With bag o\u2019 music in hand, ready to play the perfect album for the occasion (Springsteen\u2019s The Rising, verified by Spamalot), YHC strolled up to Speas on a beautiful Sept morning. Happy to see Drip and Lambchop, and soon joined by the rest of the pax. Starfish got in an EC 2 miles. Announced that since my hip didn\u2019t want to Climb to Remember, we would commemorate Sept 11 today even though it is the 10th. Started Warmarama and soon joined by Argyle. The usual in sets of 9 or 11: \u00a0SSH, Abe V, Whirlies, arm circles, chinooks, Y-flies, Mike Phelps, CH squats, and one more deep squat and hold for 20-30 seconds.
\nStroll to parking lot in front of Speas. Did 25 merkins for the 25 years at each island (125 total) and lunge walked in between.
\nThen to pull-up bars. \u00a0(Cobains to all Pax that attend my Q\u2019s. You are correct that I have no imagination and only change the numbers for the occasion but repeat the same exercises. \u00a0Please excuse. I\u2019m no Starfish). We did 5 rounds of 9 pull-ups, 11 merkins, and 25 squats. YHC did the counting to encourage MC. \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n
Then to the rock pile. We took turns counting so MC could flourish. 25 reps each of curls, OH press, bent rows, SC, lo-flutter, chest presses, and Cardigans. Repeated the first four, then rocks back to pile. To the wall for 2 minute wall sit and 1 minute BTTW.<\/p>\n
Back to flagpole for Mary (Bruce launched into Mary\u2019s Place with perfect timing!): \u00a0Mutton crunch, gas pumps, LBC, and of course, 3 Huck merkins \ud83d\ude04. Done<\/p>\n
Spam approved of The Rising by Bruce Springsteen as the music choice today. We agreed that it is a great album, maybe the best of this century.
\nSuperfly had requested no Huck merkins in reply to the preblast but,\u2026couldn\u2019t help it. Needed something to fill the last 45 seconds. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n
Great to see Hokey Pokey getting after it. He really seems to enjoy our cult activities! \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n
Mutton and Lambchop put in some hard work (good looking pull-ups LC!) but had to leave a little early.
\nArgyle thought we started with an excessive amount of merkins but I don\u2019t know why. He did them with no problem.
\nStarfish is a fasthole now! \u00a0Who could have imagined that 2 years ago?! \u00a0He crushed the beatdown as usual.<\/p>\n
Drip just smiled and chatted his way through what YHC thought was a tough workout, again.
\nJust a great bunch of HIM. Was a pleasure to lead. Clear skies with lots of stars to start, and perfect temp. Really enjoyed starting the day like this.<\/p>\n
Announcements:<\/p>\n
Starfish has the TRQ Q next week.
\nYHC has Purgatory Q this week.
\nNeed volunteers for GreeNest help on the 19th and also Samaritan dinner service on the 21st.
\nClimb to Remember tomorrow morning. See VG preblast and register. Arrive at 6a, wear F3 gear.
\nHope to see lots of you Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
