Ah, early October. As the temps drop, the baseball playoffs settle in, and the Panthers eliminate themselves from relevancy again….we get hockey. Sweet, sweet hockey. The puck drops tonight, with the Hurricanes starting their (it has to be this year, right?) championship season tomorrow. Bloodsport is cooking his amazing smashburgers, everyone’s beverage of choice is in the refrigerator, and House Wobegon will settle in at 7pm.
But for now, let’s get a workout worthy of Rod The Bod in, shall we?
The season has 82 games per team. So let’s do…
- 20 LBCs
- 20 Heels to Heaven
- 20 Freddy Mercurys
- 22 WW2s
Do you think it’s weird hockey has 3 periods, 20 minutes each, not two halves or four quarters? Is it because the Zamboni needs two sweeps? Is it because owners noticed they made the most money on hot dogs and beers during intermission, so they added a second one? YHC has heard both. Anyway, let’s do….
- 20 Alternating lunges
- 20 squats
- 20 reverse lunges
32 teams in the NHL, thanks to recent expansion. And they said hockey would never work in the desert or the south…the Cup defending Golden Knights of Las Vegas would like a word.
- 10 exploding merkins (a new one, see gif. These sucked. We’ll see them again I’m sure)
- 10 shoulder taps –each side
- 12 standard merkins
To the bench. Practice our line changes.
- 20 Squatty potties
- 20 alt leg raises
Penalty box! Down to the wall:
2 minutes sitting in the Sin Bin, 5 curls in people’s chairs down the line.
Get the blocks, it’s time for the Playoffs.
Lots of teams make the playoffs in the NHL. YOu have to be pretty bad to not make it to the Second Season. Yet the Canes managed to do just that for 10 years.
- 12 teams
- 4 wild cards
12 each:
- Curls
- Swings
- Bent row
- Skulls
- Overhead
- Chest Press
4 wild cards: Pax calls the exercise and reps by Q appointment. Everyone loved the picks. Boomerang is a nice man.
Now, hoist the Stanley Cup (aka your block) and carry your it back and time for Mary.
And done.
COT:
Huck and his family. Again parents, aging children, and aging bodies. The Middle East.
YHC took us out.
Great to be with a fine group this morning. Thanks for the keys, Adobe. I left them inside Lord Stanley’s cup.
