Pablo’s Birthday Q at Paradise City

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

15 PAX, 6 for EC, braved the cold temperatures to come and celebrate Pablo leveling up after another trip around the Sun.  I appreciated all the friendly faces that came out to show their support.  It was good to see Java’s dog, Nespresso, venture out into the gloom until Warbucks decided to hurt the dog (shame on you!! jk).

FNGs: None

Kotter: Particle Board

Notable Absences: Midget4Life

EC: Skidmark, Warbucks, Buford, Dawgpound, UTI, Pablo

Warm Up: started with a mosey the back way around toward tennis courts stopping multiple times for warm up exercises in cadence: SSHx40 (1 extra for good luck), IW x10, HB x10, Sir Fazio Arm Circles 10F&10B, seal claps x10, overhead claps x10

The Workout: Q got a headcount and split the PAX into 3 groups of 5 for small group indian runs to complete stakem-up suicides.  There were 5 pain stations that started at the top of the ramp area and went toward the stop sign on Sportmanship Way.  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 Hand Release Merkins, Station 4: 20 Jump Squats, Station 5: 25 Monkey Humpers.  When completed, PAX moseyed to the box office and split into 2 groups, 1/2 PAX did bulgarian squats x10 each side and the other 1/2 held BTTW x 2 rounds.  Mosey to the flag for Mary.

Mary: The following exercises in cadence: LSF x20, Homer to Marge x10 regular x5 right leg up x5 left leg up, Boxcutter x20, Freddie Mercury x20, Pickle Pounders x10

Announcements: 2nd F opportunity at Wegman’s for lunch followed by Ice Skating at Raleigh Ice Plex, 3rd F opportunity to support family member of Kosher to build a playset (info to be posted on slack)

Prayer: Wallaby, Crablegs, Unspoken, Warbucks took us out.

Doubling Down With QIC Triple Lindy

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

Ground Pounder. Triple Lindy wrapped up a successful Q-Swap week with a solid beatdown at South Wake’s only Saturday bootcamp workout. Here’s his account:

Warmup:

-No fng’s and no flag planted at our 7:30 start time so 5 penalty burpees were called to start the morning. Found out there was a flag in the trunk so got it planted and quick mosey around the parking lot. This was the extent of running for the morning.

-Circle up for some south wake style good mornings, side straddle hops, calf stretch, and daisy pickers.

The Thang:

-Mosey over time playground and find a section of bench or concrete wall for Aiken Legs. This is 20 squats, 20 box jumps, 20 lunges, and 20 split jacks.

-circle up for Air-squared. I know how much SW likes clapping, so hold people’s chair with a 20 count seal clap.

-spread out around the circle around the playground. Time for Apple Turnover. Pax to bear crawl halfway around the circle. Once halfway switch to crab walk until complete the circle.

-Partner up. Partner 1 does 10 reps of No Surrender while partner 2 holds back planks. Flip flop.

-still in partners, 1 does 5 pull-ups while 2 does Mike Tysons, which is plank hold against the wall, do a horizontal squat to a merkin. 5 rounds were called.

-empty wheelbarrows were called. Not the best idea at this point of the morning. Pax only made it quarter way around the circle before the Q called an audible.

-Global warming- circle up and side shuffle around the circle with every single pax calling out a 10 count exercise. With 19 Pax in attendance, this sufficiently sucked.

Mary:

Homer to Marge, American hammers, and gas pumpers to bring us to an end.

COT:

Count off, name-o-rama, prayers spoken and unspoken

FNGs: Nope not today
Warm Up:

Once everyone that was coming arrived we started to move to the other parking lot on the other side of the baseball fields. The Pax was extremely generous to allow me to stay in the front for this little jog. I felt supper fast. Also at this time Midget and Chips were catching up with each other. This will happen when both stopped posting in the gloom. Once we arrived at our location we circled up.

The warm up was brought to you by Onnit
We started off with just bouncing. We do a lot of side straddle hops and bouncing is a nice equivalent exercise.
Next up was the backstroke
Followed by the behind your back Fazio Arm circles. This is where we lost some of the pax. Apparently we need to work on branching outside the F3 exercises and try something new every now and then.
Good Mornings

After this it was time to do the exercises that would make up our main thang. We did 5 reps of following exercises.
Absolutions — From plank go to chill cut. Back to plank. Push up. Plank Jack. That is one rep
Prisoner Get Ups Squat Jumps. — Start with knees on the ground. Plant one foot. Then the other. Stay low. Squat jump from there.

You could substitute proper Star Jumps instead of the PGUSJ. A proper star jump requires the pax to touch their toes and then explode from there.

The Workout:

We ran to the abyss. The pax did not let me stay in the front this time.

We did 11 at the abyss. At the top we started with 10 absolutions and at the bottom one PGUSJ.

Mary:

We ran back to where we started. I was back to being in the back. It felt like home. We circled up for Mary.

Mary was nothing but a plank hold. We held plank as we went around in the circle. I wanted to hear what each Pax was doing different this year to achieve our goals. Having goals are great, but we do not achieve them my sitting around. We have to get up and get outside our comfort zone to make a change. I heard a lot of great things. Working on sleep habits. Less hemming and hawing about committing to workouts, improving communication with accountability partners and no more taking it easy on EC.

Have a nice day finished things up for us.

Announcements:
Basketball AO in Raleigh?? I think this is where it is located.

T-Claps (Recognition):
