Ring of Fire Around The Village

AO: The Village

YHC arrived at The Village with a minute to spare planted the Iron Flag and announced the 1 minute warning to 2 other PAX who reluctantly exited their vehicles due to the arctic conditions. As the start time approached there was a flurry of activity as the rest of the PAX rolled in! Brownbag planted The Village Shovel Flag and the perfect number  of 7 was achieved  (perfect  because there remains only 7 cinder blocks and 7 pavers on the coupon pile).

Conditions: 34 degrees, clear skies

5:29: One Minute Warning

5:30: Proper Disclaimer

COP: 25 SSH IC; 16 Imperial Walkers IC; 15 TTT IC; 15 Windmills IC; 22 Merkins IC; 15 Little Baby Arm Circles IC;  15 LBAC Reverse IC; 15 Cherry Pickers IC; 20 Tempo Squats IC

The THANG: Ring of Fire -PAX circled up with their coupon and PAX #1 calls out exercise (with or without the paver) and leads 10 reps of the exercise. Then PAX #2 leads same exercise for 10 reps, then PAX #3 leads. . .etc, etc until PAX #7 completes the Ring of Fire for a total of 70 Reps

Ring of Fire#1 – CURLS (Quaker) . . . Mosey to next corner of Parking Lot with blocks

Ring of Fire#2 – Tempo Block Squats (Crankbait); Note: Vit D took the liberty of modifying the 2nd set by having PAX hold Block over head; Humpback modified to regular Squats with Block;  and Beefsteak brought full circle and did low & slow Tempo Block Squats for his set. , , Mosey to next corner of Parking Lot with blocks

Ring of Fire#5 – ManMakers (ABrownbag) – everyone loved the enthusiasm, however, YHC had to modify after 1st set of 10 reps. . .each proceeding PAX lead only a 2 count set (purely due to time restraints, otherwise we would have busted out 70 manmakers #nodoubt) . . . Mosey back to Flag Poles

Ring of Fire#7 – Bent-over Rows with Block (Beefsteak).  This was a 4 count exercise, but at PAX #5 Beefsteak called an audible and allowed a 2 count! Buffett (PAX #7) brought it full circle with a slow 4 count set! #welldone . . . Mosey to East Corner of Main Parking Lot
