Nice Little Total Body TRX Workout

Big group of 6 PAX doing some high intensity TRX. A visit from Carpex @Frisco. Great work gentlemen!

FNGs: none
Warm Up: Pigpen led the warmup for both groups
The Workout: Switch from rinse and repeat TRX upper and lower body to wide Merkins, dips, Irkins, step ups.

We didn’t name him Lawn Chair (or Quitter!)

A beautiful day at Tiger Blood.  Good friend of mine for a long time finally came out to join me and 9 others for an easy day of upper body and core.  Frisco made the trip across the wall to support SW native Dom.  I was waiting for the mumble chatter, but apparently devil burpees are the antidote to that!

FNGs: Powder Priest (Sonny -> It’s always Sunny in Philly -> Coke addicted Priest -> Alliteration is your friend)

Warm Up: Quick lap, SSH, Imperial Walkers / Hillbillys.  5 Devil Burpees at request of Da Business

The Workout:

Pikachu asked for low running.  He also didn’t actually show up, so….yeah.  Thank you for your leadership?

Thing 1:

12’s — Russian Twist + Double Merkin Absolutions.  Do 11 Twists, 1 Absolution, 10 /2 , etc.  Every 3 rounds, jail break to other side of the parking lot.
Protip: 10 double merkin absolutions, 1 twist, then 11 double merkin absolutions is none of the fun.

Thing 2:

I had originally planned Thing 3 to be at this point, but had to audible order.  We indian ran to the track and did the
Beep Test“: 1 partner ran a lap while the other did burpees.
4x times, each time partner does 2 fewer burpees (and therefore run faster to finish together)

Thing 3:

Brokeback / Backbroke merkin combo.  Pair up, one of you does 10x backbroke, the other does 10x brokeback.
Run around the island, 8x, switch top and bottom.
There were absolutely no comments about who prefers to be a top vs. a bottom, why do you ask?

At this point the Carpex guys slipped off into the woods together.  I guess what happens in SW stays in SW?

Thing 4:
11’s — Shoulder Tap BTTW + Tysons.
We ran out of time and ended after 8 rounds with 10x of each.

Mini Thing:
Floor is lava on the tiger/dawg paws back to start

Mary
PICKLE POUNDERS

Announcements:
All the 3rdF you could want and more.  So glad to be part of this group and see the impact we’re making.  Way to lead guys.

T-Claps (Recognition): Solid effort out there this morning.  Always fun to hear guys encouraging an FNG and reminiscing about what it was like when they first came out.

Prayer
: Whole lot of sickness and surgery out there.  Dom shared he got a new job.  Really solid conversation about prioritizing home life over work and the challenges we face to do that well.  Real solid COT guys.

QSWAP DAY 5: UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….

A pre-blast was sent to Carpex and South Wake looking for support for the to-be Q at Dazed and Confused.  With the numbers that these two regions have the potential to bring, YHC thought this was an appropriate time to swallow his pride and make the request for a name change.  I know… I know… I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!  But if there was ever a time to get the votes I needed, it would be today.  And hey, I’ve heard some of the mumblechatter about South Wake naming.  Peeping Tom’s name got shortened to PT when he moved to Carpex – Carpex will be sympathetic to my plight…. right?

1000 HCs were requested, the votes came in…

Carpex –

  • 10 HCs
  • 4 Laughed with me (I think)
  • 1 SC
  • 2 “Peeing” emoji – inappropriate!!!  EXACTLY THE SORT OF THING I’M TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM!!!  Calm…  Calm…
  • 1 “No Entry” emoji – I assume this just means no, I’m not trying to enter anything…  Minds in the gutter in this region…

SouthWake

  • 8-ish HCs
  • A whole bunch of protests –  “We Love You UTI… Never change..” stuff like that
  • A threat that I would be “Getting an English Ripping” – Australians… Am I right?

As 187 commented on the pre-blast, “UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….”

***I had no intention of changing my name.  Do we even have 1000 PAX between our 2 regions?  If 1000 had HC’d or shown up I might have had to change my name… I mean that would be some vote!  This exercise was for fun and a mockery of those posts you often see out on the social medias.  I scouted the FB pages of some of my elderly relatives for research and treaded lightly around the ones that focus on serious illnesses.  This was my inspiration 😀

 

EC: Warbucks, Full House, The Joker, 187, Skidmark, Lipstick, Pikachu

Count off 1,2,3

  • Group 1 Top of the Deck, Star Jumps until relieved
  • Group 2 Stairs, run to the top to relieve Group 1
  • Group 3 Bottom of the Deck, WWIIs until relieved

Groups 1, 2, and 3 cycled through this rotation until all 3 groups completed 10 climbs up the stairs

*Flaw in the structure of this, should have created groups of 3 and had them split up into 3 stations, continuing the rotation as a team of 3.  T-claps to Shut-In and other PAX that started calling out group numbers as they got to their new stations to help keep everyone moving.  Lesson learned for next time 😀

Thang 2

All PAX to the top of the parking deck, line up on the half wall

Bear Crawl the long way down the lot stopping at each light pole for 5 Merkins OYO

T-Claps to Theismann for calling out Chill Cut moves (and not Have A Nice Day) while we brought in the 6.  Lucky Charms and Pikachu – you guys are fast on those Bear Crawls!!!

Return to the other side of the lot – this time Lunge Walks, 10 LBCs at each light pole.

Thang 3

Mozy to the opposite stair case and descend.  People’s Chair while we wait for the 6.
