YHC has been working at about 7000 RPM the past several weeks and did not have much of an opportunity to plan this morning’s workout (my VQ at #Mayhem) ahead of time.   At about 0430 hours, YHC had an epiphany.  What resulted was what YHC feels was a pretty doggone good show, although rumor has it that it did not go over well with everyone.  Oh well, you can’t please all the people, all of the time.

WARMARAMA –  A typical lineup of SSHs, Hillbillies, Seal Claps, Whirly’s with a social disease (when will he see a doctor and get rid of it?), and Abe Vigodas.  After completing our warmups, the PAX moseyed to the rockpile near the front of the driveway into the Meadowlark schools, where the fun began.

THE THANG –  YHC pre-positioned 5 lights, each approximately 20-25 yards apart, running along the side of the driveway.  The PAX were instructed to carefully select a rock from the pile, a rock with which they would become quite intimate over the course of the next 40 minutes.  (Zima selected one that he soon regretted.)  Here’s what transpired:

Starting at the first light, each PAX performs 25 reps of a listed leg exercise.   After completing the 25 reps of the leg exercise, each PAX runs (while carrying his rock) to the second light and performs 10 reps of a listed chest/arm/shoulder exercise.    Upon completion, each PAX runs (still carrying his rock) to the third light and performs 10 more reps of the same chest/arm/shoulder exercise.  Upon completion, each PAX then runs to the fourth light (still carrying his rock) and performs 10 more reps of the same chest/arm/shoulder exercise.   Upon completion, each PAX runs to the fifth light (still carrying his rock) and then gets down and performs 25 reps of a listed abdominal exercise.  Upon completion of the 25 reps of the first listed abdominal exercise, each PAX works his way back to the first light (still carrying his rock) in reverse order, stopping at the fourth, third and second lights to perform 10 reps of the same  chest/arm/shoulder exercise, resulting in the completion of a total of 60 reps of each chest/arm/shoulder exercise before moving on the next exercise in the list.

Having returned to the first light, REPEATO through the listed leg, chest/arm/shoulder and ab exercises until 0615 hours.

COT:  YHC took us out, giving thanks to our Lord for the day and for the opportunity to exercise and fellowship with one another, and asking Him to use each of the PAX to spread His word and glory.

Honored to have the opportunity to lead and hopefully provide a challenging and fun workout for the PAX.  Thanks for the keys, Zima!
