Rust developed on the bell as humidity oozed in the gloom this morning. I was early and going through my stretching routine when a lone set of headlights inched up the hill to the Iron Academy. Princess Vespa pulled up with a puzzled look and asked me if the workout was moved to another location. Glancing at my phone I realized we were one minute out and we were going to be a small group. After a brief discussion we decided to sharpen our iron. After all…where two or more are gathered…

I quickly assumed Q responsibility; the disclaimer was disclaimed, and as a reminder to each of us…we are not professionals…let the sweat roll.

• Right over left and left over right stretches
• Berry/Grass pickers
• Imperial Walkers
• Hillbilly Walkers
• Moroccan Night Clubs

A short loop mosey to get the blood flowing and we arrive back at the bells.

Stealing from each HIM who has shared the Q role I quickly started into that thang:

• Around the world 10 each way
• 20 right hand followed by 20 left hand overhead tricep raises
• 20 two hand behind head tricep raises
• 20 Goblet Squats
• 50 LBCs with bell on chest
• 20 box cutters with bell on chest

Mosey because both of us love to run…rinse and repeat dropping count by half but adding…

• Around the world 10 each way
• 10 right hand and left hand overhead tricep raises
• 10 two hand behind head tricep raises
• 20 Goblet Squats
• 25 LBCs with bell on chest
• 20 box cutters with bell on chest
• 20 Bicep Curls each arm
• 20 bent over rows each arm
• 15 in place lunges each side

Mosey again as our love of running cannot be contained…stop by the Acadamy Wall for a little Peoples chair with arms out followed by a serious of low slow squats for a 20 count.

I think we got another round of the above knocked out because Princess Vespa was giving me that look so I decided to audible off the incredible plan I had so carefully crafted…

Calling for a one-two count so we could partner up…the PAX had a little difficulty with this but after trial and error we  were able to manage…I announced the audible.

• Partner one sprints 4 parking lines while partner 2 performs the low slow squat.
• Rinse and repeat until 100 low slow squats are achieved.
• Final 10 right hand and left hand overhead tricep raises
• Final 10 bicep curls right and left hand

I was honored to lead this impromptu Q with Princess Vespa,and blown away by the improvement I see as well as the effort expended by this HIM. Iron sharpening iron and this happens because of the men of this PAX..each of you…creating leaders out of each of us. The COT count off and nameorama occurred because tradition and consistancy are at the core of all we do. Announcements made (read your news letter) and prayers prayed.

Smiley Face Out!
