Combat Ball
20 minutes of 4 on 3 Combat Ball: PAX split into teams and used a 10lb medicine ball to play basketball. Rules: There are no rules except you can only take 3 steps before having to pass the ball. Fouls were not penalized, very few (if any) goals were made outside of 3 feet, the ball was slippery and heavy, Gump almost took one to the face, but everyone had a great time.

My Boobies Are Real
I had a playlist queued up and ready to go for today’s tabata style workout. It was, unsurprisingly, a heavy metal mix that I was really looking forward to. Opeth was going to be playing and I love Opeth. Well, that all completely changed when I rolled up to the AO and got out of my car to find Gump and Forceps dancing in the parking lot to OPP. I quickly found a 90’s rap and hip hop playlist on Spotify and got that ready. Spotify and I disagree on what should or should not be on a station like this but we listened to it anyway. It was, after all, the source of this title.
FNGs:
Not today
Warm Up:
SSH x20 IC
Daisy Picker x10 IC
Windmill x10 IC
Imperial Walker x10 IC
Hillbillies x10 IC
Trunk twists x10 IC
The Workout:
As metioned above, this was going to be a tabata style workout. I had let the guys know that I had to get up early to start the smoker so if I was smoking at home we were going to be smoking here this morning, and today’s target was abs.
The cycle was 40 seconds on and 20 seconds off for 6 rounds of these 5 exercises:
Low Slow Flutter
Hello Dolly
Boat/Canoe
Gas Pumps
Australian Snow Angels
I’ve done this workout before with mixed results. This was pretty good. Some interesting music and entertaining mumble chatter, especially from Gump who may be the next big thing in rap music.
Not to leave the combatives out we finished up by doing some striking.
25x single strikes
25x double strikes
25x triple strikes
Mary:
Since we had already done all the ab work we did some legs
Squats x20
Lunges x10 IC
Reverse lunges x10 IC
Announcements:
Pikachu is moving and has requested help. We all just assume that he’s going to put things on his back and run to the new house so if you don’t see a truck you should just keep driving. But if you want to help I’m sure he’d love some.
Prayer:
Cyclops’ son and Shredder’s family are flying back home today from their mission trip
YHC’s mother-in-law’s cancer surgery next week.
Work Those Hips, Boys!
