The hammer of Thor

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We got the party started with SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, and some stretching (hamstring and back).
THE THANG: Today was pretty straight forward and kudos to the avenger Thor for the inspiration of the different exercises.
– 10 reverse curls
– 10 shoulder press
– 10 tricep extension
– 10 squats
– 10 lunges each leg
– 10 upward rows
– 10 Thor hammer chops each side (basically low to high across your body, hip to above your shoulder)

Quick 30 second break, short jog, short walk back, farmer carry the weight to the next stop.

We got through 6 rounds. Thor hammers were deemed the worst.
MARY: not today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter, convergence and invergence happening

NMM

Monday we honored my friend Mark. Mark was a 4.25 GPA student, captain of the soccer team, and an all-around great young man. He was the guy you wanted to hate because he was good at everything. But once you got to know him, you learned that he was the type of guy you strived to be. When he graduated high school, he attended the Air Force Academy. Upon graduation in 2005, he completed Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, and Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. Captain McDowell completed the Basic Qualification Course – F-15E in May of 2008 and was assigned to the 336th Fighter Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina.

Mark’s plane went down in Afghanistan. He left behind a wife, loving family, and many friends. As his grandfather said at his service, “He was born to fly and he died doing what he loved.”

If Mark were here today, he would have been the guy crushing the workout from the front with a smile on his face. He would have been the guy to encourage the whole time. Remember, we GET TO do this. Some others aren’t as blessed.

Aye!
