Boot camp style workout.
Typical routine: warm-up with Merkins, stretching, side-straddle-hops, etc. Then proceed to the playground equipment and/or field for running mixed with strength training. Finish off with the C.O.P (circle of pain) for merkins, planks, ab work, supermans, etc.
SATURDAYS always followed up with 2nd F (fellowship) at Executive Diner on Sylvania.
Fantasy Island
QIC – Dauber
PAX – Brita, Belding, Hustle, Gap, Socrates, Gollum (Socrates BIL), Glitch,Jimmy Dean, 8 Mile (FNG)
Warm Up – Moseyed around half of the park. Returned to the Quadrilateral for SSH and X-country skiers.
The Fantasy = No Burpees ( Brita would later turd that up later) The Island – A Quadrilateral where The Rounds would consist of rotating between 2 exercises – exercise, move to next corner, switch exercise, move, rinse and repeat until 4 sets of each exercise were completed. FOCUS ON GOOD FORM
Editor’s Note: YTC’s form went to the shithouse about set 3 every time.
1st ROUND- 10 Merkins, 10 Squats w/ weight.
2nd ROUND- 10 Swings, 10 Curls
3rd ROUND- 10 Big Boys, 10 Lunges w/ weight.
4th ROUND – 10 Pointers, 10 Supermans – T
5th ROUND BEAR CRAWL – Jog – We bear crawled the Hervies, and jogged the Maltobahns
6th ROUND – 10 Thrusters / 10 Diamond Merkins – Bedling “When are we going to work our shoulders?”
7th ROUND – PLANK/ Farmer’s Carry
8th ROUND 10 Tricep / 10 Crunchy Frogs.
9th ROUND – 10 Splinter Kicks/ 10 Shoulder Presses
Had a bit of time so we circled up and PAX called out an exercise we would do 5 reps.
Gap picked stumphuggers ( he may have an unhealthy affinity for this exercise – an intervention is pending), Glitch picked Burt Reynolds – which is an Oasis original, Brita had to be the turd in the ointment and call out Burpees, FNG 8 Mile did Mountain Climbers (with a cadence that would shame most PAX), YTC called time so we could fit in CoR, NoR, name my BIL, and know the 6. Gollum who was making only his 2nd appearance told us a great story about Socrates scaring him to the degree he fell and cracked his head open, needing stitches and bleeding all over the Buehler homestead.
We named my BIL “8 Mile” due to his Detroit roots; He is currently an SF officer and shared that he is being deployed to Iraq in a few weeks. Brita gave a stirring shovel flag explanation. Ended with a reflection on friendship by the Beastie Boys’ Adam Horovitz.
Pre Fantasy Island Ruck
PAX: Socrates (Q), Gap, Dauber, and Gollum.
The Thang: A 5k ruck from 530 am to 630. Great second F along the walk and a nice light snowfall accompanied the PAX.
