Introducing, Quadzilla

/in /QIC:

PAX:  Moose, FRAM, Bobby Dall, Redenbacher, Breach, Woody
Warm Up:  I dunno, probably some good mornings, frankensteins, sir fazio?  It was almost two weeks ago, I’m gonna be short on details.
The Workout:  Okay, so I built this thing.  Its name derived from the major muscle group that initially screamed out in agony the first time I took her for a spin up/down my street.  (Full disclosure, I kinda borrowed the name from a late 80’s-early 90’s Suzuki four wheeler that I lusted after as a young lad.  Bright yellow, racing suspension, 500cc’s, a real beaut!)  I don’t know where the idea came from but here it is.  A couple tires stacked together, holding a sheet of MDF upon which can be stowed a great variety of additional weighted items, some rope and a weight belt.  Top tire is easily removed so as to offer a wide range of weight options.  For today’s debut we had 2 tires and 2 coupons – modify as needed. Instructions are pretty self explanatory but you decide how much weight you want to pull, strap on the weight belt and run.  That’s about it.

The workout was simple, a weight-based circuit, each PAX at a station and the tire-puller ran an out & back, acting as the timer.  I brought some toys and borrowed some more from Breach.  Stations included:  25lb dumbbells for skull crushers, 30lb ruck sack for squats, “pain stick” for shoulder presses, 5/10/15lb dumbbells for straight arm shoulder raises, medicine ball for WWII-Toss, handheld sand bags for swimmers press, Large sandbag for Ruh-rohs, and a variety of “filler” stations like merkin sample platter and other body weight routines.

To start, I randomly selected a distance (2nd light pole from our position) to which Quadzilla would be run, but when Breach had to stop to catch his breath at about the halfway point I knew it was too far, so it was shortened.  PAX were able to determine their own tire/block combination to pull as it was easily adjustable, so that part went well.  However, some design flaws were quickly identified, as the top tire hopped off it’s pegs from time to time and the noise of MDF and block bouncing about made quite a clatter.  Not bad for an initial run, though, and everyone seemed to achieve some level of pain-through-exertion from it.  It should be mentioned that FRAM was the only one to go full beast mode and pull both tires and both blocks!

Mary:  Jim Braddocks, probably some others but not much
Announcements:  Maybe.
T-Claps (Recognition):  No idea
Prayer:  YCH took us out.  Amen.

The Workout: Woody took over for round 1. We gathered at the bank and partnered up. 6 Patty Cake Merkins at the ATMs. Run to the other side, 6 more Patty Cake Merkins. Run back. We did 5 rounds.

YHC (Abe) had round 2. We ran around the back of the shopping center and grabbed 2 palm-sized rocks. Lined up on the wall, we held People’s Chair with arms extended. 10 count down the line for a total of 70. Recover. Side arm raises with the rocks, 10 in cadence. We repeated for a total of 3 rounds.

Next up was McNugget for round 3. We lined up on the guard rail for some dips and durkins. 10 each, 3 rounds.

Last but certainly not least, Wild Turkey for round 4. Over to “that hill” for 7s. Burpees at the bottom, star jumps at the top.

With everyone properly beat, we headed back for Mary.
