YHC has offered up some version of this workout in Februarys past.\u00a0 It is quite fascinating to me (of course I’m biased since I also have one) of all the famous people – some of whom are GOATS in their field of endeavor- who have birthdays in the shortest month of the year. A theme was teased at a couple of previous workouts, there were marketing photos on Slack, it was possibly the last morning this week for decent weather for a workout – whatever the reason 15 other pax rolled into Jamison Park eager to find out what awaited.<\/p>\n
The tension could be cut with a dull knife.\u00a0 As Harden joined us but before 60 Minutes arrived, we began with a somewhat botched mission statement.\u00a0 I promise I was not looking at Zima when I said “small men.”<\/p>\n
With the hint of the theme we began with 30 SSHs – after finishing YHC promised 30 more at the end because this was YHC’s last Mayhem as a single Respect.\u00a0 Other Warmorama standards were performed – finishing up with a further revelation of the theme of February birthdays.\u00a0 To honor Abraham Lincoln (2\/12)- the only president in the Wrestling Hall of Fame and Ric Flair (2\/25) we did the old sit out drill – AKA Dry Dock Crabs\u00a0 – there was noticeable improvement by many but also many groans and we ended rather abruptly.<\/p>\n
We then moseyed over to the wall area of the Elementary School.\u00a0 We found some cones there and honored our 1st President – whose birthday we officially celebrated earlier this week not the generic Presidents Day – George Washington (2\/22).\u00a0 Exercise chosen was a throw back to his General Washington days and we “crossed the Delaware” with 10 Toy soldier steps alternating with 10 count Boat until we reached the far pylon.<\/p>\n
Next came 2 GOATs who share today as their birthday – Michael Jordan and Jim Brown.\u00a0 For MJ, we took 23 jump shots each side and 23 dunking jump squats.\u00a0 Although no pax actually dunked. JB was honored with a run through the pylon course (much like he did in The Dirty Dozen) but since Jim didn’t make it out of that standing up we finished each turn with 8 HR Merkins.\u00a0 8 x 4 = 32\u00a0 –\u00a0 Jim’s FB #.<\/p>\n
After a quick and not very accurate rearranging of the pylons, we honored Babe Ruth (2\/6) and Hank Aaron (2\/5).\u00a0 With 1469 HRs between them the pax was fearful of the reps but we again got to their jersey #s.\u00a0 44 total American Hammers and 3 laps around the bases. Some got in an extra 11 AHs.<\/p>\n
We still had a couple of presidents to cover.\u00a0 One fairly famous, one not so much.\u00a0 For Ronald Reagan (2\/6) we did 40 elephant kicks while we requested\u00a0 “Mr. Gorbachev, knock down this wall”.\u00a0 Little known except for his death after 30 days in office, we honored William Henry Harrison (2\/9) with 30 dead lifts.<\/p>\n
With a little time left, we moseyed back to launch and the pax had a choice of either another person\u00a0 with a Feb bd or a famous February event (they were warned they wouldn’t be fond of either choice)\u00a0 The pax voted for a person and it was Clark Gable (2\/1) whose most famous movie was Gone With The Wind …Sprint.\u00a0 GWTW won 8 Oscars (also usually awarded in Feb) So it was 4 times down and back.\u00a0 Nothing like sprints to get the heart rate up.<\/p>\n
We still had time to get in the additional 30 SSHs and a few various Mary exercises.<\/p>\n
Done<\/p>\n
NMM<\/p>\n
Lots of MC regarding my logic of reps, is this really the distance across the Delaware, have you ever played baseball, who is WH Harrison, etc.\u00a0 Most was ignored.\u00a0 YHC is old and can’t hear and\/or is set in his ways.<\/p>\n
The town council of WeFoCo was in the house.\u00a0 Don’t know if they coordinated for my Q but it was noticed and appreciated.<\/p>\n
Good to see some of the newer pax out – strong work<\/p>\n
Mongoose voted for event instead of person because he doesn’t like people<\/p>\n
The event choice was Battle of Iwo Jima (2\/23) which would have required climbing the road to nowhere with WWII sit ups at the top – we got the WWIIs in during Mary<\/p>\n
Zima was still nursing knee but toughed out 8 sprints<\/p>\n
Good mix of young\/old and fast\/slow pax today – no one was left behind and all got better<\/p>\n
ANNOUNCEMENTS<\/p>\n
