“Ask my wife about that word, ‘whimsical.’ She’ll tell you it’s my favorite word….it’s not.”
-Russo
Arriving to see Russo was a given. His pretty mug can be found in the dictionary right next to the word “reliable.” But with two minutes to spare, a scintillatingly sweet, yet brutishly masculine laundry scent wafted past the ol’ schnoz, signalling the arrival of the Fighting Irishman himself, Shooter. Assembled was the perfect group to test out a few new ideas!
WARMORAMA
21’s – SSH IC, 1-5 out loud, 6-21 silent. If anyone stopped too soon or a little late, 10 burpees and start again. Excelsior! the PAX were perfect on the initial attempt.
Alarm Clock – PAX lay flat on the ground and at the Q’s signal get to their feet and did a hop as fast as possible x6-7
Aussie Snow Angels – IC x 10 In Superman position with feet and hand extended, make the snow angle motion.
Ballerina Toe Squats – On toes, a la Calf Raise, slow squat with good balance.
THANG
Now, from time to time you find the the number of HIM posting can determine whether or not an audible is in order. As it so happens, the gloom at Granny’s was one of those times. But it all worked to the best. With this trio, a little original action was just what the Wacker ordered.
Follow the Leader Mosey – For 5 minutes a piece, separated by 10 counts, each PAX lead the line wherever he damn well pleased! This meant up and down stairs, along garden borders, down the street – wherever. Also thrown in for good measure, were moves such a Carioca, Box Jumps and Back peddling, OH MY! It was very dynamic, blood-pumping…and WHIMSICAL.
Bucket Brigade – Starting at the top of the stairs with each man standing 2 steps apart, a 25 lb plate was passed down the stairs and back up again Indian Run- style x2.
Bruce Lee – 3 sets of IC x10 Hammers, Leg Raises, LBCs, Penguins, Crunchy Frogs, and 100s
MARY
Zombie Crunch – Basically, and LBC with knees to one side. Each side x 25
XYs – IC 1,2 Hello Dolly, 3,4 Flutter Kick x 25
Slow Freddys – a 4 count per leg x25
1 minute Plank
1 minute Superman
COT
Count, name, Shooter prayed us out with special intentions for SOGO and his family.
