3 lessons from Sugar Daddy

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Jog to the barber shop – various exercises in cadence – windmills, low slow squats, seal jacks, imperial and hillbilly walkers, plank and stretch – then PAX we’re off for a trip to the dumpsters

THE THANG: lesson 1 – work fast – treat movements with a sense of purpose and urgency. 7’s – merkins at the curb and squats at dumpster 1

Lesson 2 – change speeds – off to dumpster 2 – 7’s with burpees and merkins at ends of the parking lot. Be prepared as a leader to meet others at their pace when attempting to influence

Lesson 3 – throw strikes – mosey to Grace presby and do rounds of incline merkins, step ups OYO and dips at the benches and the curb. Then on the way to COT one more round of 7’s in motion – Diamond merkins and sumo squats. Our activities should be targeted at those priorities (concentrica) most important in our lives. Are they??

MARY: Geometry class – protractors, rosalitas and hello dollys. PAX kept feet off ground at all times……until 0600 anyway.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: of course
COT: remains the 5th core principle

Thanks for the call Slapshot

NMM
Discipline is doing the same thing over and over until you’re stronger, sharper, and unstoppable. Repetition builds resilience and consistency is a superpower that has compounding effects. Keep putting in the work. Even though it doesn’t seem like you’re making gains, you are getting better.

Aye!

Iron Mike made me late

Leave a comment

WARMUP: When you stay up late to watch Tyson, you sleep too long and then the site Q takes over. When you hear others stayed up to watch as well, you don’t have any excuses.

Thanks to JCruise for stepping in to get things started!

Disclaimer was given and we did a few warmup exercises before we got going: windmills, low slow squat, merkins, and cherry pickers.
THE THANG: Pearls on a string with a tour of campus. Started with 10 and then added 20 to the 10, and so on at each stop.
1. 10 bomb jacks
2. 20 Diamond merkins
3. 30 hammers (single count)
4. 40 squats
5. 50 flutters (double count)
6. 60 calf raises (3 different ways)

The tour took us to one entrance, then down a trail path, couple light poles, and all over. It was great and fun conversation.
MARY: quick round the horn call out of exercises
ANNOUNCEMENTS: got it
COT: CSPAN style!

What do we need hands for

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Spider-Man ran away…right away. And I don’t think I had said anything yet. Guess he just felt like runnn-ning.

Quick disclaimer as in 3 seconds fast. We call that efficient when you don’t have any rookies.

Ran to the parking lot over by the Indian restaurant for some warmup. Started with SSH, windmills, low slow squats, slow merkins, mountain climbers, and cherry pickers. Some of us didn’t even use our arms to stretch – pretty amazing.
THE THANG: 3 exercises, ran maybe a 100 meter loop, and did the exercises again.

Exercises were 20, 20, 40…and you picked which numbers applied to which exercises.
1. Merkins
2. Squats
3. Shoulder taps (double count)

1. Lunges
2. American hammers (double count)
3. Calf raises

1. CDD
2. Plank jacks
3. Seal jacks

1. Dips (on your planking partner)
2. Flutters (double count)
3. Overhead claps

Some of this was counted in cadence, some was done OYO.
MARY: Bandcamp took us out in some stretching
ANNOUNCEMENTS: of course
COT: always

Brick laying at the yard

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ssh, imp walkers, windmills, Peter Parker’s and shoulder taps, all in cadence
THE THANG: 2 workout stations were set up at opposite ends of the school parking lot. Each had a list of exercises/rep counts eg 40 flutters. In the middle was a basketball goal and the middle school walking track. Pax would proceed to one station and do the first listed exercise. They would return to the middle and shoot a shot. If it goes in, just run a lap and proceed to station 2 to do the first exercise there. If the shot misses, 10 derkins, then run a lap and proceed to station two. Repeat this until time.

We quit a little early and played a game of knockout – we’re bad at basketball
MARY: we went around the circle, but there were 2 set of burpees called, so Mary got a little out of control, and then the dog licked someone’s butt

We checked all the boxes today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: y
COT: y
