‘‘Twas the day after Thanksgiving and all through the house, not a creature was ….not entirely true, I was up, moving slow because I consumed way to much thanksgiving day food. But it was Black Friday, and the beat down needed a theme for such an occasion. I couldn’t disappoint the whacker of bushes, so I created a workout that mirrored the Black Friday,
Warmups: ssh, windmills, grassgrabbers , self love , torso twists
The thang: you can’t go shopping without coupons, so yhc brought some. He set the up in a line so as my customers were waiting to check out, they each had to perform an exercise . 1. Man makers 2. Altos. 3. Curls. 4. Windshield wipers. 5. Overhead presses. 6. Squat Thrusts. 7. Rows with two 30 pound dumbbells. Each customer exercises while one shopper bear crawls the width of the parking lot, back pedals halfway up the length of the garage, sprints the rest, bear crawls again, back pedals, and sprints. Upon returning to the line, everyone moves up a spot in line. Kept going until everyone went through once, completed 3 extra shoppers. The group helped turn in their coupons, finished off with leg raises until my nephew had to stop twice. He smoked me at the turkey trot, I had to beat him in something. Cot, hammer prayed us out with great words of thanks and appreciation. And we had an FNG… welcome Chaps.
Thanks for allowing me to lead my brothers. SYITG

Cards again! – from BBQ
It was a beautiful and crisp morning on the top deck. Warm ups were self love, arm circles, cherry pickers , grass grabbers, imperial walkers, hill Billy’s, mountain climbers, inverted mountain climbers, and side straddle hops. We ran a light lap around the deck. A deck of cards came out. 4 exercises for each suit. They were jump squats, hand release Merkins, leg lifts and LBC’s. 2’s were 2 reps on low side and aces were 14 reps on the high side. LBC’s reps were doubled. The 2 jokers brought in a Einstein favorite, Starjacks. One Starjack every other line across the parking lot one way. We got thru the deck, 2 jokers and 4 additional cards. Nameorama and prayer to finish.

Last Minute with the Usual Quartet – from Jose10k
Being at the ballpark till late at night, YHC forgot he had the Q this morning.
What do you do in a pinch, you throw together a workout from the IRON PAX challenge.Warm-up: SSH, self love, then BBQ finally shows up. Torso twists, cherry pickers, then Moby finally shows up, good mornings, grass grabbers, and arm circles.
The thang: Grab a coupon and mosey to the courthouse. 25 reps per exercise, run 30 yards to the steps, up the steps, then back down and 30 yards back. 8 sets of curls for the girls, 7 sets of squats, 7 sets of shoulder presses. There was more planned but we ran out of time. COT and Moby prayed us out. Thanks for letting me lead gentlemen.

O say it ain’t so coach “0”!! – from Shooter
With chatter of the recent resignation of Coach “0” Jose 10k entertained the PAX with the grumble mumble impersonation on this brisk Gloom.. If teaching doesn’t work out Jose 10k you have a straight path to stand up with the skills demonstrated at Granny’s.. You play the role with such accurate mumbles and grumbles… It appears the PAX has another committed brethren in JV and we look forward to the next step of getting you that VQ in the near future.. 6 PAX in all committed to the red pill 💊 and I hope the YHC didn’t disappoint..

Streaking – from Russo
YHC believes streaks were meant to be broken, and then celebrated. Cal Ripken wasn’t penciled in for game number 2,633. DiMaggio went 0-fer in game 57. The Patriots couldn’t overcome a miracle play from David Tyree and Ei Manning and finished the season 18-1. YHC can only eat the same lunch for 5 or 6 days in a row.
So hearing that Steve had Q’ed Granny’s for 4 or so straight weeks, I thought he might need a break and let someone else count cadence for once.
Pretty decent weather on Tuesday morning for a Pax of 7, including a returning Bushwhacker, with temps topping out at 77 degrees, plenty warm enough to sweat profusely.
Working in a profession that requires balance, order, and consistency, YHC carried that over to rep count.
Warmup (all IC 15x)
Seal jacks
Imperial walkers
Toe touches
Cherry pickers
Mummy kicksThang
With Granny’s still feeling the effects of a spruce up, remodel, and/or renovation, her benches were not available behind fence, so Pax moseyed over to the Rusty P for some work:At benches:
15 freak nastys
15 step ups
15 derkins
15 more freak nastysSome more moseying took us to the bus stop, where 15 box jumps were in order, and then more mosey to the tunnel, where we knocked out the main portion of the beat down:
5 merkins, a mosey through the tunnel, where it was 5 more merkins in the center, and then a reverse mosey and 5 more merkins at the top, repeated 5 times.
Heading back home, we knocked out 15 squats IC around coffee st., and then wrapped it up with some Mary:
15 plank jacks IC
15 LMCs IC
15 six inch drill ICCOT, name-o-Rama, announcements (F3 and FIA game night 10/21 at what’s left of the Mandeville Gazebo at 6:15, NOLA convergence on Saturday), and prayer closed us out.
Thank you gents for joining and making it another good one.
And If you’ve read this far because of the title and hoping to hear about us going streaking through the quad Old School Will Farrell style, I hate to disappoint you. But there’s always next week!
