Beautiful day at the Ricky Bobby this morning.

Not because it was Oompa Loompa’s birthday.  It was because we were graced with a siting of the rarest of rare.

It wasn’t Sasquach, it wasn’t the tooth fairy, and it dang sure wasn’t Allen Tate. It wasn’t Gaston County’s handsomest cardiologist either although he was present.

It was Gaston County’s favorite geriontologist, Quiche, with a quick hello after a 4 mile EC with Sargento. I guess he made a house call to check on me and Tesla.

Time to start.

No FNG so brief disclaimer.  I am an idiot. Don’t get hurt. I can hear everybody silently repeating it in their head.

Warmup consisted of: Burpees. Patented Oompa Loompa Side Straddle Hops in cadence to start. Toy soldiers. Mosey to track.

The Thing: It’s Oompa’s 61 birthday, and being old, I have to keep things simple, so I don’t forget stuff. Standard Oompa You vs You workout. 60 plus 1 equals 61 for the Midoriyama guys.

Arm work 60 single count reps, or in cadence,  your choice of any arm exercise you want. Merkins, derkins, dips, Def Leppard Pushups, raise the roofs, hipslappers, shoulder taps, werkins, staggers, diamonds,  etc.

Run a lap around the track.

Abs work 60 single count reps, or in cadence, your choice of any ab exercise you want. Vee ups, lbc, lbfc, flutters, box cutters, scissors, Rosalitas, big boys, WW1, windshield wipers, penguins, etc.

Run another lap.

Alternate Arms and Abs after each lap until time expires.

Sargento whipped up a 60s Playlist after the second or third lap for our listening pleasure.

Ball Joint got 12 laps, I think everybody else got 11 or 10. Thanks to Whoopie and Sargento for the pushing the Q this morning. We’ll tie you next time Ball Joint.

Lots of poor form, laughs, and sweat.

Back to flag.  22 for vets, pledge. YHC said a few words about not knowing any of you guys 5 years ago. I now have a group of brothers that will do anything for each other. I didn’t realize I needed this circle of guys in my life.

Sargento passed the site Q to Nutria.

YHC closed us out. Thanks to Sargento for letting me Q.
