10 Pax met in the gloom to turn their man boobs into pool ready pecs. YHC warned them of the foolish plans, and appropriately disclaimed, they followed me anyway. This was our adventure.
Warmorama
- Mosey around the parking lot
- SSH, IST, Toy Soldier, long snapper (all x10 IC), and arm circles.
The Thang: Grabbing blocks we made our way to the turf fields and lined up across the end line. The plan was simple, each PAX picked a numbered ball, we did the three corresponding exercises (1 ‘mercian exercise, one block exercise, one mary exercise) then we ran a bid and repeatoed until all PAX had chosen. Here were the excercises:
1 – Dive bomber ‘mercians x 8 OYO; High Curls, LBCs
2 – Ballroom ‘mercians – one hand hip, one up/out X5 ES OYO; Full curls; WW2’s
3 – Typewriter ‘mercians – down to side, across and up X8 OYO; Skull Crushers; Pretzle Crunch
4 – Volleyball ‘mercians – up and down each side x5 IC; Shoulder Press; Reverse Pretzel Crunch
5 – Shoulder touch ‘mercians (Snake Eyes led) X5 IC; Squat; Freddy Mercury
6 – Knee touch ‘mercians X5 IC; Block Swings; Suzanne Summers
7 – Uneven block ‘mericans X4 IC Each Side; Lawn Mowers, Low Flutter
8 – Ranger ‘mercians x5 IC; Bent Over Row, American Hammer
9 – Diamond ‘mercians (Subbed for Airborne Mindbender ‘mercians); Dead Lifts, Heals to Heaven
10 – Spider Man ‘mercians X8 OYO; Slow Deep Squats, The W
Mary:
Finished off with one final (so we thought) ‘Merican excercise, slow deep ‘Mericans with the Pax taking turns counting each cadence. Some went fast, some went slow, we all got stronger.
Then PAX choice Mary excercise, all typical stuff, Snake Eyes threw in one final curveball with Shoulder Touch ‘Mericans on our blocks to round out our sculpting.
MOLESKIN:
- It had been almost a year since my last Q, but flawless execution didn’t reveal a hint of rust (sarcasm implicit).
- I’ve been away from The Glorious Estate for a while, while it was great to be back, it seems the PAX have forgotten somehow how to properly count IC exercises. Additional training recommended.
- All in all it was a beautiful morning, great weather, and all (well most) of the PAX put in the work!
