Small crew of three this morning.

I gave blood yesterday afternoon so decided to stay off the arms this morning.

Mosey with a couple stops for some Al Gores and Bobby Hurleys

It was my first time posting at Mt. Hollywood and for that matter I had no idea where I could create my “Weinke.” I got there about 15 minutes early, and drove around Mount Holly Middle, Rankin Elementary and into downtown Mount Holly. As I gathered my thoughts, I came up with the workout.

Seeing no FNG’s, I gave a quick disclaimer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

We took a mosey to toward West Central Avenue and went to an area near the railroad tracks where we circled up for a warm up.

WARM UP:
Goofball x 20 (IC)
MNC x 10 (IC)
SSH x 25 (IC)
Merkin x 10 (IC)
Mountain Climbers x 20 (IC)
Downward dog stretch into a honeymooner

DORACIDES:
We partnered up. One partner ran to the first light pole and did a burpee, sprinted back and ran to the second light pole for a second burpee and sprinted back.  While partner 1 was doing this the other partner was starting on the set of exercises (100 merkins, 200 flutter kicks, and 300 squats.)

After this, I decided we should rest so we lunged walk from the star to the first light pole and then bear crawled from the first light pole to the second light pole.

TRIPLE NICKEL:
As we moseyed back toward South Hawthorne Street, I noticed the hill on the grass field at Rankin Elementary.

We started at the fence and did five merkins, broad jump to the middle and did five plank jacks and bear crawled up the hill and did five monkey humpers.

ESCALATOR:
We moseyed back to the school and did an escalator of exercises (10 hand release merkins, 20 alternating shoulder taps, 30 squats, and 40 mountain climbers).

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
May 15 – A new workout at the Fighting Yank (More information contact Flinstone or HIPPA).

May 22 – Starbust Ruck (Contact Boss).

F3 Gastonia is collecting band aids, toothpaste, and tooth brushes this month.

PRAYERS:
Continue to keep Sister Act, Big Pappy, and Gumby in your prayers.

AYE,

4 HIM showed at the AO for a beatdown today. It was a little chillier than anticipated so there’s nothing to do but got after it. This is what happened…

Pledge of Allegiance

DIsclaimer – I’m a pro, do what I say.

Warmup – Goofballs IC, Don Q’s IC, the Sargento Right over Left IC

Since most of this AO’s name starts with MH, YHC decided to take it all the way to the MHC and boycott all Merkins for this workout. In fact, we’d be doing nothing but Hard Core the whole time (and some running).

Mosey to the right toward downtown.

Stop at the first parking area for 4 Corner Escalators. This was the biggest 4 corners ever, going all the way around town. At the first “corner” we did 10 V-Ups IC. Mosey down to the Italian place for “corner” 2 where we did 10 V-Ups IC and 20 WWI situps. Mosey down Main Street to the next “corner” and do 10 V-Ups IC, 20 WWI’s and 30 American Hammers each side. Mosey again up to the corner by the elementary school for the last round of 10 V-Ups, 20 WWI’s, 30 Am Hammers and 40 Freddy Mercury’s IC. We only got halfway through the Freddies before we stopped. Omaha!

Mosey up to the middle school parking lot for the next situation. 11’s at one end do Peter Parkers, at the other end do Crunchy Frogs. Fun!

Fellowship mosey to where the benches used to be but keep going to the never before used concrete benches. Do Racoon Crawls across the top of them, 6 in all.

Last round of the day, do 25 IC reps of LBCs, Flutter Kicks, Nolan Ryan’s each side, Dying Cockroaches and real Oblique Crunches each side.

Mosey to the start and we’re done. Thanks for the opportunity to lead men!

Announcements – Lots of ruck stuff

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:

Thanks for another opportunity to get better.
