The Bunny and the Bear

Easter weekend.  A full moon on the horizon.  A beautiful brisk morning.  A perfect setting to bring 17 men including an FNG Roll Tide’s son (Gilmour) and Riptide from Carpex to the Bear at New Bern High School.  After the back beatdown from Unicorn the day before, the QIC needed to stretch out the front side of our upper bodies to balance things out.  After botching the F3 mission statement and disclaimer for our FNG, the clock struck 7am and we jumped in.

Wide Cotton Pickers x 10

Sun Gods x 10 (reverse x 10)

The PAX seemed to appreciate the extra stretching and warm up as it was perfect preparation for The Thang.  We did a quick mosey over the front field for a series of bunny hop ladders:

After a quick 10 count we gave the chest a break with some Over/Under work:

Circuit 6

We formed a Plank Line with each man taking turns bunny hopping down the line.  After completion, we pulled the plank in a little tighter (more of a pike plank) and each man crawled through the tunnel of love.  The shoulders were burning after that one.
