1 Jarvis + 1 Bobber = Acceleration

It was a beautiful morning at The Ballroom and the PAX were chomping at the bit to accelerate…Or was that Jarvis chomping on a T-Bone?🥩

Quick warmup with the Polish Mating Dance and we were off.

Over to the benches for some dips, step ups and irkins.

Over to the hill for some Chutes and Ladders. 🪜 There were two cones at each station and the PAX had to choose one of them. If they chose a C we had to Chute (run) up to the top of the hill. If it was an L we would run up to the next rung on the ladder. Each rung had two cones and some exercises. Let’s just say there was a lot of Chuting this morning.

Back to COT for prayers and praises.

JWow

1 Jarvis + 1 Bobber = Acceleration

Ascending Everest

WARMUP: Returned to Golden Corral COT to pay respects with Hillbilly walkers, imperial walkers, MNCs
THE THANG: 5/29 1953 – Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first to summit Mt. Everest 73 years ago. In honor of that, the Pax completed their own tribute climb. There are five camps plus the summit when taking the southern route to the peak:
Base camp 5364 meters (17,598 feet)
Camp one 6065 (19,900)
Camp two 6400 (21,000)
Camp three 7200 (23,600)
Camp four 7920 (26,000)
Peak 8,849 (29,032)
After a brief warmup and mozy to the church parking lot, we completed exercises at each camp as we ascended Everest. To acclimatize for the altitude, at camps one, two, three, and four we completed the exercises, returned to the previous camp (and the exercises there) before moving on to the next camp. (E.G. complete exercises at camp one, returned to base camp and the exercises there before ascending to camp three). Exercises reflected the altitude in meters:
Base camp: 53 flutters/64 shoulder taps
Camp one: 60 SSH/65 dips
Camp two: 64 merkins
Camp three: 72 LBCs
Camp four: 79 CDD, 20 Diamond merkins
Peak: 88 plank jacks, 49 overhead claps
With little time remaining, climbers did 25 squats at each base camp during their descent.
One oversight on YHC’s part is we did exactly ZERO mountain climbers during the ascent. We rectified the situation at COT with 10 mountain climbers just before 6:00.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, Golf tournament
COT: Family, Jobs, Summer break and prayers for kids, parents, teachers

Little bit more

Arrived on the scene early so I could mosey around the grounds and firm up my plans for the workout. Good thing to because during the pre-mosey had to alter my route and hit the gas station to make a deposit. Left feeling a little lighter and made it back to COT with a couple minutes to spare. Go time baby ( for the 2nd time )!

WARMUP: Recently posted at a Slapshot Q so borrowed this one from him. If you read this @UQ50TPDLH just know I had to 1 up you my friend by adding a rep, because 6 is not good enough man, we needed 7 reps ( SomethingAboutMary reference-hahaha ). Below was done at COT:
5 min EMOM
7 HR Merkins
7 Squats
7 Burpees

THE THANG: After the warm-up was complete we moseyed around Harris Teeter parking lot and traveled to the back of the store making it all the way around to the backside of Red Bowl where we found a strip of parking spaces to perform our Paula Abdul routine.
Bear Crawl 2 parking space lines forward, complete 2 merkins
Crawl Bear 1 parking space line backward, complete 1 merkin
Started from an island and the finish line was the next island. Mainframe finished first and ended the misery for the rest of us.
Upon completion asked the PAX to perform 1 set of Merkins to failure. Everyone shared their number, again, Mainframe was the King, that dude is a beast.

From the backside of Red Bowl we traveled across the street to the church where there is a nice, covered area with plenty of benches. Time to trash the legs.
PAX were asked to complete 15-10-5 reps – each leg – of the following exercises: Step-ups & BSSs
Upon completion we partnered up to spend some time under tension.
1 partner holds Al Gore while the other partner completes 10 jump squats. Keep trading places until you complete an accumulative rep count of 100 jump squats.

From there we moseyed back to the main grounds area and found a smooth surface near a set dumpsters ( can't remember the store next to the dumpsters ). Perfect for a Jack Webb core routine.
1 count exercise was BBSs
4 count exercise was Flutter Kicks ( count 1 leg )
1 count completes at 10 and 4 count completes at 40.
Upon completion asked the PAX to hold a 2 minute high plank.

From there needed to kill 2 minutes so we moseyed around the Harris Teeter parking lot and back to COT right on time. Theme of this workout was to give a little more when you already completed a difficult task. The little more you have to give is not for yourself, but for those who count on you, who need you. You always have a little bit left in the tank to give gents!

MARY: No time for her!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your NL!

COT: STK!
