A group of more-than-I-expected\u00a0 assembled on the grounds of Speas Global for a beatdown on 4\/20. <\/span>My playlist<\/span><\/a> consisted of an eclectic mix ranging from Phish to Bob Dylan to Cypress Hill (which, sadly, we did not get to).<\/span><\/p>\n

I started the workout with the mission statement and (maybe for the first time at TRQ?) the 5 Core Principles. I had flashbacks all week of studying for tests in high school using note cards and, like high school, was able to squeak by with all 5 principles more or less in order.<\/span><\/p>\n

Warm o rama: SSH x20, Abe Vigoda x4, Imperial Walkers x20, Michael Phelps x4 (see what I did there?)<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe Thang:<\/span><\/p>\n

Mosey to the pool deck and partner up. Partner #1 starts the 100 irkins\/durkins, 200 LBCs, 300 1-leg steps ups while Partner #2 does a bear crawl down the stairs, turns around, and bear crawls back up. I suggested a modified version of Huckleberry\u2019s \u201ccrawl bears\u201d (going up the stairs in reverse with your head low and feet high), but didn\u2019t see many takers on that one. There\u2019s a reason why that was the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done at a beatdown before. After ~200 step ups, I realized I should\u2019ve switched it with LBCs, so we modified and did dips for the remainder of the reps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mosey to the rock pile where everyone found a good-sized rock (and GA found his boulder). We did 4 sets of 20 reps (get it?) of curls, squats, overhead press, mtn climbers, Alabama prom dates, and lunges. Cowboy led the way and had just started his 4th round when time was called.<\/span><\/p>\n

We moseyed back to the start and, with our 1 minute remaining, I copied what I saw Greenspan do one time and we did 30 seconds each of superman and banana.<\/span><\/p>\n

End workout while Dave Matthews jammed in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n

Announcements<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c420\u201d was apparently <\/span>started in 1971<\/span><\/a> although some PAX had never heard the term (it goes without saying that those PAX had obviously not gone to school at App State)<\/span><\/p>\n

Petra (D-Day\u2019s daughter and a proud Mt. Tabor Spartan) has a track meet today. Go Spartans!<\/span><\/p>\n

Prayers<\/span><\/p>\n

Greenspan made it through surgery and is resting well. We prayed for him and his family.<\/span><\/p>\n
