We did the usual old guys long and strong warm up. In Shooters honor we used coupons in the beat down. A deck of cards was used to pick the exercise and number of reps. Aces and face cards were all 10 reps. The 4 suits represented one exercise with the coupons. Chest press, overhead press, squats and windshield wipers over the coupon. We had a strong PAX and got thru the entire deck. Only one coupon broke by YHC. Name- arama and giving the FNG the F3 name “John Deere”. Prayers for those impacted by the CA fires, Bourbon St attack and BBQ’s brother Ned fighting pneumonia. Fletch prayed us out. It was an honor to lead these fine young men!

Merkin Maniacs! – from BBQ
I was a chilly low 40’s on the top deck of the A1C! We warmed up with most of the usual warm ups. A new twist was added to LBC’s with a roll right and left after each LBC. The thang was 5 corners with a different set of 10 Merkins in each corner. Regular Merkins and incline both. On the 3 long stretches on the top deck and ramp to the 2nd level we did LT Dans 2/1 lunges and squats . We had some time at the end for some stretching. Moby prayed up out. It was an honor to lead these fine young men!

A Rocking BBQ – from Jose10k
You know it’s going to be a good beatdown when BBQ comes rolling up with the windows down, music up, rocking out to classic Rock. That’s how we roll at the A1C. Other AOs don’t appreciate the music, some frown at the noise YHC brings with him (side eye to Zoolander), but the A1C embraces it. In fact, we incorporate it into each workout. And if you been paying attention to Hammer, Van Halen is the key to uniting the world. If you don’t believe me, reach out to him.
Warm-up: The usual
The Thang: Moseyed over to the courthouse for a descending ladder. 10 burpees, run to the benches, 10 freak nasties, run up the stairs for 10 copperhead squats, run around the courthouse. Repeat with 9 reps of each exercise. Back to the top for some Mary and COT.
Turkey Trot is coming, Tyson vs Paul Fight tonight. Thanks for letting me lead, thanking for reading, thanks for rocking out with me. Zoolander, music is not our enemy. We can unite together under the flag of Van Halen.

Swamp Sweat: The Humidity Hustle with Usual HIMS at the A1C – from Jose10k
In the sticky, hot air, this workout keeps it simple. Start with 5 minutes of warmup stretches to shake off the sluggishness. Then dive into a set of “11s” on a ramp: Freak Nasties at the top, Merkins at the bottom, with every journey down and up testing your agility—backward runs, karaoke, side steps, sprints, and more. Once done, tackle the classic Lt. Dan to the bottom and back up. Finish strong with 10 minutes of core work at the top. COT. Sign up to Q boys!
Thanks for the read/post this morning. When is the cold front going to come? Where’s Fletch? When is Bushwacker going to post? These questions and more, next week… -

7 backward lunges (2is1)

Fletch led us out with prayers for Jose’s mother-in-law Marilyn – who’s in hospice, her family, and for world peace.
BBQ introduced the pax to his new car – a “noice” looking Subaru.
According to Moby, the Subarus can double as tow trucks for stuck Tesla vehicles.
