Return to Startex for a brief round of Mary & Broga.

MOLESKINE:
It was an honor to impromptQ! TBH maybe even better than being scheduled since there was no chance to spend too much time planning, which is good for me. The PAX were generally mumbly in a way that effectively made up for the lack of a speaker. Good chatter and effort by all.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack!

COT:
Prayers for Pep’s job. Also, from YHC, I shared that it can be easy to make our problems the problems of those around us with our attitude. We can be sharp, short, or hurtful based on what we’re going through. That’s only human, but the reminder and encouragement is that we’re not promised any number of days with our people, and we should take each opportunity we’re given to appreciate what our people mean to us. Problems come and go, but the people in our lives will last longer and mean much more in the end. Think I said it better in person but that’s the gist.

As always, it was an honor to lead! Glad folks enjoyed the coffee – it was another FIL roast, which is always one of a kind! (Ethiopia, natural processed, Guji region, medium-light roast :coffee:)

SYITG next time!

2025 is done. 2026 is fresh and new. Leanpax starts today. No better time to celebrate the turn of the calendar. New year, new starts. Let’s hit it HIM.

[Note: as per new WEIGHTSteros AOQ edict, I had to run a workout that used coupons. So use them we did.]

CONDITIONS: Crisp and new.

PLAYLIST:
[Despite accusations that this was created by ChatGPT – Pep how dare you, sir – and that it consisted of songs from CDs that were on the floor of my 1988 Pontiac Sunbird, songs from a diversity of decades motivated the PAX to start anew.]

– New Year’s Day – U2
– I Will Buy You a New Life – Everclear
– New Sensation – INXS
– Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag – James Brown
– Start Me Up – Rolling Stones
– I Want a New Drug – Huey Lewis and the News
– New World Man – Rush
– Begin the Begin – R.E.M.
– Someone New – Hozier
– Brand New – Ben Rector
– New – No Doubt

WARMUP:
SSH x 26, LBAC, Michael Phelps, Sea claps, RLBAC. Then some mild cardio of high knees, butt kickers, sprints. Then grab your coupon and away we go.

THE THANG:
20 reps each of coupon work:
– Coupon squats
– Coupon kettlebell swings
– Coupon presses
– Coupon rows
– Coupon curls
– Coupon overhead presses

Mosey to sign via lunges, then broad jumps.
Rinse and repeat x 4 (?5).
Break to run some sprints to make sure we don’t fall into the Chunks rule (with some age adjusted distances).

One last coupon work – pull throughs x 20

MARY of flutter kicks, prom dates, Freddie Mercuries, Hello Dollys, and low planks.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Leanpax starts today! Not too late to join, even if you ate a tub of icing this morning for breakfast.

COT:
– Prayers for work, Grape’s father, CubCadet safe return from PR after flights delayed in the Caribbean, and general cooling of emotions after this weekend’s global events.
– Always great to have Grape back at Westeros . . . I mean, WEIGHTSteros (sorry Michelin Man). Some classic Gilbertisms today including “The only thing new about Huey Lewis is the news” and “20 prom dates? That’s 20 more than I had in high school.”

Honor to lead you HIM – great start to the year. Stay at it.
SYITG, Vec
