Blackjack 21

Event Date

Jan 02, 2021

AO


Only 4 men found their way to the AO amidst the darkness and gloom. FNG1 is from my neighborhood and used to live in Sailview – if he returns I think "Boomerang" or "Rebound" would be on the table.

Warm Up

21 IC SSH

15 IC Windmills

15 IC Tony Hawks

10 IC Dippy Birds

Arm circles

Mosey to the back and get a block then back to AO.

Parking Lot Fun

Murder Bunnies up and mosey back

Block Karoke left and then Block Karoke right

The Thang

Five exercises, we do the count based on your Blackjack 21 hand. Must get to 15 and hit on 15, bust and we do all 21, get 21 and we get rewarded by only doing 10 reps. (We only got 1 Blackjack 21 the entire time).

Exercises were: Merkins, Block Snatches, Block Trifectas, Block Kickstand Deadlifts (each leg), Block WWI's.

We managed 4 full rounds of this full-body, New Year workout.

Blocks back and that was that.

Moleskine

Cheetah was still riding high from the OSU win.

Shirley can sure knock out Merkins.

FNG1 was a trooper – hope to have him back.

Reflection

In Exodus Chapter 12, God reveals to Moses that the Passover would mark the beginning of the year from that point forward. I don't know when or how it got moved to Rosh Hashanna, but at that point it was pretty clear that the new year was counted from that miracle forward. The people were to take a lamb without blemish and sacrifice it in similitude of the Savior. So even though all that really happened was one day giving way to another, we might look to the New Year with the idea that all things should center on our Savior. As we recognize His sacrifice we are more willing to make our own sacrifices. We all hope for 2021 to be great – so let's be sure it is centered on He who is great above all else.

Always fun – except the 21 block WWI's…definitely not fun.
