Ended Count-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama (welcome to Swipe) 2 days… Although thought today was Friday weightroom and got a special surprise!

Ball-O-Man: YHC shared about a God that is in perfect community, triune (father, spirit, son). How we are made in His image and therefore are built to live in community with one another and God. Isolation is an enemy we all face.

Prayers were lifted up for O’doyle’s family and the friend (including Mogul) that suffered the tragic lose of a young 39 year old brother. (That Peace & Comfort would be received in their mourning)

Prayers for Bootlegs friend undergoing a double myectomy today. That her image is not in her physical form but in the image God created inside her. (Strength & peace)

Prayers for Lars wife and unborn child. That the Lord would do marvelous things and give her and the baby overwhelming comfort, peace, and strength as she fights for her and baby Lucy’s life.

Extremely, grateful for you men in the gloom the reminder that we come as we are and we get better together because of one another. Mogul reminded us not to let people give up on themselves, if.you see someone isolating you might have to do the work for them, but get them out here in one form or another!

Bo

Back-Blast: Whineman’s Hill – 02.07.19

PAX: Brain (showing off the guns and quads for the warm weather in the high 40s) Hack, Fresh Prince, Grovetucky, Tarmac, LaLa

QIC: Mariah

After considering a roll in the grass for Brain we did a quick hammy stretch oyo then mosey around the park up to the fire station.

COP
SSH x30ic
SS-squat jumps x15ic
Mosey down hill to playground for a slower paced stretch inspired by Conor McGregor…

Article/demo here: https://bit.ly/2SfKTqc
1 – flexion gaping – kneel to ground and place one ankle behind other knee and sit down far as you can move hips side to side. Hold for time, switch.
2. Forward lunge – elbows to ankle, sink hips to ground, hold for time, switch.
3. Side lunge – sink hips to ground, hold for time, switch.
4. Toe squat – deep as possible with knees together, hold for time. 10ct each pax.
5. Hinge squat – spread legs hands on outside shoes, straight legs/flat back, hold 5ct, hinge to deep squat hands still on shoes chest up/back flat, 5ct, repeato x10 (like monkey humpers).
6. Dead hangs – we split the pax for this. Half did lean hangs from swing chains letting lats stretch taxing their grip while the rest of the pax ran a half park loop. Switch/repeato.

*THE THANG*
(2 rounds) Partner up. Both do a full leg blaster (20 squats, 20 lunge, 20 jump lunge, 10 jump squats). When both are finished leave in opposite diections at a moderate pace and do a loop of the entire park (approx 800m). When you meet in the middle 20 hand slap merkins together. Continue loop faster pace opposite directions back to playground trying to beat your partner back. REPEATO

When this was complete we did the McGregor stretch circuit one more time starting with the lunges.

Times up. Mosey to flag.
