Some know I’ve been battling shoulder issues but PT and stretches are starting to help.

Definitely want to Q the Nest again soon with all it has to offer. Thanks so much for letting me lead!

BS Out

 

10 PAX Took a Tour of Falcon Park

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

FNGs:  None

Warm Up:  Circle up and greeted all of the brothers attending the Nest.  Welcome back Cotter, Chicken Hawk and welcome to The Natural, who said he had never been to this AO and wanted to check things out at Falcon Park in FV.  Circled up with 25 SSH, 10 daisy pickers, 10 windmills, 10 Fazio Arm Circles (F&B), 10 IW, 10 HB,  all in cadence and ended with some Michael Phelps.  Five burpees because of a tardy PAX.

The Workout:  Having moved ~12 yards of mulch (out of 20 total) over the past few days, this Q was not moving well this am but had to muster some energy and bring a workout worthy of the Qs who run The Nest.  Remembering The Natural had not been here before, Q decided to take a tour of Falcon Park. We moseyed to the swing sets where PAX did two sets of 10 pull ups, 10 plank jacks and 10 star jumps; held plank to all PAX finished.  Mosey to a short wall and executed two sets of 10 derkins , dips and irkins.  Mosey to the enclosure with picnic tables and did two laps of up and overs said picnic tables.  Hold Al Gore until all PAX completed.  Mosey to the brick wall by baseball field.  On the way, we executed Frankensteins and lunges.  At the wall, Q called 10 count Australian Mt. Climbers, 10 count people’s chair, 10 count BTTW, 10 count people’s chair, 10 count Shoulder taps and 10 count people’s chair.   Mosey to the inclined driveway with some butt kickers thrown in.  Lined up on the incline drive and bear crawled ~ 20 yards to the stop sign.  Lined up next to the stop sign, began jogging up hill and added Right and Left karaoke until reaching the parking spots.  Lined up in front of parking spots and executed “build a bears” with one merkin at curb (each side) initially and then two merkins at the curb (each side) on the way back.  Executed 25 more SSHs making sure the heart rate was up.  Partner up for 10 broke back merkins and 10 paddy cake merkins.   Got on our six for 25 WW IIs and 20 LBCs.  Somewhere around here, Overachiever walked away to his car.  Sent Cupid to check on him.  (Thanks BS for alerting Q that we had lost one.)  It was muggy with high humidity although temps were in the high 60s.  PAX were soaked with sweat equity and we continued with some static stretching on our six while waiting to hear back on the status of Overachiever.  Q had PAX get up and mosey to the parking lot.  It was getting close to COT.  Q wanted to personally check on PAX who was down.  Directed PAX to get water and the circle up for COT.  BS was befuddled having never heard a call for water during a morning Q.  I needed one and thought it was best for all.

Mary: More importantly, Overachiever was better after a brief respite and some WATER, on to COT.  Had the PAX do some plyometric exercises pushing hands together for a 10 count and then pulling hands (fingers grasped) apart for a 10 count.  Rinse/repeat.   Something new.  Instructed PAX to call out one 10 count core exercise.  We executed Cockroaches, pickle pounders,  merkins, boat canoes, side heel taps, box cutters, H2M, to name a few.  Q took us out with various yoga poses and positions including downward dog, runner’s stretch and pigeon.

Announcements:  9/11 convergence, hurricane preparedness

T-Claps (Recognition):  h1N1, Fromunga (any PAX who did EC today)

Prayer:  PAX brother hiking Kilimanjaro (prayers for his safety), hurricane victims (life/property), Crablegs, Noah’s Ark M., and Unspoken.  Thank you Fromunga for taking us out.

PAX of 8 (1 tardy), 5 for EC, decided to swallow the DRP and post at Disney for a beatdown provided by yours truly.

EC: 187, Axe, Dahmer, Maybelline, Pablo

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Quick jog around the soccer field and circle up at the flag for the following exercises in cadence: SSH x20, IW x10, Hillbillies x10, Sir Fazio Arm Circles 10F&10B.  As warm ups were completing, ChickenHawk decided to grace us with his presence, so Burpees OYO until he got out of his car and joined us.

The Workout: PAX got in a single file line for a short indian run that would take us to the stop sign at the long road that runs adjacent to the large parking lot.  PAX then split into 2 groups of 4 for small group indian runs to complete stakem-up suicides.  There were 5 pain stations at each intersection on the road.  Pax ran to station 1 and did assigned exercise, then back to the beginning to repeat exercise from station 1.  Then run to station 2 to complete assigned exercise, then back to beginning to repeat station 1 and station 2 exercise, and so on… until all stations were complete and all exercises were repeated and stacked together at the beginning.  Exercises were as follows:  Station 1: 5 Burpees , Station 2: 10 Turkish Get-ups, Station 3: 15 Merkins, Station 4: 20 Jump Squats, Station 5: 25 Monkey Humpers.  It was nearing the end of this activity that the Q heard a fellow PAX say that “If I new it was this, I would have gone to TigerBlood”.  I guess Disney is not for everyone 😉  Pax then regrouped and did an indian run back to the park for more fun.  At the park we partnered up and found a nice wall to rest our balls, so Partner 1 hold BTTW while partner 2 did 10 shoulder taps in-cadence, switch and repeat.  Then, Partner 1 hold BTTW while partner 2 did 10 count in cadence mountain climber, switch and repeat. Then repeat all those exercises sets again but instead of BTTW, Partner held Peoples chair.  Once completed mosey to the short wall for 2 sets of 10 Erkins, Derkins, and Dips.  Mosey to the flag for mary.

Mary: The following exercises in cadence: LSF x20, Homer to Marge x10, Boxcutter x20, Freddie Mercury x10, Pickle Pounders x10

Announcements: Beautification Project this Saturday at Middle Creek Elementary School being coordinated by 187 and Foghorn.  They will be doing some small projects to help the school such as power washing and cleaning up some trees/bushes.  All assistance will be appreciated.

Prayer: Noah’s Ark wife, Soldiers deployed and those returning home (some with injuries), those dealing with tough times in their marriage or going through separations

Saw that Lab Rat posted that he needed someone to Q the workout at Morning After. I had never been to Morning After but, I grew up in Garner and knew Vance elementary school even if it had been 30 or so years since I had been out that way, so I figured why not. Met Toro in the park parking lot, however, I did not know that they meet in the school parking lot, luckily he was texting with Tent City and we got corrected even if a few minutes late to start.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Wander behind the school, was looking for a rock pile but it was pointed out that it was in the front of the school so we circled up for warmups. 15 ssh, 10 Merkins, 15 Imperial Walkers, 10 Sir Fazio Forward and backward then 15 good mornings to finish up.

The Workout: Wandered back to the front of the school to find said rock pile.

  • Thang 1: Diego 123, 100 Rock Curls, 200 Triceps Extensions, 300 Rock Squats
  • Thang 2: 4 Corners, Start at 10 at each corner, subtract one every circuit till done. Jump Squats, Monkey Humpers, Hillbillys, and LBC

Mary: 15 Freddy Mercuries, 15 Homer to Marge, and Have a nice day
Announcements: 9/11 Stair Climb
T-Claps (Recognition): Tent City for recruiting 5 FNG’s in his past 2 months with F3. Chicken Hawk and Toro for their second post.
Prayer: Stove Pipe with an upcoming Job Interview,  Tent City with an Interview at a school for his kids.

NMS: This was my first-time Q’ing someplace I had never scouted out at all. thanks to Stove Pipe for helping me finds things and being ready to lead if I had not made it. A lot has changed in the area since I grew up in Garner, but 1010 and old stage still was familiar, always good to go back to your hometown area.
