Introduction
The Asylum crew was greeted (and blinded) by a Bruce Lee wannabe. The inspiration may have been in attire only, but YHC wanted to bring some workout elements from the master.
Warm-O-Rama
After a mosy down to where YHC thought we could get out of the wind that was just not to be, we performed the Warm-O-Rama.
12 SSH, 12 Weed Pickers (apparently we do these too fast), 10 baby arm circles forward, 10 baby arm circles backwards, 10 shoulder pretzels, 12 HillBillies.
Then Swedish Ham, Gucci, and Monkey Samurai showed up and said we weren’t loud enough on our count offs. Lesson learned for the next Q.
The Thang
3 compound routines to focus on different exercises for back, legs and arms were completed. This was one of Bruce Lee’s favorite things to do (so YHC has read) to burn calories and build muscle.
The “F”, go see Strava link on FB.
1. 15 Crab cakes then straight into Bear Crawls for ~25 meters followed by a jog back to the origin of the exercise. Did this 3 times.
2. 15 Alabama Ass Kickers, this was YHCs opportunity to name an exercise better. Going forward, we’ll call these the Bruce Lees. Then a ~200 meter jog. 15 Lunges toward the Big Flag. Once at the Big Flag, 15 squat jumps. Back to Lunges, then back to Bruce Lees. Did this 3 times.
Now the “3”, which didnt work out on the map. Next time.
1. 10 Merkins, followed by a jog over to the fence where 10 Dips were completed, then another jog to complete 20 inverted shoulder taps with feet on the fence (think modified handstand).
This was modified slightly. A total of 30 Dips, 40 inverted shoulder taps and 30 Merkins were performed.
Circle of Trust
YHC, inadvertently skipped one of the most important parts of the Circle-of-Trust where the team of Men asked for prayers, shared announcements.
Rapid Fire was named due to how fast he went through the most important pieces of his life that he wanted to share. The dude knows who he is and what he likes; and YHC likes and admires that.
Naked Man Moleskin
As the holiday season approaches, we tend to get pulled in more directions than usual and in our failed attempts to be everything and everywhere, we usually start to forget to do certain things. Lets all remember that we cannot support our families, communities, and groups we belong to without taking time to make ourselves better. YHC sees the Gloom in the Asylum as an opportunity to sharpen the saw to make ourselves better for later.
Abraham Lincoln said that if he had 8 hours to cut down a tree, then he’d spend 7 hours sharpening the axe. Remember to take care of yourself and sharpen your axe for yourself to make the supporting of those we care about more fulfilling.
Oh yeah, if you ever wear something goofy, at least embrace it and love it. No less than 42 jokes about YHCs attire this morning were heard, and noted.
