (hold at chest)
- 10 Weighted Walking Lunges (block held overhead or goblet) — 20 steps total
- 10 Step-ups holding block (5 each leg) — use bench/curb
- 10 Heavy Freddies (block front raises or hammer-style)
Mosey to the end of the field and back
- 8 Blockees (burpee variation: step/jump over or burpee onto block)
- 12 Russian Twists (seated, pass block side-to-side)
- 10 Block Thrusters (squat -> press overhead)
- 20 LBCs (or 10 IC)
Bring Sally Up (use the timer version so we can each track progress.)
