The Strutbrigade Celebrates 40 Years of Awesomeness

Conditions:  Forgot to check, but its July, its South Carolina, so lets just say hot and humid.

5 PAX gather in the humidity of Strut this morning looking to get better.  Good to see some PAX out this morning in response to the advertised special Double Dedication Q.

The one-minute warning was sounded, no FNGs noted, standard disclaimer given, COVID disclaimer given, opening prayer offered, and off we go.

Given the significance of today date, to which half of the aforementioned double dedication is dedicated, today’s musical selection comes from AC/DC’s album, Back in Black, the live version of the title track, you’re welcome.  YHC saw these guys live 10 times and can attest they are easily the greatest live band ever.

Mosey down Leisure Lane and to the lower parking low and circle up for COP:

  • 40 SSHs (IC) – for 40 years
  • 15 Wind Mills (IC)
  • 15 TTTs (IC)

Mosey to the concession stand for Round 1 of The Thang:

Do 5 reps of each of the following exercises, than run two laps around the building (or PAX were given option of longer or shorter distance), then R&R, but increase reps by 5 till you reach 20, then cycle down by 5 till you reach 5, then start your way back up.  So, its reps, run, reps, run, yada yada for AMRAP

  • Squats
  • Alternating lunges (each leg)
  • Bonnie Blairs
  • Step ups
  • Calf raises.

AMRAP was for 30 minutes.  That is twice as long as the amount of time allotted to Caddy Day at Bushwood Country Club swimming pool (which is related to the 2d of the two double dedicated this day).  All the while, YHC treated the PAX in attendance to some tunes, which was AC/DC’s Back in Black album.

After 30 minutes of AMRAP was completed, we mosey to  the rock pile, grab a rock, and circle up for clue of what the other dedication is as at this point the PAX had not been made privy to that.

  • Curls (AMRAP for the entire time of Kenny Loggins’ “I’m Alright” which is the theme to Caddyshack).

Then, AMRAP of the following sets, following the same sequence above, sans the running:

  • Curls
  • Tricep extensions
  • Military presses
  • Bent over rows
  • Napalms

After 10 mins, we mosey back to the parking lot and circle up for a very little Mary:

  • 40 LBCs (IC)
  • 15 Stormy Daniels (IC)

Jail-break three steps to the SF for COT, BOM, and closing prayer.

Naked Moleskin:  Another great effort by the StrutBrigade and great to have AB (Strut #redwoodoriginal) with us today.

Hi everyone, I'm new and glad to be here! - GoDaddy Community

Today’s workout is dedicated to two events that occurred on this very day 40 years ago.

Months removed from the death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, AC/DC released their album Back in Black with new lead singer, Brian Johnson.  This album, dedicated to the memory of Bon Scott, would go on to be one of the best-selling albums of all time and propel AC/DC to rock legends status.

Also on this day 40 years ago, the movie Caddyshack was released.

These two events had a profound impact on YHC as I know most of the words to both of these.  As mentioned above, YHC attended 10 AC/DC shows and has seen Caddyshack numerous times.

Praises/Prayer Requests:

  • Those affected by the COVID
  • Notebook (cancer surgery)
  • Safe travels to Fiji and Kimberly as they trek about
  • Unspoken prayers

Announcements:

  • Strut Q sheet needs some love
  • 8/8 at Strut, F3Lake Murray 6-year anniversary, and the 7th anniversary of Strut, plan now to attend
  • F3 lunch this Wednesday at Steve’s Classic Burgers on St. Andrews, high noon. Other F3 (2nd and 3rd Fs) lunches and events are a-plenty. Check Twitter and the website for details.  In fact, there is a whole lot going on, so check the website and Twitter often for updates. Another good place to look for updates/info is in the announcements of the posted Back Blasts.
  • Many, many running groups, a rucking group, and kettle bells groups on non-bootcamp days, so get out and get better.
