THE PAX: Westside, Cuban, Harding, Anderson Cooper, Thrasher, Glow Plug, Papa John, Kiffin

Total # of PAX: 8

QIC: Kiffin

INTRO:

The whole group showed up early and ready to go.  We have not been to the far side of the school in a few weeks, so it was time to introduce the newer Cheetah Pax to the whole campus.  Finally time so we moseyed to the front of the school.

WARM-O-RAMA:

10 – SSH

10 – Weed Pickers

10 – Windmills

Sun Gods – OYO

Michael Phelps – OYO

THE THANG:

Makings sure we had my hamstrings stretched and the whole Pax with shoulders ready for what was to come,  we moseyed to the far side of the school for some good ole fashioned Bus Lanes.  The Bus Lanes consisted of:

1 – 4×4 (Burpee with 4 Merkins and 4 Stair Climbers) in Lane 1 and on every return to Lane 1

16 American Hammers in Lane 16 and back to Lane 1

15 V Up’s in Lane 15 and back to Lane 1

14 Merkins in Lane 14 and back to Lane 1

Continued in that fashion with American Hammers, V Up’s, and Merkins all the way down to 1 rep in Lane 1 along with the final 4×4.  Went and picked up the 6 while the rest of the Pax did Mary’s.

Quick 10 count and ready for a Bataan Death March  back to the Flag.

Bataan Death March is an Indian run where back person drops and does 5 Burpees and then runs to the front of the line.  We modified to 3 Burpees after YHC went 1st and the Pax got very far away during the full 5 Burpees.

We completed 1 complete round as we got back to the flag

Next we lined up with our backs to the island for some special Merry Go Round Derkins (completely made up by YHC).  We each lined up side by side in plank position with our feet on the curb.  The idea is do one Derkin and shift sideways to the right once and done another Derkin.  The goal is to complete the circle around the island.  Sounded easier than it was and after half a lap we took a quick break.  By break I mean Bat Wings in cadence (4 count) to 10 for each of the 4 exercises (Sun Gods forward, Sun Gods reverse, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps) without stopping or lowering our arms.  Now that our arms and shoulders were nice and “rested” back down and finish the Merry Go Round Derkins.  I can’t get over how well the Pax responded to those Derkins.  Shocked they loved them so much.  (Maybe 2 rounds next time).

Now that the shoulders were warm we did not want to let that go to waste.  Now it is time for Ascending Cheetah Curb Crawls (Cheetah Crawl from island to nearest edge or Parking lot curb.  Turn and place feet on curb and complete 1 Derkin.  Cheetah Crawl back to island and do 2 Derkins.  The goal is to continue back and forth, without getting up, all the way to 10 reps of Derkins.  This is called Jack Webb’s promiscuous cousin (Maybe I wanted to honor Ricky Bobby since he could not be with us).  Considering that the entire PAX had to modify before we go to 5 Derkins, YHC called and audible and halted the exercise.  I guess the shoudlers were not warm they were burnt. that I thought through the multiple other exercises I had planned if time would allow, but all of them where heavy on the shoulders and chest.  YHC started to fear for my well being a bit with the Pax already looking spent and miserable.  I will save the Alligator Merkins for another time (those looked like fun).  We still had time for a quick run to the light post and do 10 Burpees and then back just in time for Mary’s.

YHC had multiple people call Mary’s that included, LBC’s, Freddie Mercury’s, Box Cutters, Leg raises,(sure I am forgetting one) and then Flutter Kick LBC’s (another great call from Thrasher).  After that we closed out with the Manning special a.k.a. Bobby Hurley’s.

 

 

 

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Name-O-Rama

Papa John was our 6.  Spoke of his 3 girls and wife.  Born and raised in TN.  How he was named because he works for Dominoes.  Most importantly, when asked who the greatest college football team in history is, he answered correctly that it was the University of TENNESSEE.

YHC shared how an example I saw of letting conflict with loved ones carry on too long.  God tells us to forgive.  We do not have to subject ourselves to abuse over and over but we do have to forgive.  Don’t let conflict rob you of years with a loved one.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Ricky Bobby was missed.

Chitwood was missed.

Hooch was missed.

Love the groups of 4 to 14.  I am getting to know everyone better with the smaller groups.

AC and Westside killed it today.  I felt them pushing me… Good work to everyone there today… some tough ones today.
