GP – THE PLACE FOR FNGs

FNGs: Welcome 2.o Hacksaw
Warm Up:  Dozen PAX circled up (10, 1 late, 1 via FaceTime)….Circled up.  Introduced a young man to F3.  Ran around the parking lot.  Sir Fazio arm circles, daisy pickers, good am, seal & overhead claps.  5 burpees for tardiness.
The Workout:  Lots of Rock exercises – each PAX called an exercise of 10c or 10 cadence count.  Worked on counting with newer PAX.  Went around the circle twice completing curls, tricep, rut row, overhead press, etc.  used technology and had Frenchie FaceTime with us.  Tried to split up the groups and do a red rover routine.  Epic failure.  Mosey to the wall for 10, 15, 20 count BTTW and People’s Chair.  More rocks.
Mary:  Shredder took over Mary with various stretches including pickle pounders, H2M (each exercise the younger bucks wanted more), crab cakes, break dancers…
Announcements:  Ted Talk with Breach -great example of a PAX who has served and continues to serve.  Farva’s dog
T-Claps (Recognition):  New guys coming out to GP weekly – AWESOME.  Thank you to those PAX and 2.0s who volunteered for the half marathon.
Prayer:  COVID, PAX wife(s); Country; Unspoken (apologies forgetting the other requests)

Always come ready to lead.  Anyone can step in and Q.  Safe environment.  Honored to lead – Dauber.  Thanks Shredder for your help with Mary and volunteering at the table.

Have Rock, Will Travel at GP

I picked up the Q the night before the AO and all I had planned was a field trip. Everything else was inspired on the move and it turned out to be a solid beatdown.
FNGs
: 1 – ButterBurger
Warm Up: Circle up for the disclaimer for the FNG and 10 counts in cadence of the following: Side straddle hops, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, Good mornings, Fozzy arm circles forward and reverse, and Daisy pickers. Then it was off to the rock pile for a medium to large rock with the warning that we will be traveling with it. Also, an additional warning that if the rock was too small then I would be reassigning a new one. All rocks looked solid and we began our mosey that ended up being about 1.5 miles total by the end.
The WorkoutFollow the leader for several alternating rounds of John Cusack and curls for the girls at a nice slow pace for time under tension as we started our walk into the woods.

We stopped  on a path in the woods shortly after the bridge for some 11s – Rock Spanks in cadence, bear crawl, squats on my down, bear crawl and repeat as we cycled from 1/10 to 10/1.

Everyone switched rocks after the 11s and back to the mosey. This time we alternated rounds on the move between tricep extensions in cadence, John Cusack, and a brief pause for squats.

We made our next stop at Veterans Park by the flags. Set our rocks down by the path and find a bench for 15 Irkins, 15 dips, and 15 Derkins. Then it’s time to a switch rocks and back for a quick mosey over to the shelter where we stopped and did 10 Ground Pounders in cadence.

Set the rocks to the side of the path and proceed under the shelter for alternating rounds of Wall Sits and BTTW’s. Once finished it was almost 8 o’clock and we had to get moving to get back for Mary.

Switch rocks and pause for 10 Ruh rohs in cadence followed by more alternating rounds of John Cusack and curls for the girls at a slow cadence on the move. We stopped at the start of one of the disc golf holes on the way back for some calf raises and then once again switched rocks.

Continue the mosey with John Cusack and tricep extensions. The six were falling behind so we switched to lunges while they caught up. We alternated John Cusack and overhead press along with a few reps of look at the pretty trees (thanks to Quiver) as we finally made it back to the rock pile to return the rocks.

Mary: We had about 10 minutes for Mary and with all of the exploring we did I had to throw in some Dora. Partner up for 50 World War II‘s, 100 Freddie Mercury ‘s, and 150 mountain climbers, while you alternate jogging around the parking lot. For the final minute of the Q everyone did mountain climbers to make sure that we had enough reps for Dora. After that final minute everyone was sufficiently smoked.

Announcements: Holly Springs Half is next weekend and volunteers are needed to man the aid stations.
T-Claps (Recognition): Frenchie and Macho Nacho bringing out another FNG. We had 4 Pax under the age of 20!
Prayer: Pax and their families, as well as the state of the country.
