ATM Machine Open for Business
It was an honor to lead out at Purple Cobra. When this AO started I was skeptical. Excited to have it so close to home, buy was not sure about what was available to plan and have strong workouts. It’s proven to be a great AO, strong leadership, good variety and lots of different guys stepping up to Q. Today was as advertised – heavy on the shoulders. Also, with so many new faces, and my phone resting safely at home, I apologize in advance for not tagging everyone if you were there and not on the list let me know so I can add. We had 19 strong.
Warm Up: Started on the jog around the sidewalk and back to circle up for SSH, Good Mornings, SSH and arm stretch.
The Workout: On the jog to the Goodwill lot we circled up for a set of Fazio Arm Circles. Yes, these are a mainstay at our warmups, but they also make for a great headliner in a shoulder set. Went ICx10 forward and reverse, held out for 10 count then a set of Moroccon Night Clubs for good measure. Recovered on the LBC and repeated this 3x. On the jog top the bank, a few of us made sure to run by Anytime Fitness to get some advertising opportunity. At the bank we did, what else, 3 brutal rounds of ATMs (ICx15 Shoulder Taps, ICx10 Tempo Merkins, 10 count merkins) – 3 sets strong. On the jog behind the Teeter we lined up in 2 lines back in the loading dock area. Jack Webbs but with Patty Cake Merkins for accountability and we worked up in even numbers from 2 to 10 merkins (6 to 30 air press). Focused on a slower count on Air Press to pay attention to form, not speed. Stuck with partner for 3 rounds alternating BTTW and Air Squared to 5 count. On the jog back to start.
Mary: Opened with a few rounds of Annies in the plank then a quick moving set of the MARY classics.
Announcements: So much great stuff going on – catch up on facebook/slack
Prayer: Took a silent 10 count for unspoken and YHC took us out in prayer
Thanks for all the hard work out there this morning. Guys were really pushing themselves. Catch up with me on the Q next week out at Disney as I will be bringing back one of my favorites.
