Day: February 4, 2019

The Elixir for the Super Bowl Hangover or perhaps the magic number of 24

10 PAX strong to start the week in gloom on this balmy Monday at Neverland.   Much mumble chatter to start about the boring game last night though I didn’t hear any Patriot fans.  Or Wolfpack fans for that matter.   5:30am on Monday’s come fast.   Let’s hit it

Start with the pledge and typical disclosure

Warm Up

SSH x20 IC

LBC’s x 20  IC

Merkins x 10 IC

The bucket of jelly beans made a return visit.  Someone grab the bucket and let’s mosey.

The Thang

Arrive at the doctor’s office down Riverwood Parkway

Broad jumps up the hill to the light; mosey back to start, rinse and repeat x3.   I’m always amazed at the damn rabbit (Island) that comes flying by.  So graceful in mid air.

Some grab the bucket of jellybeans and lets mosey to the back parking lot.

On your six, form a line, shoulder to shoulder.  AMRAP – Flutter kicks, while the 1st in line completes 20 bucket presses, pass on down the line until the end.  Brutal

Recover, grab the bucket, scale the back retaining wall and mosey to the parking lot by the pizza joint.

Time for the famous Red Barchetta , line up at the start, dash to the far end of the parking lot by the ATM, complete 100 SSH’s OYO (don’t forget the bucket of jellybeans)

Dash back to the start, plank it up waiting on the six, Dash back to the 2nd light, complete 75 mountain climbers OYO

Dash back to the start, plank it up waiting on the six, Dash to the 1st light, complete 50 LBC’s OYO

Dash back to the start, plank it up waiting on the six, from the plank position, complete 20 merkins OYO

Really an improvised Red Barchetta, only 3 lights total across the parking lot.

Whassupp man gave us an inspired 10 count

Next exercise – run to the loading dock, hop up and then bear crawl down the ramp, mosey to parking lot and complete 20 squats OYO

Rinse and repeat x3

YHC took a quick time check and saw that we still had plenty of time

Ran the Red Barchetta again with a minor adjustment

Line up at the start, dash to the far end of the parking lot by the ATM, complete 100 SSH’s OYO (don’t forget the bucket of jellybeans)

Dash back to the start, plank it up waiting on the six, Dash back to the 2nd light, out of the corner of my eye, saw a truck pulling out of the ATM.  Watch for the truck and called 75 monkey humpers  OYO.  Think the guy was amused, though, he hit the horn a time or two.

Dash back to the start, plank it up waiting on the six, Dash to the 1st light, complete 50 LBC’s OYO

Dash back to the start, plank it up waiting on the six, from the plank position, complete 20 merkins OYO

Getting close to time; grab the bucket and head towards Snoballs

Stopped at the wall and called 20 step ups

Followed by the people’s DIPs x  15 IC

Rinse and Repeat x2

Mosey back to the start, still had a few minutes, in honor of Spiderman, who has made a strong return and had to leave, 20 Peter Parkers and ended with 20 big boy sit ups OYO

CSUAP – Spelling? coming up

Took us out in prayer.  Big prayers for Hushpuppy that surgery goes well with a speedy recovery, Whassupp man, Easy Rider’s son, Gastone’s dad, Blades and Stones of Whetstone

Great work gentleman.  Always a honor to lead.  Getting challenging coming up with new routines.   Sort of fall into old routines.   If you haven’t Q’d lately, get on the list.  Also, try other AO’s to get some new ideas.

Till next time – Turtleman

Monday Morning Fartsacking

Hope Dark Knight had a good turn out this morning, otherwise Gastonia region had a serious fartsack problem this morning.  Do you think Tom Brady stays in the bed all morning?  Me either

Anyway five HIM showed and got better for it.

Warm – up: Big arm circles, SSH, Imperial Walker, Don Q, all 10X IC. Pledge.

Mosey to entrance to school.  YHC dialed up a self serving Q this morning.  Keeping Quiche theme of 5000 reps, Q called 25 merkins, 25 lbc, 25 squats and do a lap around parking lot.  Keep going till Q says stop.

Time, mosey to flag.  YHC got 14 rounds, Broke a couple more.

Announcements: CSAUP and Rooster sign up ongoing, Q source on Sunday mornings, 2nd F opportunity at Station on Main Street Belmont at 5:00 Friday afternoon, BRR team in the making, and hike up Mt Mitchell in May

YHC had a word regarding serving.  Mentioned that the Q today was self serving as I had to catch up on my challenge.  But our ultimate call to service is service to God first and our fellow man.  Take every opportunity, and create opportunity to be a shining light in a dark world.  That is our greatest call.

Prayer requests: Pizzaman M, Hushpuppy surgery, brothers returned from Chimbote, brothers headed to New Orleans.

Pax we praying for this week: Broke, Gold Digger, Roscoe, Linus, Bed Pan, Swimmer, Virus, Anchor Man

YCH took us out

Always and honor
