“The night was hot, wait no, the night, the night was humid. The night was humid, no wait, hot, hot. The night was hot. The night was hot and wet, wet and hot. The night was wet and hot, hot and wet, wet and hot; that’s humid. The night was humid.”
-Larry Donner (Billy Crystal), Throw Momma from the Train
The gloom of February 6th showed us that, as colossal as the beatdown may have been, Spring ( with an identity crisis of Summer) has reared its humid head a little early for this guy’s taste. And with it came the fluttering of mighty sweat-angel wings! So bring your towels and changes of shirts, grab an extra water or 2, and don’t forget your A-game because it’s time to perspire like a proper PAX preposterously early in the AM!
PRETHANG
10 minutes early, 6 road warriors gathered to run a mighty mile , and wave good morning to Steve’s brother-in-law’s house.
WARMUP
All IC x20:
Alternating Air Presses
Bent Arm Lateral Shoulder Raises
Torso Twists
Imperial Walkers
High Knees
SSHTHANG
PAX mosied to the front of the court house for:
Jump Squat Holds – In a circle, Q counted off as the PAX did 10 jump squats followed by 10 seconds of Al Gores. Each PAX took a turn, lowering the rep/second count by 1
Jonny Drama – Using handrails for stability on the steps, PAX did 25 negative calf raises
Mosied to the parking garage and all the way to the top level and did 20 Jackees – burpees with a SSH at the end
Mosied back to the bottom and did…
San Antonio Shuffle (x10) – left leg lunge, right leg lunge, burpee with a plank jack
Mosied back to the top for 12, 8, and 4…
SSH Jumps – Starting in chair position, SSH with a squat
MARY
Mosied back down and onward to home base where the Wacker of Abs lead this hardcore group of F3 brothers in:
LMCs (Little Manny Crunches) – Like an LBC, but hold the crunch for a three count. 50 reps at varied pace of cadence
James Bonds – On your 6, leaning back slightly, feet off the ground hold your hands together like you’re holding a gun out in front of you. Hold for 10 seconds, turn to the right, middle, left, middle
Reach-Through Mid-sit ups (for lack of a better name) – on your back, knees bent, feet on the ground, hands reach forward between your knees. More than a crunch – less than a sit up
Plank 30 seconds, Chill Cut Plank 30 seconds, Mission Impossible Plank 30 seconds, Plank 30 seconds, 10 IC of a nameless exercise in which from plank position reach right hand to outside of left knee, then left hand to outside of right knee.
COT
Count Off/Name-o-rama
Maverick prayed us out and into a productive and positively influential day.
Thanks for following my lead through the toils of shirt-soaking physical fitness in the gloom! It is my sincere hope that you all found prodigious amounts of value at The Gipper today.
