Back 2 School, Day 2! 🚌 🎒📚

AO: middle-tooth
Q: Toothless
PAX: Pepsi, Young and Restless, Subway, Works for a Guy, Matador, Betty Ford, sooner, DrRupp, Esposa
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: Clear & crispy!

WARMUP:
– 25 x SSH
– 10 x High Knees
– 10 x Butt Kickers
– 10 x Windmills
– 10 x Carrot Pullers
– 10 x Little Baby Arm Circles, then reverse 10
– 10 x Seal Claps

THE THANG: Back 2 School!!! :books::school_satchel:
Start with an Indian run “school bus” around the park loop. Every time the rotation completes the stop sign comes out and the PAX have to give 10 Prisoner Squats. After all, schools are basically prisons.

Back at Startex, PAX worked on their CORE subjects. PAX split into 3 groups, post up at each station with 1 group running around the parking lot loop 2x as a timer. The other groups split up and go to 1 of the first 2 stations, performing an exercise until the runners return. Switch to rotate through stations 3 & 4, then repeat the whole set.

(1) English
– “Apart” vs “a part”
– Hello Dollys, spread those legs “apart”

(2) Math
– Ratios, multiplication
– Captain Thors 1:4 ratio of Big Boy Sit-ups to American Hammers, ascending (e.g. 2:8, 3:12, 4:16, 5:20…)

(3) Science
– Inertia
– J-Lo’s, it takes force to stop movement in a given direction

(4) History
– First public school in the country predates the country’s founding, Boston Latin School founded in 1635
– 1 Clerkin, 6 Supermans, 3 Peter Parkers, 5 Mountain Climbers

Stopping movement and some form lapses were observed by the Q, even perpetrated by the Q. All PAX serve a class detention. Complete 15 burpees to buy in. Then, SSH in silence to get out of detention, otherwise more burpees, repeat til successful.

Dealer’s choice til time!

MOLESKINE: The minds were sharp this fine morning! PAX completed 2 full sets of all stations, i.e. 2 full school days. Impressively, the PAX got out of detention on the very first round of silent Side Straddle Hops! They still paid 5 burpees as a baseline but the result could have been far, far worse.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: So many! See the general channel, near term we’ve got the following, note the prepositions…
– Convergence ON 9/11 at greenmachine
– Convergence FOR 9/11 ON 9/13
– Grow School on 9/20

COT: Prayers were shared, the men left encouraged because they encouraged one another.

As always, it was an honor to lead! See you next week when I have the honor of bringing the java! :coffee:
