AO: bomber
Q: Vector
PAX: hambone, porcelain, greyalbum, CubCadet, Tim the Toolman, Pep, t-cell, Sherlock, Chunks, Wolfpack, Papa Bear, Crawlspace, @CreamCheese, @Avalanche, @Topps, Waterboy
FNGs: 1 Waterboy

Continuing in the tradition of lessons in music history (previous classes included Disco, New Wave Post Punk, Old School Country, and @CubCadet ‘s favorite, Southern California Death Metal), YHC felt a Bomber Friday was the perfect time to teach a lesson on funk music. The playlist consisted of some of the greatest funk songs, but funky also means stinky. So, it’s time to break a sweat.

CONDITIONS: Perfectly funky

PLAYLIST:
Play That Funky Music – White Cherry
Get Down On It – Kool & the Gang
Funky town – Lipps Inc.
Low Rider – War
Shining Star – EWF
She’s a Bad Mama Jama – Carl Carlton
Flash Light – Parliament
Super Freak – Rick James (dammit)
Got to Give it Up – Marvin Gaye
Word Up – Cameo
Jungle Boogie – Kool & the Gang

WARMUP:
Mosey around baseball field to rec center and circle up.

THE THANG:

#1: Get Down On It: Side Straddle Hops while this funk classic plays. Every time the words “get down” are uttered, PAX do a jump squat. Reminder as we start that it’s a 5 minute song.

#2: Upper Body: 100 reps of incline merkins, dips, and underdogs. Run around rec center after each exercise.

#3: Legs: 100 reps (each leg = 1/2) of squats, iron mikes, and mountain climbers. Run around rec center after each exercise.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Welcome FNG Waterboy, a UF Gator
– Prayers for Yuri and family
– 9 days left for the leanpaxers

Thanks as always for letting me lead you. The mumblechatter dropped off, so I’m hoping folks got funky while we got funky. Appreciate all of you for pushing me.

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
