THE THANG:

Swole 30 – In honor of LeanPax commencing, YHC thought we’d keep a strict WHOLE 30 diet. 30 reps of the following exercises, each exercise separated by a lap around the track.

Werkins
Hollow body rocks
Overhead Squats
Lunges
Eight Count Body-Builders

Various Ab work to wait for six

Slam Ball Lines – PAX form two lines each with a slam ball, and line up behind goal line. PAX 1 performs explosive slam ball chest pass toward other end zone and runs to back. Cycle through line all the way to other end. RnR return trip. Switch to reverse slam ball toss for round 2.

Pull-up Set – Quick mosey to find some pulling space on the jungle gym and swing set. PAX perform pull-ups to failure, followed by rest of seconds equal to reps. RnR until you can only get one.

LeanPax Tabata – Mosey back to middle of field for LEANPax Ab Tabata. 20” of work followed by 10” of rest. 8’ total=4 rounds of each exercise

Leg Raises
Elbows to knees (one side only each round)
Ab Thrusters
Newton’s Cradle

Soundtrack to this section was Don McLean’s 8-ish minute hit “American Pie” as the LeanPax-ers have in fact said bye-bye to processed desserts among other things.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Prayers for @tackle_box nephew and for my mom.

Many of us have set some sort of goals this year. We are surrounded by guys who want to help us achieve those goals, so be accountable to someone and be an encouragement. Grateful to lead y’all once again.

Name that Tune (90 & early 00’s Rock)

AO: iiipillars
Q: Chunks
PAX: Grape, Hair Band, Pep, Black Lung, Focker, t-cell, Tackle Box, princessaurora, Go Fish, Harbaugh, Haggis, Formica, Swiffer
FNGs: None
COUNT: 14
CONDITIONS:
Brisk, but nice

WARMUP:
2 mile Pre Party run @hairband @grape @harbaugh @blacklung and YHC

THE THANG:
Left the friendly confines for the parking garages of Burton Hills Office Park. Quickly crossed Hillsboro road and made our way to the second hill between two of the parking structures. While moseying, Yacht Rock was the playlist
Before we started playing Name that Tune, we did 5 mins of Mary Dealers Choice, but must be 20 reps. Flutter kicks, Happy Crunchy Frogs, Box Cutters, Freddie Mercs (while a Queen song played) and LBCs

Name That Tune 90 & Early 00s rock Edition
PAX was given 20 seconds to name that song and artist, but once you answered correctly you could not answer again until all the rest of the PAX had answered. Incorrect answers resulted in 5 8-Count body builders at the bottom and top of the hill. If a PAX named the song and artist correctly, they got to pick the exercise to do at the bottom and top of hill. YHC still chose the mode of transportation up the hill. Next time per feedback of the group, I will have more variety. Everyone loved the Lunge walk up the hill. Maybe we just do sprints, who knows.
PAX got the majority of the songs right and hopefully fun was had by all.
Moseyed back to the Startex with a little sprint/race to the finish. We found PA back at the startex, and was given some brotherly feedback. 😉 Thanks for the coffee PA.
Finished with Name that Tune for two songs, so PA could be a part.

Chunks

COT: Reminder of 2 things
-Holidays are number one time for addiction relapse, but also when lots of us go back into unhealthy living whether that be physically, emotionally, mentally. So be gracious with your family, remain disciplined, and be responsible for yourself and how you respond.
-The first holiday after a loss is incredibly weird and full of so many emotions. Don’t forget about those who lost loved ones this year, especially those at Covenant. Reach out to someone and just let them know their loss and pain isn’t forgotten.
