Don’t Get Stuck In The Suck

Leave a comment

WARMUP: A few exercises in the parking lot after letting the Birds fly free in honor of Super G, who missed out on this adventure due to work travel.

THE THANG: The weinke featured 3 running options and a related exercise count of high, med, or low # based on the running route selected by each pax.

Route 1 — run loop around the bandshell (short, flat run + High rep count)
Route 2 — run to stop sign at Ardrey St and back (moderate hill, longest run + Med rep count)
Route 3 — run to top of Stairway to Heaven and back (steep hill + Low rep count)

Three rounds for each exercise and pax can take any combination of routes + related reps, doing the exercise at the end of each route.

Exercise 1 – Monkey Humpers
Exercise 2 – Flutters
Exercise 3 – Merkins
Exercise 4 – Shoulder Taps
Exercise 5 – Sumo Squats
Exercise 6 – Burpees (in honor of Super G, inspired by the Q Whisperer Minuteman)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men's Shelter July 2nd

COT: Pax pushed themselves hard today (and each other) in very swampy weather conditions!

Amid the suck, we bantered about the realities of an endlessly chattering mind that sometimes takes over the human (inspired by a country song by Jimmie Dale Gilmore called "My Mind Has A Mind Of Its Own". This happens to all of us, because we're human. We're made this way. In the words of Pusher "People Suck" and that includes all of us. We're also glorious sons made in the image of our Creator. So, don't wallow in the "I suck" headspace. Apologize where needed. Learn from mistakes. And just shake the voices and get moving again. Yes, you suck, AND you're amazing. Live into your amazingness and don't get stuck in the suck!

Thanks for the Q invite Minuteman and thanks to the pax for the terrific effort!

Pax shared about struggles and choices related to healthy eating, exercise, alcohol, porn, tobacco, foul language and more. Thanks to everyone for pushing through the stiff humidity and sharing openly. Inspiration came from the prompt below that crossed my radar in the past two weeks:

You say "I would die for my family"

OK, but …

Would you exercise for them? would you eat healthy for them? would you chase your dreams for them? would you quite your bad habits for them?

You don't need to die for them

You need to live for them

Thanks @U08N41FCN0Z for the Q invite! #KeepPosting

AI Gone Wild

Leave a comment

The talk of the morning was about the AI videos created by JWOW had gone off the rails. The conversation would take our minds off the wet and rainy weather.
We began with a trip around the park stopping at each swing for an exercise. We detoured twice out in the field to enjoy the moist grass. Next, we made our way to front of Pike Engineering where we did three rounds of dips, derkins, split squats. Short trip to the adjacent parking lot for three rounds of partner exercises, Partner 1 ran while Partner 2 did muscle ups on the brick wall.
Next, we bear crawled to the top parking lot, continue our journey to the parking lot across from the Donut Shop. We did a short version of concaine bear. Ran it backways, replaced merkins with CCDs.
We made our way to Print Shop for 10 good pull-ups. Back to WEP for a round of 7s and a bear crawl around the theater.

5 – 25 – 250

Leave a comment

Slow mosey around the perimeter of the parking lot, then circle up near COT for the following
WARMUP:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 Windmills
  • 20 MNC
  • 15 Strawberry Pickers
  • 20 OH clamps

Then mosey over to the start of the WEP loop near the parking lot.
THE THANG:
5-25-250
In honor of Memorial Day (5-25) and the 250th Birthday of the United States of America
Run the WEP sidewalk loop. Start at the bathroom side so we get that nice uphill There are 11 swing stations. Run between stations. Stop at 10 of them, then do 25 reps of each of the 5 exercises at each of the 10.

  1. Merkins
  2. Mountain climbers
  3. LBC
  4. LSS
  5. Imperial walkers

At one station about halfway through we stopped to talk about the history of Memorial Day.
So mathing things out
5 exercises
25 reps each
10 stations
250 reps total of each exercise
By the time we got back around to the amphitheater it was 6am on the dot.

Simple yet effective. Repetition seems boring but doing max reps of an exercise, until it burns, builds tolerance, endurance, strength. We hit all major muscle groups. Got smoked.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Alot going on. Read the newsletter and get involved.
COT:
Alot lifted up. Family health issues, kids, parents, teachers finishing school; anniversaries; sons going into harm's way to help others; PAX health both mental and physical; and more.
