10…9…8…you get it.

10…9…8…you get it.

QIC: Wobegon

Date: 10-9-2025

PAX: Argyle, Superfly (WD), Tarzan, Greenspan (EC), D-Day, Palin (WB), Roundup, wobegon (QIC)

The date was 10-9. Sure, YHC could have gone the easy route, celebrating opening night for his beloved Carolina Hurricanes and the inevitable casting out of the hated Devils from New Jersey tonight (Club level seats with Bloodsport and my brother-in-law thanks to his UNC Health connections, bbq tailgating before…but enough about my evening plans!), but 10-9 held thematic promise. 

But first…

A good standard Warm-O-Rama.

The Thang

Leg Work!

Lt. Dans (that’s a lunge on each leg followed by a squat) down the front parking lot to the end of the school. 

We then walk back around, and the pax find a rock they have an emotional connection to. Or just one that looks good, whatever. High reps were warned. 

R.O.C.K.S. and The 10-9….8,7, 6….Routine

The exercises:

1. Rows
2. Overhead press
3. Curls
4. Kettlebell swings
5. Skull Crushers

• Do 10 ROCKS. Shake it out.
• 9 ROCKS. Shake it out.
• 8 ROCKS. Shake it out….
• If you don’t see the pattern, I can’t help you. 

Cardio Work

Rocks up, back to the front lot.  Let’s get the heart going a little bit.

• Apollo Creed down and back.
• Skip, jump  down and back
• Walk to each light post, Fast Feet IC (30 then 20 then 10 at the three stops)

Extended Mary 

By committee, good choices!

And done, right on time.

COT:

• Lambchop and his M welcoming a new son, name unknown by one pax said we should just go with Jaccob and let them know.
• Fall break for students, enjoy time with your kids while the teachers do their thing.
• WSNC Work Day Saturday, see Superfly
• Argyle’s daughter-in-law’s grandmother passed away—prayers for the family.

NMM:

• Playlist here. The theme was rocks. Palin liked it all, and had heard at least one of the songs before in a commercial.
• Everything started quietly but picked up as we went.
• Lt. Dan’s down the front was met with skepticism but quiet resolve once it was in place. T-claps to the pax who picked up the 6.
• The pax almost preternaturally detected the routine of descending numbers of reps. The offer to shake it out between sets was only taken by a few (*Q raises hand*)

It was a pleasure to be with you all on this cool morning.  Green Acres, the keys are located by the third light post.
