Slow it down & do it right

All Harrisburg Backblasts

March 12th, 2020 By FlipPhone

13 men showed up at the Ridge this morning to slow things down and listen to the Q count “one two three” for 45 minutes.  It’s surprising how difficult exercises are when done slowly and completely.  We “do” 200 mericans at the Murph, but couldn’t even get in 100 today.

The electronic weinke had a list of exercises.  Some went well, some didn’t, but we got stronger anyway.  It went like this.

Warm Up

SSH x 20, IST x 16, Windmill x 12, Mountain Climber x 20

The Thang

Random exercises in slow cadence

Mericans, hold 1 inch off the ground while Q counts to 3

Jane Fonda x 15 each side

WW2 sit-ups with awkward slow count

Plank

Bulgarian Squats, holding down for count of slow 3

Mericans

Squats

Jane Fonda x 15 each side

Mosey to the wall

People’s Chair with air presses

Mike Tyson’s

No idea why this is called Mike Tyson

This is not a 3-count exercise, despite the Qs best effort

2nd round of People’s chair with air presses

Bridge with alternating leg up

Mosey around school to picnic tables

Squats in slow cadence

Dips with hold low position for slow 3 count x 10

Mericans x 10 with hold in low position for 3 count

Dips with hold low position for slow 3 count x 6

Qs arms gave out here and we recovered early

Mosey back to parking lot

Squats

Bulgarian squats with low hold 3 count x 8 each leg

Those were effective, 10 would have been 2 more than YHCs legs could handle

Mary

Eye of the needle stretch

Low Flutter x 20

JLo x 15

Announcements

Dawg House anniversary is tomorrow at JM Robinson.  @Escalade has Kettlebell Q so two good options tomorrow.

Moleskin

It’s crazy out there.  Glad you guys showed up and aren’t “social distancing” at 5:30.

Great to see @Fig back out.  He’s recovered from BRR last year and ready to sign up again.

@Rerun was also a pretty new face to Thursdays.  Welcome out man.

Some good mumblechatter this morning.  Where’s @Kojak?  He missed a good chance to give the Q a hard time today.

It’s ok to ask for help for your 401ks.  They need it.  Jimmy almost got lost in the tornado and now is losing his life savings.  #PrayingforYouJimmy

Thanks for coming out guys.  Make it a great day.
