PAX: Brittani, Transcript, Wobegon, Silver Fox, and YHC

Five weeks ago YHC was a party of one at my Launchpad Q. As an avid recycler, I was looking for an opportunity to try that one again. Today was the day, and we had a nice crowd of 5!  Almost 6!  But Spicoli. 🤷‍♂️😄. Anyhoo, we started up a little John Hiatt on my stereo, and launched into the workout. Warmarama was the usual GA thing:  SSH, Abe V, Whirlies, Y-flies, arm circles, Mike Phelps, CH squats, and a 30 second deep stretchy squat. Finished the warmup with a jog across the parking lot and back. We gathered in the picnic pavilion for:  Dips x 20 IC, 20 LL step ups, Derkins x 20 IC, 20 RL step ups, and Merkins x 20 IC.  Then I tried something new, and we managed to wear me out. 🥵😂. The idea was for all Pax to do a called exercise while we passed 2 10lb dumbbells around to do a 25 count (or AMRAP) of a second exercise. First pair was squatty potties and shoulder flies. YHC didn’t quite make it to 25, and that was a LOT of squatty potties while all of us did our set of flies. Next pair was holding plank while we passed around the dumbbells for 25 hammer curls each. The pax had no trouble with the curls, but was a long time to plank. Third was holding Al Gore while we took turns doing 25 front raises. Fourth was all doing LBC’s and took turns at 25 skullcrushers. Last was all doing Imp Walkers and took turns doing 25 squatty potties holding the 20 lb of weight. Whew! 😥. Needed a 10 count after that. Then Ring of Fire merkins counting down from 8. And then to Mary:  lo flutter, Mutton crunch, lo Dolly, AL prom dates, and 3 Huck merkins. (Crowd pleaser as usual!) And done!  Q plumb wore hisself out, as we say in our sunny South. The crew of HIM that YHC had the pleasure of leading smiled throughout and just crushed the workout. Silver Fox took us out with a lovely prayer with thanks for Baby Schlitz born yesterday, peace in our world, aging family members, and more.
Announcements:  free art classes Monday and Thursday this week by Brittani. See his post in General.
No GreeNest this weekend. Happy Easter to all.
NMM:  The format allowed for a little extra MC which made YHC happy. 😊 Silver Fox met his wife when he was a chef at DisneyWorld. Gave us the inside info about medical treatment in the park which was interesting to Wobegon. Transcript enjoyed the John Hiatt tunes. Brittani cruised through the beatdown with a smile. Wobegon won Best Form for every exercise. It was just a delightful morning, perfect weather, and a great bunch of guys. This F3 thing is just the BEST.
