Never Have I Ever

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

YHC raised his hand to fill in for Norm yesterday afternoon when he needed a substitute Q.  I was hoping to get a chance to Q this week but the Qsheet was pretty full for they days I wanted so I was in luck when he needed help.  I wanted to create my own BRR friendly workout which, evidently, is a confusing concept.  To me, BRR friendly is easy on the legs.  Gotta save them for later this week.  With that in mind I formed together a loose plan in my head and figured I’d sort the rest out as we went.

FNGs:

None today

Warm Up:

Quick lap around the track and then circled up for:

Good morning x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Daisy Picker x10 IC

Willie Mays Hayes x10 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbilles x10 IC

The Workout:

Moseyed down to the first parking lot island and lined up.  The idea was to crab walk 4 spots, do an exercise, crab walk another 4 spots, another exercise, 4 more spots to the end, and another exercise.  Then we flipped over and bear crawled 4 spots, did an exercise, etc., etc.  Rinse and Repeat.   The exercises were:

Crab:

Crab Cakes x10 IC

Crab humpers x10 IC

Crab jacks x10 IC.  Fram was adamant that never in his life had he done these before.  Good thing he ruminated on it later or else we would have completely forgotten Name o Rama. “Never in my 42 years…hey, wait…”

Bear:

Shoulder taps x10 IC

Merkins x10

Nipplers x10 IC

 

After those two laps we went down to the rock pile, grabbed a rock, and circled up around the picnic tables for some upper body rock work.  With our own rocks first we did Curls for the Girls x10 IC then put the rocks down and did 10 Irkins.  Rotate one rock to the right and do triceps extension x10 IC and 10 dirkins.  Rotate again and 10 IC overhead presses and then 10 dips.  Next rock over got 10 bus drivers IC and another 10 dips.  Rotate and 10 chest presses on our six followed by 10 dirkins.   Last rotation was 10 trunk twists and 10 irkins.  Then we did the whole thing over again but this time rotated rocks to the left.

Once we got through two laps of that we partnered up and did two sets of 10 roman situps (hang off the end of the table, face down, holding the rock on your chest and “sitting” up using your back) with the rocks per partner.  After that we ran over to the playground to do 10 pullup OYO because we can do that again.  Once those were done we went up to the nameless brick building to do 10 count BTTW by each PAX.  Then off to the tennis courts

Mary:

LBC Circuit.  10 IC regular LBCs, 10 reverse, 10 with knees on the ground to the left, 10 with knees on the ground to the right.

LSF x10 IC

Announcements:

Prayer:

Audible Action at The Ballfields

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

It’s been nearly 3 weeks since YHC took the Q. For me, that’s a pretty long time and a good amount of time to cook up some great plans for beatdowns of all kinds. YHC had a great plan for what we would do at TBD this morning.  With today being the IronPax work out and the usual R4TJ offerings, I knew I had to come up with something quite different.  Just started the EC trek up Stinson when I saw Nemo rolling in, so I did a U-Turn and grabbed him. During our EC on this awful humid morning, YHC scrapped his previous plans in an effort to not kill any pax or himself. Those plans will be a fall workout.  Everything but warm ups were audibles today.

FNG’s: not today
Warm Up: SSH x25, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Fazio Arm Circles, Daisy Pickers, And 25 Standard merkins.
The Workout: Mosey to the dugouts by the ball fields. Started with a 30 ct. IC Balls to the Wall, then mosey to the poles at the end of the path for 5 burpees. Pax then moseyed to opposite side dugouts for People’s Chair 30 ct. IC, followed by a Mosey to opposite poles for 5 star jumps. We repeated this procedure 3 times with wall exercise counts descending to 20 for round 2, and 10 for round 3. However, exercises at the ends increased to 10 then 15 burpees and same with star jumps. Finished with an every pax 10 count of People’s Chair.

Next did 30 merkins in honor of Bondo’s oldest child. Nemo told Bondo to answer age 2 for fear we would do more burpees. Did 21 squats on the same note for Sprinkler.

Mosey to the rock pile lot for 11’s.  Exercises were Ground Pounders IC and WW1’s. We alternated taking the rock with us or leaving it behind on each pass. Finished up and moseyed back for Mary.
Mary: Not much time, so finished with a 10 ct. each pax plank hold.
Announcements: Mulch, couple weeks to go.  CARPEX CSAUP invite is out there.  Virtual BRR.
T-Claps (Recognition): Bondo! That guy keeps up with everything we do. RESPECT!
Prayer: Tetanus nephew with liver issues and healing.  Healing for Tetanus and back issues right now.  Coal Ash father in law with colon cancer. Moby and his family member now in hospice.  Those that are jobless. Those that are addicted.   Hope and freedom in those places.  YHC took us out.

I like big tires and I cannot lie.

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

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Mosey towards rock pile, large circle around the island. SSH IC 20, Imperial Walkers IC 10,  Hillbilies IC 10, Moroccan Night Club IC 10, 5 burpees for late PAX, Mosey back to tires.
The Workout:  YHC explained how the tire exercises would work. There were a few audible mumbles after explaining each exercise…but no questions.  Once the ME starts neither rocks nor tires touch ground.  Only if Q of group calls exercise to include the coupon, was it allowed to touch the ground.  So during the rotation PAX had to pass the coupon to the next group.  5 burpees per drop to be tallied up and done at end…a few more audible mumbles.  After a quick count off in groups of three we sent Group 1 to the Tires. Group 2 to the Rockpile and Group 3 went on an Indian run.  2 Rocks per PAX. This is was a shared leadership experience. Rock exercises from each PAX calls exercise for reps or cadence. Too many to list but the normal staples were done (Curls/press/row/abs/forearm) until Indian run group relieves. Group 1 got 3 rounds of Rocks exercises in. (the goal was 4 but time did not allow) Rock Group sprints up the parking lot and relieves the Big Tire Group.  Big Tire Group. 3 PAX per tire.  For each exercises the tire only touches the ground for #2. 1. Tire press / Squat Jumps (touch tire) 10 reps (modified hold above head or at chin if too heavy to press) 2. Flip & Drag Tire from cone to cone / Abs (2x) One PAX flips tire up to next cone then other man drags it back. The PAX that aren’t flipping or dragging do abs awaiting their turn. We found this one to be very challenging and needed to pick up the six on occasion.  3.Bench Press & Rows / plank hold IC 10 count One PAX benches tire while other PAX rows, odd man out does a plank hold IC.  4. Shoulder shrugs / Derkins 10 reps (not sure if any group got to this one due to time). Indian run group (timer group) middle circle ,stop sign down to main parking lot then down to the rock pile circle.  They replace Rock group, Rock group sprints up a replaces tire group, tire group does Indian Run. Repeat cycle.

Mary: 35 burpees for dropped coupons during the workout
Announcements: Banks Road AO starting back up on Mondays. Continue to sign up for spreading mulch at Bass Lake. Come out to the Nest for continued CO-Q Duel.
