Back Attack

AO: atlantis
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: porcelain, CubCadet, Subway, Oatmeal, SalPal
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: COMFY

WARMUP: SSH x20

THE THANG: Attacking the back with each half of the remedy to back pain- stretching and strengthening!

Started with some static stretching, good mornings, and shoulder stretches. Flowed into a quick yoga routine from sun pose into warrior 1 & 2, triangle pose, back up and down into the other side. Then downward dog into cobra, back to downward dog, into runners lunges, with a twist on each side.

Mosey over to the swings to elucidate how much we work our chest compared to our backs. 4 sets of 10 bodyweight rows on the swings, paired with 10 pushups. Safe to say the pushups were quite a bit easier.

Lunge back to startx because glute and hamstring strength is the foundation of a strong lower back! Then 3 sets of 45 second tubota style exercises mixing back and lower body;
– Dumbbell flys
– Alabama Prom Dates
– Cinderblock deadlift
– Squats
– Exercise band extensions
– Clamshells

Finished out with a round of Mary because core strength is also critical for back support.

MOLESKINE: Oatmeal is in 3 cults currently applying for his 4th. Subway thinks Juvenile’s name is Jeremy

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brewsday next Tuesday and YHC will be in attendance! Second drink is on moneyshot

COT: Prayers for kids getting out of school and a family dealing with a miscarriage.

PLAYLIST: very subpar performance from the gallery trying to guess song title and artist of songs with “Back” in the name. I think we hit on 5/13 and burpees ensued for each wrong answer.

Pickleball

AO: atlantis
Q: Subway
PAX: Toothless, Oatmeal, Puzzlah, SalPal
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
CONDITIONS: beautiful and gravely

WARMUP: stretching

Big Freedia, Small % of Completed Passes

AO: middle-tooth
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: Cocktail, TheShield, sooner, Oatmeal, Matador, Toothless, Young and Restless, Focker, bluemule, Esposa, Betty Ford, DrRupp, Steve Austin, Joe Dickey
FNGs: None
COUNT: 15
CONDITIONS: Dewy and Cool

WARMUP: Quick mosey to the fields, active warmup, stretching OYO while delivering instructions for the thang

THE THANG: DORA and Ultimate Frisbee! Set to the rhythmic stylings of New Orleans bounce tunes (obviously a fan favorite of the PAX)

Paired off for a DORA buy-in proceeding some all-offense ultimate!

50x Supermans
100x Burpees
150x Squats
200x Mountain Climbers

Once completed, we split into teams for a half field offense-focused frisbee scrimmage. Each possession ends in either a point for the offense (scoring a goal) or a point for the defense (a turnover). At the end of the possession, go back to the start and switch who’s on offense. Loser of the point performed 5 merkins.

After some lackluster attempts at offense, we instituted a game-wide 10 burpee penalty for each subsequent possession that did not end in a goal. The result was 4 straight possessions that did not end in a goal.

Moral of the story: Middle Tooth plays STIFLING defense (and our completion % more than 10 yards downfield was worse than Jayson Tatum’s 3 point % last night).

MOLESKINE: Welcome to three PAX downrange, come back around next time you’re in town!

Also great to see a return of TheShield!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brewsday today, first beers on moneyshot! Yours truly will be in attendance, see y’all there!

COT: Prayers for the dearly departed

MOLESKIN – It was a privilege to join the esteemed men of Atlantis. It has been a long time since there and a quality group it is. Pole Dancer is running a good operation indeed, but there was some chatter about needing to upgrade the coffee game. I did bring a premium coffee experience and ma available for consultation. Toothless and Betty Ford have taught me everything I know.
