Oh, oh, it’s MAGIC

AO: titan
Q: Vector
PAX: Black Lung, Chunks, Detective Pikachu, DintyMoore, Firefox, Freakonomics, Good Morning America, greyalbum, hambone, Natural Ice, Pep, preacherman, Right Said, Salpal, Spinal Tap, Tim the Toolman, 15-Love
FNGs: 1 15-Love
COUNT: 18
As is often the case with a Vector Q, the workout planning involves weeks of theme playlist curating and then a frantic 24 hours of “crap, how do I create a workout to match my super cool playlist?” So, in that spirit:

While many may try to use instant supplements or crazy muscle building ideas to get swole, you can’t rely on magic to get fit. So in honor of Harry Houdini, born 150 years ago in 1874, I present a different kind of magic to get y’all in shape.

CONDITIONS: Damp yet perfect

WARMUP: Mosey around the parking lot to the far side of the Parthenon. Willy Mayes Hayes x 10, LBAC x 10, Seal claps x 10, Overhead Press x 10, Reverse LBAC x 10, and Good Mornings x 10 OHO

THE THANG:
MAGIC #1 – 150 reps of each exercise and a run around the Parthenon between each:
M – Merkins
A – Alabama Prom Dates
G – Gorilla Humpers (which I had to example multiple times . . . hmm)
I – Iron Mikes
C – Carolina Dry Docks
(Fair amount of mumbling that each leg should not count only 1/2 on these exercises . . . I did not waiver).

MAGIC #2: 150 reps but no running in between due to time
M: Mountain Climbers
A: Ass Kickers
G: Great Form Squats
I: Incline Merkins
C: Crunches (Little Baby)

Ended at time – welcomed FNG 15-Love a recently married tennis fan EH’d by Detective Pikachu.

PRAYERS: To Grey Album on impending adoption and associated stress, friend Yuri and family facing pancreatic cancer, and others I forgot (apologies!)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hunger Games this weekend, Hike/Ruck with 2.0s to give M’s a break – see Slack for deets.

Honored to lead and that you all continue to tolerate my Q-uirkiness (see what I did there?) in leading . . . SYITG

The Sequence

AO: bomber
Q: Firefox
PAX: DintyMoore, Pep, Good Morning America, Crawlspace
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
CONDITIONS: Slippery

WARMUP:
– Drive up to the clubhouse
– Carefully navigate walkways to dry land
– 20 SSH

THE THANG:
The dice returned after a long sabbatical. 1 red die to randomly select a leg exercise, 1 blue die to randomly select a core exercise, followed by The Sequence. Rinse and Repeat.

Red Die exercise options: 20x Jump Squats, 20x Star Jumps, 20x/side Bulgarian Split Squats, 20x/side Imperial Reverse Lunges, 20x Squats, 20x/side Iron Mikes

Blue Die exercise options: 30x/side Freddie Mercuries, 20x Boxcutters, 20x Windshield Wipers, 20x/side Ukrainian Hammers, 20x WWIs, 20x V Ups

We went 5 rounds in which each PAX got to roll the dice, at which point, barely able to feel our arms, we swapped out The Sequence component for a simple 20x Merkins. 5 more rounds completed. Apologies to @DintyMoore who did not get a second turn to roll the dice so that we could select the 2 exercises that hadn’t been done.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– The Hunger Games! Check the 2ndf channel.

COT:
– Safety for all; support for those recovering from or under testing for medical conditions/procedures; fortitude, support, and grace for those at home with kids; encouragement for those with big work projects looming over them.

It was a pleasure and honor to lead y’all this morning!

New Year Revolution 2024

AO: bomber
Q: Puzzlah
PAX: DintyMoore, Black Lung, Right Said, Tim the Toolman, Vector, Puzzlah
FNGs: None
COUNT: 16
CONDITIONS: icy cool

WARMUP: mosey let’s call it 1012 meters

Move the body a bit. Hit the shoulders and calves and hips.

THE THANG:
Kicked off 2024 with a 2024 inspiration

Do 20 of each movement, quick mosey down the hill, sprint up the hill, 24 of each movement, then repeat quick mosey and sprint.

20–24

Merkins
(Jump?) Lunges
Carolina Dry Docks
Skaters/curtsy lunge
Plank shoulder taps

Recover and mosey another let’s call it 1012 m to our finisher. That’s more or less 2024 m round trip.

We finished off with the 20 m (actually 20.24 m) beep test  📟📟📟 of V02 max capacity. Two lines of cones separated by 20(.24) m. Man starts running on the beep, then aims to reach the cone before the next beep. And beep. And beep. And beep. Every minute or so, the time between beeps decreases. See info here: www.beeptestguide.com/table.htm

Quick aside: The test is hard. It was introduced to me by my old men’s league rugby coach, a wild, brilliant, ferocious South African who told us that his coach growing up would back an ambulance up to the pitch and make them run 20 m back and forth in 100 degree heat until that truck was filled with the bodies of the men who were able to drag themselves of the field. By comparison, this was pleasant. Shout out to my old coach Eugene wherever you are in the world.

Back to today, congrats to all the men who pushed their limit and a special shout out to the few who reached the 8th round. Hope to try again post #leanpax to see how we’ve pushed ourselves. Thanks for your support as a first time Q today.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Game night January 27.

Prayers

Thank you all for the opportunity to lead!
