The Pickle Pounder

15 showed up for an early morning bootcamp brought to you by Gastone. We had lots of fun, and I will try to put it on paper below.

The Thang:

25 SSh

20 Merkins OYO

Mosey to McQuitter wall for 2 sets.

20 3 count dips

20 step ups first leading with left foot then 20 on the other side.

30 Squats

30 Monkey Humpers

Between the 2 sets we ran down the hill and came back up backwards for a little Nurr.

Then we moseyed to the parking garage. (at this point Gastone realized a large hotel had been constructed since last I was at Downtown? hmmm.)

Lunge walk backwards up the slope in garage.

Be honest I was all over the place but we stopped at least 4 times to do 4 different versions of calf raises to 20. We did more lunges, wall sits with marching and more Monkey Humpers.

We king of finished in garage with a circle of fun exercises which Slaw seemed to really demonstrate for everyone. 30 Pick Pounders, 30 Hip Thrusters, with 30 Monkey Humpers. (For a second we sang “In the Navy”)

We moseyed to the wall for some balls to the wall and a little more sitting against wall.

Mosey to the start for a little Mary for the next 5 minutes.

Pledge

The Moleskin:

It was fun, I have missed everyone. I plan on being back out quite a bit so we will see you soon.

Prayers  for all and the one’s that need the most that were mentioned.

Gastone Out!

 

Storm of fun

14 at The Storm for some Gastone.

The Thang:

30 SSH

20 Merkins

Mosey to wall at school for 25 Marching with hands in the air, and 20 Hip Slappers. Then 25 and 15. Good start I was told, very popular with everyone.

Mosey down and out to the road at the bottom of the hill.

We planked for an entire minute or just me in my head counting to 60. Most form was good.

As you look up the hill I pointed out all the light post even the one’s that were not working. We stopped at all of them for 5 Hand Release Merkins.

Then we crossed the road and hit the rest of the poles all the way to the top with 20 Monkey Humpers at each post.

On the way, all the way to the bottom we did 10 Squats at the first pole then 5 Merkins at the second and repeated that pattern to the very bottom.

We took a left in to the parking lot for 20 Yards Lunges, 20 Yards Backwards Lunge, Calf Raise routine.

6 minute of Mary.

Flutter’s, Jane Fonda’s, and Pickle Pounders. Maybe a few others.  Mosey back with a stop for 20 Mountain Climbers.

Right on time.

The Moleskin:

We had an FNG, Drizzle. Drizzle did a great job and plans on being with us a lot more. He has 2 kid’s and lives in Belmont the last 3.5 years.  He spends lots of time with family and we have so much more to learn about him. Welcome.

We started with a Pledge.

We finished with a Prayer.

Gastone Out.

Down the hill 10 Squats each mailbox.

Back up the hill with some exercise at the mailboxes.

And back down with another.

We did some more stuff on the way back but you get the general idea.

The Molskin:

We worked hard, we survived. We will go on to conquer the day.

We did a prayer and we started with the pledge.

The Moleskin:

Great group of guys. Fun times were had and we had a medium amount of Mumble Chatter.

This is a good time of the year to give some other guys the Emotional Headlock and drag them into a workout. Offer to give them a ride and let them know what time you will pick them up.

Prayers for many,

Gastone Out!

Welcome to Planet Fitness

Mosey to wall beside Planet Fitness.

Wall Sit, then Wall sit with hands above head. Then March in cadence to 30.

30 Monkey Humpers

Lunge walk about 30 Yards. 20 Yards to the right then left. Then backwards back to the wall.

20 Jane Fonda’s. Plank with belly facing up and thrust hips up and down to a 3 count.

50 Squats.

Then back to the wall. Rinse and repeat with a few changes along the way. The Squats went down by 10 each of the 4 sets. We added Pickle pounders after the Jane Fonda’s. We also changed from Lunges to Karaoke, then to running.

In the mix of all of that we added a variety of calf raises to further the leg workout but focusing on the lower leg.

Mosey our way back to the wall at the bank.

20 Incline Merkins, 20 Dips, and 20 CDD’s. Rinse and Repeat.

Mosey to start with 10 seconds to spare. (Hushpuppy, questioned or challenged that I might not make it back in time.

But we did.

The Moleskin:

Great group this morning. We had some Mumble Chatter or really it was more of Clavin adding sound effects to some of the workout.  But, he seemed confident that his wife would approve of the workout and might increase stamina or something he mentioned.

Also, Stinky Bird killed a turkey or at least that is what he tells us. He pounded his chest while saying this as if it was a giant Moose or a lion. But, good job Stinky Bird. Whoopee would be proud.

Prayers

Gastone Out!
