Day: April 1, 2017

It was a fine Day!!

14 showed for a rainy/wet beat down. Trying to show some planning skills, I dug up some exercises that I haven’t heard done yet. With that I like to start with the pledge and we’re off.

Warmup.

Abe Vigoda  x 10 IC   Slow Stretching Windmill

5 Burpees OYO

Mosey to the fartshack for some wall work.

10 x Hipslappers  IC

10 x Donkey kicks IC

10 x Wall taps  OYO

Now the rain began and we partnered up and did a Triple Check. Teams of 3 and 1 team of 2.

partner 1 wall sits

partner 2 planks

partner 3 sprints 100 yrds and back. or in our case to the truck in the parking lot. rinse and repeat x 3

Slow mosey to the parking lot for a route 66.

first one was a Bulgarian Ball Buster. Its a reverse lunge to a knee up.

second was the Merkin. Freight called out bear crawl between lines so some did.

Mosey to the parking lot in between the ball field and the horse shoe pits for 15 mins of fun. Complete reps of exercises and then run a lap.

10 Bobby Hurleys

10 Monkey Humpers

10 Nolan Ryans each hand. A few guys had good reach on this one.

5 Crunchy Frogs

After that we did another route 66

Van Goghda  Its a slow windmill on your 6. Feels like a WW1 Freight called out duck walk so we did.

I had more on the wet winke but since time was running low and we had a FNG to name, we moseyed back to the start and did 10 Dips and 5 Burp & Merks to finish up. Pizzaman took us out on 22 for the vets.

COT

Announcements, Prayer request and prayer and we named the FNG. Welcome Wes Huffstetler now known as Match Stick

This week has been crazy for me. My Boss had a Heart attack and is heading for triple bypass surgery. When I arrived at the workout I found out that a high school friend had passed away from a massive heart attack. Thank you guys for showing and keep each other in your prayers.

No Train Saturday

A beautiful morning to share some sweat with the #HIMs. 14 showed this morning for YHC’s second Q in 3 days.

Announcement, we need Q’s at the Yank!

Pledge of Allegiance

Gather at the nest for the warm up. Goofballs x15IC, Dying Cockroaches x15IC, Daniel Sons x15IC

Mosey up to the track behind the middle school for The Thang. No running today, it’s time for the Super 21. We start out with LBCs and Merkins. 1 LBC and 2 Merkins, 2 LBCs and 3 Merkins, 3 LBCs and 4 Merkins until we reached 10. Once there we ran a lap around the track. Starting back, we switched to 10 Squats and 11 Side Straddle Hops, 11 Squats and 12 SSH, etc. up to 21. Mumble chatter was plentiful.

Take the scenic route on our mosey up to the sidewalk in front of the school. This routine is intended to be a tribute to the four schools in the Final Four. Here’s what happened.

Start with a nod to the Gamecocks with what YHC dubbed Chicken Jumps. Basically doing jump squats while flapping our “wings”. Do 10 of these.

We had to get to the other end of the sidewalk, so for the Gonzaga Zags, we did Zig Zags. The PAZ would hop back and forth over a line down to the other end.

Once at the other end, unfortunately we had to acknowledge the Tar Holes. We did this by performing 10 Pickle Pounders.

Lastly, to give the Ducks props, we did a Duck Walk back to the start. We did this routine 3 times in total.

Mosey around to the back wall of the school. The Triple Check involves 3 man teams. Partner 1 holds the People’s Chair while Partner 2 hold the Plank while Partner 3 sprints to the stop sign and back. Rinse and repeat times 3.

Last but not least, we went to the shelter for a short Dora 123. Pair up for 300 squats, 200 LBCs and 100 dips. While partner 1 exercises, 2 holds 6 inches. While doing LBCs, partner 2 did something else. Time ran out before we could get to the dips.’

Prayer requests: T-Square’s family

Announcements- Burpeethon is cancelled for now.

Great to see you guys this morning! AYE!!!

Shenanigans

Another Thursday at the Goat. The dudes were strolling in, Mayor was trying to give away the leftovers from the P200. Lets get it on! Oh hey Anthrax, where did you come from?!?

Pledge

Warm Up: Goofballs x15IC, Don Quixotes x10IC, Squats x15IC

Mosey down to the island, around the playground to show off the nifty concrete cornhole set-up. Count off to make sure everybody’s here. 12, good. Let’s mosey some more up to the secret parking lot.

The Thang: Upon arrival at the spot, there was a stack of beautiful bricks and a deck of cards. The Deck of Death, classic! The suit for each card drawn means a certain exercise, the number on the card is the number of reps.

Spades: Merkins

Hearts: Dying Cockroaches

Diamonds: Arm Raises with bricks

Clubs: Monkey Humpers

Everything was going smoothly, some mumble chatter, sweat, yada yada yada. After a couple of cards drawn, YHC figured we needed to step it up a little, so for each ace drawn, the PAX would complete a lap around the building. This routine was going just as planned until somehow there seemed to be 6, 7, maybe even 8 aces in this deck! What’s going on? No one knows for sure, but there’s speculation that some of the PAX feel the need to do extra credit reps and drag the rest of us down that path with them. In the end, we all made it through anyway, no problem.

We finished up that routine and moseyed back down to the start with just enough time to squeeze in the first half of Roxanne. You don’t have to put on the red light baby!

Prayer Request: T-Square’s family, Top Hat’s dad is home and recovering

Announcements: Burpeethon is cancelled for now, Mayor will bring updates as available. Mud Run May 20th, Community Foundation Run April 8th

Moleskin: That deck was full, 52 cards!

A pleasure to lead as always men. Keep pushing the rock!

AYE!!!
