Glad it’s Not a Turkish Getup Month Challenge

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

The Q was excited to get started this morning.  Bringing back a favorite exercise we haven’t done in a month.  The Turkish Getup!!

EC: Nemo thought it was a good idea to do a Murph for EC.  Roger Roger was there to do some push ups and cheer him on.

WarmUp:

Ran around the parking lot.  Before making it back to the circle we did some Frankenstein Kicks, High Knee pulls and High Ankle Pulls.

The Thang:

Partner up with someone with a similar Kettlebell weight.  Partners stood 3 parking spaces away.  Partner one started with 1 Turkish Getup Each Arm.  Partner two started with 2 Rockies (Burpee with the Kettlebell)  We counted up from 1 Turkish Getup Per Arm to 5 Turkish Getups Per Arm and 10 Rockies.  After you finished your exercise you bear crawled from your kettlebell to your partners kettlebell and did the opposite exercise.

After the Main course was completed we went on a walk with our Kettlebells.

John Cusack with your bell then we stopped and did 20 Bent Over Rows;
Partner 1 farmer walk the two bells while Partner 2 lunged walked.  We then circled up to do 10 Kettlebell Chest Press with Each arm;
Partner 2 farmer walk the two bells while Partner 1 lunged walked.  We then circled up for Weighted Homer to Marges;
Bicep Curled while walking.  We then circled up and did 20 Kettlebell Swings;
Tricep Press while walking.  We then circled up to do 20 Halos;
Each Pax then got to decided how they wanted to carry their bell to the last stop.  At the last stop we did 12 Cadence Count of the Bus Driver.  Just in time for the Holly Springs Run Club to run by us.

EC: Boy George, Emeril, Skidmark

Warm-up

Mosey to the soccer fields for warmup. SSH, FO arm circles, cotton pickers, imperial walkers, hillbillies. Partner up based on overall ability. Split partners into 2 teams to get evenly matched teams.

Main workout

Each team did a count off to get a number assigned to the pax, and had to perform 20 exercises 1 pax at a time. The pax would bear crawl 10 yards, then sprint to the other end of the soccer field, do the exercise associated with their number (or multiple of that number), then sprint back. Then the next pax would go. The remaining pax would do either 10 merkins, 10 ww2, 10 lsf in cadence, or 5 burpees and then do a squat hold until the pax doing the exercise returned. The 20 exercises were plank jacks, American hammer IC, diamond merkins, monkey humpers IC, Homer to Marge IC, burpees, Turkish get ups, LBC IC, left arm plank hold IC, right arm plank hold IC, star jacks, Carolina dry dock, pickle pounder IC, chilly jacks, Freddie Mercury IC, jump squats, wide arm merkins, Peter Parker IC, deep squats, box cutters. Each was a set of 5. When the team finished all 20 exercises, they ran to the other end of the soccer fields at Womble, and then did a 1 loop Indian Run back to the flags.

Mary

We then did an extended Mary with each Pax contributing 2 exercises for a 5 count each.

Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”

Birthday Surprise at the nut

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

21 pax gathered to help YHC celebrate his 28th birthday – a good handful ran a funky EC route that Slide Rule came up with. 5:30 arrived and we were off with no FNG’s.

Group mosey to the basketball goal/playground circle, with kareokee and backwards runs along the way.

Warmup:
SSH x28 IC
Fazio arm circles x14 IC forward and backward
Standard Merkin x28

The first thing:
Pax got with an accountability partner for laps around the track, being told to push it all out there as there would be breaks between. Lap 1 was 7 burpees at each corner (total of 28) with LBCs x30 (YHC lost count) followed by pickle pounders x28 IC. Lap 2 was 7 turkish getups at each corner followed by Freddy Mercury’s x28 IC.

The second thing:
The pax then got to learn about Pikachu’s birthday surprise – another Q! 187 took over and moseyed us over to the bricks. All pax got two bricks – exercise 1 was a brutal wheelbarrel with brick in each hand march (hands coming out straight every “step”) with squats when breaks were needed. Pax went the length of the parking lot and then swapped. Exercise 2 was a reverse crab walk with bricks in hand the length of the parking lot. Bricks were returned and then it was time for….

The third thing:
The third Q was Skidmark. We went over to the playground for some 7s – pull ups and jump squats, alternating and adding up to 7. Skidmark then broke out his math skills and informed us that that was 21 of each, so we did 7 more of each to hit lucky number 28. We moseyed to the front of the school for a merkin clock where Skidmark impressed all by a)not stopping and b) calling for recovery on the one armed plank.

YHC lead some mary and took us out.

Words can’t express how much each of you and F3 mean to me – I’m a better man because of all of this and I’m grateful to have all of these HIMs in my life.

PS – Only two more years of hate 😉
