Today was a great group of Pax, ready and wanting to give it their all. Way to come strong and support your brothers. Urban Jungle group of 29 show up and we start a few minutes early to stretch.
World’s Greatest Stretch (WGS), slow diamond press down and up (10 count both ways). Then 10x ssh’s right into 10x standard merkins. Repeato x 5.
Off for a light run to the lot in front of REI. Circle up for 10x calf raises and 10x squats. Repeato x 5. Run down to underground parking ramp to the first floor. Sprint to the end and 10x standard merkins. Move to the next straightaway and repeat. Warm up done.
The Thang:
I keep the fun bags close, it adds weight and gases you. Over to the car and grab one bag for each group of three. Trot down the walkway next to the loading dock to the garage. one man stays, another goes to the far end of the garage and one is carrying the bag in between, passing the bag to their partner until the group does 100 burpees. Once done all meet in the middle and circle up. sit down for heel touches x 20. MC x 20 (opposite knee to elbow).
Back in the group of 3’s. same drill, but 300 squats. after all done, meet in the middle. LBC pyramid (move hand placement: flat, 45 and straight up), bird dogs.
Back in the group of 3’s, same drill, but 300 LBC’s. after all done, meet in the middle. 1 minute plank hold, diamond press (10 sec. down. 10 sec.up), low plank hold until fail. Had to cut the “fail count” short due to 3 badass pax: Popeye, Nemo & Life Alert. Those boys wouldn’t quit and got an ovation from the crowd. There were a few merry exercises missed, but oh well.
Back to the JC Penny lot for one more LBC pyramid and then done. ***Country Wide led the charge of mumble chatter, but kept pushing through…way to multi-task***
Thursday night is the meeting at Christ our King. Join Yoda and Countrywide if you can. Thoughts to get cooler heads through this election and to Popeye’s pal who got through rounds of chemo for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Baby Farley on a solid and uplifting out.
