World cup is upon us and the Americans are doing great with yet another victory yesterday. For some odd reason I can not get the games on standard FOX so I am having to watch them all on Telemundo.. I need Pigskin to come over and translate for me.. but what I do know is how excited they get when there is a GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!. with the Argentina and Brazil games , those commentators , we’re on a Tater level high , with all of those goals.
YHC appreciate all the pax showing update to help.me say goodbye to the 40s and prepare for the 50s. In what is becoming a Gridiron tradition for all of us Boneyard Expendables.. we started the Birthday Q with a shot of the Q’s choice.. today was Angel’s Envy Kentucky Bourbon. 7am.. time to mosey..
As mentioned.. it’s World Cup season so we headed to the nicest pitch in all of the Westend… no gravel asphalt for YHC.
Time to get to work. As Handshake said… we are going to Rawdog it. 1st exercise of the CoP.. Da Merkin. No helicopter.. no SSH.. no Arm circles.. and damn sure no scorpion kicks.. continue with warm up.. time for Sally Up/Down using squats as the exercise.. that’s a long damn song.
Next up is 4 Corners.. or what ever you want to call it. 1st round chest exercises 10 each…2nd round Abs, 20 each..3rd round Legs 30 each.. Start at center 5 SSH. run to a corner. Do exercise run back to center. 5 SSH.. go to next corner. For chest we had: standard Merkin, Wide, Diamond, Carolina Dry Dock. Abs we had: WW2, LBCs, American Hammer, Heels to heaven. For legs we had Bomb Squats, Jump Squats, lunges, Sumo Squats.
Circle up.. time for more music: Roxanne. Every time Roxanne is said you do an Irish sit up.. I think this is a made up Tater exercise but we go with it.. it’s a WW2 with and American Hammer at the top of the setup.
We Kill some time with a round of 11s. From the touch line to the midfield using Merkins and WW2s..
Time for last song on the Playlist…Thunderstruck. this sounded better in my head than in reality.. Plank Position for the entire song and when you hear Thunderstruck you do one Merkin.. we all modified at some point but stayed with it.
Time to mosey.. over to the Blue children play area.. another soft mat area.. still no exercises on asphalt or dirt. Lol.
10 minutes of Mary. Called every ab exercise i could think of.. messed the count a few times laughing at the expressions Polly was making.
Finish with a round of more Merkins.
count us off.. 18 HIMs.
Thank you Mr Roger for taking the pax out while I placed myself on the IR for a few mins..
