He loves me, he loves me not..." [Original] : awwnime

Can you believe that with everything going on in the world right now the most “heated” debate this morning was whether or not a certain section of Judd parkway had sidewalks?  Almost refreshing, actually.

YHC looked at the Q Sheet this morning and noticed that no one had signed up to Q this morning.  Crap.  I really should be a better site Q it would seem. No time to really plan anything this morning so it was a make it up on the fly kind of day

Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Daisy Picker x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Imperial Walker x10 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

The Workout:

Mosey down to the concession stand area and grabbed a piece of the knee wall for two sets of:

Step ups x20 IC

Irkins x10

Dips x10

Dirkins x10

Afterwards we grabbed some wall on the building.  We did People’s Chair and Balls to the Wall with each PAX giving a 20 count during the first go round and a 15 count the second time though.  Afterwards we headed over to the little hill between the fields for 11s.  We did squats at the bottom and star jumps at the top.

Once done with that we moseyed back up to the tennis courts for a round of what I’m now calling Crab Boils.  Starting at the side line of one of the tennis courts we crab walked to the same line on the next court over where we did 10 Crab Cakes IC.  We crab walked to the next court where we did 10 Crab Humpers IC and finally crab walked to the next court to do 10 Crab Jacks IC.  We took a bit of a rest at the end.  A rest in the form of Jack Webbs.  1 merkin and 4 air presses progressing up to 10 merkins and 40 air presses.

After that we did a Crab Boil back across the courts until we got back to where we started.  Our rest on this side was Batwings.  We were supposed to do 20 IC reps of forward arm circles, reverse arm circles, seal claps, and overhead claps but YHC’s shoulders were on fire (based on the smoke coming off of them) so we audibled half way through to only do 10 reps of seal claps and overhead claps.

One more time across the courts, this time starting off with a lunge walk to the next court, 10 squats, duck walk to the next court, reverse lunges, broad jumps to the next court, forward lunges, and frog jumps to the fence.  At that point it was finally time for…

Mary:

Dora returns to Possum Trot

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , ,

It’s been a while since I Q’d Possum Trot and, seeing whereas I’m the site co-Q, I probably should.  To be honest, the Q-Sheet has been pretty full so there hasn’t been a lot of need for me to which is a great problem to have.

Often times I try to get too creative with my Qs and forget that sometimes the tried and true things are that way because they work.  That said, I decided to do something I haven’t done in a long time, the Dora.  Or two of them. Whatever.

The Workout:

PAX paired off for the first of two Dora’s YHC had planned.  The first one was a standard one, 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 squats.  While one partner was doing reps the other was running a lap around the outside of the tennis courts.  Continued until all reps were complete.

For the 2nd round we went and got rocks and lined up at the end of the parking lot.  This round was 100 triceps extensions, 200 curls for the girls, and 300 trunk twists.  The non-rep doing partner John Cusacked a rock about half way up the parking lot and back.  We started to run out of time so at the end everyone divided up the number of trunk twists they had left and the teams pumped them out so we could wrap up.

Did You Put Those Deer There?

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

YHC has been trying to get down to “the Quay” more often. Figured if I sign up to Q, I’ll head down there. So YHC decided to Q a couple FV places he’s only been a couple times. Lemme Q Possum Trot and Kenny’s Grave back to back.  You never know what can happen right? After lagging behind somewhat on the EC, YHC was determined to hit at least 3 spots with challenging intensity. At arrival, Fonzie was already game planning for his beatdown to deliver during Q challenge week coming up. So I figured, I better throw out something good today. 13 pax posted strong today!

EC: Fanny Pack, Fonzie, LED, Shamwow!, And Norm (who did about a 1/4 mile catch up as he rolled in a bit late for EC…impressive).

FNG’s: POTS boy…welcome Meatball.  Swedish Metal Music = Meatball. Good enough!
Warm Up: SSH x 30, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Squatted Seal Claps, Squatted Arm Circles F/R, Squatted Overhead Claps, Moroccan Night Clubs.
The Workout: Moseyed a loop and did 11’s on the big grass hill at the corner.  We did Mountain Climbers IC at the bottom, dips on the guardrail up top.  Mosey to the tennis court for some stacked Suicides on the lines. We stacked up and then unstacked with some extra absolutions for our 6.  Line exercises were: 5 absolutions, 10 burpees, 15 star jumps, 20 merkins, 25 monkey humpers, 30 LBC, 35 SSH.  Then we took the same stack back.

Mosey to the restroom pavilion for each pax 10 ct. of people’s Chair x2, and a 10 ct. each pax of BTTW. Finished down there, with 2 deer onlooking, with a dozen of each: shoulder taps, nipplers, Merkins. LED comments, “man Fanny Pack… Did you put those deer there?”  I aim to please…mosey back to the flag for Mary Mary: Feel the PT road rash… 20 Box Cutters, 20 H2M.
Announcements: Q shift week coming up… check Slack.  Mulch continues.., check Slack.  Sign up to Q…seriously fellas…check Slack.
T-Claps (Recognition): Breach showing great instructional form on burpees and absolutions. LED for doing an extra few lines during the suicide stack. My FV brothers for allowing YHC to come to their turf to practice my trade!
Prayer: In a strong move of boldness, Meatball… the FNG… took us out.  See you tomorrow my FV brothers!

Hit the skids

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , ,

FNGs: None
Warm Up: SSH, Sir Fozie arm circles (10 forward / 10 back) Windmills, single leg dead lift.

The Workout: 4 cones spaced 75 feet apart in a square. cone 1 > PAX choice, Cone 2  > Abs, Cone 3 > Biceps/Triceps, Cone 4 > Chest and back. Group split into teams of 2 and a group of 1.  Each Cone had an additional 44lbs tractor weight. Once the timer started tractor weights could not touch the ground, penalty for dropping was 5 burpees per drop.  A skid was placed at Cone 1 and pushed/pulled to the next cone with the tractor weight. Partner helped without picking up the skid. Once the skid hit cone two the 2nd tractor weight was added and the next group pushed/pulled the skid. This rotation continued around all four cones.  The next pass around the cones we dropped off one weight and continued the rotation. The HIM’s owed 50 burpees at the start of the workout and each pass of the skid deducted the overall burpee count for the 30 min ME.  As the team got the jest of the activity it became very clear that we have conceptual thoughts about how the theories of E=M2 works in physics, but we were very challenged in practical application of the theory.  POTS worked the skid and weight with out a buddy to help and we lost one tractor weight early. 55 burpees before we made one pass and another drop put us at 60.  We got better as the time passed, but a PAX that shall not be named (POTS) maybe dropped two weights accidentally on his mosey to the next cone.  At the end of the 30 min we owed 10 burpees from an apex of 60.

Mary:  Korean Wars (20 count) Ball Diamonds (20 count) Side Raises / Oblique V-ups 10 each then switch sides.

Announcements:  Mulch..Mulch…Mulch.
T-Claps (Recognition):  Thanks Sprinkler for bringing the coupons.

Round 2:  100 erkins, 200 reverse LBC’s and 300 calf raises – did not quite make it all the way through the second round
