Disney has new rides!

PAX of 11 for EC and 20 for the main event decided to post at Disney, “The Happiest Place on Earth”, to find out what type of workout Zero dollars could buy.  Q was happy to see a strong showing of men this morning, especially when they could have received a beat down from a cowboy riding a tiger or honored a VQ at the grave of our dear friend Kenny.  The PAX were unaware that YHC had explored Disney earlier this week and discovered some fun new rides (aka pain stations) for today’s beat down.

EC: Dahmer, Brony, Maybelline, Dumbo, Emeril, Warbucks, Particle Board, Blue Hen, Aquaman, ShamWow!, Pablo

Fritter Status: Brony (Fritter Eligible), Blue Hen (Fritter Eligible), LED (Fritter Quitter), Dumbo (Fritter Current), Particle Board (Fritter Current), Pablo (Fritter Current)

Notable Absences: PacMan

Warm Up: circled up for SSH IC x 20, IW and HB IC x20, Fazio Arm Circles IC 10 forward- 10 back

The Workout: PAX lined up in two groups for an Indian run that led them to the small parking lot near the community center entrance.  PAX stopped to do 20 merkins which allowed all PAX to catch up.  PAX continued in their Indian Run to the entrance area of the MCHS football stadium to do 15 each Derkins, Dips, and Irkins.  PAX partnered up to complete a triangle circuit of pain that included running over to a large set of steps (abyss’s step sister) and completing a set of Burpees at the bottom, running up the stairs and down the walkway to complete a set of Merkins and WWII,  then running over to and down a smaller set of stairs back to the beginning to complete a set of Prisoner Squats.  Reps for each exercise started at a 10 count and reduced by 1 repetition for each completed loop.  Most PAX were able to complete 6-8 loops before Q called time and headed back toward the flag.  On the way to the flag, Q stopped by a nice wall where partner#1 held “Balls to the Wall” while partner #2 did a 20 count IC of mountain climbers, partners switched places and repeat.  PAX regrouped into 2 Indian Runs back to the flag for Mary.
Mary: All exercises were done to 20 count in cadence: LBC, Homer to Marge, Low Slow Flutter, Pickle Pounder, Nippler, Freddie Mercury, Have a nice day
Announcements: Check Facebook and Slack, Testicular Cancer Awareness, Burgaw to help flood victims, looking for #HIM to help with lawn maintenance at Shredder’s house

March Madness at Possum Trot

Warm Up:  Twenty-six PAX came out on the first day of spring (low 40’s) fired up to take part in March Madness – Possum Trot style.  Inspired by Blue Hen from an earlier Q at Downtown Train, Dauber asked PAX to show up in their college team gear giving support to their favorite team.  Only four PAX brought their spirit representing UNC, Duke, Penn State and NC State by showing up in their gear.  There must have been a lot of dirty laundry or simple forgetfulness.  Not deterred, Q started the beat down on time with a jog around the tennis courts and then circling up for the following exercises:  32 SSH, 10 Good AM, 10 Vegetation Grabbers, 10 Hill Billies and 10 Imperial Walkers.  Q added some static arm stretches (L/R) across and behind the back for good measure.  PAX then headed to the Snack Shack.

 

The Workout:  PAX lined up against the outfield fence.  Jack Webbs were executed starting with one merkin and three air presses from our knees.  The count escalated until PAX reached 10 merkins and 30 air presses.  Who knew pushing air could be so hard?  Mosey to the Snack shack for 16 sec cadence count of seated chair followed by 16 sec cadence count of BTTW.  Rinse and repeat.  Mosey to the road and lined up in a single file.  PAX performed and kept a plank position or something similar to a plank while the last PAX member in line bear crawled to the front of the line.  PAX members each took a turn bear crawling until every PAX made it to the front.  Q called an audible only making it halfway up the road and had each PAX mosey to the rock pile for a medium-sized rock.  Lots of grumbling and mumble-chatter and in all honestly, Q was struggling during this “extended” exercise.  (If you cant do it, don’t Q it.). PAX circled up with rock in hand for the first set of the following exercises with rock:  16 goblet squats, 16 curls, 16 overhead presses and 16 tricep curls.  PAX side shuffled the distance of the parking lot swapping lead foot at the halfway point until they reached the large hill.  Q called a bear-crawl and then 8 dips OYO on the guradrail.  Reverse bearcrawl and jog back to the rocks.  The second set with the rocks included 16 rut-rows, 16 wonder bras, 16 overhead squats and 16 one hand on rock merkins (8L, 8R). An astute Skidmark corrected Q when he inadvertently called one-handed merkins.  Side shuffle back to the hill with more bearcrawls up the hills, 8 dips on guardrail OYO and jog back.  Q queried PAX about significance of the day (first day of Spring, officially starting at 5:58PM, etc.) and threw in 5 burpees OYO before starting next set.  Called out four PAX who had their collegiate school gear on asking them to call the next set of exercises:  Cupid called crableg grab (apologies for forgetting name); Banana Seat called for Turkish get-ups on each side and Skidmark called for the iconic Bobby Hurleys.  Dauber was too busy looking at his watch trying to grab another set in before Mary to complete the four bracket challenge and sent the PAX shuffling to the hill.  More bear crawl up and down with dips on the guardrail OYO.  Unfortunately, Dauber did not manage the clock properly and asked PAX to form up on the tennis courts for Mary after returning their rocks back to the rock pile.

Mary:  PAX held BTTW until the six.  Mary was brief with the following 10 count core exercises:  Homer to Marge, Box cutters, Freddie Mercury and American Hammers.

Announcements:  Q school Thursday at Womble, Yard clean-up Sunday at Crab Legs, Police/Firefighter hockey game, Check Announcements on FB/Slack
