Jax BBQ (Birthday Bash Q)

Thursday was YHC’s 34th birthday, so we took a chance to celebrate!

THE THANG:

Since YHC was a swimmer growing up, we warmed up with an individual medley of arm circles. All 12 reps IC:

Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Freestyle

SSH x 34 IC

LBC x 82 OYO

 

Mosey to Pavilion for a modified set of 12/29s. 29 reps of each exercise, wait on the 6, then mosey halfway out onto field & back (total about 40 yards). 29 Reps of each exercise

Upper: Merkins, Dips, Irkins

Mid: Big Boy Sit-ups, Flutter Kicks, Hello Dolly

Lower: Squats, Lunges, Monkey-Humpers

 

For the sake of time, YHC cut it short into 9/29’s (which just so happens to be the birthday of my 2.0 “Dino”).

 

Since YHC was born in Louisiana & grew up playing soccer, we had a few friendly rounds of Cajun (crab) Soccer with a giant soccer ball for about 5-10 minutes.

 

Next we had a fun game of Burpee Lazer Tag. YHC brought old bungee rockets from his work stash, and distributed 3 to each player. Simple rules: if you get hit by a bungee rocket you drop & do 5 burpees (this was edited down to 3 burpees as the game came to a close). This was surprisingly exhausting.

 

Finished up with some stretching.

 

NAKED MOLESKIN:

Quote from Viktor Frankl in “Man’s Search for Meaning”:

“A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw his life away. He knows the ‘why’ for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any ‘how’.”

 

2nd F Invitation was offered to birthday celebrations that night at Velocity jump zone & Wicked Barley.

Prayers for guys with injuries or limitations: PUD, Synapse, Bing, LIFO.
