Mary Mary and More Mary at Thunder

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.

Possum Trot -Fun with Rocks

Pax of 17 came out to PT in the gloom this morning

Warm up:

SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good mornings, Fazio Arm Circles, arm stretches and a warning that you’ll need them

The Workout:

All Pax grab a rock and line up on one side of the road

11’s with the rock (brief pause and move away from the houses)

1 merkin with left arm on the rock, bear crawl push the rock to the other side and do 10 squats with the rock, carry the rock back across.  2 merkins with right arm on the rock, bear crawl push the rock to the other side for 9 rock squats.  Rinse and repeat etc.  As always, PICK UP THE 6 when done.

Jog back to the warmup circle and set the rocks down

Set my phone as a marker for the point position who gets to call a 10 count of whatever rock exercise they’d like.  After each 10 count, put the rock down and rotate to the right until a full 17 man rotation is complete.

return the rocks and head to the courts for Mary

Mary:

Circle up for a similar circuit, each pax gets a 5 count of their choice.  Some chose to do a 5 count of 5 count merkins (25 total).  Ended up doing 150 merkins in the regular workout, some pax did EC with 30 more after the workout for good measure.  Q and Pax were sufficiently smoked at the end of the workout.

Announcements:

Pain truck next week at PT, Wrangler will have his VQ the following week at PT, PT is cancelled on the 4th of July in favor of supporting the convergence.

Prayers:  From Skidmark – Family that lost their father to cancer.  Moby – Friends brother in law died in his sleep.  Prayers for both families

Scripture: Luke 15:3-7 –Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
