Welcome to Gaston Counties most elite premier excellent amazing foremost exhilarating bootcamp AO, THE STORM.

Boudin finishing some EC Ruck sacking  – right up to the wire.  Pax are rolling in, including Shell Shock – who is no longer an FNG, and back for more even after witnessing the mess that was Slaw at Mt Hollywood.  Sargento did not have an FNG like he promised, although he later mentioned his FNG as Shell Shock who was an FNG Monday.

Lets Roll.

SSH, MNC, Arm Circles, Burpees, Mosey

Stupid shuffle, tiger squats, big boys, Plank, Mosey

Dippity Dips, Step UPs (Anchorman, Hayzus (originally from Ohio or the Buckeye State), and myself discussed what exactly a Buckeye is and how it is not scary at all.  Then Anchorman pointed out there is a delicious chocolate desert called a buckeye – ask him for the recipe(also, the Wright Brothers are from Ohio – they also left that state to discover flight in the Carolinas)) whilst we discussed the pax continued to enjoy step ups – I finally let them know we need to do other exercises and they all grudgingly agreed to move onto six shooter abs.  Moses gave a 10 count.  We then moseyed.

Mike Tysons, Step back lunges, oblique crunch (also a good look when trying to impress your M) and extended Freddy Mercurys Mosey.

Plank, Jump UPs, Merkins, Mosey

One more round of Stupid Shuffle.  10 more burpees from SA, 20 Squats from Moses, 10 Flying Squirrels from Shell Shock. Mosey to the flag.

Prayer Requests

Slim Shadys family friend new baby had died.  The family originally had some trouble getting pregnant and when they were finally blessed tragedy struck.

Slim Shadys and his M will also be welcoming their 4th child soon.  Congrats and prayers especially after witnessing what their family friends are going through.

Lin Ham and her brain tumor

Breaker has some family members with illness, 3 members of his church are deployed, and Sarina’s girlfriend is on a trip with westward bound.

We stayed in the circle the entire time.  no running at all, not even a mosey.  thats right TopHat – no running – although I did see TopHat going for a jog after the bootcamp and Dirt did some mile prior.

alot of SSH, we tried to do merkins a few times, however, I could not remember how to count.  Also, we did one set of SSH silently.  Few lunges, bear crawls, squats, planks, mike tysons, few ab exercises and found out Time Frame loves oblique crunches.

Prayers

Many pax lost loved ones or had many medical events – prayers to all

In last weeks addition of The Storm we more than moseyed. This week the decision was made to take the Storm to the next level and not leave the parking lot.  In fact, we almost did not even leave the warm up circle.

SSH to warm up – no counting here, just SSH.  Whilst we all SSH I explained the exercises written in a circle along with a few coupons.  As usually Buckeye’s classics hits are playing in the background, for some reason the music from my speaker is louder here than when I Qued Folsom a couple weeks ago.  Everyone loved the music except for SisterAct.

The Circle of Pain Lab?  These exercises were written in a circle  in the parking lot prior to some EC.  Turns out, the exact number of PAX showed to match the exact number of exercises planned for the morning.   Serendipity?

• Squat press with 30lb dumb bells
• 45lb plate carrier
• Mike Tyson’s
• Swimmers
• Shoulder flys with 10lb dumb bells
• step back lunge
• bear crawl
• Freddy Mercury
• Plank
• Curls with 20lb dumb bells
• reverse bear crawl – SisterAct mentioned that there is an actual name for these but I dont have time for that – so we will call them BEEP BEEP Bear Crawl
• Run – see not pain lab – we actually had a running exercise
• SSH

We made it through just over 2 rounds of this when Sargento had to leave us making our perfect numbers no so perfect any more.  Time for a change.  Lets mosey.   We completed a short mosey to the wall on the side of the school where one round of the stupid shuffle was completed because Termite had never experienced it before.  Mosey around the back of the school back to the flag.

Tunes were selected for stretching, as always, we stretch with Disney Princesses.  5 minutes of stretching later and its time.
