The Octopus

A week or so ago … the Class of 2019 of Stuart W. Cramer High performed their Senior prank by laying squids all over the parking area and entrances of the school. As great as squids are, they just don’t seem as intimidating as the octopus … so, I decided to lay down “The Octopus” all over the parking area and entrances of the school instead!

The Warm Up

SSH X 8 IC

IW X 8 IC

Grass Pickers X 8 IC

The Thang

“The Octopus” has 8 arms … thus this workout will have 8 arms consisting of an exercise with 8 reps. With each arm … we moseyed from the body to the end of the arm, performed “called” exercise(s) and returned to the body and then to the end of the next arm … where we perform the exercise from arm 1 + arm 2, etc … until we completed all 8 arms of “The Octopus”!

Arm 1 … 8 Burpees

Arm 2 … 8 Burpees + 8 Merkins IC

Arm 3 … 8 Burpees + 8 Merkins IC + 8 Mountain Climbers IC

Arm 4 … 8 Burpees + 8 Merkins IC + 8 MC IC + 8 American Hammers IC

Arm 5 … 8 Burpees + 8 Merkins IC + 8 MC IC + 8 AH IC + 8 Tiger Squats OYO

Arm 6 … 8 Burpees + 8 Merkins IC + 8 MC IC + 8 AH IC + 8 TS OYO + 8 Hip Slappers IC(Thanks Sister Act)

Arm 7 … 8 Burpees + 8 Merkins IC + 8 MC IC + 8 AH IC + 8 TS OYO + 8 HS IC + 8 Step Ups IC

Arm 8 … 8 Burpees + 8 Merkins IC + 8 MC IC + 8 AH IC + 8 TS OYO + 8 HS IC + 8 SU IC + 8 – 8 Count Man Makers!

Let’s mosey back and wow … we have enough time for a round of Mary!

8 Freddie Mercury’s IC with YHC, 8 Michael Phelps IC with Slaw, 8 Peter Parker’s IC with Sister Act, 8 Parker Peter’s IC with Broke, 8 ct Side Plank each side with Termite, 8 Crunchy Frogs IC with Dr Seuss, 16 Big Boys with Anchorman, * Nolan Ryan’s each side with Breaker Breaker, 8 ct SLOW 6″ with Scribbles, 24 lbc’s with Dirt, and Head Case wrapped it up with 8 BURPEES to bring the total to 72 on this fine morning!

Time!

Romans 8 asks the question, “What shall separate us from the love of Christ?” … and the answer is nothing! No one, nowhere, nobody!

It’s been said that you can take the man out of Gastonia … but you can’t take Gastonia out of the man! Let it be said of us that not only do we bring “Gastonia” everywhere we go … let us also bring “the love of Christ” as well!

Share the Love of God always … in all ways!

Once again … it’s an absolute honor to lead! I woke up several times last night with the thought, “if you can’t do it … don’t Q it” and wondered if I could complete “The Octopus” … and in the words of Sister Act, “you’re doing it!” Thanks for the push men … until next time!
