5 strong today with the Wacker of all Bushes and Steve in the mix. Noticing that everyone brought gloves without a reminder, YHC felt like laying off the blocks today for a traditional mosey to the lakefront and back. Listening to the Beastie Boys song Hold it Now, Hit It! last week, a thought emerged and became a beatdown.

Warm Up: IW, Cherry Pickers, Self-Love, Grass Grabbers, Arm Circles (f/b), SSH, Torso Twist x 10 to 20

The Mumblechatter started early, slightly delaying the start of the beatdown, and kept up all the way past COT. Pixie Stix’s lacrosse, Grover’s graduation dinner and work, weekend plans, trips, Bush’s tower of doom, are firemen are stronger than policemen? Billy’s departure from Reigers (will he actually post one day?); Sandbar’s trek across the lake from Nola to the Marsh last week (should we go knock on the FNG’s door? Its’ only 3 houses down) Baby Yoda making Bush chase balls, and then him. Pickleball is getting serious – how about taking all the courts one Friday night? YHC’s anniversary spend the night party with mama, most of us need more time weekly with our beloved wives. On and on, one of many things to look forward to every Monday at the Marsh.

Time to get to work:

The Thang

Mosey down to the lakefront wall stopping along the way. Start with a 10 count hold mid exercise, then return to the top for ICx10 each. Example: Hold Al Gore for 10 count, then return to the top of the exercise for Squats x10IC. Exercises are below.

Mosey to the playground

1. Chin up, Supine Pull up

Mosey to the swings for plank tucks on the swing x10 IC no hold

Mosey to the lakefront, stopping along the way for:

2. Stone Mountain, Shoulder Taps
3. Squats, Monkey Humpers
4. Dirkin, Freak Nasty
5. Irkin, Freak Nasty
6. Stone Mountain, Shoulder Taps
7. Squats, Monkey Humpers

There’s inherent danger when passing counts off because you know some jackwater will mess it up. In this case, you guessed it, Bushwacker brought out his painfully slow count in an Irish/Scottish voice during Monkey Humpers. More pain, more gain though.

Mary: Merkins with 10s hold, Hello Dolly x10 IC low, mid, high, LMC x20, finish with 100’s (Hello Hummingbird)

Count, Name, and YHC prayed us out.

Announcements: WW2 trek sign up by July 4th; Gnarly Nutria July 21st

Thanks for letting me lead, always enjoy a Monday morning at the Marsh.
