Getting Better

Interpret the title of this BB as you will. It could be that as AOs have opened back up that PAX are posting and getting in better physical and mental shape.

It could also mean that it only took one week to get the BB done instead of two weeks like the last one YHC did. We’re getting there. Maybe next time we’ll have it done before the weekend is over. Goals, folks. Goals.

We ran towards Martha’s. Actually, the rest of the PAX ran. YHC is coming off a brief stint on the IR so YHC walked.

Rock pushing at TRB

This gloom brought 5 men out to keep pushing the rock. It was warm. Should be, it’s June.

Warmup

Plank jacks x10 IC

Dying Cockroaches x10 IC

Grass Pickers x10 IC

Pledge of Allegiance

Mosey to the never before used baseball field. The outfield will be the site of the Triple Nickel. At the cone do Pickle Pounders, the other end do Morning Woods. Good for the blood flow!

Mosey around the fence to the hill beside the building for Elevens. Dips on the curb, bear crawl up the hill and do WW1 situps at the top. More blood flow!

Fellowship mosey to the back lot for Merkin Mania. Although I’m a founding member of the Merkin Haters Club I actually chose to do this myself. Do five reps of each merkin type:

  • Diamond
  • Regular
  • Wide Arm
  • Crucible
  • Stagger Left
  • Stagger Right
  • Tempo
  • Hand Release

Feel the burn. Next is YHC’s own creation, Ab Killers.

10 Oblique crunches each side then 50 LBCs. 15 Oblique crunches then 50 LBCs. 20 Obliques then 25 LBCs. Finally 25 Obliques then 25LBCs.

Because we have time and more rock needed to be pushed we did another round Merkin Mania. More blood flow!

Mosey back to the front for Bring Salley Up followed by side straddle hops and we’re done.

AyE!

Prayer Requests: Our country, law enforcement, Breaker Breaker’s mom, recent graduates

Thank you for the opportunity to lead men!!!

7 11’s

Well it’s been awhile since I have Q’d at Sandlot….heck, been awhile since I’ve Q’d period. Got into a slump…whatever. It was good to be back out here with a little responsibility instead of fartsacking or just posting. I was not nervous, more embarrassed that it has been so long. I got over it and showed up almost late….forgot my gloves and had to run back to truck to get them. Howdy FNG, let’s get started.

Introduction, 5 rules of F3 for the FNG compliments of Sargento then PLEDGE and  warm up: SSH, Merkins….don’t get up yet……mountain climbers, big boy situps, then we are off. Mosey to 7/11 for 7 elevens: 11 Merkins on 1 end, mosey through the gas fumes to the other side then 11 Big Boy situps on the other end for a total of 7 sets of exercises. Plan was to mosey to the dilapidated pharmacy but too much traffic and not interested in Frogger this am-OMAHA to the Planet Fitness parking lot and mosey around half way, lie on the ground and feel how comfortable the new parking lot it (take that Folsom, it. felt. GOOOOOOOOOD.) Get up and mosey around to the wall for some (thank you Watts Up) HIP SLAPPERS!!! 3 rounds of 10 reps with mosey across the lot between sets then heck, why not? Do a 4th set of hip slappers then mosey on over to Food Dawg for some 3LB…..what is 3LB you ask????? Why let me tell you…3 Lunges (right, left, right) then a burpee. 3 lunges then 2 burpees, 3 lunges then 3 burpees…..We went to the 3rd light pole thanks to Sargento. After hitting 5 burpees we Omaha’d to 6 lunges because I was almost crying. We moseyed back to Planet Fitness for some Bulldog Merkins (legs on the wall like a Dirty Hookup straightened out then 3 merkins) then mosey across the lot and back. Think we did 3 sets: note to self-put hands back a little or else it is a problem. Next, mosey to the loading dock for Sumo Squats X 10 then run to loading dock, up, then mosey back with plank until 6 arrives. We did this 3-4 times I think. Time was running short so we headed to the walls for dips and step ups then back to start for some Mary.

Time up-named our FNG: Packerooney, nice guy. Hope he comes back Sargento. I think he’s got a lot of potential.

COT then hit the road.

Gotta run, not much time for my usual BS in the backblast. Enjoyed it and been too long

Whoopee

Futurama

I predict this workout will go something like this…

 

Here at the Pub we live by a motto:

“Your pace, your distance.”

Some did my pace, some didn’t. Some did my distance, some didn’t. It was awesome regardless.
