THE THANG: A few warm-up items: SSH, Hillbillies, Goofball, Chuck Norris merkins (the exercise of the week!) stretching at the HS entrance.
Head over the patio for an assortment of exercises YHC discovered on YouTube the night before, such as Derkins in 7s, Power-ups and frog crunches. Also some side step-ups and a lap around the small track. After some of that, we headed to the alcove for more Derkin 7s and ab work, then hopped the wall (some of us) and did a short lap by the flagpole before returning for more work in the alcove and hopping the wall.
A couple more items on the way back to COT — including more Chuck Norris merkins — and a jalbreak from the on-the-ground position.
MOLESKINE: There were plenty of jokes around YHC’s use of YouTube for exercise discovery, but they serve… ah, there’s no use in a defensive posture.
Great to see J-Woww modifying as necessary, though YHC does feel bad for any shoulder-related exercises that get called.
Noonan, Deep Dish and Centerfold bring plenty of jokes, but they secretly liked the frog crunches and probably headed home to work on their form.
And Punxsy brings jokes, but he also kills the workout at the same time. He seems well recovered from the recent weeks of sicknesses and always makes Hatchet proud with his hustle and strength.
And the big highlight of the morning gloom was some stranger walking up to us in front of the school like he thought Posse was around and needed to escort us off the campus, but instead, he joined in with us. We found out he’s a corporate chef and had been chatting online with a ‘Matt’ who we thought was Dana, and we almost went the route of ‘Paula Dean’ to continue the chain of female names but decided to name him ‘Crisco’ instead — because that may have been equally offensive. Turns out he was corresponding online with another Matt who more frequently goes by a woman’s name — Chastain — so it still would’ve worked.
Lesson: Be careful when naming your son Matt.
