Bloody Hell at Thunder

/in /by

Pax of 4 gathered for a taste of the old management. Crosby promised YHC would bring the suck so he did everything in his power to oblige.

One 45lb weight plate and one fire hose joined in for the fun.

Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Good afternoons x10 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Mountain Climbers x10 IC

The Workout:

Pax were told to keep the 45lb weight plate off the ground for the entire workout – they weren’t told what the penalty would be but they had a good guess.

John Cusack the plate and fire hose to the playground.

2 pax do pull ups, 2 hold plank (one with weight on their back). Switch, rinse and repeat until all pax have done 25 pull ups.

John Cusack the plate and fire hose to the amphitheater.

Lazy Dora with the 45lb plate in tow – pax partnered up and between the two:

100 merkins – plank hold while not doing merkins

200 squats – squat hold while not doing squats

300 LBCs – 6 inch leg hold while not doing LBCs

Que the quotes of the day:

”Bloody hell” – every time someone told Brexit he had another round of an exercise to do.

”It’s never been 6 inches” – Pax not to be named

After the lazy Dora the pax John Cusack’d the plate and hose over to the white fence on the other side of the soccer field.

Partner 1 does Dirkins on the fence – 7 on the bottom rung, 7 on the middle, 7 on the top. Partner 2 holds a plank. Switch and repeat.

John Cusack down to the other end of the white fence for Irkins – 10 on the top rung, 10 on the middle, 10 on the bottom, and 10 on the ground (full blown Merkins).

After these Irkins YHC “accidentally” dropped the 45lb plate (and was quickly called on the “accident”) so the pax got to all enjoy 5 burpees 🙂

John Cusack to the tennis courts for Mary.
Mary:

Yoga – reverse table top twice, lingering for ~5 seconds.

Go into downward dog, rocking heels into ground.

Swing leg through to runners pose, dropping down onto back knee and forearms. Switch and repeat on other side.

Back to downward dog, rocking heels again.

Swing leg through to pigeon pose, again dropping down onto back knee and forearms. Switch and repeat on other side.
Announcements:

Holly Springs half shirt order is live. CSAUP in Carpex on Saturday.
Prayer:

Praises for Noah’s Ark’s recovery.

 

Always an honor and privilege to lead – thanks men.

For Those About To Rock – Possum Trot

/in /by

Twelve PAX, including one 2.0, decided to heed the call of “rocks” today at Possum Trot.

Dauber finally got a chance to help lead this site after two weeks of work meetings on the road. No FNGs.

Warm Up:  Jog around tennis courts to the lower section.

A handful of Michael Phelps while PAX circled up; 20 Side Straddle Hops; 10 Hill Billie’s immediately followed by 10 Imperial Walkers; 10 Windmills; 10 Cotton-Pickers; 10 Good-mornings

The Workout:  Partnered up and moseyed to the small hill on the left and begin “11’s” with Merkins on the bottom of the hill and LBCs on the top.   Moved back to the warmup area – one partner performed step-ups while the other partner bear-crawled around the pavilion; swapped and repeated.  PAX moved to the driveway lining up in two lines.  Along the march up the hill, PAX performed Gate-Opens (bringing back CC memories from Double-D), 5 Burpees, Frankensteins, deep lunges, karaoke (left and right sides) until we reached the parking lot.  R-22 was kind enough to point out the porta potty but no PAX needed to adjust gross weight.   Each PAX grabbed a rock and lined up in one row back at the start of the parking lot.  Rock exercises were executed flawlessly by all PAX across the parking lot.  PAX moved four steps after each rock exercise was performed.  The following Rock exercises were performed (10X) curls, overhead press, chest press, rut-ro’s, alternating hand on rock merkins, (REPEAT), triceps curls, goblet squats -(making sure toes/soes/whatever Dauber was trying to say were pointed outward); Homer-to-Marge; more arm curls until PAX made it to the opposite end of the parking lot.  PAX dropped their rock and began to bear crawl up the larger hill holding plank by the guardrail until the 6th made it to the top.  Awesome effort by all PAX, including Messi!   PAX grabbed the guardrail and cranked out 5 derkins, 5 dips and 5 erkins.  Hopped over the guardrail and jogged down the sidewalk back to their rock.  PAX held squat until 6th came in.  RINSE and repeat.  PAX cranked out 10 merkins waiting on 6th.  Time to wrap things up.  PAX began John Cusak around the tennis courts returning our rocks.

Mary:  Early arrivals to the tennis courts held balls to the walls; PAX circled up for a cool down focusing on Yoga stretches.  PAX got into downward dog, pigeon, warrior 1 and 2, and various other leg stretches.

Announcements:  Odyssey this weekend; HSHM; Deadbolt’s boat ride list – sign up early, spots are going fast.  Happy early birthday to Messi.

Prayer:  Romans 10:8-17. …Everyone who calls out to the Lord will be saved.

Lots of PAX nursing some leg injuries preparing for the HSHM – get healthy men!  Prayers for Crab Legs.  Nemo & Dauber shared the tragedy of a Cardinal Gibbons junior girl who died yesterday morning while driving to school.  As a parent of two teen drivers, this is one of my biggest fears / worst nightmares.  Love those around you, live life to the fullest, be kind, help others, for we are not in control.

F2:  Stick Boy – 6 PAX enjoyed some fellowship post the workout laughing it up over man wallets and coin wallets amongst other important topics of the day.

It remains a huge honor to lead all of you PAX.  -Dauber
