sandbag toss

Today at Diablo Sammich I wanted to try something new. We had the usual guys there so I knew they could handle it. We started with the Pledge then off we went with my sandbag-Dry Rub carried the bag and when we go to the old Harris Teeter, we started in with the sandbag toss. One pax picked up the bag and threw it (without carrying it any steps) across the parking lot and back. The rest of the pax did laps in the lot with exercises at each light pole. We each took turns throwing the bag. Exercises were either Merkins or Squats depending on which lap.

Next we moved over to the loading dock. We did 5 laps of walking to the dock, jumping/crawling up the dock then mosey x 1 lap/bear crawl X 2 laps/lunge X 2 laps (total 5 laps) down the walkway.

We saw a few Pub Runners come by. A few obscenities were exchanged then we kept on going. We moved on to the other side of the lot and repeated the sand bag tossing process again. I think we all agreed this was not Dry Rub’s first time doing something like this. He threw that sandbag around like it really was not that heavy. Then all of a sudden, a Pub Runner busted out of the road, grabbed the sandbag and ran amongst us……no words were exchanged, just a funny grin then he dropped the bag and took off. Roscoe gets double credit for this am-glad you stopped by. You are welcome anytime. We continued on. Once we finished, we Indian-run-with-the-sandbag-tossed our way back to start dodging cars along the way.

Great morning men. Sand bag toss was more fun than you would think and will be making a return in the future. If you have not been to Diablo yet, come out and try it. These guys are pushing the rock and working their butts off.

Whoopee

The V Omaha at Folsom

Due to the holiday travels, only 2 HIM’s came out to Folsom this morning. It was a beautiful morning to get some work in, but the lack of HIM’S caused the YHC to call his first Omaha and all went well.

Warm Up:

We did some toy soldiers,  cotton pickers, and moroccan nightclubs. I have seen moroccan nightclubs call in our brothern in the past, but not today.

The Thang:

We moseyed to the flag pole stopping at each light post calling Mary exercises. YHC does not remember the quantity or type but the usual’s were all represented. There were burpies, lbcs, squats, mountain climbers, and many others.

Once at the flag pole, we pledged and moseyed back calling Mary again at each light post. The big boys and merkins appeared to be the most popular.

Once back, Volt had to leave for work so we did the COT.  This was awesome as Volt usually does not get to partake in the COT during the weekdays due to work responsibilities.  Volt is embodies consistency, has great integrity, and mythical strength. It was great to have the opportunity to get to know him better. He is an awesome HIM.

There was still some left so the YHC moseyed around the parking lot several times doing dips and steps up at each shelter and at the dock. Finally wrapping up by watching the beautiful sunrise over Folsom and thanking the good Lord for allowing me to see another one.

Announcements:

Lewis Farms Event on Saturday

Prayer Request:

Volt and Volt’s brother, Big Pappy’s family, and the unspoken and needed prayers.
