Hungry Like the Wolf(pack)
ExecSum: Survive and Advance. You it on got VHS? Learning to count. Wait til we get to 30. Apply Q School. Dream big.
Warm Up: Horizontal curls (triceps parallel to ground, hands up, curl arms) 15x
Windshield wipers (triceps parallel to ground, hands down, swing arms). Slide Rule grumbled about the difficulty or something, to which I responded, “Wait ‘til we get to 30,” so of course we did 30x.
Werewolf in honor of NC State Wolfpack, 1983 NCAA championship run. Completed today with near-full moon overhead. Werewolf = Downward dog to high plank to upward dog, keeping shoulder blades close together. Then reverse the path, 5x.
Reverse pushups straight from Holly Springs School of Dance, where teens hammer these out no problem. Start in crab position, arms press up/down like a dip. Start with both feet down 5x, then extend one leg 5x, then extend leg to 45 degrees 5x.
Mountain climbers 15x, Failure to launch 7x
Circle burp to “Hungry Like the Wolf,” again a shout out to 1983 NC State Wolfpack. While doing SSHs, each PAX shouts out their college team, which triggers a burpee by the group. Finished the last PAX at 3:30 minutes—Perfect timing!
The Workout: Mosey to amphitheater, where the stage forms a perfect ledge for dips. I called for 11s with dips and derkins. But I quickly modified since keeping count during 11s is a weakness. Modified to 11, 10, 9, etc. on each end, which incited the PAX. Yes, incited, not excited.
More 11s. This time with jump-ups onto the ledge and star jumps. Fresh off of Q school the night before, the Q remembered two items: “time in tension” and ending the workout ON TIME. So, I applied both. PAX really “enjoyed” the SLOW cadence count, especially when we were down to three or so.
Moseyed back to tennis courts for Mary.
Mary: Superman, followed by Australian Snow Angels. Long count. Followed by low slow flutter, again slowly with good form. Pickle pounders. And finally, held Superman until 6:30 am sharp.
Announcements: Check Slack/FB. Work day at Crableg’s house Saturday.
Prayers: Crablegs, Shredder, others. Thankful we’re able to come out here everyday.
Q Message from Survive and Advance: You don’t have to be an NC State fan to enjoy. As we do every March, I enjoyed the program with my family last night. Very engaging and funny and passionate about dreaming big. At first meeting with his players, Coach V announced that he was going to win the national championship. He designated one practice every year to cutting down the nets to celebrate winning a championship. Now that’s vision and dreaming big! His vision became a reality.
I offered my DVD. The Business was disappointed it didn’t come in VHS. Breach took home my copy, hopefully, he has a DVD player. And hopefully, he’ll watch it, be inspired, and share with others.
