Look Ma! Still No Hands!!!

Look Ma! Still No Hands!!!

I had a benign fatty growth removed from my shoulder 2 weeks ago. Pathology report and stitches out yesterday. I was back in business…or so I thought. Nurse who removed stitches said I should probably take another week without doing any push-ups (I refrained from asking her if she was familiar with merkins). Her logic was that it would be possible for the wound to pop open exposing a golf-ball sized hole in my shoulder. I went with her advice and modified the Q I signed up for 2 days prior. No upper body work would be performed. What do we do now?

Warm up:

Lap around the back of the school all the way to the rock area and large parking lot.

Disclaimer and apology (no upper body work). Frack would have left right then and there. Several probably wish they had.

SSH x 20

Squats x 20

Potato Pickers x 20

Old man stretch OYO

The Thang:

Though Posse was not in attendance, I’m certain he’ll be disappointed to learn no PRTs were included in the workout. If you don’t know what a PRT is, I’ll show you…in a week.

Light Pole Suicides – 3 sets of Abs and then from the speed bumps by the steps, run the first row of the parking lot. At each of the lights, do 5 exercises and run back. When back to base, do 5 more.

Round 1. Abs (IC): LBC x 25 / Pistol LBC x 20/ Pistol LBC x 20 – then Bobby Hurley’s (to send basketball out in style)

Round 2. Abs (IC): American Hammers x 25 / Bicycles x 25 / Flutters x 25 – then Squats, but this time run to far pole first and work backwards from there

Mosey to bridge. Walking lunge all the way across or Bear Crawl (Foundation Bear-crawled it in honor of Doughboy).

Head to half-wall. OYO 20 step-ups each leg

Beside the half wall, partner up. Partner 1 does squats while Partner 2 runs back across bridge, up the hill and touches the steps, and comes back. Many said it was ‘too far’. I agree. 300 total squats

Mosey back to stairs for calf raises

10 straight/10 out/ 10 in while going up the steps. Bottle cap cracked the code and decided to stay put on one step. Unlike Damascus, he does not look forward to breathing on other men’s necks!

Mosey back to home base for Circle Time. 3.25 miles covered and not a single merkin accomplished. Frack (both of them most likely) would be so disappointed.

Prayer Requests:

Carbon Copy having clavicle surgery today

One in our group’s wife was recently diagnosed with cancer. We don’t know who it is yet, but God does and we’ll ask His favor and healing on this precious M

Thanks, Damascus for taking us out. May God protect you and your family out in Vail. Just promise us no downhill skiing piggy back rides while you’re out there!
