Nur to rock bed down by light post to grab a rock for the following.
20 INC overhead chest press
15 INC chest press on your six
15 INC lat raises
15 INC curls

Sir Top Hat portion:
Moved back up to half wall behind elementary for 8’s. It’s been a while since he has been to a workout so he forgot we could only count to 7.
Burpee and muscle ups on wall

STH had a few extra minutes left because all the men were such studs and cruised right through the workout without a problem.
Wall sits with 15 heel raises mixed in for two cycles.

Weezer’s portion:
Mini Dora
75 merkins
100 squats – most of us didn’t listen very well and did 125
125 LBCs.

Cyclops portion:
Back down to the light poles, Long Duck was expressing his displeasure about how we kept moving him around back and forth between locations.
Each light pole – 9 merkins, 12 squats. I think we got to 4 before time to head to COT. On the way back to COT, Cyclops thought we should do 5 more burpees, but Barkley, Rebound and YHC bat flipped and kept running. We wanted to make sure we made it in time.

In Honor Of September, 11, 2001

WARMUP: All PAX but Shield dropped in the plank with their ears wide open to listen to our brother Shield share his experience as an NYPD officer on 9/11/2001. This included the names of a few of Shield’s fallen brothers. Some of us have been fortunate enough to hear him talk about that day but every time I hear it, I take away something new. This morning was no different.
Following the plank, we mentioned a few numbers of significance for the PAX to think about:
9 & 11: This was obvious
22: Years since that day 22yrs ago
100: The number of days Ground Zero in NY smoldered
ALL PAX 100 Side Straddle Hops (50 in cadence) & 22 Burpees

THE THANG: Grab your bell and meet over by Clickbait’s trailer where we had more gear. Everyone has a weight of some kind for the following 9 exercises:
11x Kettle Bell Swings
11x Thrusters
11x Goblet Squats
11x Bent Over Rows
11x Overhead Tricep Extensions
11x Big Boy Sit-ups w/ Weight
11x Bicep Curls
11x Standing Lunges
11x Overhead Press

We went through these 9 exercises one more time and occasionally modified the cadence.

In groups of 4, we all got to experience the 200lb sand bags for 4 reps, taking the bag from the hips, to the shoulders, to an overhead position, back to the shoulders and finally, back to the hips. If we weren’t on the 200lb sand bag, we did the same evolution with our own coupon.

Then, back to 22 Side Straddle Hops & 11 Burpees.

MARY: Throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lots in the newsletter & THE BLOOD DRIVE
COT: Indeed

Bricklayers convention

WARMUP: 10x ssh, windmills, imp walks
THE THANG: there were 2 stations set up at opposite ends of the school, each with 6 assignments to complete, for example assignment 1 = 25 squats and 20 mike tysons, assignment 2 = 60 lbcs, etc.

Pax picked one station to complete assignment 1 and ran back to the middle to take a free throw. If they made it, they ran a lap around the track and proceeded to the other station to complete assignment 1 there, but if they missed, they did 10 derkens before doing their lap and going to the next station.

Pax alternated stations doing the next assignment each time with the free throw/lap/maybe derkens (probably derkens) after each assignment

Fun was had by all
MARY: nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yup
COT: prayers for career discernment and safety at our schools
