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. The movie was that good and the workout is just fun to do.

Time for take off- The fleet was 9 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. The idea was 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. Each pax got to be the launch pad guy. Then we had a race around the parking lot with each pax as a Mig and each pax as the chaser.

For this workout, I think my speaker blew up but there was still some mumbles of the music from the soundtrack. So we did great balls of fire and passed the ball over our heads until the shoulders were on fire.

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.

Time to buzz the tower, we went over to the stairs and did two sets of the grizzalators. This is erkins on the way up and squats on the way down. We went up two and a half flights.

Over to the gun show, we moseyed back to the blocks to work on our guns as part of top gun. There were stations of F45 or colt 45s with the block, block curls, single arm curls. Then we worked on our wings with the bricks and did some colt45s or F45s with the bricks.

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. Special shout out and thanks to Dinghy who came to help move a few items and have a beer with me at my daughters new place in Hillsborough, I will be coming back to visit you guys more often now that she is there.
