It’s hot once again. So let’s do something real smart and head into the deck for Grandmaster’s Birthday Beatdown. It went a little like this.

WARMUP: Mosey over to the bottom of deck for the ubiquitous 49 SSHs IC. Then we did 10 windmills to loosen the calves back up and finished with some arm circles.

THE THANG: Tape to the wall was the Weinke for the day. Exercises stack like the 12 days Christmas but the counts all have something to do with 49:
4 Ramps, then down the stairs
7 Burpees
9 Core Killers
13 Curl-Press-Crush with a plate
36 Bent Over Rows with a plate
49 LBCs IC

If you finish all of that start unstacking. Everyone finished stacking, some unstacked more than others. All were covered in sweat.

MARY: Mosey back to the AO and get on your six for alphabet abs. The Q called out H-A-P-P-Y-_-B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y but did not require the birthday boy’s name.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Nothing much.

COT: There were prayer requests, but since it is now two days later while YHC writes this, they have slipped memory. Cobains.

I will say that I am so glad to have this group of guys to share my years with. I told someone the other day that 17 feels like two years ago, but also last Tuesday feels like two years ago. Life moves fast and we have some great partners to live it with in this group. We get healthier. We share struggles and accomplishments. (SouthSide has lost 30 pounds since April, completely naturally, no injections. Amazing!) Thanks for showing up, pushing each other to be better, and making an impact on each other and the world.

I should also note that Squid made up for not posting at book club on Friday afternoon.
