Q: Pipeline
Nine HIM gathered at the highest point on Colonial Ave. in a desperate search for some moving air. Their quest did not end in success, but nevertheless, they succeeded in strengthening their bodies and minds and becoming better in all aspects of their lives.
Warmup: Capri Lap. We were in the middle of a nice set of exercises when Cat Scratch pulled in and threw off Pipeline’s rhythm, causing the group to engage in a series of high-speed Windmills to bring Cat Scratch’s heart rate up to the desired level.
Then it was over to the pull-up bars, where pairs of men did three sets of five pull-ups (pull-ups or chin-ups, assisted or not) in between sets of Big Boys.
Yog to the upper parking lot. There was no breeze, but the view was nice.
The Thang: Escalator. PAX do stacked sets of exercises separated by a run across the parking lot.
1st round: 20 burpees
2nd round: 20 Superman merkins, 10 burpees
