5 Year Anniversary Q – Gamecock gave ’em 9 inches when they really only needed 6

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

5 years ago yesterday I came out to Kenny’s Grave for the first time at the behest of my friends Yosef, Slots, and Wrangler.  We ran to the AO where I then got my ass handed to me for 45 minutes.  I came back though the next week.  And every week after that for some time before I decided to venture out to other AOs and explore more of what South Wake had to offer.  It will sound like hyperbole but it’s not; it was life changing.  I’m thankful for every post, ever Q, and every PAX in the last 5 years and I’m looking forward to the next 5 as well.

Being that my first workout was so memorable I looked up the backblast from that beatdown (It’ was Kenny Grave’s 2nd workout post-resurrection) and tried to emulate it as much as I could, modifying only because of my shoulder injury.  We ended up with a lot of sweaty dudes at the end and I think everyone “enjoyed” themselves.

FNGs: None today

Warm Up:

Lap around the track and to the basketball courts

Squatted seal claps x20 IC

High knees x20 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Daisy Picker x15 IC

Imperial Walker x16 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

The Workout:

We paired up and went to the corner of the court for partner hops.

Partner 1 was on their 6 holding 6 inches while partner 2 did side hops over their legs.  Two round of this.  At one point someone complained that Gamecock was giving 9″ when they really only needed 6″.  Sounds like a personal problem.

After those two rounds we did Superman broad jumps around the court.  5 pax laid down and held superman while the other man did broad jumps over everyone.  Once he was done he got down and the last man started jumping.  We did this for one full lap around the basketball court.

After that we moseyed back to the parking lot and got in two lines.  Three rounds were done where one man from each line made their way up and back across the parking lot while everyone else was doing AMRAP exercises.

Round 1 – Duck walks and AMRAP squats

Round 2 – Lunge walks and AMRAP LBC

Round 3 – Backwards job and AMRAP reverse lunges

Finally over to the pavilion to do one set of 10 box jumps and 10 step ups with each leg.  We had to cut this short due to time.

Sheepdog – 7/7/23

PAX: , , , , ,

6 Pax for a combination of time under tension (TUT) and fast twitch muscles.  After a quick warmup of follow the leader, side straddle hop, Sir Fazio Arm Circles (F&B), seal clap to overhead clap, Willy Maes Hayes, and Frankenstines, we started the main even.

Using the parking spaces at the middle school we went through several rotations of speed skaters, front toe taps, side-to-side toe taps, and slow single-leg deadlifts, standing on the curb.  We then jogged over to the road guardrail and rotated through 3 rounds of slow TUT dips and then quick merkin pulsing.  AFter that we took a trip around the back side of the school to the basketball court to go say high to Marry.

For Marry, we did a fast-paced rotation of LBCs, low-slow flutter, crab cakes, and breakdancers.

Wrapped up with COT.  Breach took us out.

Goosebumps

Give Yourself Goosebumps!

PAX: , ,

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Warm-o-Rama

The Workout: Choose your own adventure! 25 spots were marked in chalk on the parking lot. Each spot has a mystery exercise and the PAX chose which direction and number they would move to next. We continued until you hit a ‘GOOSEBUMPS’ which triggered 10 burpees and an end to that path. Goals was to find the mystery number that had the ‘good ending’. We had time after finding the ending to complete all exercise markers. 

Mary: Ab exercises throughout the workout

Announcements: Clean up

T-Claps (Recognition): H1N1 for hitting all the goosebumps

Prayer: Safety for children as they travel and have events away from home. Kristin (Gamecock’s daycare) health and fathers’ failing health.

Main Event: We  played a favorite game of X-Marks the spot.  We started off with 20 SSH in cadence at the ends of the X and once we came to our intersection of Ennis St and Raleigh St we stopped and did 10 merkins.  Once all four parts were complete we changed up the exercises to squats on the ends and sumo squats at the intersection.  Got in about 2.5 miles standard.
