Speed Traps

/in /by

FNGs: none

PAX: @Gamecock, @Beerpressure, @Abacus, @Martini, @Finkle
Warm Up: Mosey around the ballpark track doing butt kickers, high knees and crossovers.  Then did SSH, Good Mornings, Daisy Pickers, Hillbillies, leg stretches
The Workout: Grabbed a rock and hit the road.  At each intersection we stopped to do a prescribed rock exercise until we came to our beloved FQV speed trap sign.  We then went to task to see who was the fastest sprinter.  Each person that sprinted then picked an exercise with their rock to lead the group through.  YHC ended up being the fastest with 18 MPH with several others with a close 17 MPH.  But whose to say it was a competition b/c we’re all winners.  Next we went down to the park and did a bear crawled up a couple hills with exercises at the top and bottom and took a nice mosey back to the Grave to finish out with prayer.
Mary: none, field trip took too long.
Announcements:
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: @Finkle – prayers for my youth pastor and family, sick with covid.  @beerpressure – knee injury, @gamecock – job change

Are you a Member of the Clergy?

/in /by

Sometimes when an FNG shows up, you gotta ask, “are you a priest or pastor, or member of the clergy?” Because we’re about to talk about rock spanks with consent and without consent and pickle pounders, etc. Today’s FNG Abacus, was not a member of the clergy so we had the “all clear” to commence with the best mumblechatter in Southwake. YHC sought to set the stage for ridiculousness by introducing the Bag of Wrenches (about a 30lb. bag of wrenches, literally) that would accompany us on our short journey today.

FNG’s: Welcome aboard Abacus!!!
Warm Up: Shredder got us started off with SSH x 15 IC as YHC got some extra gloves for our FNG. This was followed by Good Mornings x 20 IC, Imperial Walkers into Hillbillies x 15 IC, Hand Release Merkins x 20, Seal Claps x 10 IC, Overhead Claps x 10 IC, Donkey Kicks x 20 IC, Hand Release Merkins x 10, Good Mornings x 10 IC.
The Workout: Mosey over for some rock work as Shredder and Pumpkin Spice shared the load of Bag of Wrenches.

Circle of Rock

2 Rounds of each: Squats x15, Rut-Rows x15, Hand Release/Release Merkins x 10 IC, Curls for the Girls x15, Tricep Extension x15, Rock Spanks x15 IC, Chest Press x25, Shoulder Press x15.

The circle of rock continued except 4 PAX stepped up to do 25 Curls for the Girls with the Bag of Wrenches, while the rest of the circle did AMRAP Ground Pounders the entire time. PAX not Curling or Pounding were Planking.

Wall of Pain

Each PAX took a turn doing 25 Curls for the Girls with the Bag of Wrenches while the rest of the PAX alternated between BTTW and People’s Chair. With 13 fellas…this took awhile!

Mosey to the playground with Shredder and 3rd Cousin grabbing the bag to travel. When we got there, 4 different PAX stepped up to be our “wrench curlers” while all others did AMRAP step-ups. PAX not curling or stepping, were planking.

Mary: LBC’s x20 IC, Homer to Marge X 20 IC, WW1’s x 20, Pickle Pounders x20 IC, short mosey back to the flag for Donkey Kicks x 10 IC. I told these guys not to leave open spots on the Q Sheet!
Announcements: Long Ass Run, March 27th. Downtown Train has an April “Neighborhood Challenge” coming up.
T-Claps (Recognition): Pumpkin Spice and Forceps for the double down and Pumpkin Spice will be on the VQ at Ground Pounder next week. That dude is gonna uncork it on us! Welcome Abacus (works in finance…close to Bean Counter…but).
Prayer: Motor Boatin’ and his new job, Pumpkin Spice has a friend who has recovered from a possible brain tumor, fellow PAX in Carpex with various injuries, those struggling with addiction, depression, mental illness, and grief. When we pray…God moves! YHC took us out.
