YHC arrived at the AO at 5:27 to find one other vehicle in the parking lot.  Two other PAX arrived on foot.  No one identified as the Q so the decision was made that we would share the responsibilities.  If everyone took about 8 minutes we would get through the workout in just the right amount of time.  YHC took warm up and the first round, Double D went second, Spoonman took 4rd and Sparky brought us home.  Mary, along with other regular PAX (*cough*Sprinkler*cough*) figured it was too cold out this morning and didn’t show.

FNGs: None

Warm Up:

Lap around the soccer field and then circled up near the tennis courts for:

SSH x20 IC

The Workout:

16-bit Q:

YHC led us to the parking lot going down the hill for one of my new favorites, the crab boil.  We crab walked 4 spaces and did crab cakes x10 IC, crab walked another 4 spaces and did crab humpers x10 IC, and then the last 4 spaces and finished with crab jacks x10 IC.  We then did a round of 10 dirkins on the curb, 10 squats, 10 irkins on the curb, and 10 lunges IC.  After that it was a crab boil back up the lot.  When we reached the finish the Q was handed off to whoever wanted it next.  Double D was the first to speak up.

Double D Q:

Utilizing the same parking spaces DD called instructed us to bear craw two spaces, do one merkin, bear crawl another two spaces, do two merkins, etc.  Being there were 12 lines we ended up  with 6 merkins at the bottom.  We did a set of monkey humpers and then started our way back up the lot, this time replacing the merkins with burpees.  Once those were (begrudgingly) done we were led down to the round-about where we did a set of Jack Webbs start at 1:4 and finishing at 6:24 (merkins:air presses).  After that the baton was passed to the next volunteer, Spoonman

Spoonman Q:

We were split in to teams of two and were told that each team needed a rock.  Once rocks were retrieved we made our way back to the base of the parking lot.  Instructions were given.  Partner one would work on 100 goblet squats while partner two ran to the stop sign and back.  After the squats were done we did 100 overhead presses and then 100 triceps extension.  Kind of like a Dora.  Once done the rocks were returned and we handed it off to our last Q, Sparky.

Sparky Q:

We moseyed up to the pavilion at the top to do some legs.  The plan was to do four sets of leg exercises but, unfortunately, the clock only gave us time for two.  Each set consisted of step ups x20, calf raises x10 IC, 60 second people’s chair, and 60 second plank.

Announcements:

Double D guaranteed a great time on Wednesdays at School House in Garner at the Garner Senior HS.  10-20 men followed by a free breakfast.  How can you beat that?  If you have a free morning make your way our there and see what they’re up too.

T-Claps (Recognition):

All the men today for stepping up while being put on the spot to make up part of the workout.  It worked really well.

Prayer:

Double D’s mother-in-law who is going through the late stage of dementia and their family as they go through these tough times.

It was a great morning and a great start of the week.  It’s amazing what we can do when we work together.  Also, men, reach out to those guys that you know of that we haven’t seen in a while.  During some talks afterwards some old names were brought up that were followed by “man, I haven’t seen that dude in forever.”  Find out what they’re up to and get them back out.  They may need it more than we know.
