Top Gun was a blockbuster back in 1986. Now 36 years later the sequel Top Gun, Maverick has a lot of the same actors and characters but it is being deemed by YHC as the best sequel to a movie ever made. I thought it deserved a workout and I may or may not run this one back. The movie was that good and the workout is just a fun one I wanted to do before I do the fathers day stuff in June.

Time for take off- The fleet was 6 strong and so we had to take off. The idea was to pull the rubber band back and launch just like the planes in the movie. So we had different stations, the Bow bands, the 100lb sand bag, the low squat bag and one other weighted bag, we would hold and pull the resistance back and then launch for a 30 yard or so sprint and return. Bonus points for plane noises. We went through all of the stations twice.

There is an actual workout for the actors that involved the following. Who knows if it is just a publicity stunt but we completed the workout as if the PAX were chosen to be extras and all about to play beach volleyball all oiled up in jeans and in the sand. We went to the beach tables and performed 2 sets of split squats, 2 sets of erkins, 2 sets of derkins, 2 sets of dips.

Over to the gun show, we moseyed to the kid equipment to work on our guns as part of top gun. There were stations of bicep pull-ups, block curls, single arm curls and bicep holds and Australian merkins with the timer being the pull-ups.

Finally time to land the plane, we came to the landing strip and had weighted pipes to bring the plane down. The person in the back of the line was on the hang glider and had to follow the instructions of the flight crew. We all took turns flying the plane and took turns guiding the plane into a safe landing.

COT: Continue to guide this country as we try and navigate and make solid decisions to help schools, malls and churches safe places to be. Last year 13 soldiers died overseas in battle and 1654 kids under 18 died in America due to guns. We must be the change.
