Pax of 6 gathered for a very hot Thunder session.

EC: YHC with an easy mile.

Warm Up:

Jog over to grass near amphitheater.

SSH x15 IC

Good afternoon x10 IC

Mountain Climber x20 variable cadence

Arm stretches
The Workout:

Since some of us were sore from the 5 year anniversary beatdown we decided to get all our Merkins out of the way.

Mosey to the nearby hill (directly next to running track) for clockwork Merkins, starting with 12 o’clock pointing towards the track.

12x at 12 o’clock, and then proceeding accordingly clockwise all the way around – 78 merkins

Mosey to playground – ab work to let the heart rate recover:

Low slow flutter x10 IC

LBC x10 IC

To counterbalance all that chest we needed some back, so to the monkey bars we went. 3 pax hold chill cut plank, other 3 each do 10x Pull Ups. Each group went once, then went again with 5x Pull Ups.

Mosey to the rock pile where pax were instructed to get a “medium, non-traveling rock to share”

Circled up for various rock exercises rotating rocks throughout:

7x Deadlifts, 14x cleans, 21x overhead press, 14x putting it all together for the ground pounder

Curls – 7x bottom half range of motion, 7x top half, 14x full range

Tri-ceps – 7x bottom half, 7x top half, 14x full range

Return the rocks and mosey to the metal bars along the walkway near the baseball fields

All pax on bars for upright bodyweight rows – x10

Switch to grass for 10x squats

Repeat rows x10, prisoner squats x10, rows x5, lunges x5 each leg

Mosey back to tennis courts for Mary

Mary:

Mary around the horn – 15 count each (except for the Burpees called by our FNG Urban, only 8x of those. Maybe that’s why the Big Blue fan got that name).

Announcements:

9/11 stair climb
Prayer:

Crab legs. Unspoken.

 

Great work men – hot one out there. An honor and privilege as always to lead.

Sheepdog – “Improv”

15 Sumo squats with leg lift
10 burpees
15 v-ups
20 derkins
Once around the track

Martial arts – pressure points with stick (only had 7 mins left at this point)

Thought of the day: the existence of God is often questioned because of the existence of evil, but if everything was always perfect for us, we would be like spoiled children who could never help anyone else. Therefore rather than having a pity party or asking only that tough things be removed, ask what can be learned, ask God to mold you, so that we can be an encouragement to others. Perfect is promised later, perseverance is needed today.

Prayers: Joel, Noah’s Ark’s son

Thought: If you are ever called into action it will most likely not be because of some bar brawl or street fight. It may be someone with a mental illness or could be a close family friend who’s child is on drugs. Our goal is not to do his most damage as possible but to put people in compliance so they cannot do harm to others or themselves. We have to be ready for that as well.

17 Pax posted. Great Q by Rams

EC: Boy George, Emeril, Skidmark

Warm-up

Mosey to the soccer fields for warmup. SSH, FO arm circles, cotton pickers, imperial walkers, hillbillies. Partner up based on overall ability. Split partners into 2 teams to get evenly matched teams.

Main workout

Each team did a count off to get a number assigned to the pax, and had to perform 20 exercises 1 pax at a time. The pax would bear crawl 10 yards, then sprint to the other end of the soccer field, do the exercise associated with their number (or multiple of that number), then sprint back. Then the next pax would go. The remaining pax would do either 10 merkins, 10 ww2, 10 lsf in cadence, or 5 burpees and then do a squat hold until the pax doing the exercise returned. The 20 exercises were plank jacks, American hammer IC, diamond merkins, monkey humpers IC, Homer to Marge IC, burpees, Turkish get ups, LBC IC, left arm plank hold IC, right arm plank hold IC, star jacks, Carolina dry dock, pickle pounder IC, chilly jacks, Freddie Mercury IC, jump squats, wide arm merkins, Peter Parker IC, deep squats, box cutters. Each was a set of 5. When the team finished all 20 exercises, they ran to the other end of the soccer fields at Womble, and then did a 1 loop Indian Run back to the flags.

Mary

We then did an extended Mary with each Pax contributing 2 exercises for a 5 count each.
