YHC was fired up for Gridiron. School is out; sports are done. That means my 2.0 was ready to join, and he had a huge smile on his face. I cannot think of a better way to start Fathers’ Day weekend. Here is how it went down.
- Warm-up
- 25 SSH
- 20 Russian soldiers
- 10 merkins
- 20 DQ
- Burpee march
- 15 burpees down the parking lot followed by:
- 10 double count LBC
- 25 double count APD
- 20 single count WWII sit-ups
- Repeat for a total of 5 cycles
- 15 burpees down the parking lot followed by:
- Mosey over to the Pavilion…25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (right leg), 25 dips, 25 one leg step-ups (left leg), 25 dips and for mountain climbers for those that waited for the rest of the PAX to finish
- Mosey to the track for 10 minutes of intervals – 20 sec sprint (which proved challenging for some, including YHC) followed by 40 second mosey
- Mosey to the front of the school for triple check – bear crawl, leg lifts and wall sit
- Close out with ring of fire (10 merkins)
- Mosey back to the parking lot for COT
- COT – YHC took us, giving thanks for our able bodies and some great fellowship
Today was an Attila special, a sampling of muscle groups, with the hope that men were pushed and strengthened.
It was odd to have 3 2.0’s at Gridiron, and none of them were sired by Johnsonville. White Deer brought Hoops and his buddy FNG Cletus. Hoops remarked that he is more of Circus Maximus fella about 1/2 way through his first bootcamp-style workout, but he was also quick to throw some one-liners at his father. With that, you are always welcome to join us.
I was grateful to have my eldest 2.0, Mariner, present. With Earthworm MIA (something about a wedding and needing his beauty sleep), ground & pound got trashed. Mariner is fleet of foot, and it was fun to provide him an opportunity to excel amongst the Gridiron PAX.
As always, Chum Bucket was a quiet, but strong warrior. Johnsonville was not far behind, but perhaps not as quiet. Both elevate the rest of us, and I am grateful for their consistency at Gridiron.
APB continues for Nightcrawler. YHC might smuggle a duck from the Wellsley pond over to Gridiron to lure our resident Elmer Fudd back.
Enjoy a sports-free weekend, and Happy Fathers’ Day to all those in the PAX being celebrated. Here is hoping your 2.0’s are not as scarred as White Deer’s.
