Light rain and moderate temps….perfect weather for the premier afternoon AO in the Gashouse. Turnout was a little light, but quite a few PAX let YHC know that they were having to push the rock at work and wouldn’t be able to attend. Not a problem, 6 HIM took the DRP and got after it. Short disclaimer, Pledge, warmup and off to the Thang:

 

BLAST – 5 rounds of the following exercises

Burpees x10

Lunges x10 each leg

American Hammers x10IC

Suicides x5 (this ended up being a LOT of running)

Twinkle Toes x10 (Al Gore with calf raise)

 

This took a little longer than YHC was expecting, but we still had time for a little more work:

Bear crawl to the same cones as the suicides and perform 10 Merkins at each cone

Repeat with lunge walk and 10 Jump Squats at each cone

 

Mary suicides until time is up

PAX calls exercise and then runs a suicide while the other PAX perform AMRAP of called exercise. Flutter kicks, LBFC’s, Plank, Nolan Ryan’s and LBC’s were performed.

 

Humble Yourselves

Proverbs 12:15 – “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but the wise man listens to advice.”

Learning the hard way works, but that’s also the hardest way to learn. There is strength in admitting your mistakes and listening to others. Don’t be prideful, humble yourself and listen to others. If you fail to humble yourself, God may have to do it for you.

NMM

Thanks to the PAX for showing up in not so perfect weather and pushing through. Pythagoras has become a regular at Midoriyama and continues to push to get better. Pizza Man, Gold Digger and Slaw all did multiple workouts today and Blart decided to stretch out that stride on the suicides and leave everyone behind.

 

Great work guys, it was a pleasure!
