QIC: Sunshine
Man, what a turnout! We split into two even groups of 14 and started at the Community Matters Cafe parking lot to encourage social distancing. Big thanks to Fletch for taking the co-Q and running with it. I had tunes, but because Rev wasn't there I wasn't able to pull from his dainty yacht-rock playlist. Everyone knows Daryl Hall wrote Rich Girl about John Oates. Not that there's anything wrong with that. So we had a mix of classic rock and angsty-grunge-Foo Fighters-type music.
The Thang:
COP: Combined all 28 at the Community Matters Cafe parking lot for the usual: SSH, IW, 'Mericans, Mountain Climbers, some stretching, etc. Then we split off. Fletch took his group to the Cedar Hill lot and lifted rocks and who knows what else, while I took my group down W 1st St to that wall on McNinch.
From here I can only speak to what my group did and it went as follows:
We did a series of exercises on the wall at McNinch St including people's chair, arm presses, Muhammad Ali's, donkey kicks, bear crawls and lunges to the other side of the street and back, Mike Tysons. In case anyone couldn't tell, I was completely making it up and had absolutely zero rhyme or reason to the order of said exercises.
Then we moseyed down to the grass area at the end of W 1st St where we picked up rocks and did two rounds of curls, overhead presses, tricep extensions, and copperhead goblet squats.
Karaoke and backwards run to the bridge (bear crawled the bridge) that takes us to that park that I don't know the name of where the benches are, where we met up with Fletch's group and partnered up. Partner 1 ran up the stairs and around the playground area while Partner 2 did an exercise at the benches. Alternate until 100 reps of each of the following workouts were complete.
Dips
Incline 'Mericans
Crunches
Squats
Then we re-split into two groups. Fletch took his group back up the W 1st St route to the Community Matters Cafe while I took my group through the park and around the back way to the Cafe parking lot for COT, you know, for social distancing sake and whatnot. Big thanks to Deer Tick for dropping back to the six so I could catch up to organize COT.
NMM: That workout was pretty hard for an MIP workout. But so is life. And we get through it with help from our faith and our brothers. Quick, but fantastic, testimony from Dagger at the end of COT as a product of the Rebound program. I know the guys in the program are getting something out of this workout, but selfishly I also feel really good when I'm able to lead guys in a direction that promotes a better option. Please continue to encourage guys from other AOs to show up at the MIP workout every Saturday at 9:00 AM.
