Conditions: Perfect summer morning – warm, dry, and full of dad jokes.


Warm-Up:

  • Stretch on your own while the Q hyped up the crowd and explained what the summer tour was all about and how to win the champtionship belt.
  • SSH x 25 IC

The Thang:
Four stations – each with a Father’s Day twist – rotate to one of the four corners of the AO for each station.

💪 Station 1: Lawnmower Lunges (Legs) 45 seconds on, 15-second rest – 4 sets

Location: Front Parking Lot

  • Lunges
  • Squats
  • Jump squats
  • Dad Joke: “What do you call a bluebird who got run over by a lawn mover?  Shredded tweet.”

 

💥 Station 2: Dad Bod Push-Ups (Upper Body) 45 seconds on, 15-second rest – 4 sets

Location: Playground

  • Merkins
  • Tricep dips on benches
  • Plank shoulder taps
  • Dad Joke: “What does garlic do when it gets hot?  It takes its cloves off!”

 

🪨 Station 3: Hero Lifts (Full Body with Rocks) 45 seconds on, 15-second rest – 4 sets

Location: Rock pile

  • Rock squats or deadlifts
  • Rock overhead presses
  • Rock bent-over rows
  • Dad Joke: “Did you hear about the weightlifting cow?   It was pretty beefed up!”

 

🔥 Station 4: Plank Like a Rock (Core) 45 seconds on, 15-second rest – 3 sets

Location: Side Driveway

  • Plank holds (high or low, PAX choice)
  • Bicycle crunches
  • Leg lifts
  • Dad Joke: “Why did the plank go to school?  To become board-certified”

Mumblechatter:

  • There were several discussions around attire today.  Pony Express was complimented on his halter-top & in seeing Greenacre’s onesie, Palin expresses his frustrations with getting a onesie on a teenager.
  • Drafter called Greenacres “Greenspan” by accident.  A high honor indeed.
  • Splash was questioning the order of exercises by the second rep of the third exercise.
  • At the third station, BAM was the only one doing the correct exercise.  Even the Q decided to do his own thing.
  • Rollback was considering his life decision to do burpees before the beatdown that started with legs.  He powered through and left us all wondering how he does it.

Moleskin:

  • Special thanks to those who brought the dad jokes.
  • “Plank Like a Rock” may become a weekly tradition…
  • Boomerang went out of his way to make sure YHC felt included to join the boys for coffeeteria.  You are the real deal, a true HIM.  We are all grateful for your leadership.
  • While a long setup of a Dad joke, Wobegon nailed it and it was worth the listen.
  • Mutton had to leave early, but not before getting YHC to commit to an IS Q in July.  I would be honored.

Announcements:

  • Tour de Draftee continues — 9 stops left!
  • Sign up for Q spots this summer – share the leadership!

    Tough and fun beatdown! 👏. And yes, it was an honor to be confused with Greenspan the beast. 😄
