11 hopefuls welcomed the new NHL season Wednesday @ Quarantine. We attempted to change things up a bit at the end, but no too much. We liked the way the season ended last time out :blush:
 
Warm Up: The Rio Normal, but with added “knee Circles’ which you would have thought I asked everyone to undress.
 
The Thing:
 
3 Periods of grinding out in game like conditions.
 
Sine this is the 2027 Cup year, we did 20 reps of one exercise, followed by 27 of another. The 2 more movements in the same amount of reps. 3 Periods. 1 each for Upper, Lower & abs.
 
1st Period: Mosey to Clock Quad.
 
20 Irkins OYO
27 Dips
20 Carolina Hurricane Dry Docks
27 Standard Merkins
 
PENALTY! Tube Top: 2 Minutes for “Interference”.
To kill off the penalty, we had to do 1 Minute of Side Straddle Hops, followed by 1 minute of Walk Out Merkins
 
Mosey to start of bridge area.
 
2nd Period: Mosey to benches on the bridge.
 
20 L-R Step Ups
27 Calf Raises
20 Box Jumps
27 Squats

Penalty! Spit Valve: 2 minutes for Delay of Game.
1 minute of Apollo Ohnos
1 minute of Plank Hold


 
Mosey to East area beyond the other bridge.
 
20 V-Ups (For Vegas… Losers!)
27 Low Slow Flutters (IC).

Penalty!
Papi; Game Misconduct

1 minute Plank Jacks
1 minute Burpees


Mosey down to formerly hidden, now exposed Coupon wall.
 
Spit Valve was presented the Cup (Brick), where he performed 2 OHP, & passed around to each Pax who took their moment with the cinderblock & pushed up 2 overhead presses each.
 
 
Mosey to “Rio’s Underground Garage” to divide up & pay a round of Hockey Sauce.
 
Team 1 defeated team 2 12-9 (I think).
 
We all did 5 Burpees to call it even
 
Headed back to the flag only 1 min late.
 
COT: Adopt-A-Hwy October 17th. Be There!
 
Prayers for many, but especially Erin Boretti, M of Tube Top. She’s facing eminent diagnosis for Breast Cancer, with many questions to be asked & answered, & months ahead of treatment & recovery.
