Egyptians invented the BLIMP at Purgatory

QIC: BAM

Date: 08/12/17

PAX: Kapow (WB), Green Acres (WD), Splash, Boomerang, The Singing Cowboy, Spamalot, Undertow, Axl Rose (aka Sgt Shultz), Cardiac Arrest, Plunger

On a gloomy and moist Saturday morning the pax gathered.  Little did we know that Green Acres chose to begin his birthday celebration by posting.  Demonstrating one more reason he’s the strongest #respectrespect out there!

Pax were also joined by Axl Rose after the concert last night.  Turns out it was Sgt. Shultz rocking a sweet wig.  We hoped he would keep it on throughout, but alas, he’s not used to working out with hair.

We launched out for the warmorama, do an exercise, mosey a little, etc.

• SSH
• Squats
• Copperhead Merkin
• Mt. Climbers
• IW
• and probably something else

The Thang

Pax assembled on the baseline of the tennis courts (that’s the line that not the sideline Plunger) and learned about how the Egyptians built their pyramids with BLIMPS

• 5 Burpees
• Round the world suicides – service line & back, net & back
  • Facing forward
  • Apollo creed
  • Facing backward
  • Apollo creed
• 5 Burpees + 10 Lunges (each leg)
• Round the world
• 5 B + 10 L + 15 IW
• Round the world
• 5 B + 10 L + 15 IW + 20 Merkins
• Round the world
• 5 B + 10 L + 15 IW + 20 M + 25 Plank Jacks
• Round the world
• 5 B + 10 L + 15 IW + 20 M + 25 P + 30 Squats
• Round the world
• Go back down the pyramid

Needless to say, this was both a crowd pleaser and took a minute.  Pax put in great effort and had nothing but gratitude and kind words for the Q during this exercise.

Mosey back to parking lot and stop for some fly fishing with Del Browns!

• 10 Merkins
• Crab walk to middle
• 10 Diamond Merkins
• Crab walk to end
• 10 Merkns

Mosey back for a full 6 MoM

NMM

• Kotters to Cardiac Arrest!
• Qfail – YHC forgot to reserve tennis courts with city, thankfully pax were able to scare off most of the potential players (that and the wet courts)  Although didn’t succeed on Flying EH of #sadclown player practicing his serve
• Crab Walks are Splash’s kryptonite & El Guapo.  This is good intel since he’s tough to slow down.
• There was a definite difference in the pace of the two courts pax spread out over. There was the “proper form” court, led by Green Acres, and the “I’m gonna look more in shape than I really am by going fast” court (this would be a joke born out of the impressive work the other court put in)
• Singing Cowboy – 8 days post hospital release and he’s out busting it!
• The concepts of pyramids, spelling, rotating, and proper names for lines on a tennis court added to the challenge of the BLIMPS Pyramid.  #nocharge

Prayers

• The Singing Cowboys continued great recovery
• Root Canal’s father’s memorial service today at 2
