Tag: Mt. Hollywood (Page 9 of 13)

7 PAX joined YHC to work on their movie star level abs. This was the 2nd (and definitely not final) rendition of this workout. Join us next time to hear Sister Act say: “What a douche!”

Until then,

GD

12 Pax rolled in to the newly paved parking lot of Mt. Hollywood and I haven’t Q’d in a while so let’s keep it simple.
Warmup SSH x 15 IC, Cotton Pickers x 15 IC, Low Slow Squats x 15 IC Pledge.

Everybody grab your own block out of black beauty (my vintage vehicle) and circle back up for a circuit of:
Curls x 20
Triceps Presses x 20
On Your Six Chest Presses x 20
Shrugs x 20 (put down the block)
Flutter Kicks x 20
American Hammers x 20
LBC’s x 20
Big Boy Sit Ups x 20
Run a lap around the exquisite parking lot.
We completed three sets then put up the blocks. Thanks to whoever put one in the drivers seat.

Mosey across the road and down W. Catawba to the BB&T parking lot wall.

Partner up for a Dora. 100 LBC’s, 200 Freddie Mercuries and 300 Squats. Partner 1 runs out of the parking lot and up the hill to the road and does 10 Merkins and returns while Partner 2 performs the exercises then switch.

We are a little ahead of schedule so since we are at a wall. Hip Slappers x 10 IC, then 9 IC (I was tired), then 10 IC again. Some guy with a moustache started talking about a shuffle of some kind.

Mosey back to the flag the long way down Oakland to W. Central Ave.

A quick word about Exhortation from our Q Source Sunday study. We should all try to be better at Exhortation and not be afraid to encourage and lift up those we are around. Thanks to all the Pax who showed up this morning and got just a little better.

We snuck into the Mt. Hollywood parking lot as it was roped off for a potential repave!! Yes you read that right, Mt. Hollywood may go from the worst parking lot to the best. Come out next Monday and see what you are missing. Anyhow, we gathered and no FNGs so we moseyed down to Central Ave for 15 burpees to get warmed up. Then moseyed down to Oakland St for 20 walking lunges. Moseyed back to wall by the Elementary School where the real beatdown began.

Prayer and off we go into the week.

It was a lucky day for 13 PAX who tackled a GD ab workout in 96% humidity.

Warmup – 25 SSH. I’m an idiot, you’re an idiot, let’s go.

Mosey down to First Baptist for Dora in the parking lot. All abs. You get the idea.

Mosey to the bottom of Baptist hill for a twisted dirty triple nickel. 5 hand release merkins, mosey to the middle for the dirty LBFCs, twist around and nur it up the rest of the (longer than I remembered) hill for 5 jump squats at the top. 5x.

Mosey to BB&T for ab escalators. No time to de-escalate, but there is time for a plethora of merkins on the way home. Enjoy.

Good to see some new faces out at Mt. Hollywood. This is a great time to be EHing friends (and foes), family, and strangers alike, especially with gyms being closed down.

Get ready for the Mt. Mitchell hike on the last Sunday of September and a whole bunch of special stuff coming to an AO near you in the fall.

Pray for Huck and SA’s family.

Until next time,

GD

The air this morning was so thick that it felt like you had a wet blanket wrapped around you, but 9 PAX didn’t let that stop them from putting in some work. After a short disclaimer, the pledge and a short warmup we headed off into the darkness to begin the day.

Mosey to Rankin Elementary for Lindsay’s with a lap. Start with 30 HR Merkins and 10 American Hammer’s then run a lap around the lot. Repeat with 25/15, 20/20, 15/25, 10/30.

Head down to Oakland Street and perform 10 Squats at each driveway then turn left and head down to Main Street. Stop at each driveway on Main Street for 5 Burpee’s.

Next we headed up Central and stopped at the bottom of the hill for a Triple Nickel. 5 Diamond Merkins at the bottom and 5 Big Boys about halfway up the hill.

Still time left so let’s go back to the school for another round of Lindsay’s. This time we did CDD’s and Flutter Kicks.

Back at start right at time.

NMM/COT

Hebrews 4:16 – “Let us approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Christ understands our weaknesses and experienced our pain and suffering during his time on Earth. Knowing this we can be confident that when we bring our needs to him through prayer we will receive the mercy and grace he has promised.

Mary

Word (which I forgot to share): Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Ground yourself in the Word, God’s truths and promises. Do not let the world and the media conform you to their ways and ways of your thinking. The Lord wants a relationship with You. Get with Him, get with each other, and let’s encourage and build one another up in God’s truths.

Announcements:

PT test this Saturday at Gashouse-7am. No regular Gashouse workout or Painlab. YAnk and Folsom will still be going.

YHC took us out.

Keep coming out, men! Don’t let the fartsack get ya..I am encouraged by you guys and am thankful for ya!

Seuss out (and Backblast in, Watts up..same day;)

Warm and muggy in downtown Mount Holly and in roll the Pax. Freon and Red Ribbon appear from the darkness. We have an FNG named Nick Snipes. Disclaimer was given. He didn’t fall for the “What is your favorite Disney princess line?” and said he had been warned to be careful what he said.
Pledge
Warmup
SSH x 15 IC, Right over left Stretch x 10, Left over right stretch x 10, MNC’s x 10 IC (Sister Act has a look of utter disgust as he doesn’t see the value of MNC’s and they are not on his list of 4 exercises that should be the only exercises we do), and this is the unplanned part for my man Slaw, 5 burpees OYO. Mosey across the road and down through town to the Presbyterian Church parking lot with the slight incline.
The Thang
I was looking for something new last week in the Weinke category and came across something from from Royale (the Nantan in Lake Wylie region) that sounded interesting called Snake Shuffle. Get in line and mosey side to side on each parking space line all the way up to the top around 15 spaces. We were going down the lines and then back which slowed it down a little but everyone got the hang of it and moseyed right up the inclined lot and it really worked the legs. Back down to line up across from the first parking space line and bear crawl 3 spaces then do 5 Merkins all the way to the top. Back down again, this time Lunge 3 spaces and then 5 squats all the way to the top. Mosey back down to the start and Repeat all that again. I can’t feel my legs. Thanks Royale.
Mosey across the street to the back of the bank for Reverse Pyramid Ouchies. Again I see the look of disgust from Sister Act. After all this time, he still doesn’t trust me. This is doing 20 reps of an exercise and running out the parking lot up the hill to the road and back then 15-10-5-10-15-20 (equals 100) running after each. First exercise was LBC’s, 2nd exercise was Merkins. 3rd exercise was Flutter Kicks which we didn’t get to finish. Mosey back to the flag.

Take a knee as we name the FNG. He works security and also goes to church with Seuss. Welcome Fife!

Announcements: PT Test at Gashouse on Saturday, July 18th.

COT Prayer Requests: Clavin’s M, Broke and Digger as they travel, Sister Act’s daughter and family. Our Country. Seuss took us out.

NMM *All they guys pushed hard this morning as I was at the back of the pack again. Mount Hollywood is becoming known for having some rock pushers who really get after it. I had a list from Q Source yesterday about Virtuous Leadership words. These words can help each of us be better leaders wherever we have influence. Candor, Commitment, Consistent, Contentment and Courage. Thanks to all of the guys for pushing to be better and make each man around us better.
