FNG-1 = Cornholio. FNG-2 = Ryobi. Clark – need to get these guys set up on the site.
Yes – this backblast is 9 days late. Doesn't negate the work that was done by those that finished out the last week of the beloved Iron Pax Challenge.
Warm Up
Go get a block and return to Launch Pad… quickly. There – now you're warm.
Tha Thang (lots of math this week)
Set the timer for 52 minutes. Everything is done in sets of 25. Once you complete 25 reps of given exercise, stop and "run" 25 yards, do 3 burpees and "run" 25 yards back. (the definition of running deteriorated as the workout progressed).
200 curls
175 squats
150 Overhead Press
125 Kettlebell Swings
100 Merkins
75 Thrusters
50 Bonnie Blairs (right leg-left leg = 1 rep)
25 Blockees
If you finish all of the exercises, repeat in reverse order from the last time you just did it.The burpees DO NOT count in your rep count.900 reps is the total if you get through all of the exercises.
Goal is to get as many reps in 52 min as possible. So – we're all working for 52 minutes no matter what.
Reflection:
James 2:15-16 ¹5 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. ¹6 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
(1 John 3:17) ¹7 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?"
Question: Am I compassionate or merciful?
Moleskin
– Pesci capped off the IPC series as the resident beast of Mustang. Also – note that Pesci can't count. He did an extra set of Bonnie Blairs at the end (that basically didn't count)
– It was comical to watch how folks shot out like a cannon on the first few sets for the 25 yd dash. 18 minutes in, most were asking if we were almost done. By the end, most of the 25yd journey was a shuffle
– Good to see Ryobi back out. Transplant from Oregon.
– Lots of grumbling about whether IPC was the reason for the low PAX turnout over last few weeks and whether IPC will live again next year. Challenge all those who could not participate (~Hefty~) to train up for next year.
– Clark said he would see YHC again in October of next year… not sure what that means…
– Twinkle's mobile party speakers should be a requirement for all Mustang workouts. The neighbors love them and so does YHC. Rock on.
– Thanks to Toto for picking up the other 50% of IPC Qs (well – 2 out of 5, but there is debate whether Week 0 is really a thing)
Pleasure to lead this fine group of men.
