Thunder YOGA w/ 19 PAX

/in /by

FNGs:  Welcome Jukebox, future patrolman who loves to sing.  Thanks for bringing this young man out Pumpkin Spice.  Good to see your college basketball playing, former HS Hawk XC star, Cobbler, out to the gloom too.
Warm Up:  many PAX participated in VC.  Bike ride +10 miles.  PAX moist.
The Workout:  YOGA, much needed.  Look, I will simply attach a pic of the movements we executed.  Special thanks to Cancun who provided the play by play and color commentary of all the moves attempted.  I tried finding the prisoner terminology he used on this sheet I downloaded from the internet but was unable to locate the verbiage.  I will defer to Cancun for his intimate experiences.  Quite flexible for a 6’4” 260 pound dude.  Awesome.  The much anticipated spread Eagle was executed flawlessly by many.  Only a few PAX let out some flatulence.
Mary:  lots of stretching, balance stuff.  Full 45 mins of pure awesomeness IMO.
Announcements:  CSAUP, Murph, bed build, 5Ks, see Slack/FB
T-Claps (Recognition):  Happy Birthday Cancun!  All PAX killing it during May challenge.  Remember to listen to your body and REST.
Prayer:  Interrupted by geese, goslings and churlish children, YHC chided them and finished up in thoughtful, loving prayers only a seasoned parent could pull off.

Rock Swap Fail

/in /by

Great group out there today. Solid EC as a bunch of us stuck together on a strong pace. After almost 4 years, and countless times posting at PT when it was the only show in town on Wed, this was the first time I took the Q.

FNGs: None today, so no extra points for any PAX
Warm Up: Jog around tennis courts, circle up for exercises. All you need to know is we did Good Mornings and we did ICx20. Several other typical moves to prepare for workout.
The Workout: Moseyed around courts to select a rock that would be a good challenge with focus on bi/tri and Wonder Bras. We lined up at one end of the lot and we did bis/tris ICx20, then a run to far end where we did tempo squats ICx10. Back to rocks and repeat. Did this 3 times. Next we lined up across from an accountability partner and we did Wonder Bras ICx20, followed by a shoulder burn holding out on 10 count – Fazio 10 forward, 10 count hold, Fazio 10 reverse, 10 count hold, Seal Claps ICx10, 10 count hold, Overhead Claps ICx10, 10 count hold. Recover on the Michael Phelps. Repeat. Shredder pulled a rock swap and delivered his slightly heaver rock to me, and Cancun quickly joined the swap by trading out with me and dropping a behemoth at my feet. Staring down at that thing I had to decide if another round was in order, or if time was ticking and it was time to return the rocks. Truth be told, the plan was to be done, and so I stuck to it, but I did Cusak that piece of shit back to the pile as a show of good faith. By the way, very little chance I was gonna survive another round of Wonder Bras with that thing. Returned the rocks and moseyed down to the field house and did alternating BTTW and tempo dips.  3 rounds and nice job by Pots going 1 handed. Circled up for a quick set of SSH ICx50. Moseyed back to tennis courts lined up at one end and did merkins ICx10, Bear Crawl across court 1, shoulder taps ICx0, Bear Crawl across court 2, Nipplers ICx10, Bear Crawl across court 3, Plank hold 10 count. Lots of action out there today, lots of constant movements, very few recovery. Ended up logging 1 mile even while moving our way around the park.
Mary: Multiple rounds of LBC, Homer to Marge, 6 Hold and Low Slow Flutters
Announcements: Picnic, Fram on Q at TB, Warbucks on Q at Disney, Shredder preparing for Memorial Day Murph
T-Claps (Recognition): Everyone, all PAX really put in the effort this morning. We kept moving and worked hard start to finish.
Prayer: Fram shared upcoming travel to reconnect with family he has not seen in 2 years. Tend to forget how the pandemic might have isolated some folks and led to these long gaps in sharing time together. Shredder took us out.

Dirty Dozen at Prison Yard Thinking About Stirrups

/in /by

FNGs: No, but welcome back kotter, Tim (Hoege?) a.k.a. Cream of Corn (originally from NE, named in SW 4 yrs ago)
Warm Up:  Many PAX got their point and ran for two miles (~20 mins).  Dumbo missed us at 5:05 am and ran on his own; I overhead him saying waiting in the driveway for Pablo who never came out.  Hope Pablo is OK.  Circled up for the following exercises:  good am, SSH, daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios, seal claps, o/h claps, Mike Phelps…
The Workout:  The warden brought many dumbbells ranging in weight from 15 lbs to 50 lbs.  An index card with a few exercises were written down as a suggestion (implied 10 reps) and dumbbells were spread out over the parking lot.  A 20 lb stretchy thing was added, as well as a cinder block and jump rope.  See pic for details of exercises.  The time keeper was  the 50 lb dumbbell.  Note this 50 pounder was either carried by itself or farmer’s carry (Two 50 lb dumbbells).  Some brave PAX tried the farmer’s carry including Warbucks, Cupid, Shredder…(apologies if I left out anyone).  PAX had to carry the 50 lb dumbbell around the parking lot.  While this was going on, PAX cranked out their respective exercises with their specific weight/tool/coupon.  If no tools were available, PAX were instructed to do core exercises.
Mary:  Circled up for 6 inches, box cutters, and static stretches that included some work on the groin area.  Lots of mumble chatter about stirrups.  It was quite the visual.  Cream of Corn may not come back for another four years.
Announcements:  JOCO CSAUP. Murph on Memorial Day, Bed builds, 5Ks coming up…
T-Claps (Recognition):  PAX showing great effort today especially with the farmer’s carry
Prayer:  Dumbo took us out – thank you!  Prayers for an infant born too early who gave joy to his family for a handful of weeks…..automatically gone to heaven; UNSPOKEN
Thanks PAX for helping me load/unload my car this am.

Honored to lead (Forgot to say the Pledge of Allegiance – thinking about the stirrups I guess).  -Dauber

10 Pointers at Mutiny

/in /by

First time Q for me at Mutiny. Been there several times over the years but never took lead. Was great to combine with Red October for EC, w/u, Mary and COT.

FNGs: No, but we had an FNG at Red October, welcome Murdoch
Warm Up: combined with Red October
The Workout: Indian Run to get things moving. Selected rocks and started with curls and tris from 20 to 15 to 10 to 5.  Shifted to the 10-pointer. Did 10 on the 10 count. This is full motion move starting with a squat, curl, tri press, back to chest press, curl down and end back down in the squat. Slower count, focus on form. Then we did a Bear Crawl halfway back up the road and jog the rest to a plank hold, 20 SSH IC, and 10 tempo squats. Mosey back to rocks and repeat (I think we ended up doing 4 full sets). Headed over to tennis courts and did a shoulder burn as we waited for Red October.
Mary: A couple quick moves called by YHC and Breach
Announcements: Upcoming picnic, check slack and make plans.
T-Claps (Recognition): Rainmaker coming back out, great work this morning
Prayer: Breach took us out
