Earthworms & Inchworms

Earthworms & Inchworms

Bushwood’s got the DMZ SF safely sequestered in his garage, so we planted the VSF, after a curious-looking vehicle pulled into Carmel Road Park, popped the trunk, and deposited something or someone in aforementioned trunk and took off.  Thought it might have been a delivery of contraband to Semi-Gloss, but he was a no show….

Anyway, the veteran pax of northern Area 51 and southern Metro were duly disclaimed, and off we went for another trek through the DMZ.

T-claps to our WD Jamboree for running in. #oldmanstrong

The Thang & Ye Olde Moleskine:

At some point after we launched, Aqua Fresh joined us..but we didn’t go far.  Spent the whole morning in the CAC parking lot and courtyard.  So 12 Monday-morning warriors did something akin to  the below…

COP

IW x 20 IC – mumblechatter already starting

Slow squat x 20 IC

MC x 20 IC

Jog to wall by canopied entrance

People’s Chair while YHC explained some partner work

P1 runs one direction, P2 runs t’other; about 1/4 mile around the whole complex?  Maybe a 1/3 mile?  Watch I was wearing was to keep time, not distance.  Pothole, Benefactor, One Eye, Hamlet were getting after it quite well.

at end of 1st lap – 10 hand-slap partner merkins

Another lap, 10 burpees at end

Jog to courtyard for….

20 Jump-ups; YHC explained how to do them…yes – there’s a right way to do them…poked the bear by questioning the Metro pax’ form…..Egypt and Orlando took the bait

High Slow Flutter x 20 IC.  Most of the pax wanted to stop after 10.  But NO!  It’s supposed to hurt, and that one does if done correctly.  You’re welcome.

American Hammer x 15 IC. Site Q One-Eye modified, unbeknownst to YHC but Hamlet was questioned to which he said modification was necessary.  Someone called them Make American Hammers Great Again.

Realized I’m getting the order wrong here, but who cares.

Jog back around complex and to bottom of sneaky-sloped lot.

Broad jump 75-80 yards. Mosey back down.  Benefactor killing it…making his Mustang brethren proud.

Bearcrawl back up the lot. Mosey back down.

Backwards run up the lot.  Had to call this so to give myself a chance to keep up with Benefactor.  One Eye kept up, too.  #wheelhouse #alwaysacompetition

Jog back to the wall for some more People’s Chair with overhead presses.

Wall-thar N’Djaiye x 15 IC.  This necessitated demonstration.  Thanks to Snowflake for introducing this to the Centurion pax Friday…courtesy of the UC.  #goodsouthernflavor  The pax struggled on the first set, but got the hang of it…and it hurt the shoulders….as it was intended.

I think we did another lap around the complex and back down to the bottom of the lot for something like….

Backwards bear crawl 40 yards, backwards run the rest.  Mosey back down

Inchworm merkins the entire 80 yards.  This hurt…I don’t care who you are.  Benefactor out front again…form was good.  Egypt’s merkin form…not so much.

Can’t remember what else we did in the CAC lot, but I’m sure it was tough….

We then jogged back to the launch lot.  Glad the sketchy car hadn’t returned…that was weird.

6 MoM

Dolly x 13 IC    Orlando questioned the #…YHC’s favorite #

Protractor

Elbow plank w/10 alternating leg lifts IC  The pax with iffy backs questioned YHC’s assertion that it’s good for the back…true story on good authority.  You’re welcome.  Partner carries are not so good for the back.  Why the heck did we ever do those?….just stupid.  Hope no one Q’s that non-sense anymore.

We finished with SSH x 13 IC…because everyone loves the SSH…..not really.  It’s not a good exercise frankly, and is a surefire way to increase the likelihood of plantar issues… but it’s a staple.

Done.

COT

Steinbrenner took us out in prayer.

Announcements:

3rd F group #F3Substrata meets tomorrow night at Rusty Onion – Carmel Commons.  Currently in a book entitled “How God Makes Men” by Patrick Morley.  We’d love to have you guys join us.  #ISI

AND NOW FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

PLEASE PRAY FOR LITTLE W & MCGEE WHO LOST THEIR WIFE AND MOM, RESPECTIVELY.  M  LITTLE W (RUTH CUTHBERTSON SAMUELSON) SUCCUMBED TO CANCER AT ABOUT 6AM THIS MORNING, BUT SHE IS NOW WITH HER SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.  SO WHILE THE PAIN IS DEEP FOR THE FAMILY & FRIENDS LEFT BEHIND, THE PEACE AND HOPE IS THAT SHE HAD SOMETHING THAT COULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM HER, OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER WHO KNOWS CHRIST AS SAVIOR….NAMELY ETERNAL LIFE WITH GOD THE FATHER AND CHRIST THE SON.  THE WORDS OF CHRIST WRITTEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 14TH CHAPTER OF JOHN CAPTURE WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE A FAITH AND ASSURANCE THAT YOU AND THOSE YOU LOVE CAN BE SURE OF WHERE YOU’RE GOING WHEN  LIFE ON EARTH ENDS:

““Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. ² In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. ⁴ And you know the way to where I am going.” ⁵ Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” ⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
