Hair Nation and the Super bowl

2

We had a lucky seven show up for an evening beatdown and here is what went down:

COP

We run a lap around the front of of school parking lot then mosey to the front covered area. We start with 20 SSH, 15 Russian Soldiers, 10 DQ’s, 10 Imperial Walkers, 10 Helicopters, 20 American Hammers, 10 reverse Scorpions, 10 Scorpions and 20 merkins.

THANG

YHC had PAX Tabata tonight where each member of the Pax pick an exercise that we perform: the Tabata setting for tonight was 8 sets of 20 seconds of exercise and 10 seconds rest which totals 4 minutes. so here is the list: We set up with chest, abs then legs then start over to ensure a full body work out.

Dial up – Hand release merkins we perform 10 then plank for the remaining time left in the 20 seconds. This was ok the first 6 sets the last 2 were brutal getting even 6-8 quality HRM’s was tough!

Upchuck – reverse crunches

Johnsonville- Jump Squats

Corned Beef – Carolina Dry Docks

Chum Bucket – Box Cutters (We performed 10 and then hold legs 6 inches for remaining time to 20 seconds)

Animal – Curtsey Lunge

Flea – Arm Circles (we did reverso for the even sets to balance this out)

Dial up – Flutter kick thank you to upchuck for Form here with straight legs and pointed toes…made for some tough reps.

We wrapped up for 2 minutes for stretching.

Mary

We stretched for 2 minutes

COT

Namerama and Numberama. Johnsonville was the 6th man so he told us about what F3 means to him, how he was named and a little bit about his family. Flea took us out in prayer.

Moleskin

Tabata time is great for mumble chatter and tonight did not disappoint, riding in from work to the AO YHC was listening to Hair Nation(the young crowd was not familiar and Upchuck had fun with YHC being a Hair Band fan!!) and learned some fun facts about half time show performers. First fact is that they are not paid to perform, and most performers use the show as a publicity platform. Bon Jovi has been asked to perform in the past and they have declined. The last rock band to perform was the WHO in the 2010 superbowl some questioned Tom Petty and he played the year before…so yeah he is a rock star. The headliner artist to follow were: Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Cold Play, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, and finally this year The Weeknd. Other notes is that the ‘live’ music is lip synced and a recording for the super bowl production. We had a great time catching up, discussing the Breaking bread and look for sign ups as we need to fill in some spots through March!

It is already February and time seems to fly as you get older. Upchuck and YHC were talking about our kids and how time seems very long in the younger years…especially this year of COVID – 19. Take some time to talk with your kids as this is heavy on them.

It was an honor to lead gents and I look forward to seeing you again in the gloom. Cheers…CB

  1. Good Q on a chilly, snowy evening. Perfect time for a tabata.

    Hats off to Dial Up on the HRM call. 80 is no joke. There were some form failures towards the end.

    It’s awesome irony when two balding dudes around 50 years old know what Hair Bands are but two 15-16 year old musicians with actual studio recordings do not. I feel like the first member of the Greatest Generation to meet a kid who had not heard of WWII.

  2. Proof millennials are younger than me. I listen to Hair Nation everyday. Everyone knows the best music came from the 80s until Nirvana ruined everything.
