Four Square of BLIMPS

PAX of 8 posted for a Side Effects return from family vacation Q to enjoy the beautiful pre-rain cool temps in Reeves Park newly named the Blast Furnace (t-claps to Dos Equis on the AO name suggestion).

Mosey the short way to the baseball field
COP for a group Q’d warm-up:
Arm circles x20 (IC) SFx
Circle arms x20 (IC) SFx
Lt. Dan to 10 Squats and 20 Lunges (OYO) Flipper – several complaints about this not being a warm-up, but too painful. YHC remoniced about OBT’s trip to NOLA when he had the PAX do a latter of 11 burpees down to 2, then back to 11.
Merkins x 15 (IC) Ma’ne
SSH x 20 (IC) Spike
IW x 20 (IC) Mr. Feeny
Overhead arm stretch and hold FNG – several comments about this being a real warm-up exercise and how the new guy already knows what he’s doing better than the vets.
Low Slow Squat (Al Gore’s in motion) x 20 (IC) Retail
YHC can’t remember what Mr. Glass Q’d, but it was definitely epic

Mosey a few yards over to the sidewalk behind the bandstand

COT
Discussed Ultimate Convergence in Lehigh Valley on 7/28 – no takers this time
Named the AO – the Blast Furnace in recognition of Phoenixville’s steel making history and the fact that it is where raw materials are added to create liquid iron. Also symbolic of iron sharpening iron and the refinement of sad clowns and fartsackers into HIMs (High Impact Men).
T-shirt ideas – settled on a buff George Washington front and center – discussed tattoos of Red Coats killed and a heart with Martha. Suggested the iconic Valley Forge tents in the background.
