10 Pointers at Mutiny

/in /by

First time Q for me at Mutiny. Been there several times over the years but never took lead. Was great to combine with Red October for EC, w/u, Mary and COT.

FNGs: No, but we had an FNG at Red October, welcome Murdoch
Warm Up: combined with Red October
The Workout: Indian Run to get things moving. Selected rocks and started with curls and tris from 20 to 15 to 10 to 5.  Shifted to the 10-pointer. Did 10 on the 10 count. This is full motion move starting with a squat, curl, tri press, back to chest press, curl down and end back down in the squat. Slower count, focus on form. Then we did a Bear Crawl halfway back up the road and jog the rest to a plank hold, 20 SSH IC, and 10 tempo squats. Mosey back to rocks and repeat (I think we ended up doing 4 full sets). Headed over to tennis courts and did a shoulder burn as we waited for Red October.
Mary: A couple quick moves called by YHC and Breach
Announcements: Upcoming picnic, check slack and make plans.
T-Claps (Recognition): Rainmaker coming back out, great work this morning
Prayer: Breach took us out

Surprise Q

/in /by

So this was my first day back after being out for two weeks with Covid and I was thinking I would try to take it a little easy. Ha! I arrived in the parking lot and was greeted by several PAX and a discussion began about who had the Q. Someone (I think it was FedEx or Sprinkle – or both) said YHC had the Q, to which I chuckled and uttered something along the lines of “yeah, right”. They quickly responded saying that YHC did indeed have the Q. At that moment I remembered that I had signed up to Q weeks ago – prior to getting Covid – so I jumped in and repeated part of a previous workout and improvised the rest.

Thanks for bearing with me and for the opportunity to lead – although YHC was somewhat underprepared.

FNGs: None
Warm Up:

SSH x 20 IC
Daisy Pickers x 10 IC
Good Mornings x 10 IC

The Workout:

Mosey to the rock pile for a repeat of a previous Q. Everyone grabbed a rock and we proceeded to circle up for a rock exercise followed by a lap around the circle – John Cusack style.

The exercises stacked up after each lap…

Exercise 2: Overhead Press x 15 IC;
Exercise 3: Tricep Extension x 15 IC;
Exercise 4: Ruh Roh’s x 15 IC;
Exercise 5: Rock Merkins x 10 on each side

Rocks were then returned after one last lap and we moseyed to the tennis courts for a modified 4 corners. Corner #1 was 10 Merkins, followed by BTTW/ bear crawl one at a time until all PAX made it to the next corner. At corner #2, we stacked the 10 merkins with 20 squats. We lunge-walked to corner #3 for stacked merkins, squats and added 30 SSH. To cap it off, we repeated the BTTW/ bear crawl until all PAX were at corner #4. Once there, we stacked the merkins, squats, SSH, and added 40 Freddie Mercuries.

Good Luck Finding a Rock

/in /by

A nasty morning for a workout. But this is what we do for ourselves and each other. Caught up with Dauber at Red October for the warm-ups and Mary before heading out on our own adventures.

FNG’s: no sir.
Warm Up: SSH x 30, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Daisy Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies all IC x 10.
The Workout: Moseyed over to the bottom of the circle to find a rock for the upcoming routine YHC had chosen. This was to no avail as the rock pile and most of the surrounding grounds of Mutiny were simply underwater or waterlogged. This would cause a change in expected course throughout the workout. YHC eliminated a bear crawl routine toward the end because it was just too muddy and rocks…we just wouldn’t be using those during the 11’s I had planned.

We split up into twos and completed some Meet Me in the Middle 11’s around the horseshoe in the parking lot. Each end of the horseshoe had the PAX completing either 5 burpees or 5 Mountain Climbers IC before running back and meeting in the middle for the 11’s part. The 11’s consisted of standard merkins and jump squats. Each time we met in the middle we would switch directions to run to the other end. We all got a fair amount of running in.

Next up with YHC’s bear crawl idea off the table for today, the PAX completed 3 rounds of 20 reps each, step-ups, irkins, and dips. The group headed over to the wall for a 20 ct. per PAX People’s Chair, followed by a 40 ct. Prisoner squats.
Mary: Dauber led Mary. 2o ct. IC LBC’s, various static stretches, and finishing with 20 ct. Box Cutters.
Announcements: F3 TedTalk tomorrow night regarding crucial conversations. Needmore Ruck will add on roadside and parks cleanup after the ruck Sunday. Show up to give back. Q School, next Sunday the 21st at 3:00 at Womble.
T-Claps (Recognition): Beating the fartsack even after looking out the window.
Prayer: Kids going back to school today including Norm’s daughter for the first time since last March! Norm took us out. Honored to lead and glad to have a few strong PAX out there with me.
