Got a request from Brownstreak for a fill-in Q earlier in the week, and thankfully work cooperated and I was able to take it. Have not been to GoatIsland in a loooooong time so I was looking forward to this morning. I did not sleep well-was it goat island magic? Was it goat-thusiasm? Who knows? In any event, 6 others showed and we got some work done. Dr. Seuss and TopHat came in hot so we made sure to get some extra SSH in for their WU. Lot of sweat today-make sure to rehydrate tonight. Was great seeing the pax of eastern GasHouse-it’s been too long since I have been here.
This is what we did:
WU: 6 reps IC: SSH, Merkin, Squats, Burps, LBCs then 5 burpees with some extra SSH for TopHat then again for Dr. Seuss. The workout can’t really start of me without SSH.
The Thang:
Mosey to stairs by old bank for 13’s (similar to 11’s but today is 7/13 so we got a couple extry’s in today). Merkins at the top, burps at the bottom. Dolph didn’t like using the stairs so we Omaha’d to use the grassy hill for the trip down. Dolph went up and down the grassy hill-nice work. Think I would still be there if I did that. The stairs were tough enough.
Quick discussion while we got our breath about Concentrica-layers of personal relationships that have variable levels of importance. Center of bullseye and most important is relationship with M.
Mosey to bridge for Burpee Plank Bridge across the bridge. Plank in line at front of bridge and last pax does burpee then jumps over each pax still in plank until end then drop into plank. Next pax repeats until we crossed the bridge to other side. Longer bridge than I remember….
On other side of bridge, we went to the picnic table for partner work: 1 min of derkins and 1 min of squats, flapjack, rinse and repeat x total 2 sets of each (I think).
More discussion on Concentrica as we moseyed to other bridge and back: second layer:2.0 (kids)-1 relationship you can really never quit, impact on kids will help determine their future relationships with most everyone else in future. BIG IMPACT AND VERY IMPORTANT.
3rd and 4th layers are Shieldlock (look at guys around you right now) and Blade (mentor/mentee relationship). Less important that others but still big impact and important-should not be more important than M and 2.0s-gotta remember that. Sometimes the fartsack is necessary for family matters-remember that.
More partner work at picnic tables: Pax picked exercises: step ups and dips-1 min each, 2 sets total??? Discussed 5th layer of Concentrica somewhere in here-Mammon (work relationships-easiest to measure when successful, often more time consuming that other areas, easiest to quit, while it is essential, it is least important out of all areas of Concentrica). I think either someone passed gas (was not me) or a plane flew overhead and Dolph/Tiny Tank screamed train so we had to, scratch that-GOT TO do some burpees.
Mosey to bridge and slalom across the bridge-hop side to side while moving forward across the bridge. Little burn but not too bad. Mosey to other side of street and counted off as 1 or 2: 1’s do BTTW while 2’s mosey across to bridge for 5 Merkins then back, flapjack, rinse and repeat for I think 47 times (it felt like it).
Moseyed to start for Mary: LBC, American Hammer, think we did some burpees compliments of Dolph and probable some other stuff I cannot remember.
Finished with pledge, namorama, announcements, and COT.
CONGRATS TO ROSCOE. REAL PROUD OF YOU. WELL DESERVED PROMOTION AND CEREMONY PLANNED FOR 7/14/17 AT 10 AM AT POLICE ACADEMY, 1770 SHOPTON ROAD.
Was an honor to be there with some great guys-TopHat, glad to see you back at it. Remember King and Queen and keep fighting off that Jester. Tiny Tank, always the quiet but hard working guy next to you that is always, always, ALWAYS a few steps ahead. Dolph, solid work as usual and thanks for taking the lead and being Co-Q with HotNuts?? next week for Q on Thursday. Hot Nuts-get after it next week, pay attention-will learn from a pro with Dolph, great work today. Speck, strong performance today-we need to get you out to Midoryama to see what real mumble chatter is all about-better yet, come to Folsom on Sat for ToolTime Q and he’ll give you a crash course in MC101. Dr. Seuss-all I can say is I’ve got some big time respect for you-busting your tail and no complaints-very impressive.
Until next time-Whoopee out
