What is the abyss?

/in /by

PAX of 5 for EC and 7 for the main event were not intimidated by the early morning thunder storms and decided to swallow the DRP and show their commitment to accelerate Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith.  During the extra credit, the Q was having a difficult time deciding how he wanted to sharpen his fellow PAX.  He had a few different exercise routines to choose from and it wasn’t until Motor Boatin’ asked “What is the Abyss?” that the Q felt obligated to educate him on the landscape of Disney.

EC: Warbucks, Full House, Emeril, Deadbolt, and Pablo

Notable Absences: Midget4Life and Dumbo

Warm Up: Jog around the soccer field, circled up for SSH IC x 20, IW and HB IC x15, Fazio Arm Circles IC 10 forward- 10 back, seal claps IC x 10
The Workout: The PAX lined up for an indian run that led them on a long scenic route to the abyss.  A pit stop was taken half way to do 20 squats and 10 merkins which allowed all PAX to catch up.  After arriving at the Abyss, PAX partnered up to complete a Dora 1,2,3 (100 merkins, 200 LBC, 300 squats).  Partner 1 started his reps while partner 2 traveled down the abyss into the darkness where they had to complete star jumps (start w/ 5 and add 1 rep for each journey down).  After the Dora, PAX moseyed to the park where we completed 2 rounds of Erkins, Derkins, and Dips x10 reps each.  PAX then did BTTW x 30 count and then headed to the flag for Mary
Mary: Plank-o-rama: Chilcutt Pickle Pounders IC x10, Box Cutters IC x10, LSF IC x10, WWII IC x10, 1 legged Homer to Marge 5 on each side, Hello Dolly IC x10, Freddy Mercury IC x10, Nipplers IC x10, Have a nice day
Announcements: Deadbolt is looking for PAX to help out at the F3 table at Hope Church event, check Slack and FB
Prayer: Full House’s father is dealing with a GI bleed and friend of his daughter is critically ill with the flu, crablegs, shredder, moby’s dad, all dealing with illness, and all unspoken prayers

So Long But Not Goodbye

/in /by

Awesome turnout for YHC’s last time as Site Q at Purple Cobra.  New management starts next week with Warbucks at the helm!

It’s truly been an honor to lead and I look forward to the continued fellowship of all the PAX in South Wake even though I won’t be around anymore in the Gloom on a regular basis.  Carpex isn’t that far.

 

Warm Up: We started with an FNG and after the disclaimer we did the usual warm up lap around and then back to the flag to circle up for the following:

Good Mornings ICx15

Fazio Arm Cicles ICx15

Imperial Walkers ICx15

Hillbillies ICx15

Mountain Climbers ICx15

It was then that we noticed the the FNG had left.

The Workout:  Partnered up for wheelbarrows

Partner 1 about 7-8 parking spaces down, pause for 10 nipplers, then finish to the end of the embankment

Partner 2 switches and we head back to the start

 

We then divided into two lines and did a long Indian Run to the Jiffy Lube guardrail.

When we arrived we partnered back up again for 10 derkins, erkins, and dips while partner 2 did LBCs.  Each partner did their reps and we decreased each set by 2 until we both completed everything.

 

Mosey over to a new hill that YHC found over next to the new Planet Fitness.  We kept our partners for Burp Back Mountain.

After each group reached 100 burpees we got back into our Indian Run lines and made our way back to the flag for Mary.

Mary: WWIIs ICx15

Have a Nice Day!

Announcements:

Had Pax line up for “Catch Me If You Can Indian Run” around the track which is an Indian Run where the last guy drops and does 5 burpees, while the Pax mosey around the track, after burpees are completed the last guy runs to catch the rest of the Pax tapping the last guy on the shoulder who then stops and starts his 5 burpees while the last guy continues his sprint to the front of the line.  Went around the track twice so everyone got a turn.

The Workout: After Indian Run headed to the parking lot where QIC told the Pax to partner up for partner Merkin Wheelbarrows where P1 holds the legs of P2 while P2 walks across the parking lot on his hands and does Merkins when they reach a line, adding a merkin at each line until they reach 10 then switch and head back to start. Headed to shelter, even though it wasn’t raining, for some 11’s. We stared with urkins and squats, then did step ups(10 each leg OYO) and finished with more 11’s this time derkins and squats.

Red Barchetta

/in /by

24 at a warmer than usual early Feb edition of Disney as YHC returned as guest Q to bring back a popular workout from last year, and straight out of the F3 exicon, The Red Barchetta.  Named after a classic song by Canadian rock legends Rush, the workout is meant to get he heart rate up and keep moving.  The song, by the way, is based on an excellent short story about a time in the future when we have “motor laws” making it illegal to go joy riding in a classic sports car.  A young man gets his uncles red barchetta out from storage in a barn and heads out on the open road, through the mountains.

5 on EC Nemo, Deadbolt, Warbucks, Lipstick and Pikachu

Warm Up: Quick jog around the field, standard round of w/u exercises in the lot with a built in preview of the sequence of exercises in the main event.
The Workout: Mosey to field, take spot on the line.  100 yard dash, 100 IC SSH, 100 yard jog back.  75 yard dash, 75 IC Mt Climbers, 75 yard jog back.  50 yard dash, 50 IC LBCs, 50 yard jog back.  25 yard dash, 25 Merkins, 25 yard jog back.  10 yard dash, 10 burpees OYO, 10 yard jog back.  Took a lap around the field to cap it off.
Mary: Quick sets of standard mary exercises, keeping the heart rate going (we moved fast)
Announcements: Check your facebook and slack – lots going on
Prayer: Moby’s dad, Crableg’s friend, took a silent 10 count for unspoken and YHC took us out.

Great effort by all who posted,  That’s a deceptively challenging workout and everyone just kept moving.  Honor to lead, as always.

Which Harris Teeter is it?

/in /by

YHC was stilled filled with energy after the big Super Bowl win – that and missing Paradise City from staying up late to watch Brady hoist his 6th Lombardi trophy was the reason for this more of a limited run and intense leg and arm beat down.  We had a 2.0 and an FNG to start out.

The Windmill ICx15

Bear crawls and squats

Lunge walks and merkins
