Northeast Tennessee

Chick Peas

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

Clear skies with a temperature in the 50s. Perfect weather for the start of squat week. 12 PAX felt the same way and we had ourselves a good ole fashioned Tuesday smoker. The Floridians looked cold, but deep down they appreciated the temperature as we got things moving.

DISCLAIMER

COP

  • Imperial walkers IC x15
  • Downward dog stretch, followed by a 7 second hold on each calf, into
  • Hip stretch with twist

Dynamic warmup starting at the first light post:

  • Toy soldiers to the second light post
  • Butt kicks back to the first light post
  • Karaoke down and back

A little less dynamic:

  • Shoulder pretzels IC x10
  • Seal claps IC x10

THE THANG

This was a pseudo-warmup, pseudo-thang:

  • 1 round of Octamerkins

Mosey as a group past the pain cave to the sidewalk behind the softball home plate

  • 10 Derkins

[mumble chatter ensued…we haven’t done a squat yet]

Mosey to the middle of the hill. Time for the real thang. Rinse and repeat the following series:

  • Middle of hill: 10 one-legged Pickle Pointers each (modify to 20 with both feet down)
  • Bernie Sanders to the top of the hill
  • Jog to the 4th tree from the top, turn around and sprint back to the top –> 10 Squats
  • Jog to the 3rd tree, sprint up –> 15 Squats
  • 2nd tree, sprint –> 20 Squats
  • 1st tree, sprint –> 25 Squats
  • Jog to the middle of the hill

Pax ranged from 140-220 squats, and some extra leg burn from the Bernieing and Pointing

MARY

  • 1 round of Octamerkins (plank on the 6)
  • Freddie Mercuries IC x15
  • Flutter kicks IC x15
  • LBCs IC x15

MOLESKIN
YHC was phoneless for the last day or so. It’s amazing to see how the device fills tiny voids of downtime throughout the day. I think there’s value in being bored. Leave your phone for an hour a week during a time when you would usually be on it. Experience that boredom. Use it to reflect.
