The Dauber Deception

We had a PAX of 12 for an impromptu game of Ultimate Frisbee (we are hooked)…sorry Pikachu! Welcome FNG Butter Fingers!

Warm Up: It’s called Ultimate Frisbee.

The Workout: Two teams of 6 played in the dark with lots of drops. Each drop we did 3 Merkins during the first half and 5 squats the last half. Each team that scored called out an exercise of 10 from LBC, Freddie Mercuries, Star Jumps, and more Merkins among many others. The faster the exercises are completed, the faster the offense can out maneuver the defense.

The score was close (always within 2 😉 ) but in the closing minutes, the other team pulled a “Dauber Deception” by throwing the kickoff out of bounds and faking the other team out by planking. This caused confusion and the last throw was sent sailing out of bounds to end the game.

Mary: Lots of abs during the game.

Announcements: Kenny’s Grave on Thursday mornings, new Yoda AO is scheduled to start up Tues July 23. Working on specific details to follow.  Dauber turns 50 next week!

Prayer
: Brexit’s friend. Reach out to those PAX we haven’t seen in a while. Gump closed in prayer.

Next Workout: Same Damn thing (only different)

Background:   A buddy recently started working out and told me he did a “fitness test” as a barometer.  I wondered how I’d fare on that test, but I certainly wasn’t going to work out on my own, so figured I’d start Cletus with the test.  Thus, the warmup!

We started with the disclaimer for 2 FNG’s (nice job!), guaranteed we wouldn’t leave them behind, then tore off at a 7 minute pace for the warmup (thanks to the awesome Pax who stayed with the Six)

Warm Up:

As fast as possible, do

  • 1/2 mile
  • 50 SSH
  • 40 Squats
  • 30 WWII
  • 20 Merkins
  • 10 Burpees

Time: 7 min, 6 sec.

Result: YHC was smoked and the rest of the workout was pulling from fumes

Warm Up Part Dos:

20 SSH, 20 Squat Jumps, 20 WWII, 20 Merkins, at a much more reasonable pace

The Workout:

Pt 1:

Indian run to the rocks.  Grab a stationary curling rock and circle up around the volleyball courts.

  • Squat Hold, Overhead Press Rock.  First one in circle throws rock to sand, does a burpee, then runs a lap around the court.  Second man follows after the burpee.  Repeat until all have run a lap
  • Same damn thing, only this time curling the rock
  • SDT, only this time triceps extensions.

Recover with a round of Guantanamo Leg Raises

Followed by Bull Frogs

  • Back to volleyball circle, only this time second man starts after the rock throw (Before burpee)
