The difference between Sweat and Wet

The difference between Sweat and Wet

With the overnight rainstorm, there were a few serious questions:

• How many PAX would show up?
• Would YHC have to put together a “Sweat” weinke or a “Wet” weinke?
• Would the 2 HC FNGs actually post?

What YHC didn’t know was the Coke welcoming committee likes the rain.  When the PAX showed up, we were greeted by a huge inflatable Powerade bottle to show us exactly where to park and to get us pumped up for the big event.

WARMUP

• Mosey around front and side lots with Karaoke, High Knees, Buttkickers
• Disclaimer given
• SSH x 25
• IW x 25
• Merkins x 10
• MC x 25
• Flutters x 25

THANG

Grab some frisbees and a 3lb weight disguised as a speaker and take off towards back of school.   Along the way, we stopped for some coupon work:

• Curl to Press x 15
• Thrusters x 15
• Steering Wheels x 15

Mosey to Brick pile.  2 bricks per PAX.  Mosey to hill behind baseball field.  Split into four teams of 3 PAX for 150 of called exercise with bricks

• P1 at top of hill doing AYG exercise (Round 1: Man-maker Merkins, Plank Jack Burpees)
• P2 carries bricks on hill
• P3 at bottom of hill doing called exercise (Round 1:  Squats; Round 2: Thrusters)

Recover to top of hill.  Mumblechatter about hill and bricks was prevalent.  PAX plank up on bricks shoulder-to-shoulder.  While remaining in plank position, pass Brick in right hand all the way to furthest PAX on left.  Pass Brick in left hand all the way to furthest PAX on right.

Got no complaints from PAX when told to leave bricks, grab frisbees, and mosey to practice football field through some puddles.  Kept same teams for a frisbee hairburner race.  P1 does hairburner, P2 & P3 do 3 Burpees, catch P1, and trade out with P1 until end of LONG field.  More mumblechatter ensued.  Can’t please this PAX.

Time to make our way back to bricks.  Kept same teams for Frisbee throw & sprint.   One partner throws frisbee as far as he can, team sprint to the frisbee.  Repeato until you reach bricks.  Apparently, you CAN please the PAX!  Lots of smiles/jokes on this one even though some serious sprinting.  Return with the bricks to the pile area for some IC exercises:

• Shoulder side raises x 10
• High knees x 20
• Shoulder front raises x 10
• High knees x 20
• Steering wheel x 20
• High Knees x 20

Mosey to concession stand for some wall work:

• People’s Chair with Air Presses x 25
• 6 count Doc McMerkins against wall x 10
• People’s Chair with Jabs x 25
• One-legged Dips x 10 each leg

Mosey to front parking lot for a few mins of Mary:  Flutters, Dolly, J-Lo, and closed with the alphabet.

MOLESKINE

Lots of interesting activity/chatter today.  Started with the 6am Posse wake up GroupMe text with a beautiful picture of Team Coke/Powerade invading the AO. Although YHC briefly thought he drunkenly sent a preblast email to “DL – All Employees” it turns out they were there for a Powerade Flag Football event.  Posse continues to impress with his postings and was the only one for a 6am pre-run.  UNLESS, you count Jingles showing up “early” to try and get in on the action.  He actually stated he never knew we give a “one minute warning” prior to start.

Damascus rocked the bricks part of the workout, even lifting the bricks on the Burpees.  Rumor has it that each Brick weighed the exact amount of a wine bottle so hence the expertise.  Some PAX even noticed his pinkies being out as he toted the bricks.  Well done Sommelier.

Goodfella dominated the frisbee hairburners.  Keeping his @ss low is not a problem apparently.  But he seemed more intrigued with the J-Lo movement during Mary.  Shop Dawg keeps bringing it strong; great to see him teaching the FNG Slim Jim a few tricks.  Maple Syrup fought hard through the Brick pile up.  Popeye and Gator Cub got stuck with YHC on the hill exercises and had to help out my soccer arms performance.  Jingles continues to impress and get sneaky fast at each workout.  Foundation harkened back to his old football days by rolling around in the mud on the hairburners.  Shampoodle lived up to his nickname by enjoying the frisbee run and catch the best, even trying to catch a few in his teeth.  And welcome to FNG Slim Jim (thanks to Posse for the name).  He hung tough under the tutelage of Shop Dawg and wasn’t afraid to get after it, even though he is a self-professed member of the Soccer Arms Club.

Great work today fellas.  Appreciate you letting me lead while not taking things too seriously.  Good to see some smiles during the frisbee throws.  We will have to incorporate more of that.

Thanks for the takeout Shop Dawg, and thanks to Goodfella for the reminder about being grateful for the amazing women in our lives.
