This Black Ops has been going strong since summer but I’ve only visited a couple times. When Fungi reached out for Qs last month I figured raising my hand would be a good way to lock myself in for a visit. I also decided on my weinke pretty quickly. Coupons at the time were fairly limited so I wanted to plan something without them since I didn’t know how many HIMs would show up. I decided to modify a workout I did while traveling for work in a hotel room this summer in my underwear. Why in my underwear you ask? Well I forgot my gym shoes so the gym or outside was out of the question. Also anyone who has had the pleasure of being next to me in a summertime COT knows I sweat a lot. So to cut down on the wet clothes I just worked out in the old boxer briefs. We all modified today and wore clothes.
Anyway on to the workout. We started with a quick mosey from the parking lot to the firehouse. We got loose by doing the following exercises.
Toy Soldiers
Grass grabbers
Copperhead squats
Michael Phelps
Kendra Newmans
Downward dog and runners stretch
Then we got into the thang–
To countdown to 2020 we started with 20 merkins at one end of the parking lot and then a mosey to the other end for 20 big boys. Then we did 19, 18, all the way down to 1. At 10 instead of a mosey we added a scorpion walk (like a bear crawl but on one leg) after the merkins and Bernie sanders after the big Boys. The reps were getting low but this brought in another level of difficulty. We were running close to time so we went back to Mosesys between sets. This allowed all the PAX to complete the 20 sets. I wasn’t sure how long this was going to take so we had plans to do curls and squats in similar fashion. Given that we were up against the clock the PAX in the front held squat until the six finished instead of grabbing the coupons. Cochran got coupons out for some reason, probably cause when he asked me a question midway through the workout I just said yes instead of processing what he asked. Anyway he put those up then we went back to the flag.
Had some time for some Mary and did the following-
Nolan Ryan’s-15 per side
Gas pumps-15 IC
Pickle pounders-25 IC
Rosalitas -I forget but I could feel it
Held plank-maybe 30 seconds
Oh somehow I almost forgot about halfway through the workout we could hear what sounded like a group of hooligans coming from the direction of the County. Look up and we see Viking and his Viking ship and a lot more HIMs who came to pillage the firehouse. Given the truce we struck this summer they left the women and children alone and went back to the County with the Firehouse somewhat still in tact. Brown water commented on the number of PAX between the two groups (27!). It was a pretty cool site to see but I felt sorry for the house right across the street from us.
We ended with some intentions for the Bus’s sister and Big Birds ACL, for those less fortunate than us especially this time of year and maybe one or two others. Closed by thanking the group for allowing me to lead.
