Directions written in Japanese would be easier to follow



Directions written in Japanese would be easier to follow

At least Lorax thought the instructions for our main event were in Japanese.    He clearly doesn’t pay attention for more than 5 seconds of instruction.    I think he still got his money’s worth even though he took a short cut on one of our sets.   Snooka was only too happy to play dumb and follow along in order to skip a ramp run.     Floor Slapper and Motor Boat also cut off one set of stairs but it’s ok to do that when you are not in the lead and the short cut doesn’t put you in front.  8 other men basically did the correct routine as clearly communicated in Japanese.

The Thang:

COP with 5 burpees, 15 IW, 10 burpees, and 15 mountain climbers.

Run over to the facility next to the CCHS practice field and grab a decent size rock.    Head up to top of parking deck via stairs at northwest end of deck for instructions on our main event:

  • Perform 20 curls, 20 push presses, and 20 skull crushers with rock.
  • Run down stairs, across to middle stairwell and back up to top of deck
  • Perform 20 merkins
  • Run down stairs, across to other end of deck and back to top of deck
  • Perform 20 squats
  • Run down stairs to level 1 and then up the ramps back to rocks.
  • Grab rock and head back down stairs, over to middle stairs, and back up to top
  • Perform 20 curls, 20 push presses, and 20 skull crushers
  • Down stairs, over to other end, and back up to top
  • Perform 20 merkins
  • Down stairs and up ramps to level 4
  • Perform 20 squats
  • Down stairs, over to middle and back up to level 4
  • Grab rock, back down stairs, over to end of deck and back up to level 4
  • Perform 20 curls, 20 push presses, and 20 skull crushers
  • Back down stairs and then up ramps to level 4
  • 20 merkins
  • Back down stairs, over to middle, and back up to level 4
  • 20 squats
  • Back down stairs, over to end, and back up to level 4
  • Finish set

COP for a few minutes of mary waiting for pax to finish up.  Take rock back down to resting place and mosey back to starting point.    Finish with a few minutes of exercises (don’t recall what they were – I was smoked at this point).

Great morning and strong group of 12.   Hops was actually early so the morning was perfect, even the directions.  Cane has been getting his money’s worth in the gym and he hung up around front all morning while Lorax and Snooka took a DQ for the short cut.   Hopefully the new faces experienced a good workout.

It’s good to see the numbers consistently above 10 as 10-16 is a perfect number in my view.    Next time we will flip the tractor tires down on the practice field.

As always, it was a privilege to lead such a great group of men.

Announcements – Hawks Nest still meeting at Dunkin Donuts until at least Labor Day.   Will find a new AO if Charlotte Latin campus doesn’t reopen then.

A few items worth noting:
* Sir Topham was crazy LIFO, showing Floorslapper how it’s really done. Also ST had a bleached rat tail as a youth
* Motorboat was all too quick to let ST carry his rock back to pile as ST caught up with pax after rock acquisition
* Chelms called out Snuka for questionable form! No conscience, but he’s right. Snuka’s form is atrocious, except when he’s running
