Some things old, some people new – from Russo

Date:2021-07-20
QIC:Russo
PAX:Bypass, Chewy, Deep Six, Jose10k, Russo, Zoolander

Based on reading backblasts and personal witness, it’s the opinion of YHC that the MVP of summer beatdowns is Jose 10k. But recently, Bypass is giving Jose a run for his money for July. Joining us just over a week ago, not only has he continued to post, but he already EH’ed Deep Six into joining us, even if it’s only temporary.

The “new” were joined by 4 “old” Pax for one of my favorite standbys. Rainy, humid conditions at Granny’s this morning, where we managed to avoid most of the torrential rain both before and after beatdown. We were able to witness the, ahem, progress, the city is making on the splash pad (hence the need for fence construction). Let’s just say there are a few new holes from broken concrete and some more mud than usual.

Warmup (10-20x, IC)
– SSH
– Arm circles
– Self Love
– Toe touches
– High knees
– Goof balls
– Imperial Walkers

We moseyed all around Granny’s and the warehouse to stretch our legs before….

More math with the return of the Deck of Death/Destruction/Discomfort/Delineation

Suits from a standard card deck represent an exercise, the number/face the number of reps (Aces high at 15 reps). Flip over the card, perform the exercise, rinse and repeat.

4 Rounds, 13 cards each round….Math!!!
Spades – Shoulder Tap Merkins
Clubs – Crab Cakes
Diamonds – Jump squats
Hearts – Circle Ups

Spades – Merkins
Clubs – Calf Raises (2x)
Diamonds – SMCs
Hearts – Leg raises

Hearts – 6 inch drill (IC)

Spades – Peter Parker’s (2 is 1)
Clubs – Plank Jacks (2 is 1)
Diamonds – High knees (5x)
Hearts – Gas Pumps

In between rounds, we moseyed through the columns at Granny’s slalom style. YHC has to note that Jose must have known his MVP status was in jeaopardy, because he absolutely killed the last mosey.. He and Zoolander completely left the rest of the pax in their wake.

With just a minute or so left, old fashioned merkin wave closed us out, where again Jose outperformed!

We closed with the COT, name o rama, announcements, and prayer.

Reminders:
Gnarly Nutria tomorrow! Meet at 7:45 around the old Winn Dixie

Friday: A1C one year anniversary – 5:15AM and PickleBall at Pelican Park around 6:30 (I think)

Thank you again for the opportunity to lead, and I hope if you’re reading this, you’re safe, high, and dry from today’s storms.
