Bat Crazy for Captain Thor...

AO = Firepit

Shoota on the Q

PAX = Torch, WaterBoy, Gig'em, Hackface, Zoolander, Shocker, BloodClot, Gobbler, Braddock, Lump, Macaroni.

PRE PARTY

As I rolled up I saw some PAX doing something. Rumor is that it was pretty hard, but BloodClot wasn't sweating and Gobbler was talking trash so I knew that the morning was going to be a battle. A battle to see if the Q could talk over the MC Tag Team duo of the 20th century.

Warm-o-rama

20 SSH in cadence to loosen the PAX up.

Bat Wings. Wait, what? Bat Wings? The MC began...at this point I was reminded that my tights were actually capri pants, downside of being 6'3", something BloodClot can't associate with.

Bat Wings continue (20 Forward Arm Circles, Hold, 20 Backwards Arm Circles, Hold, 20 Seal Claps, Hold, 20 Overhead Presses) Bat Wings Done. MC starting to ramp up, I know that if I want to survive this Q with Gobbler and BC in rare form I need to attack early and shut it down. Call an audible and go straight to the music fest. I flip on the Beats by Dr Dre speaker and blare some Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Proud Mary". Proud Mary's begin. LBC's until you hear "rolling" then transition to Gas pumps, back to LBC's until "rolling" then gas pumps....you get the point. 3.5 minutes later as CCR wraps up, the MC has slowed as the PAX's abs start to burn.

The Thang

Quick Mosey through the gloom and around firepit to the hill. The Q's assault on shutting down MC would continue here, at the bottom of the hill. Burpee Apocalypse with a twist. 10 burpees...backwards run up hill...10 squats...run back down hill. 9 burpees...backwards run up hill...9 squats...run back down hill...all the way down to 1. MC has all but stopped at this point, mission accomplished.

Mosey over to big parking lot and grab a line. Modified mucho chesto;

-Broad jump down length of line, 10 merkins, broad jump back.

-bear crawl down, 10 diamond merkins, crawl bear back.

-crab walk down, 10 werkins, crab walk back.

-lunges down, 10 staggered left, lung back.

-crawl bear down, 10 staggered right, walk crab back.

Partner up...one PAX runs length of parking lot while other PAX does workout, then rotate. 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, 200 lunges completed as a team.

Mosey back for Mary...instead of our usual Mary exercises, Q introduced the group to a version of Captain Thor! Done in a 1:4 ratio of situps and American hammers...1 situp, 4 AH's. Group gets to 6 situps, 24 AH's and seem to be trailing off. Luckily, it was time for count-o-rama.

Spotlight

Braddock tells us about himself, his family and work life and getting EH'd by Probe. He's in a rush, has to get daughter somewhere so he wraps it up quickly. Great having you out Braddock, you make us all better.

Prayers

Lump gives us a great update about his son, Finn. Let's keep them all in our prayers as Finn is on the cusp of being included in a pretty phenomenal specialist program. Keep leading Lump, you're a tremendous human being and we're all privileged to be around you. Prayers from all of us my friend!

Post Party

There was one...that's all I know. Your humble comms manager was over doing his best Quentin Tarantino impression with Nantan Gig'em. Next Wednesday we start our Franktown Leadership Labs. Here's a video from Gig'em talking about it and hoping that you guys can commit to impacting the next generation of youth in our community, https://twitter.com/F3FranklinTN/status/1091327477631340544. Our Q calendar has 4-6 spots listed each week, but we would love to have more. That was more of a minimum request, so sign up here, https://t.co/PSM4gzZldy and join us! Remember, this is the year we stretch beyond our comfort zones and this is a great way to start that process. Sign up guys, we need you!

Moleskin

John Wooden once said, "The most powerful leadership tool you have is your own personal example". Watching how all of you conduct yourselves in the gloom and in life makes me a better person as I just try to keep up with you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate being around each of you. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
