PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Things happened in the darkness.
The Workout: Apparently, I learned that what happens at KungPOW, stays at KungPOW. We don’t talk about KungPOW! There were coupons, rocks, Merkin Suicides, and a long fire hose Indian Run. The rest… well, you’ll have to talk to one of the fine gentlemen in attendance that day. We did leave a lot of footsteps in the frost at the church.

What’s the count?

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

Man was it cold this morning.  I wore two pairs of gloves and still had issues with my hands (go look up Raynaud’s Syndrome).  I guess holding on to cold rocks and holding them above your head doesn’t help.  It also doesn’t help when you can’t keep count on your own and your fellow PAX are either intentionally or unintentionally messing with the count.  Thanks guys!

FNGs:

Not today.  There’s been a slew of them recently and maybe I’ll get to break one in soon.

Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Good Morning x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Sir Fazio Arm Circles x10 IC Forward and Reverse

Frankenstein’s x10 IC

The Workout:

We moseyed down to the end of the parking lot and partnered up to do Partner Plank Hops.  P1 got down and started doing shoulder taps while P2 side hopped over P1’s legs for a 10 count and then switched.  We did two rounds of this and then headed to the rock pile.

Everyone grabbed a travel sized rock and met at the corner for instructions.  We would be doing an extended 7 of Diamonds today with our rocks.  We’d start by doing 7x triceps extensions at each corner and John Cusack’d to the other corners to do more of the same.  Next was 14x Curls for the Girls with a jog between corners.  We alternated John Cusack and jogging moving forward between exercises.  We went all the way up to 28 then then worked back down the ladder.  The full list was:

7x Triceps extensions

14x Curls for the Girls

21x Rut Rows

28x Goblet Squats

21x Trunk twists

14x Ground Pounders

7x Bus Drivers

We actually ran out of time before we could complete the full round so we skipped out on the bus drivers.

Mary:

LBC Circuit x10 each (regular, reverse, left, right)

Announcements:

Frosty CSAUP December 5th.  Ruck style event exploring Fuquay and most of its AOs.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Sprinkler’s daughter actually had a varsity volleyball game yesterday.  Parents weren’t allowed so he had to watch it from his house and his neighbors surprised them by brining over food to help celebrate.  It was a bit of a return to normalcy for them which is nice and is needed, I think, for all of us.

Prayer:

Prayers for 187 and Fanny Pack’s Ms.  You men let us know if there is anything we can do for you or your families.

 

Thanks for joining me this cold morning men.  We warmed up pretty quickly once we started going.  I had fun, hope you did too.

Disney 11/5

PAX: , , , , , , , , , ,

11 men went on a magical journey to Disney World this AM @Sprinkler @Fanny Pack @Oboe @bondo @Nemo @Crab Legs @187 @POTS @Kosher @FRAM. 

Warm Up: A quick jog around the soccer field and 22 count reps of SSH, Imperial Walkers/Hillbillies, Windmills and Daisy Pickers

The Workout: We had our Friend Chesty Puller join us for a mosey down to Sprinklers truck for some coupons before we took a trip to the abyss. Once we arrived at the abyss we partnered up for a very exciting Dora that consisted of 100 merkins, 200 squats, and 300 LBC’s. When partner 1 was going to the bottom of the abyss for a ladder of burpees partner 2 would chip away at the exercises. Everyone had to take a turn, taking chesty to the bottom and bringing him back up, many coupons were also transported in the process. Took a mosey back to the parking lot for mary.

Mary: Circle up for some more 22 count exercises of Low, slow flutters, Freddie merceries, and some side plank reach throughs.

The point of the exercise was to simulate how it would be to carry someone on the battlefield if they were injured as we are on the verge of veterans day. A small reminder of the price some had to pay to keep our country safe and to protect our way of life.

Announcements: Winter CSAUP planning in the process will be a ruck style event that will span some of the AO’s in the Quay. Looking at the weekend of Dec 5th or Dec 12th. Details to follow soon.

Crab Legs had a great message to share about the importance of all the efforts that we have had around ALS research and how it is making a huge impact on his life as well as the lives of others.

Prayer: Keep Crab legs in our prayers, Fanny Pack, and his wife as she is working through some medical issues and for our country to move forward on a positive note regardless of the election outcome.

It was a cool drizzly morning.

He loves me, he loves me not..." [Original] : awwnime

Can you believe that with everything going on in the world right now the most “heated” debate this morning was whether or not a certain section of Judd parkway had sidewalks?  Almost refreshing, actually.

YHC looked at the Q Sheet this morning and noticed that no one had signed up to Q this morning.  Crap.  I really should be a better site Q it would seem. No time to really plan anything this morning so it was a make it up on the fly kind of day

Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Daisy Picker x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Imperial Walker x10 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

The Workout:

Mosey down to the concession stand area and grabbed a piece of the knee wall for two sets of:

Step ups x20 IC

Irkins x10

Dips x10

Dirkins x10

Afterwards we grabbed some wall on the building.  We did People’s Chair and Balls to the Wall with each PAX giving a 20 count during the first go round and a 15 count the second time though.  Afterwards we headed over to the little hill between the fields for 11s.  We did squats at the bottom and star jumps at the top.

Once done with that we moseyed back up to the tennis courts for a round of what I’m now calling Crab Boils.  Starting at the side line of one of the tennis courts we crab walked to the same line on the next court over where we did 10 Crab Cakes IC.  We crab walked to the next court where we did 10 Crab Humpers IC and finally crab walked to the next court to do 10 Crab Jacks IC.  We took a bit of a rest at the end.  A rest in the form of Jack Webbs.  1 merkin and 4 air presses progressing up to 10 merkins and 40 air presses.

After that we did a Crab Boil back across the courts until we got back to where we started.  Our rest on this side was Batwings.  We were supposed to do 20 IC reps of forward arm circles, reverse arm circles, seal claps, and overhead claps but YHC’s shoulders were on fire (based on the smoke coming off of them) so we audibled half way through to only do 10 reps of seal claps and overhead claps.

One more time across the courts, this time starting off with a lunge walk to the next court, 10 squats, duck walk to the next court, reverse lunges, broad jumps to the next court, forward lunges, and frog jumps to the fence.  At that point it was finally time for…

Mary:

LBC circuit to start.  10x IC each of regular LBC, reverse LBC, knees to the left, and then knees to the right

American Hammer x10 IC

Pickle Pounders x10 IC

Box cutters x10 IC

Reverse box cutters x10 IC

Announcements:

Holly Springs Half coming up on 11/14.  Looking for volunteers to man aid stations and also for a sweeper.  Check Slack for details or reach out to Pikachu.

Frosty CSAUP being held in FV this year and will be a ruck style event, moving between most of the AOs in the Quay (sorry Sheepdog). More details to come, reach out to Breach if you impatient.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Great to see Kubota out in the morning again!

Prayer:

187 and Fanny Pack’s M’s both dealing with things.

Kubota has a 2nd interview today for a position that, if goes well, could end up with an offer before the end of the day

 

It was a beautiful morning this morning and I was glad to be able to spend it with such fine men.  I hope everyone had an equally great morning regardless of whether you slept in or visited one of the lesser Wednesday morning AOs.
