8 marvelous athletes arrived on a seasonable morning to build that lean muscle mass. I was trying to think of a theme for the workout and I thought it is close to Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving is in honor of the Native Americans and Pilgrims, the Pilgrims were explorers and Dora is an explorer. Therefore, it must be Dora Day. COP: The usual: DQs, DMH, HRMs, FMs and ACs. Mosey to side of school. First Dora: 50 – Sit and Press, 100 – Bench Press, 150 – coupon squats, 200 – 2 count flutter kicks. Partner 2 is bear crawling across…

Seven cold warriors showed up for the annual rock concert. In what Fireman Ed called “the most awkward beginning to a workout”, I began with a poor reenactment of the beginning of the “I Wanna Rock” video. Was hoping to see White Deer for the “Slap your fat face” line but used Offshore instead. Thankfully, he did not attack me while I yelled in his face: “What do you want to do with your life?” The setlist: I Wanna Rock (Twisted Sister): warmups SSH, Arm circles, maybe something else Cum on Feel the Noise (Quiet Riot): High Pulls in verse,…

7 men met and they worked out with kettlebells. That’s what we do at the Circus. The theme was 16 for my daughter’s birthday and 20 for my years as a married man. COP: DQs, DMH, Merkins, MCs, add in a little Suzanne Somers since she passed (I did not make them do 76 of them thankfully), LBCs. Mosey for some 1620s. Sit and Press do 2 sets of 8 and 2 sets of 10.
