Hammerin Hank Day at Flatline

YHC offered to substiq at Flatline for Sassy when he asked yesterday at VI.  YHC was inspired by a recent tweet from someone who encouraged pax to post at different AOs and get out of your comfort zone.  Plus it had been a while since working out downtown – using road construction as my excuse.

It was an ideal condition morning with the Moon and Jupiter overhead.  7 pax joined me and some were apparently surprised not only by my rare appearance at Flatline but also that I was the Q.

The Flatline pax raise a high bar for beatdowns and YHC tried to fill those shoes.  In Flatline tradition at the appointed time we immediately began our adventure.  We travelled 1st St to the Ball Park.  When we neared it, we modified our run into some Apollo Creeds, Butt Kickers, Hi Knees and Cariocas.

We then discovered some conveniently placed instructions in the parking lot at the bottom of the grassy knoll.  YHC explained that on this day in history, Hank Aaron – YHC’s favorite baseball player hit his first of 755 home runs.  Our goal was to perform 755 exercises.  The first 700 were as follows:

50 each of first exercise at bottom of hill – run up to the top and perform 50 of the second

1 Merkins/Squats

2 LBCs/Seal Claps

3 Carolina DD/Rt Lunge

4 Low Dolly/ Lft Lunge

5 Jack Reachers/ Monkey Humpers

6 Plank Jacks/ OH Claps

7 Cobra Humpers/ SSHs

Then for the last 55 – 5 burpees at each of what ended up as 10 islands in the parking lot and one more set back at start point.  Just enough time to run back to launch point for a little Mary.

Mary was pax choice with LBCs, some 90 degree foolishness by Greenspan, more burpee foolishness from Thistle and planking with merkins from Dr. TC.

6:15 and we’re done.

Good to see a few old faces that YHC had not worked out with in a while including Lysol, Butter and Beverly

It was a strong group that leaned a little toward the respect side but you would never know it.  Thistle and Root Canal are always impressive

Cheesesteak gets his money’s worth on lunges

Lysol joined us by RIRO or perhaps WIWO.  #didnotknowhehadmoveddowntown

Butter’s Hair was there although I seem to remember it being darker

There were no falls on the hill but a few slides

Flatline pax don’t plank for the six they run in the parking lot

1st St is a bad hill to climb coming home after all that
