1776 BAYOU BEAT DOWN WITH EXTRA HUMIDITY

YHC walked out the house this morning and could definitely feel the compression of extra humidity that thickened up the air……….welcome to just another morning of life down south in Louisiana.   Rolled out and headed for the  GOAT already aware that the morning would be bringing lots of sweat and pain.  Pulled up and already HIM’s were gathering with some rolling up just as we got kicked off.

YHC called 5:30, time to go to work.   Started out with the pledge and YHC really let that sink in this morning for what it stands for, FREEDOM, a word that many times over and over is taken for granted and forgotten by so many.  Do they really know what it means…………………to live free ?

Got our stretch on with:

-Arm circles (big and small / forward and reverse, listen to those shoulders popping)

-Right over left, left over right…….stretch it out good.

-Planked up for right foot to right hand, reach for the sky, flapjack to the left side

-Pull that right arm across and stretch it out, flapjack to the left side

-Something new this morning………….99’s on your six, position and lean forward, lean back, stretch it out, flap jack to the left side

-Gravel pickers in cadence

Alright, everyone good and stretched as well as sweating already and we haven’t even begun to work yet……..lets get to it.  The 4th  is one  week away, YHC will be traveling, missing out on upcoming beatdowns next week and wanted to bring a little something to the work out today to represent a monumental time for our country………..1776 kept echoing while penning a list that we’d work through this morning and so it would be done.    1776 would be our rep count today

Decided to incorporate 2 exercises back to back, then take a lap around the block after each set w/ a little added bonus.   At each corner of the 3 sided block knock out 1 burpee, return to start and plank for the 6.

The Thang:

1st exercise 17 REPS /  2nd exercise 76 REPS

• Merkins / LBC’s – take a lap

-Plank Jacks / Squats –  take a lap

-Shoulder Taps / American Hammers – take a lap

-Mountain Climbers / Air Presses – take a lap

-Seal Jacks / Flutter Kicks – take a lap

-CDD’s / SSH – take a lap

-Everyone lined at the corner of 9th and center st for a full block Bear Crawl all the way to 8th.

-Finished up with a round of Mary, calling on pax for exercises until we ran out of time.

5 laps and 1 block bear crawl put us just over 1776 yards ran / crawled (slightly over 1 mile)

Annoucements:

-2nd F lunch 7- 17 at Pita Wheel

-Lightning PT test 7-6 Dr Suess is putting the belt up for grabs

-Alma Mater VQ tomorrow at Tequila Sunrise…….TBD pending back injury

-Reminder to all Pax when Q calls “plank for the 6” it comes down a respect thing for those who aren’t as fast as you might be.  I speak from experience of usually being in the back of the pack, when I’m coming up on the group all holding plank it makes me push harder to get in quicker.

-The Declaration will be read and we all know Tesla helped write it.

Prayers and Praises:

• Jackson Curti is in another trail and hoping for good results

-Anchorman

-All pax traveling and on IR

-Mama’s Boy and M closing on their first house tomorrow, CONGRATS and GOOD LUCK !!!!

YHC took us out w/ praises, thanks and honor.

This morning was hard but you showed up and put the work in and for that you all get a RESPECT shout out today!!

Thank you for allowing me to lead you today, IT IS ALWAYS AN HONOR!!

Happy 4th to all and keep it real men
