SMR Training

After traveling last week and missing all F3 sanctioned workouts, YHC was especially excited about my ER Q on Monday.  Then I showed up….it was YHC, Flamer, and Retread.  I thought about just a nice easy workout at this point, slow jog, discussion about Sergio and the Masters, just something to get YHC back into the swing of things.  Then Cuz showed up.  Granted, he was a few minutes late, but he was there.  YHC missed Cuz last week.  There was no mumble chatter at all.  No smart a** comments, no missing headband, no completely untrue stories about how YHC didn’t post all week (twice for the record) after P200.  Nothing.  It was at this point YHC realized I owed it to the few of us who fought off the fartsack, and especially to Cuz who is deep into SMR training, to try my best to deliver a beatdown worth getting out of bed for.  Here is how it went:

Warm-O-Rama

•  SSH- 20
• Alternating Toe Touches- 20

The Thang:

•  Mosey behind the concrete monster to the shared parking lot with the funeral home, stopping towards the bottom of the Frye hill.
• Merkins up the ladder- 1 at bottom of hill, two at top (stop at wall), and so on- to 16
• Plank when finished
• Mosey to hill on 5^th (I think)- the hill at the end of the first stop on the ER lap
  • Stop about half way down the hill for a squat
  • Run up hill to traffic light for two squats
  • Continue to increase by one until 20
  • Plank when done
• Mosey to bottom of Cemetery Hill
  • Start with one imperial storm trooper and run about half way up hill
  • Two storm troopers and back down
  • Stop at 11
• Mosey back to ER for MARY
  • American Hammer- 20
  • RBC- 20
  • Flutter Kick- 20
  • Box Cutter- 8 (had to stop because Flamer pulled a groin)
  • We did some others but as one has seen from the amount of crap YHC has taken from the timing of this backblast, I can’t remember what they were

Announcements/Prayer Requests:

•  Kong was a success- 28 posted

WOD:

•  YHC gave a quiz from Sunday School by reading Isaiah 53 and asking where it was from (Flamer was not allowed to answer because he was there).  The answer from the others was the same as the class gave; “It must be from the New Testament”.  In reality, it was from 700 years before Christ….the point being, when one looks at The Bible there is an incredible amount of evidence to authenticate it.
  • Isaiah 53:3-6  “He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.  Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised…..Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering….But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

Moleskin:

•  HC stands for “hard commit”.  Not maybe I’ll be there.  Not I might show.  It means I’ll be there.
• YHC tried my best to help Cuz get ready for SMR.  Kuddos to all the guys who are doing it.
• Suppository was a HC to post as of Sunday.
• Retread is fast.
• You realize how stupid you look during warm-o-rama standing by the road with only 4 people and quickly rush through it.
• The reason we only went to 16 merkins was YHC called Omaha.  Wow, that was a lot of merkins in a really short time.  The reason we only went to 11 storm troopers was we ran out of time.
• Suppository was not there.
• Jordache was late as usual.  He sent pics from the ER around 8ish.
• For a few minutes Flamer thought he was going to have the AO to himself before YHC and Retread rolled in right at 5:30.
• YHC would like to offer an excuse the late BB but as we all know, they are like a** holes.  Cobains.
• Always a pleasure to be with you men.
