Breakfast at the Bobby!

As 2020 rolls on with it’s challenges and opportunities (there’s a difference?) some things just stay constant. One of them is the lit field at The Ricky Bobby and the Centurion that lights our way when we get there to assemble for a beatdown buttermilk style courtesy Tesla. Today’s humid adventure in the gloom went like this:

COP:

SSH X 20

IW X 20

Grapevine stretches

Mtn. Climbers X 20

LBC X 20

Mosey to the end of the football field and partner up for BLIMPS. partner 1 runs the field and back. Partner 2 does the called move. Flapjack, rinse and repeat as follows:

Burpees

Lunges

Imperial Walkers

Merkins

Plank Jacks

Squats

After this, we mosey over to the sidelines and the benches for more work:

Dips

Step ups

Dirkins

10X, 15X, 20x apiece.

After 10X – Sprint to the other side and jog back.

After 15X – Karoake to the other side, jog back

After 20X – Bear crawl half way,  Burpee broad jump halfway.  Jog back.

Meet in the center of the field for some Four Corner work.  Game works like this. Start with 5 burpees, go to the called corner and do the reps. Mosey back, 5 burpees, next corner

1st corner – HR merkins

2nd corner – Big boy sit ups X 10

3rd corner – CDDs X 10

4th corner – Jump squats X 10

Mosey back to the flag and a little Pax called Mary. Game here is pax calls move and does 10 merkins. Pax does move until merkins are complete. Tesla and three others get in on the fun until time os called and we say a pledge.

NMM:

Humid morning today but everybody put in good work! Spam and Nutria are getting better fast. Great to see. Love the AO, a poor man’s version of The Charge over in Metro. Fun place to work out. Pleasure and honor ot lead. look forward ot doing so again soon.

Blocks and Lazy Dora

10 of G-Town’s finest rolled in to the gloom of SOGA on a muggy, damp morning. I had signed up to Q a long while back before my foot injury showed up and almost gave up the Q but I decided I would plan to Q without any running. Here goes!

Warmup – 10 Burpees (in honor of Sister Act), Cotton Pickers, Moroccan Night Clubs.

Grab a block and Farmer’s carry to the new parking lot of the empty Planet Fitness.
50 Reps of Curls, On Your Six Chest Presses, Triceps Extensions and Swings.

Core Time 7’s
Flutter Kicks x 7 IC.
Flutters, American Hammers x 7 IC.
Flutters, Am. Ham, Freddie Mercuries x 7 IC.
Flutters, Am. Ham, Freddie Merc, LBC’s x 7 IC.
Flutters, Am. Ham, Freddie Merc, LBC’s, In & Outs x 7 IC.
Flutters, Am. Ham, Freddie Merc, LBC’s, In & Outs, Dying Cockroaches x 7 IC.
Flutters, Am. Ham, Freddie Merc, LBC’s, In & Outs, Dying Cockroaches, Reverse Crunches x 7 IC.
After each set of these I read a quote from David Goggins. I read his book titled “Can’t Hurt Me” of which the main theme is controlling your mind and your body will follow. He takes this to an extreme level but is an interesting guy.
Here are the quotes:
1. Life is a big tug of war between mediocrity and trying to find your best self.
2. Nobody cares what you did yesterday. What have you done today to better yourself?
3. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable and finally make your dreams come true.
4. The only person who was going to turn my life around was me.
5. We all have the ability to come from nothing to something.
6. When you think you are done, you’re only at 40% of your body’s capability.
7. The most important conversation is the one you have with yourself.

Repeat the Block work except with 20 Reps. of Curls, On Your Six Chest Presses, Triceps Extensions and Swings.

Partner up for Lazy Dora
100 Merkins Total, 10 while partner planks then switch.
200 LBC’s Total 20 while partner holds legs 6″ then switch.
300 Squats Total, 30 while partner holds squat then switch. Ouch!

Repeat the Block work except with 20 Reps. of Curls, On Your Six Chest Presses, Triceps Extensions and Swings.

Farmer’s Carry the block back to the start.

In the COT I asked each guy to share their kid’s ages and grades for the upcoming school year and we said a prayer for them as they each begin school in a difficult year.

*NMM Hearing Oompa count cadence is always a fun time. Gastone has a lot of helpful tips for plantar fasciitis. I can tell Stroganoff just loves the block work. Defib had a nice fragrance about him as always. Sister Act only called me out twice in 45 minutes which is not a lot for him. Thanks to all the Pax who posted.

Back in town for Prison Break

I made it back from the beach and back out to prison break to see some brothers this morning! It was great seeing everybody and just being back in fellowship! While I was on vacation I thought to myself a few times as I was running about how thankful I am to have a brotherhood so solid to fellowship with and workout with. I’m glad I don’t have to run or live life alone all the time! I’m thankful for you guys and the way the lord has used each one of you in my life! Just a thought I wanted to share to let you guys know how Important it is to me to have this solid group and what it should mean to each one of you. Ponder on it and let it marinate on what this circle means to you.

God is so good!
