Well we had our team meeting for Mortimer last night and we were throwing around some good team names: Fuse had Puddin Britches and Chili Trousers; Kapowski had The Flaming BJ’s (but we thought we might get shot going through Mortimer with that name); then someone said we should just drive through there with a Trump sign and I said how about Make Mortimer Great Again and it stuck! Well enough about our really cool team for Mortimer let’s get to the workout. I was going to post with the Ibex guys when I got a text that I had the Q at Howitzer. Yes, Ibex guys that was me that beeped and flashed my lights at you this morning.
Warmup: Humpys, Windmills, and SSH
Mosey to First Baptist block pile (partner up)
partner 1 does exercise while partner 2 runs to end of parking lot and does 5 star jumps (sorry HBC you’re on your own-just do some exercises and run some)
Exercises were: 25 Block burpees, 50 Goblet squats, 100 Overhead presses, 200 Curls, 250 Bench press
Mosey to parking lot for what HBC called a Flaming Merkin circle (which really peaks some interest). So it starts with everyone in a group plank with Flamer on top….Just kidding, that would be about like Flamer in the showers with all those men after the mud run…It’s like shooting fish in a barrel. No, here’s hat it really was: Circle up, everyone in plank position; first guy does 10 merkins while everyone is planking and the merkins go around the circle (everyone doing 10 merkins). We did 4 rounds of this (regular merkins, Hand release, Diamond, and Wide arm) which was very challenging after all the block work we did. Some people’s form was much better than others.
Mosey back to the sails for Ab work: LBC, RBC, Dying CR, Peter Parker’s, Pretzels, and one other exercise I can’t remember.
WOD: Temptation! We’ve been studying the Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis in our SS class and the general theme throughout the book is Temptation. The devil is at work and constantly trying to tempt us. Make sure you are aware when you are being tempted and make sure you have a couple of guys in your life you can text or talk to when these times come up. Stand firm in your faith and ask for help from others.
Flamer out!
