I’m at The Storm this AM for my first time visit and Q at this locale. As I pull into the parking lot I see a large lively group ready for werk. I also noticed Slaw back from his recent trip to the Chapel Hill Burn Center courtesy of Def Leppard. Good job buddy way to get back up on that horse. Well it’s time to go. After a few quick introductions, my  disclaimer, and The Pledge we were quickly at it. There were a lot of SSHs and Mike Tysons during the warmup. Along with these and a few other movements there was a good bit of Mumblechatter as well as zero attention paid to the instructions given during the warmup. That’s all good as I’m completely eat up with ADDDDHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHDDDDDD myself and go off the rails quite often too.

After we finished up the warmup we headed out to the lower entrance for a Tripple Nickel in the dark. Exercise selection was Jump Squats and Perfect Form HR Merkins. While here I caught a little more crap about how I avoided an entirely lit parking lot and  chose to run where the lights were out. It was also said how someone should report this to someone who works for Duke Power. Ha ha ha good one. Well I’m a lineman and we do our best work in the dark. Plus most of you are 10s when your M turns the lights off anyway.

After the Nickel we got in a little recovery stretching before heading off to run a bunch of rounds of 4 Corners where we ran through several rounds of single exercise before stacking them all together for the final round.

  • Rd. 1 – 10  Merkins each corner
  • Rd. 2 – 20 Hillbilly Squats each corner
  • Rd. 3 – 30 Seal Jacks  each corner
  • Rd. 4 – 40 Flutters each corner
  • Rd. 5 – All Previous Work each corner

It was during this time that Dr. Suess became the source of everyone’s attention. Every time he got up from any exercise the chants started. No way Seuss! No Rep Seuss! He’s going because someone else is going again! All of this said as if to insinuate that Dr. Seuss would take off if he thought someone was ahead of him. I tell you I kinda like this saucy little crowd over here. They talked $h!t profusely,  pushed hard the whole time, and kept on calling out some nonexistent PAX named CPAP. The entire dang workout his teammates cheered this fella on. He got cheers like that last poor Some Beech that crosses the finish lines at the Boston Marathon. CPAP you need to show up and earn your team them points for yours and your family’s sake. I fear your teammates may decide to do you some harm if you don’t show up soon.

Well it was getting close to that time so we made a mad dash back to the COT for Praise, Prayers, and Announcements. Once finished some of us headed for refreshments while others quickly scurried off about their Thanks for all the Trash Talk, Fellowship, and Hard Work Men.

Until Next Time
