Circle of Pain

4 HIM’s braved the summer humidity and the gaudy Vegas-like electronic billboard outside WA Bess Elementary for a post-holiday beatdown. Coming in hot at 0529, I clumsily but quickly carried the necessary equipment from car to center of the AO as the clock struck 0530. After a brief disclaimer to a group of solid veterans, warmup commenced: Side-straddle hops, Imperial walkers, and Toy soldiers (10xIC each). On to The Thang: 30 seconds of work, 15 seconds of rest to move around the circle of 6 stations. Each sequence was 3 rounds of all 6 exercises. In a hurry to get going, I started Pandora on the most recent station I’ve listened to: 60s rock.

Set 1:
Derkins
Rows (L)
Rows (R)
Goblet squats
Mountain Climbers
Reverse Crunches

The 60s rock was dragging like a bad hangover this morning, unfortunately, so we shifted gears to Imagine Dragons after Set 1.

Set 2:
Bulgarian squats (L)
Bulgarian squats (R)
Merkin pull-throughs
Kettlebell clean and jerk
Flutter kicks
American Hammers

Set 3:
Dips
Step-ups

Big Boy Situps
Freddy Mercurys
Kettlebell Swings

Time ran out after the 2nd round of Set 3.   Solid work

Basic Assumption

It’s the day after Memorial Day. Ask any veteran who is considered the physically unfit wimps of the armed forces. Yep. You guessed it. The chair force. You can add the waste of space force to the list too.

Since YHC has become fat, lazy, old, decrepit, and recovering from a torn quadriceps for the uninformed, my return to glory Q was going to be just a wee bit easy.

Pledge. No disclaimer.
Warm up.
10 SSH IC (you know that my cadence count was missing from your life)
25 Flutters IC

Air Force physical fitness test

2 minutes 37 minimum requirement
Air force style hand release pushups. Kind of like superman s.

2 minutes 40 minimum requirement
Air force cross crunches. Count right leg only.

Plank. High or low. Wasn’t specific on directions. Pick your poison.
2 minutes minimum

High aerobic shuttle run
Pick a point 20 yards apart.
Sprint to point to point every 6 seconds. 37 back and forth minimum. Usual Midoriyama level count down and time keeping.

Believe it or not we all easily passed the minimum requirements with about thirty seconds to spare.

Wall sit while YHC retrieves a football and a frisbee from vehicle.

Fling frisbee. Run to it. Do a Burpee. Someone else fling it. Run to it. Burpee. Ri se and repeat. I think everyone had a turn. We wound up in middle of a softball field.
Count off as 1s and 2s. Started off as frisbee rules frisbee. After many poor throws and drops, the football was grabbed and the fun factor and scoring increased exponentially. As usual, the gallantly undermanned Def Leppard team was victorious.

Five minutes of Mary. 25 LBCS IC. 22 for the vets. 25 LBCS IC. Jailbreak to flag. One Burpee when you get there.

What’s mentioned in the COT, stays in the COT.

Prayer for: Mayor’s M, Big Pappy, Turtleman, Broke, Freights dad, Whoopie, Hazes family member, expecting dads and Ms, Huck, others spoken and unspoken. I know I forgot some. Sorry. Recorder cut off.

YHC out.
Was a great day to Q.
Great people to post with.

Mini Ultimate Frisbee

Only 7 showed up for Midoriyama on this Thursday. A Tornado Warning and some dark clouds scared off everyone I guess. I had planned on some Ultimate Frisbee if we had enough but with only 7 I figured we didnt have enough. After some deliberation we decided to go ahead and play anyway. Termite wasnt feeling it so he did some intervals and hill runs. The rest of us played a 3v3 game on a shortened field. We also played with a disc golf mid distance disc which we quickly learned was a lot different to throw than our normal disc. We didnt keep score but i do know Leppard lost. Short field was still tough with only 3v3 and I think we were all wore out by the end of the game. Finished up with about 10 mins of stretching and a mosey to the flag.

Fighting Yank 5/28/22

Beautiful morning to get in some hard work.  Boudin scowl says bootcamp the light option for the day.  0700 so let’s get on it.  We start with the mission of F3.  Warmup of SSH, IW, Gravel pickers and some stretches.  Bunker goes with Boudin.

Bootcamp takes a lap around the block, stop at the turd shack.  Suicides up the hill to central ave at each utility pole.  Hand release merkins at each pole, increase reps by one at each pole.  Each time return to base for three burpees. Took a while to finish.

Mosey across street to retaining wall at First Baptist.    Step ups each leg, dips, and big boys.  10, 15, 20, 15 ,10.  Head back to Yank

Three burpees and base.

Meet back up with Bunker. Pledge.

Discussed quickly the need to act.  As community leaders we hold the responsibility to help those who are in need and those who can’t help themselves.  Little to no male leadership in communities and homes manifest in so many detrimental ways.  It is easy to look at how big the problems are and become overwhelmed.  Enough of us try, then change can happen.

Announcements:  PT test and F3 dads 6/18, tubing on Green River

Prayer requests: Breaker Breaker  travel, kids out of school, Dingy friend in Hospice,  Turtleman, Huckleberry, Tesla family
