Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey around the parking lot, approx 3/4 mile, then circle up for the following
15-20 of each
* SSH
* Windmill
* Imperial walker
* Moroccan night clubs
* Strawberry pickers
THE THANG:
Starting at where the warmup was, perform the following exercises OYO
* 5 burpees
* 10 box cutters

Did this for approx 35-40mins. Everyone got in at least 6-7 rounds. Great work! We stayed out front of the Teeter and avoided the skank stank out back! YAY!!

MARY:
Spent the last 2-3 minutes doing bird dogs – on hands and knees, then reach out the left arm and right leg, hold for a 60-sec count. Swap arms/legs for another 60-sec count. Then on to COT.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter! Get involved!

COT:
* Prayers and praises for the end of school year! Kids and teachers/staff have worked hard this year.
* Prayers continuing for Kevin Eby, missing for over a week. He frequented western NC and the mountains, so if you are out that way please keep a lookout.
* Praises for the return of Chicken Hawk as well as good luck with him creating his own job.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walker, Nightclubs, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Squats, Merks, Flutters, …etc
THE THANG: Pick a parking spot – let the fun begin – round 1: 3 exercises 10 reps each SSH, PlankJax, seal jack – flutters as the pax rotate down to next parking spot vacated in a rotating fashion ( bear crawl was mode of transportation)
Continue this cadence until you arrive back at original spot.
Round 2 – same cadence – 5 reps each – using parking block – Iron Mikes, Dips, and Bomb Jax – mode of transportation (mosey)
Time was flying so we stopped midway and headed for the “hill” by the football field that has a small minor smidge of an incline – where we began a round of 6s( modified to 4 s) due to time with Squats at bottom and Merks at top of hill.
Headed back to COT at the clock was ticking …
Mainframe helped us knock out 3 mins of Mary. Nice work by all!!!
The weinke looked better on paper. Q had to call a few audibles to make the time and reps bearable ( no pun)
Bear Crawls were welcomed with some mumblechatter:)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Cannoli run, Triple down Saturday w either the Yard or the Fort boot camps – coffee – then 5k at the Cannoli. Cake Boss celebrates a birthday yesterday 05/17, and read newsletter. Prayers for Luka and family. Sign up for meal train for Vuvu!!!

DOAH Sweeps the Q

Leave a comment

YHC was scheduled to Q, but had some 2.0 troubles overnight… so Dark Helmet graciously picked up the pre programmed Q.

World’s Worst Suicide
Mosey over to GHMS rear bus entrance. Start at basketball court.
PAX will travel forward three light posts and perform 5 burpees.
PAX will then travel backward two light posts and perform 5 merkins.
Rinse and Repeat as needed.

Thanks to DOAH for the help. Below is his version of what happened… can verify.

13 of the faithful came to a YHC led
“@Punch List is here in Spirit” Q…
• @Solo gave up his executive suite at
Planet Fitness to rejoin us in the gloom
• @Joe Lyons (F3 Long Duck) may be old, but at least he’s fast
• @Cobra Kai may be old, but at least he’s slow
• @fishstix may be old..
.. уир
• @Ölaf won the Fireball trophy
• @Poppins and @Vuvuzela were the kings today… by a fair margin
• @Badlands can be slowed down by excessive Merkins
• @Cyclops may or may not have done all of the reps while calling out to his estranged pets
• @SouptoNuts got faster as the workout went on… or I got a lot slower… or both… (probably both)
• @trucker is like Craftsman tools.
Reliable and not prone to wearing out.
• @Flounder ventured out as a lone man to discover the new world… still made it back for COT

Punch List out.

Be intentional on how we set an example
