Thank you for another chance to lead!

21

The last time YHC lead The Goat, it was a coldish (Tesla had on long sleeves), wet day.   Today seem like a rinse/repeat but with warmer temps.  Last time attendance totaled 3, luckily today we doubled that especially given the races this weekend / tapering.   YHC had prepared for the rainy day, although in hindsight, we could run normal.

Nonetheless, here is how it went.

No FNGs, so lets get to it…. Mosey to the gazebo.

Break out the deck of cards…

Hearts – SSH
Diamonds – Air Presses
Spades – Squats
Clubs – Big Boys

Non-Face Cards, do the number on the card
Face Cards = 20
Aces = 25 of all four exercises

Following the counts of BlackJack, when the total is 21 or more, take a lap around the square.

We continued until time was out.

 

Prayer Requests:

  • Nutria’s family with stomach bug
  • CPAP & Dirt – Job Search
  • Mortimer, P70 & P200 teams

Praises

  • Pillager’s Grandparents Birthday this week
  • Nutria’s Van problem covered under warranty

YHC took us out.

 

Thanks to all that attended.  It was an honor to lead.  Maybe next time we can have dry weather.

Watts Up Powering Down

No rain

Were they afraid of today’s Q as Waterboy stated ? Or the rain, which never materialized? Covid, numbers are down? Resting for the weekends brutal beating on the body with the P200? Or was it the fragrance of the fart sack?

No matter, two HIMS kept the fire burning and had a great time ! Until next time

Peeping Tacoma @ PB

17 men logged miles at PB this morning and a peeping Tom in a Toyota Tacoma seen Sparky’s butt cheeks while he was changing in the parking lot! The guy even turned his headlights on lol!!

Good work brothers and sparky….I’m sorry that happened to you lol

SubstiQ

Wojo injured his back preparing for March Madness on Monday and reached out to see if I would take the Q. No worries, we’ll find something to do. Weather was crappy and attendance was light, but 5 PAX in total decided to put in some work. No reason to warm up in the rain, let’s head down to the lake and find a shelter.

 

Old School Deck of Death

Who need’s to pay $20 for a “special” deck of cards when a $.99 regular deck works just as good.

Number on card = number of reps

Face Cards = 20 reps

Aces = 25 reps of all exercises

Joker = 100 reps of PAX choice

Hearts – Merkins

Diamonds – Dips

Spades – Squats

Clubs – Big Boys

 

We made it through the entire deck and back to the start at time.

I’m Broke

Stacking Bricks

The Ricky Bobby has a lot to offer but the numbers have been low so when I found 12 bricks in my garage I thought that would be enough. I planned a workout but I was not prepared. 13 men showed and I freaked out a little. I mentioned that I was going to use bricks but did have enough. Flintstone says “how many you need, I got like 40.” We scrambled to get bricks and then this is what happened.

Warmup: 15 Toy Soldiers IC, 15 SSH IC, 15 Imperial Walkers IC, 15 Overhead Press IC. Lap around the track.

Work: 20 of each OYO and with bricks in hand. Seal Jacks, Oblique Crunches, Squats, Overhead press, Hand Release Merkins, Curls.

Lap around the track.

15 of each then a lap
10 of each then a lap
5 of each, no lap

Build it back up. 10, 15, and 20. Laps in between each set.

1 minute left so we did the Tesla stretch. Time.

Flintstone reminded me about the pledge and then we hit the COT. Welcome FNG Bambi.

Prayers:
Rebar heart test results
Relay race runners this weekend
Mayors 2.0 broken arm
Successful heart surgery on Bubba Sparxxxs’ 2 month old neighbor.

Name that tune

It was rainy this morning, so much so that Dirt and Watts Up suspended their EC until YHC arrived for the beatdown. We even drove over to the covered area at the school building in order to stay dry.

After a head count it was determined that 4 guys were manly enough to come out this morning. Rocks were found and pushed. Here’s what happened…

With YHC being pressed for preparation time, I went with old faithful, The Deck Of Death! We did whatever the card said to do. It was fun.

Probably the more important part of todays workout was that there was musical accompaniment to go along with the beatdown. YHC has had this playlist ready since January but hadn’t found the right time to bless the HIM with it. Unfortunately, Big Pappy coincidentally beat me to the punch with his 80s TV show theme song playlist several weeks ago. Gotta strike while the iron is hot! My TV theme song list was a little broader in scope though, covering shows from the 50’s all the way til now.

The songs we heard this morning included the themes from Rawhide, Mr. Ed, Sesame Street, What’s Happening!!, The Andy Griffith Show, The Monkeys, Stranger Things, The Brady Bunch, Knight Rider, The Mandalorian, The Muppet Show, The Addams Family, Twilight Zone, Mission: Impossible, Fresh Prince of Belair, Gilligan’s Island, Hawaii Five-0, The Jeffersons, The Simpsons, Sanford and Son, GI Joe, Scooby Doo, The A Team, Growing Pains, Miami Vice, CHiPs, Family Ties, Yellowstone and even the Olympics. We didn’t have time to get to Fat Albert, Inspector Gadget, The Pink Panther, The Golden Girls, The Flintstones or The Beverly Hillbillies but rest assured, the hits will be back.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead today men. I hope you had fun!

Prayer requests: Watts Up dr appointment today for shoulder, Dirt has 2nd interview today, CPAP looking for work

YHC took us out.

Aye!

Voting Irregularities

I put a poll on GroupMe for input yesterday: Rain was expected this morning so should I 1)Q the whole workout in the shelter or 2) stay in the rain the whole time. The final vote was 9-3 to stay in the rain. Despite having 12 votes, only 7 posted on a wet and chilly morning at Folsom. I think there may have been some absentee Kotter votes!!!!

No FNGs, we did a quick warmup and off we went.

11s on the hill between the parking lot and driveway to the old animal shelter – Merkins on one end, Jump Squats on the other.

Mosey to the flag pole. Roundup called some more Merkins while I grabbed the six. Elbow to knee in cadence and b
Big Boys to give the six a quick opportunity for a breather.

Short mosey to the upper parking lot. Originally, I wanted to do more 11s but time was running low so we just did the exercises – 2 sets – 15 each in cadence of Mike Tysons and Tiger Squats.

Mosey to the ampitheater for wall work. 3 sets of Australian Mountain Climbers and Elbow to Knees – 15 in cadence. As a bonus, Roundup called 30 Hip Slappers.

Mosey back to the parking lot.

Prayer Requests: MW’s family and friends, Pappy’s family, Stogie’s dad, all the men here today, the 5k

I heard the rain pouring at 4:30 am amd I knew it would be a rough one. It was, however, a great time spent with great men and I think I got a little better. Thanks for the push from you all and for the opportunity to lead!

These guys are quick

I watched the weather all week to make sure there was no rain in sight as I was preparing for a little mosey. 5:30 came as Red Ribbon appeared from the dark. Something like this happened.

Warm up:
20 Seal Jacks IC
20 Squats OYO
20 Goofballs IC
10 Hand Release Merkins OYO

Work:
Mosey around town stopping at each street or intersection for burpees, start with one then add another at each street. We got to 8 before stopping at Ida Rankin. If my maths right that 36 total.

My Sister-in-law is a machine so I stole something I saw on her Instagram page. We did a donkey kick against the pillars then went right into a Merkin, Bubba Sparxxx says we should call them Donkins, I like it. We did 10 then I checked the time, these guys are quick so I had to improvise.

We did a triple nickel of American hammers and LBCs. 10 more Donkins then another triple nickel, this time Flutters and oblique crunches. 10 more Donkins then we headed back to the flag. Still time left so we did a round of abs and stretches. With 5 minutes left I was out of ideas so Freon said dips, derkins and a lap. We did 15 to start then 10 to finish. Finally time!

Prayers and Praise:
Bubba Sparxxx’s friends 2 month old has another heart surgery
Rebar heart issues
Red ribbon’s new Nephew still in hospital
Relay runners and ruckers this weekend
Freons wife’s wrist surgery doing good with recovery

Announcements:
