AO: Mastodon
Q: Mr Roboto ,
PAX: Tortuga, LeMond, Too Big To Fail (TBTF), Stock boy, Bostaff, Audible, Mr Roboto, Samsonite FNGs:
COUNT: 8
Conditions:
Partly cloudy, but a beautiful 60° with little humidity

**AO setup:** Bring a coupon (cinder block) per PAX.

WOR:
– Imperial Walkers x10 IC
– SSH x20 IC
– Hip circles x10 each direction
– Cherry Pickers x10 IC
– Mosey to the Hamptons

THANG 1:
EMOM. Rotate through the exercises, switching exercises on the minute for 4 sets of 3 cycles:

– Goblet Curtsy Squats x15 (coupon at chest, step behind and down) – Block Sit Squats x20 (squat to tap the coupon, drive up)
– Step-Ups x15 each leg (onto the coupon)

Mosey to the big field at the base of Hoffa.

THANG 2:
Dora with the following…
– Bulgarian Split Squats x100 each leg (rear foot up on the coupon laid flat) – Goblet Squats x150 (coupon at chest, full depth)
– Romanian Deadlifts x100 (hinge at the hips, coupon close to shins)…Some of us didn’t finish these.

We were going to do this last part on top of Hoffa, but instead we went back to the Hamptons.

THANG 3
Run through once; repeat if time allows:

– Block Hip Thrusts (Pickle Pointers) (shoulders on the ground, coupon across hips, drive hips to the sky) while partner does these…
– Side Lunges x~20 to the sidewalk and back (step wide, sit into the hip, coupon at chest)

Back to the parking lot.

Moleskine:
There’s this concept of an “atomic habit.” It’s the smallest step you can take toward creating a bigger habit. I want to be able to do 5 pull ups unassisted. Instead of focusing on that and getting nothing done, I recently put an exercise band up around a solid tree branch in my backyard. Now, every day, I go out and do as many sets of 5 with the band. Eventually, I’ll change bands. One day, with time, I hope to reach my goal.

5-minute increments add up faster than 0-minute increments.
