The Thang
Workstation 1) Merkin Flowers by Moby – while “Flowers” by Moby (made famous by Gone in 60 Seconds) played, anytime they sang “green sally up” you go up on your merkin and hold then when they sing “green sally down” go down on your merkin and hold your chest off the ground. Played through to the end of the song. Amounts to thirty pause reps in 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

Squat Flowers by Moby – same rules as above except with squats. So, we spent the first part of the morning in the low squat and low merkin holds.

On this Day:
On this day (June 4th) in 1984, Bruce Springsteen released his album Born in the U.S.A. – therefore our background noise was the album, Born in the U.S.A.

Workstation 2) 11’s – Squats and WWI’s – started with 10 squats and 1 WWI on opposite ends of the parking lot.

Workstation 3)
-Plank Circuit (30 seconds each way)
-Reverse pyramid Merkin 10/9/8/6/4/2
-Moseyed over to the picnic tables for 3 sets of 15 dips
-We ended with 10-minute walking lunges by the tank in honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day which is this Thursday June 6th.

Circle of Trust, Count-o-Rama, Name-o-Rama:
Prayer requests: Boomer and FNG “Ledger” both expecting babies soon (first baby for both of them too). Ledger’s grandfather is in the hospital, so we want to keep he and his family covered in prayers.

Honored to serve,
Strangler
