YHC got the call for TRQ today and had some fun with the GenAI preblasting. I figured to come up with a good image I have to come up with a theme first, and since my kids are currently obsessed with “struction” I thought that would be a good route to go. The construction theme and image creation was pretty easy…I just didn’t have a workout to match it yet. I think what I came up with worked alright. Construction!

RUN CLUB: Doublewide & Wob were taking off from the parking lot as I rolled in. I decided to be good to myself and get some stretching in instead of trying to catch up. They came back after their 2 miles with Green Acres in tow.

WOR: SSH x12ic, Hillbillies x12ic, Mountain Climbers x12ic, Merkins x12oyo, Copperhead Squats x12ic, Jack Reachers x12ic, Michael Phelps x12ic.

THE THANG (pt1): Shuffle down to the pool deck. No construction site is complete without a couple of ladders.

• Ladder 1: 6 dips, 12 step ups, 8 dips, 10 step ups, 10 dips, 8 step ups, 12 dips, 6 step ups
• Ladder 2: 6 derkins, 12 squatty pottys, 8 derkins, 10 SPs, 10 derkins, 8 SPs, 12 derkins, 6 SPs

THE THANG (pt2): Shuffle up to the rocks and find a “high rep rock.” To adequately build a complex structure, you first have to examine each part to make sure it is measured correctly and will fit with the other parts.

• Construction 1: Halfway curls [lower] x10ic, Halfway curls [upper] x10ic, OH press x10ic, Skull crushers x10ic. Put all the parts together…20 Curl Press Crushers OYO
• Construction 2: [all goblet] Pulse lunge left x10ic, Pulse lunge right x10ic, Squat x10ic, OH press x10ic. Put all the parts together…20 Lt Dan Presses OYO

Return rocks gently and head back to launch

MARY: By committee. Inchworms (YHC), H2H (Doublewide), 3 Huck merkins (Green Acres, to nobody’s surprise), American Hammers (Wobegon), Mutton crunches (D-Day)

Time.

Let me just say, the Lt Dan Presses were a huge hit. I’m talking huge. Expect them at every workout ever from now on. Everyone loved them, especially the site Q. Speaking of the site Q, he was spotted knocking out some pullups post-beatdown on his way home. Beast or cyborg? Wobey is still nursing his foot/ankle back to full health but got after it with a pre-run and some strong work during the beatdown! Superfly was leading the way on the ladders, the dude has perfect derkin form too. Argyle was unflappable this morning – any displeasure with the Q was kept under wraps. Lots of teacher talk/Mt. Tabor talk with Doublewide and D-Day present…D-Day is doing his licensure program this summer & Doublewide is happy to share the fond memories and withhold the not-so-fond ones. Altogether a great squad this morning putting in some solid work, indulging the Qs bad ideas, and getting stronger together.

Superfly has 4 guys going up for WNC Workday on 6/21, always room for more hands if you’re free! Still spots available for Monday’s Samaritan Ministries night of service, too. Reach out to Greenspan or Drip. Q School at Alcatraz Saturday – proud to say that no one suggested I attend. Maybe they were thinking it. BOLO for July 4 details. Drink water. Love your neighbor.

Prayers for the world, for aging parents, for injured pax & sick family members. YHC took us out – even when it feels like it’s all bad, the SkyQ promises that it’s all working together for good.

Thanks for the keys, Green Acres. I left them with my hard hat on the construction site.
