Introduction
PRE-BLAST FOR MONDAY 6-28-21
(RAIN) COAT OF ARMS
I’m copying an upper body burner from Coat Factory (F3 Geneva) tomorrow.
It looks like rainy in the morning, so let’s just plan on the parking garage from the get-go
Palatine Parking Deck

Bring those coupons and gloves.
I’ll bring coffee.
HC in the thread below and SYITG
Warm-O-Rama
Everyone rolled in right before 5:15am and we began with some tappy taps and batwings in cadence.
We walked through the day’s game plan and stretched arms as we walked down the parking garage
The Thang
Markers were placed in parking stalls every 10 yards showing the exercises required.
Once through the full course, PAX returned to the start line and started all over again. The exercises were:
10 blockees
20 Grave Diggers
30 Skull Crushers
40 Alpos
50 Merkins
60 Over-Head Presses
70 Chest Presses
80 Curls
90 Rows
100 Over-Head Claps
Return to the start and get as far as you can through a second round.
We started the set at 5:22am and at 5:32 most PAX got to somewhere around the 50 yard line to 80 yard line (McDowells) into the second round before time ran out.
We did a short group front to back run around the 3rd floor of the garage with some PAX pushing the pace on their run ups.
We ended with 3 minutes of Mary – American hammers, leg lifts, and Big Boy sit-ups.
Circle of Trust
YHS gave short reflection on the group coming together each week to push each other and show up for each other.
Naked Man Moleskin
I did this workout from Coat Factory (F3 Geneva) at El Zorro and I really liked it.
I knew I wanted to copy it for Base Camp. Preferably outdoors, but the weather was uncertain.
I like how many exercises it includes and the challenge to go further each time it is attempted
Each of the PAX gave it a great effort and pushed the man next to him.
I just wanted to bring a challenge and everyone responded accordingly.
