Whippin’ Post

Preamble:

Q sheet needed some love and I needed so run a BD so the stars aligned for me to step up. Rain stopped an hour or so before we kicked things off, and that compelled me to pivot from the real baseball field to a homemade diamond with cones on the turf field.

8 guys who love the cold, music, and wheelbarrows showed up ready to rock.

Warm-O-Rama:

Noting that most of our warmups are just exercises instead of actual stretches preparing the body, I’m trying to implement a few good ones:

• SSH
• Hillbilly (stretch lats and some other stuff I’m sure)
• Michael Phelps
• Scarecrows (open up the chest and shoulders at the same time)
• Weed pickers

The Thang:

On the field we had 4 cones each with a different exercise:

1. 10 burpees
2. 20 side plank dips
3. 30 merkins
4. 40 LBCs

3 rounds, with each round having it’s unique way of getting from cone to cone:

1. Duck walks (brutal)
2. Bear crawls
3. Wheelbarrows

We then moseyed to the bottom of the hill and grabbed some coupons:

• Bottom of the hill – 15 slow reverse curls
• Top of the hill – 10 squat jumps

x2

• Bottom of hill – 15 slow reverse rows
• Top of the hill – 20 big boys

Ran back to the flag for a bit of Mary and then time.

COT:

Prayers of thanks for Norm’s successful procedure and his recovery. Pusher was recently laid off and if you know of anyone in the pharma sales space, he’s your guy.

Let’s continue to lift each other, and those around us, up into positivity.  Unfortunately our culture seems to feed on negative emotion and selfishness, but this isn’t the way towards a fulfilled life!

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Thank you for letting me lead.
