YHC has been in a rather melancholic mood recently and asking the deeper , heavy hitting questions about this life ?
Am I original? Yeahhhh
Am I the only one? Yeahhh
Am I sexual ? Yeahhh
Am I everything thing you need? You better rock your body now…
*record scratch***
***looks in the mirror and slaps face ***
(No no no !
That’s not it !
That’s YJs Monday beatdown playlist with the Backstreet Boys still plaguing your mind
Let it go Dox , keep your composure
Focus , you’re better than this
Do it for Tana, he’s alone out there in the rep wilderness and needs this blast )
Ok ok I’m back but seriously the question here is what can I do for the years I’m allowed on this planet to be the most functional
Can health span truly = lifespan?
Well, 8 High impact men beat the darkness at the stage Tuesday morning to answer the above.
This framework YHC picked up from a longevity expert Dr Peter Attia (see links below for more elegant explanations)
But it boils down to imagining your most important tasks at 100 years old and reverse engineering the training for our own personal decathlon. So YHC polled the pax audience via text the day before and built a list of everyone’s “must be able to do at 100” list.
But here’s the catch .. sure you can do those things now but we need to be able to compensate for age related decline.
So for example you can all pick up a 20 lb toddler now and raise them over your head like Simba. But for the next 4 decades you could lose 7-8 percent of your muscle strength/decade (perhaps more if you have a roaring water problem) : so today you need to be able to lift ….let’s say a 40 lb coupon overhead roughly 50 times. Makes sense? You see where this is heading
Duke get the footage and Medicare part D we got new indications baby !
Warmup
Standard issue warmups welcoming back Goose and Pope fresh from NC adventures and extra time to nurse a few tight arms from YJs zombie crawls and Lil cuzs pull-up palooza.
Bumper mosey
Da List
#1 get up from lying down un aided
#2 climb stairs
Song : I Don’t Need Your Rocking Chair – George Jones
Wake up , Climb Stairs
BBSU into box jump
Back into bed with 1 Merkin increase each rep
That bird poop on the stage never smelled better.
#3 Coordination to play with great grandkids and #4 Driving )
Indian Run with frisbee
Last man does 5 gas pumps
If Frisbee miss , all pax 7 jump squats
YHC will confess here that I’m very bad at frisbee and expected atleast 5-6 drops. Little did I know smooth and Goldilocks are semi pro frisbee weekend warriors. YHC had so little faith in an overthrown pass that I had halted the run to smugly handout squats. Goldilocks turned on the #jets and the seminarian house will be getting PED testing very soon.
#5 Pick up great grandchildren and #6 Swim
WIPE OUT
Flora
P1 10 Thrusters to complete 100
P2 Flutter kicks
The chatter subsided significantly after opening the thrusters …
LIVE ON A PRAYER
Travel – 20 coupon curl each to complete 80 as a partner pair
P2 – Genuflections
ITS THE CLIMB #8
#9 GOLF with my FRIENDS
100 Apolo Onos (to get the ball out of the hole ) – sets of 10
Coupon Dance Steps fast as you can go (simulate climbing )
Fantastic group effort to finish these out and I don’t know if I was motivated more by Goose or Miley Cyrus but we finished real strong.
…Grand Finale
GIVE ME SOME LOVING #10
It was here YHC revealed that Smooth had answered the penultimate question with his usual stunning word efficiency
What is the single most important activity to still be doing at 100 ??
Pickle Pounders!
Song : Give me Some loving
Plank reaches on Song
2 Merkins on Glad
Pickle Pounders on Give and loving
All I can say here is that somewhere in North Carolina ole Kilmer is smiling and that there could be some HR classes Goose has to attend for being an upstanding HOA member present at this musical debauchery.
COT and Lox prayed us out
Animal given to the Pope for carrying YHC through the thrusters and still counting them all.
The Tanaversary is Thursday
The hype is building…
Great morning striving alongside you men keeping our physical and spiritual health sharp.
Keep it 100
