Early Celebration of a Big 50th Anniversary

QIC: Drama Queen

Date: 03/25/2024

PAX: Cruiser, Spicoli, Drama Queen

Last Sunday evening rolled around and it was time to check to see who had the Q at Village Idiocy.  Surprisingly, YHC had a DM from site Q Cruiser – hmm I am the Q.  Thought I was on for 4/15 but no problem we’d do the plan a little early.

However, when the time arrived it was only Cruiser and YHC. Spicoli texted that he was OTW and arrived well within the window of Spicoli time.  We finished up the warmorama and moved via several dynamic warmups like butt kickers, Apollo Creeds, etc across the main parking lot down to the lower one where we gathered some rocks.

In celebration of this week’s opening of baseball season and the 50th anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth’s HR record in the first week of the 1974 season, the beatdown was the oft repeated 700 Club.

2 stations about 30 yards apart with 7 exercises at each stop.  Run between the locations.  2 sets of 25 reps before moving down the cardboard.

Rock station = swings, curls, dead lifts, overhead press, bent over rows, squats w/rock, and floor to shelf

Body weight station – merkins, freddie mercs, monkey humpers, low dollies, lbcs, plank jacks, and side straddle hops

More or less in that order

When done we’d completed 700 reps. But wait Hank hit 715 in 74 – so since time was dwindling instead of burpees we knocked out 15 squat jumps.

Mosey back to launch for a short session of Mary.

Good conversation on baseball, juicing (not the citrus kind) and other topics.  Group of 3 always makes for no place to hide but none was needed as all powered through the reps

A cardboard was run over by an incoming Y member – no damage to either

We surmised where a few of Village regulars were(Seaman – recovering, Mash and Harden middle school dads) but where was rest of WeFoCo today? – looking at you Schneider, Adobe, Draftee, Madoff, 60 Minutes, Singing Cowboy.  Seems we have a few that are allergic to Mondays.
