Star Wars is Not Superman

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

YHC was stoked to be back in the Q circle again. I’ve been battling several injuries, sicknesses, and setbacks for the last 2, but honestly 6 months. My COT message today was simple: Don’t take your health, but especially this fellowship of men for granted, it’s a great blessing that is greatly missed when you are not in it. #morethanaworkout

EC: Fanny Pack, Bleeder, Bobby Boucher, Nemo, Brexit, Batboy

FNGs: Nopes.

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Squatted Sir Fazio’s/Seal Claps/Overhead Claps, Frankensteins, Windmills, Cadence Squats.

The Workout: YHC promised mostly core and legs today with Indian Runs and so it was. Indian run double BOMBS hit first. Indian runs with stops along the way. The stops were: 5/5/5/5 Brokeback Merkins, 10/10/10/10 Outlaws/Overhead Claps, 15/15/15/15 Merkins/Marge Hold (Bridge), 20/10/20/10 Big Boy Sit Ups/Box Cutters, 50/50 Squats/Superman Hold…this is where Cancun got slightly confused on his 80’s adventure music…it’s Superman, not Star Wars!

Once BOMBS were built, a variation on BLIMPS was up next. The group ran small hill repeats with an exercise between. Each time we added 1 to the hill repeats between exercises. Exercises between were: 10 Bobby Hurley, 20 Lunges, 30 Imperial Walkers, 40 (total count Mary as dictated by PAX), 50 count Plank Hold, with a run back for about 4 mins. of Stretching.

Mary: Plenty of it during!

Announcements:

T-Claps (Recognition): Stubs, hitting the 6 month mark in his journey of recovery.

Prayer: Stubs and continued recovery, Ginzu with a pinched nerve is down for a bit, PAX who are in ruts…reach out. YHC, still banged up and recovering…but hopeful the comeback is beginning. We make each other stronger…don’t forget it!
