Marital Bliss
QIC: Turnover
Date: 7.6.20
PAX: H.O.G. (WB) , Tigger , Palin , Drip (WD) , Turnover (Q)
Fresh off a gloriously beautiful (and wicked hot) July 4th weekend, it was time to work off the hot dogs, pasta salad, and brewskis. YHC had an Anniversary-Themed beat down in mind to get the PAX back in fighting shape. 7 years ago today, YHC pulled off the biggest con in the history of man kind when I got my beautiful M to marry me. In celebration of this herculean feat, YHC treated the PAX to a beat down mostly featuring reps of 7.
Warm o Rama
The Usual Suspects
Mosey to path that leads to Campus
Every 2nd light pole we would stop for a set of 7 reps of a called exercise.
Burpees x7
Merkins x7
Squats x7
Burpess x7
Merkins x7
Squats x7
Burpees x7
14 light poles, stop every 2 light poles for 7 total stops. #Symmetry
After we reached the end of the path, we took a quick left to the empty parking lot that greets you as you arrive to campus.
PAX wer instructed to find a parking space they were especially fond of (so long as they were appropriately socially distanced from the other PAX) for what F3ENC calls the “Captain America”.
1 Burpee –> 4 lateral hops over line
2 Burpees –> 8 Lateral hops
3 Burpees –> 12 Lateral Hops
Follow this pattern to 10 Burpees –> 40 lateral hops.
Upon everyone picking up the 6, we moseyed to the other end of said parking lot for some socially distanced partner work.
Partner 1 would complete 10 Jump Squats while Partner 2 completed 20 Merkins
Once complete, the partners would swap exercises so Partner 1 did 20 Merkins and Partner 2 did 10 Jump Squats
P1: 9 Jump Squats, P2: 18 Merkins :: P1: 18 Merkins, P2: 9 Jump Squats
Continue this pattern down to 1 Jump Squat :: 2 Merkins
Mosey back down the path to RV and head to base of hill below Silo
No time for 11’s (or traditional 7’s for that matter) so we just did 7 reps of 2 exercises.
Mike Tysons x7 at the bottom of the hill, mosey to top of hill for Lt. Dan’s x7
We only had time for 2 rounds (14 total reps of each)
Mosey to Launch for
MARY
Cobra Crunches x21
Low Flutter x21
Mutton Crunch x10 each side
Gas Pumps x21
Finish

Continued prayers for @Tigger and his M who have Baby #2 arriving any day now
Praise for @Drip’s 2.0 who is successfully recovering from Covid
Shmedfest is August 28 and 29
YHC took us out thanking Him for our blessings and for the reminder that everything we say and do would bring glory to Him and not ourselves.

@Palin was in attendance this morning, so the MC was plentiful
We discussed the scientific/medical name for “Walking the Dog” in between Upward facing dog and Downward facing dog. Jury is still out on the official name
Apparently Vikram (Bikram?) yoga is a big thing….although the dude it’s named after may not have been a good person? Not sure. See Netflix for the deets.
@Tigger is really having a big week: the imminent arrival of his 2nd child, but more importantly, he got a new fanny pack. It really did look slick. Multiple pockets. Sturdy strap. Luxury at it’s peak.
When @Palin asked what P1 should do after completing the jump squats and waiting on P2 to finish the Merkins, YHC flippantly stated that you could point and laugh at them until they finished….@Palin wasted no time in exercising this option. Sorry @Drip and @HOG
Speaking of @Drip, this guy is the absolute embodiment of #Grit. No yapping, no complaining. Just puts his head down and does the work. And when he’s done, he just smiles to show you he’s clearly unfazed by whatever brutal exercise was called.
Every time I write a back blast for a beat down where H.O.G. was in attendance, I feel like I just end up saying the same thing: H.O.G. doing H.O.G. things, leading the way THE ENTIRE morning. Well done, sir.
Also, don’t forget to register for your UNC classes this Wednesday. Check your Google calendar for more details.
YHC really enjoyed having a smaller group this morning. I feel like that lends itself to being able to chat with everyone at some point. Truly enjoyed the fellowship with all assembled #HIM.
Always an honor to lead. Thanks for the keys, H.O.G.. They’re probably at the end of the path where we all tried to do burpees facing downhill.
