Another Friday, another Q, another chance to lead the suck and what better time to do a little Tabata than now?!?  As the PAX was milling around waiting in anticipation for who knew what, it was good to see some old faces- welcome back Next Door and good to see Pharaoh and I could cross paths again vs. trade off on workouts.

5:30, disclaimer given, let the fun begin with 5 Burpees OYO.  But wait, here comes Buck!  I’m starting to think he may be waiting around the corner to watch us start before he comes into the parking lot.  Squats for the group until he gets out of the car.  At this point MASH shares his theory that maybe YHC just improvises or does he really have a plan?  YHC divulges that he learned from one of our senior leaders that you just need to speak with confidence and don’t hesitate, that way it looks like you meant to do that.

Off through the parking lot, hit some lines for side slides, backwards runs, forward runs, high knees, and butt kickers before getting to the covered entry way for Tabata.  Note to self- be careful with Honey Do behind you, the big guy is quick so keep moving!

Tabata: 4 rounds of each exercise, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest

• SSH
• Merkins (regular, wide, diamond, regular)
• Squats
• LBC
• Peoples chair w/ air presses (hold peoples chair for the duration)
• Apolo Ohnos
• Shoulder taps
• Table tops

Run a lap around the drop off circle just to take a break.  Hokie Pokie commented that it wasn’t raining, why are we under the cover?  Really YHC just figured working out under the cover would be easier to see my cheat sheet for exercises.

Tabata: 4 rounds of each exercise, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest

• Line hops (front/back, side/side, side/side, back/front)
• Derkins
• Lunges (front, back, front, back)
• RBC
• Dips
• Step ups
• Scorpion dry docks (rt leg up, left, right, left)

6:15:02- Recover Recover

 

Prayers, Praises, Announcements

• Work day over at Amway’s M’s Oct 16, Hokie Pokie has a Signup Genius and the details
• Mt. Pleasant AO beatdown tomorrow, Hop Hunter has the Q

Pray it out

 

Moleskin- always a good feeling to see guys in the parking lot when its my time to lead.  So much better working out with the group.  Even better when the school admins and workers pass by and actually encourage us as we sweat- you should see how much better the form is as well as the increase in rep count!  Nice to have a chatty group this morning to break up the suck.  As long as Uecker is there, there will be chatter (and that’s good for me).  Seems like the chatter helps divert the attention from doing yet another rep, especially when the exercise is a merkin or derkin.  I was told the workouts don’t get easier but you get stronger.  At times I feel like I’m going the wrong way.  So glad we only did 4 rounds today vs. 8.  Hope no one was disappointed by that and felt cheated.  And sorry time didn’t allow for some Mary.  The disappointment from you guys was genuine I am sure.  I was really hoping to get in an audible round of Squirm just for Pharaoh.  That’s all I got, peace out homeys!
