CHiPs Word of the Day

Disruption-to interrupt the normal course of something

In the heart of a man inertia will reign–absent a Disruption (F3QSource)

Be a Disruptor like Jesus.  Read Luke 13:10-17 to see how Jesus was a Disruptor after he healed a crippled woman in the temple on the Sabbath.  This did not go over well with the synagogue leader who yelled at the people in the temple, saying “there are six days for work. So come to be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”

 

*The PAX were so worn out by the workout, or maybe it was the cold, but we totally forgot name-o-rama.  Sorry I dropped the ball on that one, but what’s funnier is that no one even noticed until we got to DD for coffeeteria.

#QSwapWeek is upon us and with that YHC took up the mantle to kick it off with a proper Carpex inspired beatdown for the South Wake fellas.

 

A whole mess ‘o guys showed up for EC, and then the rest of the Pax assemble for the ME, 32 by the count (1 FNG in the mix) as all are now physically, mentally, and emotionally part of the greatest free men’s workout in the nation.

 

Let’s go.

Warm Up:

–       Up the back driveway to the lot for GM, SSH, Mountain Climbers into a left arm up and right arm up, merkins to wrap it

–       Mosey on over to the back lot and get some curb for Quick feet and curb merkins at 10, 15, 20

The Workout:

–       After making our way back through the stadium and to the front lot, partner up for DORA 1-2-3 (100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 LBC’s)

–       Oh, almost forgot to mention, YHC is doing the entire beatdown in a 20 lb vest in honor of our Breathtaker Challenge bros. Beefy.

–       After the DORA, snake the pax through the lot and get ‘em in a big circle. With help from 1 Carpex bro and 2 South Wake bros, it’s the circle of pain. 10-1 on merkins, squats, LBCs and lunges. But wait… there’s more… back up to 10. Like I said, beefy.

Mary: –       Move the pax over to the basketball court for merkins (yes more), box cutters, homer to marge, dying cockroach, bonnies torture and have a nice day. We’re done.

Announcements: Q-Source, BRR Relay info 1/22 at Blackdog, Q-Swap this week

Prayer: Buford surgery today, Ausfart

–       Tclaps to Skid Mark and 187 for joining Funni Bonz on Pick up the Six to talk about Breathtaker and the Fritter Foundation. Give it a listen here: https://soundcloud.com/f3pickupthesix/pick-up-the-six-skid-mark-and-187-ep-18

Everybody Knows Me Marshmello

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

Meet in the bandshell to listen to some Marshmello.  I guess we also decided to workout.  It was an upside down pyramid where the high reps where the base.  Jump ropes made a comeback.  This kept the heart rate up.

There was some mumble chatter at one point in time, but then a apple fritter was offered to shut the pax up.  Yet at Dunkin no one wanted the apple fritter.  I did though discovery the reward for the South Wake triple.  The apple fritter.  Now I just need some good workouts Wednesday and Thursday to be the rest of the “fritter”.

Also we may be doing Name O Rama Wrong.  Stated from Chips is the book says it should be Hospital Name, F3 Name and age.  We tried fixing it with a second Name O Rama, but there was one pax that refused to change.  I won’t name names, but it was Emeril.

Warm Up:

Quick run around the soccer fields to pick up anyone who was lost and wanted a good workout.

Glow Ball

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

Dawgpound posting for Blue Hen


Warm Up:

The Q welcomed the two FNG’s (Tailpipe and Homie) to the group, short disclaimer, and then it was time to get moving.  After a few up and down running the hill near the basketball court the PAX were lead to the Salmander HSHM Finish line ramp.

  • Boat Canoe X 20 (Fan Favorite)
  • Little Baby SSH X 20 (The old Q had some low mumble chatter about winging the Q… c’mon man you know better)
  • Good mornings X 20
  • Merkins X 20

The Workout:

From the bottom of the ramp broad jump burpees were called out.  An audible was called to stop half way and run up to the top of the ramp.  Plank hold for the six and we were off to the wall.  People’s chair Indian run for one round and then a group run down to the basketball courts.

Everyone got in groups of three while the Q ran to get a glow soccer ball out from the bush it was hidden  in prior to the start of the fun. When Q’ing I enjoy trying out new things.  Crab soccer was a success and the PAX has enjoyed Ultimate Frisbee so Glow Basketball made sense to introduce.  The PAX dived into three groups.  Group one would run around Ting park.  Stopping at the bottom of the ramp for 10 burpees, top of the ramp 20 merkins, and top corner 10 more burpees before returning to the courts.  The other two faced off on an intense game of Glow Ball.  Rules: Double full court (either basket on each side counted), no dribbling or running with the ball, if the ball hit the ground, everyone did a merkin and the other team got the ball, if a team scores, the other team had to do a burpee (there were not many scores).

Observations from Glow Basketball: 1. The Southwake Pax have very limited basketball abilities 2. Dawgpound brings the intesity just like Ultimate 3. The SouthWake Pax can’t jump 4. Playing basketball in the dark makes it very difficult to know what team you are on 5. Emeril should stick to hockey.

After each group did their run around Ting park that was a wrap with 10 minutes for Mary and COT.

Mary:

6 inch leg hold (10 count) right into 33 inch leg hold (10 count) right into 45 inch leg hold right into American Hammers (10 count) right into Freddie Mercury (10 count) right into boat canoe (10 count).
