WHERE: The Playground

THE PAX: Hasbro, Misty, Wingman, Lilo, Hotlips, Swisher, Dandy, Pulte, Ol’ Blue

Total # of PAX: 10

QIC: Woody

INTRO:

Chitwood asked me to Q the Playground while he was on vacay this week, and who could turn the man down after you’ve done a 2 man beatdown where you have no choice but to stare longingly into his eyes? To avoid a repeat of that situation I did a little recruiting on Facebook and Twitter the night before and was blown away to see 10 guys make it out this morning in the gloom!

Everyone rolled up to the playground, but today was no child’s play.

WARM-O-RAMA:

With Dandy present it didn’t seem right to do a true 0.0, so we opted for a 0.1 with a slow Mosey around the parking lot to warm us up.

15 SSH
10 Weed Pickers (PC)
10 Imperial Walkers
Michael Phelps – OYO

THE THANG:

It isn’t too often we do a beatdown focused on the core, so I felt like it was high time to correct that situation. My personal favorite, the American Hammer, made multiple appearances in the line up.

Bruce Lee (20 reps in cadence (4-ct) of 1. American Hammer, 2. Leg raises, 3. LBC’s, 4. Heel Touches, 5. Crunchy Frog, 6. Freddy Mercury)

11s (Squats and Pull-ups)

Captain Therkin (Big boy sit ups and American Hammers in 1:4 ratio, with 5 merkins in between, increasing until you get to 10 big boy sit ups and 40 American hammers)

Partner Plank Curls (10 reps, 3 sets each)

J Los (20 reps. Alternate version where you are on your hands and knees moving your leg back, to the side, then back to your chest. Really works the glutes!)

10 Burp Ups

Mosey’ed back to the flag for a little Mary to finish it out. Shout to to Hotlips for leading us in some flutter kicks.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Name-o-rama, 6th Man (Swisher), prayers, and announcements. Prayers for Hasbro as he makes a decision about his knee and possible surgery.

I shared this morning about how God has been challenging me to put in the work to read my Bible and to pray each day. Just like we won’t get stronger physically if we don’t work out, we won’t grow in our walk with God if don’t spend time hearing from Him. He saves us with no work from us, but he invites us to pursue him and the only way to tune our ear to his voice is to spend time listening.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

I’m really grateful for all the guys who showed up this morning. It was great to see some new faces and guys who have been there since I started posting last August.
