05.07.2024 The Nest 1:4 ratio

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Warm-up: SSH, Sir Fazio Arm Circles (forward and back), Cherry Pickers, Good Mornings, Willie Mayes Hayes, Mosey Lap

Main Event: This morning was especially designed to get long reps of several exercises. At each corner of the block around the park we did a 1:4 ratio exercise except for the Berp & Merk station cause that would have really sucked.  Corner 1: Berp & Merk which was a burpee with the merkin portion of the burpee increasing each time.  Going to 10 so round 1 was a regular burpee, round 2 burpee with 2 merkins, round 3 burpee with 3 merkins etc.  Corner 2: Lt. Dan Taylors.  1:4 ratio of squats to lunges all the way up to 10 squats and 40 lunges.  The goal was to not be able to feel your legs at the end.  Corner 3: Jack Webb, ol’ jack made us do 1:4 merkins to air press up to 10 merkins and 40 air presses. Corner 4: Last but not least was Captain Thors.  These bad boys rounded out the morning with a 1:4 ratio of big boy sit-ups and American Hammers.  So up to 10 big boys and 40 American Hammers to feel that burn deep down inside.

COT: @Finkle’s brother and family during separation from wife and moving out etc. @Nemo loosing mom to cancer.  Prayers for him and the family during this tough time.  On going court case that @Enough is part of with NC State Health plan.

Kenny’s Grave Upper Body from 4.06.23

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

PAX: @Sprinkler, @Finkle, @Si, @Felix

Warm-Up: SSH, Mountain Climbers, Sir Fazio’s, Imperial Walkers and mosey around the parking lot.

Main Event: Did a round of decreasing Sheldon Coopers.  Exercises were Burpees, Squats, Big boy sit ups, Merkins.  Started with sets of 10 took a lap around the parking lot and came back and did 9 in a set and so on.  We stopped after set 6 and down to the ball park bleachers.  We did sets of bleacher merkins, dips, and derkins.  This part really burned the shoulders!

After we finished a few sets we continued with Sheldon Coopers doing sets 5 down to 1.

Mary: can’t remember.

Prayer requests: can’t remember

The Nessssssssst 3.21.23

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , ,

EC: @Finkle, @U.T.I., @Lipstick

PAX: @Sprinkler, @Finkle, @U.T.I., @Lipstick, @Pumps, @Double D

Warm-up: Quick Mosey around the park sidewalk and came back for some Good Mornings, Mountain Climbers, Hillbillies, Downward Dog, and Sir Fazio’s.

Event 1: Navy Seals – tried a new event that YHC has been dreaming up in my spare time.  This was a 20 count seal clap, 20 count overhead clap, 10 merkins, and 30 second plank hold at one end of the parking lot.  Then mosey to the other end John Cusack style and R/R.  We did 4 rounds and it was exciting.  It would be good to switch out merkins with Balls to the Wall or another arm exercise.

Event 2: @Pumps complained that his legs were cold and like yah, it’s 29 degrees outside and you’re wearing shorts bro…  So we did 11’s.  Squats at one end and lunges at the other.

Event 3: @Sprinkler asked a wonderful question of when does the workout begin so I decided to go for the trifecta and we did typewriters down the block wall.  That’s another @Finkle specialty with 10 dips and flip over to do 10 Irkins and repeat all the way down the wall.

Mary: @Pumps again was begging for the sneak peak.  Another signature @Finkle move which is a wide up and out step in place giving those around a sneak peak of the “package.”  And to end this perfect workout with perfect weather on a perfect morning we had to pair the sneak peak with some Meat Gazers.  @Lipstick was especially fond of this one…for some unknown reason.

Prayer Requests: @U.T.I.’s m-in-law needing a kidney transplant, @Gamecock is sick.
