YHC with the opportunity to post and Q and Thunder for the first time. Not sure what the theme is anymore, is it running, no running, some running? So i figure I’d bring them no running today, because who runs anyway. YHC dug out the shovel flag waited for the Pax to show up. Good crowd, couple surprises. Crosby either posted because he heard I was Qing, wanted to no running, or is building his strength for his marathon training.

Soaking it in

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

FNGs: None tonight – a shame given all the shananigans.

Warm Up: Mosey to the corner of the track by the white fence (wishing someone in the pavilion a happy birthday along the way). Circle up for SSH, Daisy Pickers, Windmills, and Hillbillies x10 IC. 5x burpees thrown in since the pax were chatting quite a bit (and justified because Brexit joined us slightly tardy).
The Workout: Mosey to the rock pile as it continues to drizzle on us. Pax were instructed to grab a rock they were comfortable becoming well acquanted with.

Line up each pax at a parking block. 10x IC Curls for the Girls, followed by bearly curling to the other side. At that side we did 10x IC Curls and 15x IC Overhead tricep extensions, then bearly curled back. Repeating this we added 20x Overhead press, 25x Homer to Marge (added because the pax were having far too much fun and because the rain was really coming down on us at this point), and 30x Ruh Roh.

It seemed like we had had enough of the rocks, so we returned those and then moseyed over to the pavilion in the middle of the figuer 8. But that was just a tease of try ground, because we kept moseying right past it over to the pavilion where we did:

15x Alternating left right step ups, Irkins, Derkins, and Dips

10x Alternating left right step ups, Irkins, Derkins, and Dips

5x Alternating left right step ups, Irkins, Derkins, and Dips

 

The rain finally relented, so YHC decided we were allowed under the pavilion at this point. We held People’s Chair and balls to the wall for 30x and then moved into Mary where we were.

Mary:

30x Low slow flutter

30x LBCs

30x Imperial Walkers

20x Diamond Merkins because YHC was too spent to pull off 30 🙁
Announcements:

Run the quay deferment email should be coming out soon
T-Claps (Recognition):

All of the men doing so much to maintain our community during this difficult time. It’s obviously difficult, but it’s so imperative that we keep encouraging one another and allow guys to resume working out in person at the pace that works best for their families. All of us at Thunder were clearly greatly enjoying being able to be back out working out in person.
Prayer:

Unspoken.
