Dump or Super Bowl – Both Stunk

/in /by

22 Pax gathered in the smelliest part of Holly Springs for a Monday morning beatdown. Q was a little upset with the result so made sure to take it out on the Pax. Very few Pats fans showed up but I doubt they could handle it anyway.

EC: 187, Cowboy, Crosby, UTI, Full House, Pablo, Pikachu, Dawgpound, Skidmark

Warm Up: Mosey for one loop with stops to do Good Mornings, SSH, and Windmills. Once back at the court Pax paired up by ability and speed. It was only logical that Dawgpound requested to be Lucky’s partner. Somebody needed to make sure we gave Lucky a push. Kudos DP.

The Workout: Catch me if you can partner runs. 1st loop 2 Double Merkin Burpees. 2nd loop around 3 squat jumps. 3rd time around 5 merkins. Once at the end circle back for the 6 doing 5 LBCs.

Mosey to the ramp for some 7’s. Reverse merkins at the bottom and star jumps halfway up the ramp.

Mary: Merkin clock with stops at 12, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 12.

Announcements: See Pikachu’s announcements on FB and Slack. Nothing new.

Prayer: Shredder, Dumbo, Brexit, Emeril

I’ve never seen lights worn like that

/in /by

Wow. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, South Wake loves virgins…Q’s that is. 30 Pax posted for a virgin Q this morning by Aquaman.

New light vests should come with instruction on how to put it on. Said pax had the lights somewhere down around his groin area and through his legs. I think there was some concern with it not staying on his shoulders.

Welcome FNG Boogie

Warm Up: Slight mosey to the bottom of the ramp for SSH x 21, IW x 10, Hillbillies x 10, Fozio Arm Circles forward and reverse, Chinooks, seal claps and over head claps at 10 cc
The Workout: 3 groups of 10 for Indian runs. At each corner do 5 merkins, 10 pickle pounders , 15 LBCs, 20 Hillbilly Squats. Try for 3 loops. Also add in 2 double merkin burpees every time the first pax in the line got back to the front.
Mary: Skidmark led Mary for 30 cc Freddy Mercury’s, 15 cc Boxcutters, Protractors, and finish with some plank hold exercise
Announcements: See announcements on Slack and FB. CSAUP long ass run 2/9 start from New Hill on ATT. Valentines Day challenge. Phones and devices away from 6-8.

Is Lipstick a Super Hero

/in /by

Where does Lipstick really go when he disappears? Has anyone seen Superman and Lipstick in the same place? No. Batman? No. Spiderman? No. Lipstick may be fighting crime instead of dropping a deuce. Does anyone really have to poop that much? I can’t imagine the toilet paper budget in the house.

Regardless, 23 Pax posted on a slightly chilly Monday morning. I’m hoping the SW presence at Carpex was good and we were well represented.

10 for EC: Dawgpound, Full House, Emeril, Chips, Crosby, Double Donk, Cowboy, UTI, Peeping Tom, Skidmark

Breathtaker present

Warm Up: Pax were already circled up some Q let with some SSH. As Pax began a car wondered into the parking lot. The level of urgency was in question so Pax continued SSH until and unknown joined the circle. Pax did SSH x 60 and then 5 burpees OYO for the late Pax. A quick tutorial was given on Indian run that the Pax must reach the front before next Pax goes. Indian run for one loop with stops to do Good Mornings, Sir Fozio Arm Circles, Chinooks, Goofballs, and Moroccan Nightclubs.

The Workout: Big Winners today!! Triple 7’s! 7 burpees at the top of the ramp, 7 burpees at the bottom, and 7 runs up the ramp. Total = 98 burpees. Modify to merkins if needed.

Mosey to bottom parking lot. Partner up. One partner run and other do squats and then change to merkins.

Mary: Q provided a brief tutorial on the correct form for Imperial Walkers and Hillbillies. Engage the core. Did each in cc of 15.

Plank exercises all 10 cc. Regular, Right arm up, regular, left arm up, regular, parker peters, pickle pounders – recover

Announcements: See Pikachu’s announcements on Slack and FB. New announcements: R4TJ needs a Q Wednesday. Contact UTI.

Prayer: Bufird, Ausfart – released from hospital, Double D, Raleigh P.O.

Q took the group out in Prayer.

The Workout:The group divided into two teams because of size.  Team 1 on the Pain Stations, Team 2 on alternating dealer’s choice exercises.

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
