Pinky and the Brain – world domination in 30 mins or less.

I was going to call this back blast “the fog of war” because that sounds better than “a crappy plan that looked good on paper“.  Luckily, OG Pasqually posted something that I thought was even better, so I stole it.

Since the group was made up of all F3 Vets, YHC gave an abbreviated opening and went right into the rolling WARMARAMA.

• R over L, L over R
• Down Dog/Pedal Pushers/Cobra
• Runners Stretch

The plan, as constructed, was for each Pax to start at a separate station.  There were six on the way out and six more on the way back.  20 reps of the exercise at each stop.  We moseyed along the sidewalk during warmarama stopping at every telephone pole to point out the signs YHC had prepared and explain the exercises so there would be, ehem,  no confusion. The exercises were as follows:

• Stop 1: Battle Ropes Big “O”
• Stop 2: Kettle Bell Tricep Extension
• Stop 3: Bands Shoulder Press
• Stop 4: Kettle Bell Swing
• Stop 5: Bands Seated Rows
• Stop 6: Kettle Bell Upright Row
• Mosey to the far end of the sidewalk and back
• Stop 7: Monkey Humpers
• Stop 8: Bands Curls
• Stop 9: LBC’s
• Stop 10: Battle Ropes Alternating Swings
• Stop 11: American Hammer with Kettle Bell
• Stop 12: Bands Lateral Raises
• Run to the end of the sidewalk, turn around, repeato.

Pasqually and Griswold pretended that they were listening to YHC’s instructions and then proceeded to do exactly what they wanted without regard for those instructions, the signs YHC posted, the other PAX or any other generally accepted principles of athletic etiquette.  The good news is that, according to the two of them, in true “Pinky and the Brain” fashion, they established a plan for world domination in less than 30 minutes so I guess it was all worth it in the end.

The PAX were kind enough to help YHC by grabbing all the equipment on the way back in and we circled up on the fire ant mounds for MARY:

• X Files IC x 10 (YHC)
• Freddie Mercs IC x 20 (Cooter)
• Slow Peter Parkers IC x 10 (Gris)
• Dying Cockroaches IC x 25 (Pasqually)
• Box Cutters IC x 20 (Kiwi)
• LBCs IC to a hard stop (YHC)

Announcements: Purple Rain on the FOD tomorrow. Prayer Requests for Jitters and Brockovich. Kiwi took us out with a speedy but thoughtful prayer.

Moleskin:  I learn something every time I Q and try to take away the lesson and get a little better for next time.  Thanks to the 4 guys who posted today for showing up, for the kind words and for helping me to laugh my way through it all.  It was a pleasure and an honor as always gents.
