What a relief after so many hot humid mornings! Beautiful Saturday at Speas. The regular crowd rushes in, then a few more, and later more (IS refugees) to make 19 of us! Turned on my bag of tunes (some Steve Winwood, Eagles, Bonnie Raitt…Alexa came up with a great playlist 😄.) We did Warmarama: SSH, Imp Walkers, AV, Whirlies, arm circles/Cherry Pies, Mike Phelps, CH squats and one long stretchy squat.
Then to the Lido Deck: 20 LL step ups, derkins, 20 RL step ups, dips, CH squats, Irkins, lo-flutter, LBC, merkins, howling monkeys. All x 20 IC except step ups and monkeys. Then repeated same list but only 12 of each this round.
Then to parking lot next to Rec Center. We crab walked across the lot, lunge walked it twice, and finally bear crawled across. Palin was the six on lunge walking due to immaculate form! 🙂
Then to play space beside school for pull-up and squats ladder: started with 10 and 20, went down by 1 and 2 each round to 1 and 2, respectively. 🥵
Back to start for Mary: But first, a special Edition of SS Hops, led by Yukon Cornelius! A full body workout of the funnest kind! 😄. Then a bunch of box cutters, Mutton crunches, lo Dollies, LBC, lo flutter, WWII’s, and 3 Huck merkins (for most of the pax 🙄), crowd pleaser as usual. Done with 2 minutes left but done nonetheless. Q was worn out.
Announcements: Time to step up and sign up for Aug 16 WNC workday. Let Superfly know.
Help at Samaritan Ministries Aug 18. See Greenspan.
Prayers for Trenton, mentioned by Undertow, aging parents and family members, peace for Gaza and Ukraine, and flood victims across the country.
Pax breezed through the beatdown with only a little complaining about the 20 IC derkins, irkins, merkins. That did call for a 10 count. 😮💨 Was great to see new guys Comrade and Narcan out here killing it. Linus, Palin, Bootsie and Splash crushed the pull-ups. Bluto, Superfly, Burlap, Boomerang were nearby on the Deck and cruised through a workout that was maxing out the Q’s capability. The others were out of peripheral vision but also getting the work done.
Was a pleasure to lead this bunch of HIM. Wore myself out and hope it was sufficient. I love this cult of guys and appreciate the support and love I feel when we get together. Until next time! 💙
