    DISCLAIMER

    YHC spent some extra time on the disclaimer this morning. Watch your six. Watch yourself.

    WARM UP
    Mosey the parking lot to the truck to distribute 2 bricks per PAX. PAX circled the lot and then to the front of the bandstand. 20 SSH IC, 20 Grassgrabbers IC, 10 Self Love IC, General leg stretching, 20 Peter Parkers IC, followed by 50 LBCs OYO.

    THANG 1 – BLIMPS (with Bricks) at the lightpost intervals, followed by….another brick BLIMPS across magazine to the fountain.

    THANG 2 – PAX paired up for CBGB (Curls, Brickbys, Goblet Squats, Brick-rows ), one PAX lifts while the other runs with the bricks up two lights and back and flapjack, until all PAX complete.

    THANG 3 – Grab some Wall. Dodo Bird (With two bricks assume the People’s Chair, brick in each hand and at rest down your sides is the default position. In cadence or OYO, (1) side shoulder raise [arms straight and lifted to the sides to shoulder height], (2) back to default, (3) front shoulder raise [arms straight and lifted in front of you to shoulder height],and Wonderbra (assume the People’s Chair position. Start with bricks close to body at chest level. Push bricks up over head fully extending arms, bring bricks back down to chest position, then push them straight out in front until complete arm extension reached. Return to starting position). 3 sets 3 each. 10 count between. Then the PAX finished with some balls-to-the-wall for old times sake.

    YHC then led the PAX to some dry-ish parking in front of the pool. Circle up for Mary – Russian Brick Twists, Brick Mission Impossible, and flutterkicks with bricks held high. The PAX then ligned up facing each other, bricks extended but not touching, forming a tunnel, down which the PAX on the end had to bear crawl. Certainly an element of trust going under trembling arms from the previous exercises.

    The PAX then “stashed” the bricks in an orderly fashion with the hopes they will be there for the Skinny and Birdcage in upcoming weeks.

    COT

    Back to the flag for countoff, name-o-rama, announcements and intentions. Remember Holy Grove, that he recovers quickly and can rejoin us soon.

  • Slogging with the Best

    PAX think that YHC doesn’t like to mosey.  Well, they’re mostly right, because it sux.  Anyway, you gotta keep the PAX on their game.  So JV-style (not too extreme, nothing Mariah- or Bieber-like), today’s wet and soggy Birdcage includes moseying.  I mean it’s wet out there; might as well enjoy running through it.

    Warm-Up in the slosh in front of the zoo:

    • SSHs 57xIC
    • Kim Jong Uns 20xIC
    • Imperial Walkers(?) 20xIC
    • Low Slow Squats 20xIC
    • Merkins 20xIC

    Mosey up to the levee on the fly for some Elevens.  Start with one merk at the bottom of the hill and ten squat jumps at the top; continue until 10 merks at the top and one squat jump at the top.

    Mosey farther down (up?) the levee to pair up for patty-cake merkins.: 20 each hand.  Apparently, the PAX was incapable of counting and finished before YHC and his partner, Douille.  So rinse and repeat–correctly this time.

    Mosey to the Maze (or, as YHC was corrected, the Labyrinth) for Circle of Mary:

    • LBCs 20xIC
    • Flutter Kicks 20xIC
    • American Hammerx 20xIC
    • Dying Cockroach 20xIC
    • Penguins 20xIC
    • Big Boy Sit Ups 20xIC
    • Hello Dollys 20xIC
    • some other ones I no longer recall.

    Mosey back to the flag through the puddles for a minute (or two, maybe) of plank to finish at 6:15am at the dot (plus or minus).  Count Off, Name-O-Rama, Announcements and thanks for the soggy morning.  It was more moseying than YHC likes, but it’s good him. 

    I hope I got all the PAX.  Video notwithstanding, YHC thought there were 23 PAX.  But other PAX assured him there were only 22.  If YHC weren’t a ludite, he might actually know how to properly record a video.  So if I missed you, humble apologies.  Thanks, JV
