AO: bomber
Q: Vector
PAX: Chunks, CubCadet, DintyMoore, Firefox, Papa Bear, Pep, Sherlock, Strutter, Tim the Toolman
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
To celebrate a slightly belated 8th Anniversary for YHC (I was EH’d by Ebola in Nov 2017 and had a hambone Q’d beatdown to introduce me to this non-cult cult), I decided to celebrate the musical tradition of sampling by sampling from my first Q. Vector from 8 years ago didn’t give me much to work with, but, like most sampled tunes, the end result is often worse than the original . . .

CONDITIONS: Slightly chilly but warm in our hearts

PLAYLIST: Legendary songs that sampled other works along with the originals

U Can’t Touch This – MC Hammer (which samples . . .)
Super Freak – Rick James
Ice Ice Baby – Vanilla Ice (which samples . . . )
Under Pressure – Queen and David Bowie
S.O.S. – Rhianna (which samples . . .)
Tainted Love – Soft Cell
Don’t Stop the Music – Rhianna (which samples . . . )
Wanna be Starting Somethin’ – Michael Jackson
Anxiety – Doechii (which samples . . . )
Somebody That I Used to Know – Gotye

WARMUP:
Taken from my first Q in March 2018:
GM x 12, WMH x 12, IW x 12, Squats x 12, LBAC x 12, RLBAC x 12

THE THANG:
The Original Vector Q Workout:
[Side note – 1) not sure how you do “reps” of bear crawls, 2) bear crawls AND burpeees? Jeez 2018 me, not cool.]
1) Bear crawl x 12
2) Dips on benches x 12
3) Pull-ups x 12
4) Burpees x 12

The Sample: Taking the original and making it better? worse? indifferent?
DORA with partner
Burpees x 100
Pull-ups x 200
Dips x 300
Run around Rec Center with a Bear Crawl on the last leg

Mary:
Did the 2018 Mary of Elbows to Knees L and R side x 12 each and followed by sampling to make better with “real” bicycles x 12 each side.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Grow School 12/6 (tomorrow)
2. Holiday Party Hair Band house 12/12 6p
3. Night Moves/After Hours 12/18

COT:
Words of gratitude, praises, prayers. Many prayers and gratitude for Pep’s new computer (like there was A LOT of discussion about this). Appreciated the arrival of HRS Chunks-N-Stuff and that they did not leave once they heard 200 pull-ups and 100 burpees on the docket! Thankful for all the HIM who came out and continue to push me to be harder, better, faster, stronger (see the Kanye sample I threw in there?). SYITG, Vec
