Birthday Double Down

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

YHC advertised this one as limited running – found out afterwards some Pax thought this would make it easier. Lesson learned – limited run workouts are typically harder!


FNGs: None
Warm Up:

SSH x29

Daisy Picker x10

Breakdancer x10

Fazio Arm Circles x9
The Workout:

Get a partner and grab a 45lb weight plate per pair. Mosey to the playground.

Lazy Dora – between you and your partner perform the reps – while one partner perform reps other partner performs paired hold:

100 pull ups / John Cusack hold with the plate

200 merkins / plank hold with weight on back

300 squats / squat hold with weight

400 LBCs / 6″ leg hold holding plate over chest

We wrapped up picking up the 6 and then moseyed back to the tennis courts for Mary, returning the weight along the way

Mary:

May 29, 2019 / Thunder / QIC: Doc

PAX:  Lipsync, Kubota, Dusty [Expected but missing: Dauber due to concern over large pre-Thunder meal and potential Merlot, Crosby as an HC no-show and John Deere who got waylaid at work]

Three brave souls showed up for Doc’s one year anniversary, 99 degree heat index Q at Thunder.  It was hot.  How hot?  It was so hot that….
Chickens were laying omelettes
Squirrels were fanning their nuts
Trees were whistling for the dogs
Dick Cheney waterboarded himself
(I could go on all day men – Google has pages of this stuff….)

FNGs: None

EC: Lipsync (2 mi), Dusty (1 mi)

Warm Up: 21 (SSH cadence count to 2, then silently to 21.  All PAX must end at the same time exactly or count starts again); the daisy picker; shoulder burn: Annie’s (merkin followed by plank with right hand scrubbing the floor, then merkin into plank with left hand scrubbing the floor X 5 each side), straight into arm circles, flapping bird, seal claps X 10 IC each.  Grab some water and mosey to amphitheater.

The Workout: Grab a medium rock and head to amphiteater for ALARMs (Arm, Leg, Abs, R-exercise, M-exercise).  Shoulder press with rock, lunge with rock, big boy situp with rock, rut-rohs with rock, merkins (one hand on rock) X 10 each exercise, repeat at 9, 8, 7…..1.  Recover on the curls-for-the-girls at 7 and 3 and a sip of water at 5 and 1.

Headed to the parking lot for Apple Turnovers/Hot Apple Turnovers: Bear crawl three spaces, then flip to crab walk for three spaces; rinse and repeat (and rinse and repeat).  At the end go back but crawl bear three spaces then reverse crab walk three spaces.

It was about this point that YHC was so overjoyed to have other PAX with him (confused? see “The Lonely Virgin” Ground Pounder Q) that he noticed hearts floating up from Kubota’s head and a unicorn-covered rainbow connecting Lipsync and Dusty!! Every color imaginable swirling around the PAX until……no….no, actually this could just be the edge of heat stroke.  Time for a quick water break.

After rehydrating PAX circled up for some curls for the girls and tricep presses X 10 each, changing rocks as we moved around the circle.  Returned the rocks and headed back for Mary.

Mary:  Hurricane Hoedown (in honor of the Canes and their unceremonious and premature exit from the SC Playoffs) on the edge of the cement at the amphitheater.  Flutter kick IC as follows: 7 seated with arms raised, 7 seated with hands behind back, 7 laying high, 7 laying low.  No break in between.  Completed 7,5,3,1.  Then plank-o-rama including WWIIs (x10), picklepounders (x10), homer-to-marge (x1o) and some stretching.

Announcements:  Lipsync made an extremely important and highly relevant announcement, which the sun promptly baked directly out of YHC’s short-term memory (sorry Lipsync)

Square of Trust: ‘Grace and Gratitude’: Doc read some words of wisdom then gathered for a moment of silence.  PAX invited to express requests for grace or expressions of gratitude as they desired.  Gratitude for service members, family, friends, F3 brotherhood.  Amen.

This has been a great year for me.  Man hug to this F3 brotherhood that has become a huge part of my life.  Aye!

Midget who?
