Oh boy, we get to use BRICKS!

Nice morning for a workout. The PAX slowly shuffled in, ready to start the day. Chit chat and pleasantries were shared until the clock was about to strike 5:30. One last arrival, not really coming in hot but definitely driving the wrong way on a one way street, was my FNG for the day! He made it just in the nick of time! With the FNG present I gave as much of a disclaimer as I could remember. Here’s the rest.

Warm Up: Seal Jacks x15IC, Don Quixote x15IC, Imperial Walkers x15IC, GoofBalls (everybody’s favorite) x15IC

Pledge of Allegiance

Mosey 10 feet to my trunk, we finally get to use the bricks I bought over a month ago! Mosey up to the secret parking lot for a round of Elevens.

On the end with a curb, the PAX would perform Mike Tysons (why are they called that?), at the other end it was Side Straddle Hops. At this point I instructed the men that unless otherwise specified, all exercises would be done holding the bricks (they’re the ones with no holes, so it gets a little harder to hang on to them after a while, at least for YHC and his noodle arms). Anyway, this was a pretty grueling session, especially for the FNG. It’s a good thing we state that it’s you against you, work at your own pace. Strong work.

Mosey around the old building to the off limits BB&T building for wall sits. Partner up, while #1 circles the building, #2 does shoulder presses. Second lap, the wall sitter does arm raises like in side straddle hops. Lap 3, the sitter did arm raises out in from. Good burn.

Mosey again down the road through the tunnel to the basketball court. Since the gate was open for once, we went inside to ride the Escalator. The PAX would perform 10 lunge walks (each leg), 20 burpees, lucky for us a train decided to roll by in the middle of this!, 30 Bobby Hurleys (no bricks), 40 squats, 50 shoulder presses. Sweat!

Last mosey back to the start. 5 minutes left. Time for Mary. We did American Hammers, World War II situps, Merkins, Dying Cockroaches. Time’s up!

Prayer requests: Top Hat’s dad, T-Square’s family, all the men on IR.

Announcements: Mud Run May 20th

Excellent work today men. It was a pleasure leading as always! AYE!!!

5 men braved the 56 degree morning with a slight breeze. It felt great outside and I with everyday could be that exact temperature in the morning.

The Thang: We ran 5 miles.

Moleskin: 4 of us showed up for a run and Tube showed up for a Bootcamp, oops. That’s ok Tube I have showed up for things I was not expecting before and they usually give you that great pain which helps you grow maybe. First 4 miles were fellowship pace and the last mile and a half we ran at an even 8 pace to finish strong. Billy Madison and Tube ran an alternate route of maybe around 3 but made it happen.

Thanks for the honor again of being the Q.

Gastone Out!
