Okay…first things first. What a GREAT AO! So many options….so many terrible things you could do with a workout at this place. Second, you dudes are awesome. Venturing out this morning in a Piedmont ” snow storm “, risking life and limb, all for the promise of a little comic relief…and maybe a little WeFoCo style beatdown. Brings a tear to the eye.
And finally….Let’s discuss the title. Okay, so you guys know me. I have said it before and I will say it again, I’ve got one of those, what they call ” art brains “. I can’t remember a routine if my life depended on it. So I always, well most days, show up with weinke in hand. ( It’s 8.5″ x 11.0” and laminated. Geesh, tough crowd this morning. Think it’s time to visit the optometrist boys ). So anyway, I was looking for some cool images to add to the old cheat sheet. What did I find??? The man, the myth, the legend… Ed O’Neil, sitting on the throne. That was it. It didn’t make any sense at all, was totally unrelated to the workout itself; who cares. I give you……”drum roll”….. The AL Throne.
Warm-O-Rama:
Quick intros….. Mission Statemnetâś“ , 5 Core Principlesâś“, Let’s roll.
SSH, Whirly w. Clap, Abe V., ( Just before the Abe Vagodas, CherryPie runs in. Palin makes sure I know and maybe suggests something along the lines of arm swirlies. ) I opted for the change-up. Tie Fighters. Pax were confused, so I had to demonstrate. We did these, front leaning both left and right leg. Cherrie Pie wasn’t amused and did the usual Cherry Pie thing. BEAST.
The THANG:
Pax were instructed to go grab some blocks. Again, Palin being the gentleman he is, offered to lead us over to the blocks. ( He knew I hadn’t posted at the Throne….well, once. ) He decided to lead the Q and the PAX on a more scenic route to said block pile. We finally got there.
Combination…got it. Thank you site Q.
I felt the instructions were pretty simple. Come on, it was Monday morning. Can’t get too crazy.
10 Exercises. Complete 15 reps of each. Once complete, take a lap around the track.
When you get back, add 5 reps to all. Rinse and repeat.
The Q brought his WeFoCo ghetto blaster with an awesome set of woofers and disco lights. Crowd favorite.
– Curls, Merkins, Skull Crushers, Diamond Merkins, Overhead Press, Wide Merkins, Chest Press, Ranger Merkins, Lawnmowers, Dive Bombers. RUN.
All in all, I believe most everyone got through 3 rounds, minus the last lap. Crushed!
Mary:
No time. We got the blocks back to the pile with less than a minute left.
COT:
There was a little miscommunication here. Since we were completely out of time, I opted to do the COT by the dumpsters. 2 PAX went AWOL. When the arrived back to the new COT spot, there was some protesting. I told them to take it up with the Site Q, but reminded them that I would be back in a month!
Announcements:
Beverly…Run For HOPE this weekend. Check Slack. Run, Walk, RUCK, donate. Do what you can.
GreeNest this Saturday. 60 Minutes has the Q. Reach out.
Prayers:
Prayers for FrankandBeans kid. Medical diagnosis.
Prayers for Lamb Chops fraternity brother. Passed away. Prayers for family, wife and 2 kids.
YHC took us out.
NMM:
Well….what else can I say. You men. Awesome. Awesome work. Thank you for coming out this morning. You guys breezed through this. STUDS!
It was an honor to come out and lead. Thank you for the opportunity. I do apologize for my poor choice of FONT HEIGHT. I just wanted everyone to stay real close and stay warm this morning. I also wanted to offer ample opportunity for PAX to get in their Merkin count this morning. I think I heard a few “ouch” comments throughout. Mission accomplished.
Great mumblechatter. It’s always great to catch up with some PAX I may not see that often. It’s also great to meet new PAX.
Can’t wait to SYITG very soon. Cheers brothers.
Adobe – OUT.
