Baseball & 40s at Bomber

19 PAX made the right decision to take the DRP this morning and share some time in the gloom to get better together at Bomber.

PAX: T-Cell, Princess Aurora, Bicentennial Man, Firefox, Porcelain, Preacher Man, Trapper Keeper, Hi-Viz, Bad Boy. Crawlspace. Right Said. Ride Along, Pumpkin Spice, Shadow, Cunning Linguist (QIC), Lunchlady. Harvey Updyke. Tiny Dancer, Hambone

One-minute warning  at 0529 was followed by a brief disclaimer at 0530 (and after which YHC heard mumblechatter from some PAX about its verbosity), and then a brief mosey along Greenway to open area near the small playground for Warm-a-rama:

SSH x 20

LBAC x 15

rLBAC x 15

WMH x 16

Slow and Low Squat x 20

Count off 1-4 then another Mosey through the neighborhood and re-entry to Bomber near the smaller baseball diamond for Thang 1.

THANG 1: Field of Dreams

4s at Home Plate do 15 Burpees

1s at First Base do AMRAP Squats

2s at Second Base do AMRAP Merkins

3s at Third Base do AMRAP Big Boy Sit-ups

When 4s as a group are done with Burpees, all bases advance via Bear Crawl and perform next move. Wash, rinse, repeat. End once 4s return home.

Mosey to benches near the Community Center for Thang 2.

THANG 2: Forties 

Round 1:

30 Dips

10 Merkins

Followed by full lap around Community Center

Round 2:

25 Dips

15 Merkins

Another lap.

Five full rounds then planks until all have returned.

Circle up for THANG 3.

THANG 3: Circle Burps

YHC began by vocalizing “Down,” and all PAX performed Burpee. Moved clockwise along circle until all PAX have said, “Down” and we have performed as many Burpees as there are PAX.

Mosey back to parking lot area for 4MoM on our sixes:

Freddie Mercury x 15

American Hammers x 15

Boxcutters x 12

Flutter Kicks x 15

LBC x 15

Then, CoT for Count-a-rama, Name-a-rama, Sixth Man (Preacher Man), Announcements, Prayer Requests, and BoM, all followed by a heavily-attended coffeeteria.

MOLESKINE:

  • YHC must admit that he is humbled by the turnout today and equally humbled that he is granted the opportunity to lead this group of HIMs. Every time YHC takes the Q, YHC is positively transformed and the hope is that the PAX feel even the slightest bit of that same transformation.
  • Today’s lesson learned was YHC focused ever-so-slightly on upper body to the detriment of the lower body, but seeing as it’s not a Friendly Friday, can we just consider that a minor flaw?

BULLHORN:

  • Let’s get a few more Qs on the sign-up sheet! Deets on Slack.  YHC is 100% willing to co-Q with anyone who hasn’t taken the Q yet.
  • Libeery on the 18th at 7:30pm at Fat Bottom. Book is Freed to Lead. Google it. It’s the well-written backstory of a men’s workout group that originated in Charlotte, NC. For more details, hit up Bicentennial Man on Slack.
