Glorious Game of Ultimate Under the Lights

/in /by

FNGs:  none
Warm Up:  Good AM, Frankenstein, SSH
The Workout:  Ultimate 5 on 5, under the lights at Ting park on the pitch; 42 degrees F, raining (moderately)….two teens (Macho Nacho & Frenchie) paired with 6-footers of Norm & Shredder (both with deceptive speed) and SNAP who simply ran everyone in the ground gave a good effort.  Was it enough?  It was tied 7-7 I believe with 3 minutes left until Mary.  Did Kubota make the incredible no-see catch with his glasses fogged/dripping of rain?  Was it the long distance toss/catch between the dynamic duo of Chad “Mahomes” Breach to speedster “can’t catch me”  Pikachu?  Or was is Dauber threading the needle to a diving Gronk-esque Forceps?  You had to be there.  Outstanding game gentlemen.
Mary:  Michael Phelps….trying to stay warm as we circled up.
Announcements:  Beer Ruck; HSPD Toy fundraiser  – keep the $ coming PAX!  FVFD Toy collection – drop off with Sprinkler; Ted Talks with Bacon next Tuesday
T-Claps (Recognition):  All the PAX who embraced the suck this morning!  Thank you!  It was glorious!
Prayer:  Praise – successful surgery 187 M; prayers for Pikachu’s M; prayers for Forceps uncle who recently passed.  Unspoken.  First responders; military.  Dauber took us out.

Had a hard time coming up with a title because the mumble chatter was so minimal this morning. Nice group this morning that worked out and hopefully got the most out of the workout. Workout was no running friendly.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Fazio Arm Circles, Imperial Squats, Hillbillies, SSH. Practiced the three moves that would be used for part of the main event.
The Workout: 45 seconds on/15 seconds rest. Start with 4 reps of each. If you completed the exercises in 35 seconds, add two reps to each. If you didn’t make it in 45 seconds subtract 2 reps from each. Stay with the same reps if you complete the exercise between 35 and 45 seconds. Did this f0r 20 rounds with the following exercises: One arm kettle bell swings, squats, kettlebell snatch burpees.

After 20 minutes move to the wall for one set of Balls to wall and preacher chair with all pax doing 10 count. Added a 20lb kettlebell because no brought anything smaller. In preacher chair pax passed the kettlebell from hand to hand with arm extended. Went down the row and back. Then tried it with balls to the wall :/      Safety First of course.

Circle back up with a round of “Jump” by Van Halen. Squat hold and star jump on the jumps.

Mary: 6 minutes of Plank hold with varying exercises. Finish with have a nice day.

Jump

/in , /by

YHC with the opportunity to post and Q and Thunder for the first time. Not sure what the theme is anymore, is it running, no running, some running? So i figure I’d bring them no running today, because who runs anyway. YHC dug out the shovel flag waited for the Pax to show up. Good crowd, couple surprises. Crosby either posted because he heard I was Qing, wanted to no running, or is building his strength for his marathon training.

On the Tennis courts Burpee broad jump across the courts and bear crawl back. 2 sets
“Jump” by Van Halen was then brought out. Pax hold squat and when they say jump do a Star Jump
Mary: Homer to marge in the correct cadence. Plank hold with exercises: Peter Parker, Parker Peter, Mountain climbers
