Mustang Still Has It

28 men got after it, uh, a week ago…and this is what I remember.

The Thang:

Mosey to Selwyn/AG.

COP (mountain climbers, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters, x20)

Split into 2 groups: first, to AG rails for 3 sets of 10 pull-ups, 10 jump (or straddle) overs…second, to previously invisible (to the Q at least) benches in AG bus parking lot for 3 sets of 10 dips, 10 derkins…switcheroo…and then plank-o-rama

Mosey to intersection of Colony and Runnymede…for “Route 66” BS up to Selwyn: 1.25 miles, with 11 stops for each “intersection” — yes, MPHS driveway counts … as does parking lot of barre workout facility [Dredd, what’s your lexicon for this?] — of escalating chgerkins (chest-to-ground merkins).  Mary whilst we wait for the 6. Repeato back down with sumo jump squats this time…and Mary on the AG track.

Partner Pyramid across AG field (partner 1 runs across width of field and back…partner 2 completes exercise…partners must complete total reps of each exercise as a team before moving to next exercise): 100 merkins – 200 flutters (double count) – 300 squats – 200 flutters (again, double count) – 100 merkins
150 LBCs for early finishers (#cheaters)…100-ish for next group…50-ish for some others…none for others #youvsyou

Mosey back up Colony and then backwards run all the waaaaaaaaaay up Spacklers. #turrible

Run back down and return home.

COT

Naked Moleskin:

Mustang Is Still Booming. Great to see another huuuuuuuge crowd at Mustang. #MakeMetroGreatAgain Even better to see a lot of folks I hadn’t seen in a while. (I’m sure the feeling was mutual…mostly.)  Lots of dudes flying out there with A/C leading the charge on both Route 66s…and Dredd spreading the #Mumblechatter and #TruthNuggets throughout our little adventure.

Addition Is Still Hard. Team-based addition is always fun. Add in some running and fatigue, and it’s always amusing to hear the Pax fumble with counting. Add in double-count flutters (or maybe IC counting flutters for some of you), and that equals a #Math-tastrophe.

AG Rails Are Still High. They are really high. Some Pax have the hops to do it. Others just avoid the jump overs. Superman decided that he would just straddle the bar facedown and slowly move his legs over the bar and therefore put all of his weight in his nether regions. #MyEyes!  After ‘Shank questioned Superman’s form, Superman dryly responded, “I’m done with kids.”  #truedat

Dredd Is Still Chatty, or Never Question the Spiritual Naantan (Sorry, Always Question…). Welcome to 2 new FNGs.  Proehl is a sophomore (and wide receiver) at MPHS and his dad Broken Arrow is some kind of mad, blue-haired nuclear physicist for the Panthers (might have that one wrong though).  Proehl had clearly never heard of the real Ricky Proehl, and I’m sure he ranted about it in a Snapchat or on his fake Instagram account (that’s Finstagram for you millennials) following the workout.  Our Spiritual Naantan was resolute in the naming, and I was just glad his reference was from the ’90s and ’00s so we gave it to him.  Hope to see both Proehl and Broken Arrow back soon.
