THE THANG: Traditional body builder focused workout with the goal of complete muscle exhaustion to precipitate growth. The heaviest weight was used possible with a maximum of 5 reps with perfect form. Each target muscle flight started with a pre-fatigue movement without weight focusing on squeezing the muscle followed by a movement breakdown of lower target, upper target, full range motion. Then three, five second negative sets followed by a 15 second isometric or power hold to blow out the muscle. Each flight concluded with a plyometric exercise accompanied by a targeted muscle exercise again. The Weinke floated away several times!!

Running running running and then back to where we started.
4.4 mile route.
Hardee’s closed for good yesterday so no stop for a biscuit on the way by.
I thought it would be a good idea to write down my Q on a slip of paper to make sure I remembered everything about our stops this morning. Yep, lots of Q mocking.
Simple workout this morning, we stopped at every ice cream/dessert shop between the AO location and Gold Hill Road. Short disclaimer, we are crossing roads, look out for cars.
Exercises at each stop: Merkins, Squats, LBCs, and CCDs. reps determined by a complicated mathematical equation.
First stop: Dairy Queen, Earlier arrivals: SSHs, rep count 10
DQ was the only franchise in my home town. We had a late bus that would take us home after football practice. The bus driver stopped at DQ and let us purchased food while she dropped off the other students on the other side of town. Only rule was she was not waiting for anyone on the way back. I ordered a chicken sandwich (Bad Choice) which took longer than normal and I got left at the DQ. Luckily, I was able to get a ride back to my bus stop before the bus arrived.
Back to the workout:
Stop #2 – Pelicans – Over 100 flavors of ice, open for over 20 years.
Early Arrivals – Jump Squats,
Rep count 20 (Merkins, Squats, LBCs, and CCDs)
Stop 3 Dunkin Donuts –
Early Arrivals – Plank
Rep count 15 (Merkins, Squats, LBCs, and CCDs)
Fifteen represented the number of Dunkin Donut stops located between my apartment and work when I lived in MA. Best donut – Jelly filled cruller (I don’t think they make them any more, but if you find them let me know).
Stop 4 – Brewsters – Over 150 ice cream flavors, open 1989
Early Arrivals – Lunges
Rep count 35 (Merkins, Squats, LBCs, and CCDs)
Stop 5 – Abbotts – Over 121 flavors, open in 1902
Rep count 30 (Merkins, Squats, LBCs, and CCDs)
Back to COT.
Ice cream is one of my favorite food groups. Each shop has many choices, like our lives, we have many choices. Our attitudes toward family, friends, and others. Our interactions with coworkers, clients, and people we meet throughout the day. Choose to be better.

COT:
After a week of living the beach life for spring break, I was a bit unsure how my body would react to resuming physical activity.
WARMUP: a few Pax did a pre-run of about 2.25 miles from Earthfare down to Richard’s Crossing and back.
Fishstix grabbed his Ruck so that Flounder would not be solo.
THE THANG:
Head towards gold hill middle school via Dave Gibson – stopped 3 times:
1) Plank – up/down dog – merkins IC – MtnClimbers IC
(this is point where Bandcamp began questioning in his head if I actually had a plan or was just winging it)
2) Al Gore – seated MNCs IC – Squats IC
(this is point where Bandcamp verbalized his previous thoughts)
3) LBCs IC
(this is point where I started winging it just a little bit)
Moseyed to bottom of Athletic Fields entrance to Gold Hill Middle (hill with lightposts)
run to light pole 1 and do 5x merkins, LBCs, Squats. return to beginning light pole.
run to light pole 2 and do 10x merkins, LBCs, Squats. return to beginning light pole.
increase reps by 5 through the 5th light pole where 25 reps were completed.
(this is point where I kinda winged it)
Original plan was to make it to 6th pole for 30 reps but YHC could barely make it through the 25 reps without breaking so modification necessary- starting at bottom do 5x reps of same exercises at all lightpoles in run up the hill (7 lightpoles)
(this is point where I totally winged it)
Mosey back to middle school with a stop at the basketball court for some Bobby Hurleys.
Head back toward CoT with 3 stops:
1) Wide arm Merkins
2) Sumo Squats
3) Freddy Mercuries IC
Arrived back at CoT with just less than 3 minutes to spare
