Are you bad listeners or am I a bad leader?

FNGs: Not today
Warm Up: Mosey to a wall for BTW and a count off of PAX… It took us about 6 times to actually get a count off. The precedence was set for a chatty workout with nobody listening to YHC.  We began to mosey to other side of lot for SSH x15. PAX was surprised by the x15 on SSH, as YHC is known for his x50 or even x100 to begin workouts.  YHC threw a curveball on the SSH, as he called them again, but this time as 21’s.  Q calls out 2 count SSH for the first 1-5 and then 6-21 are silent. If the PAX don’t finish all at the same time in cadence on 21, repeato….Lets just say we repeated quite a few times.  We even had some OYO Peeping Lipsticks when the PAX struck out 3x for not being quiet.   We continued the mosey to another lot and did more warmups.

The Workout: Partner up and suicides across lot with peeping lipsticks.  6 suicide stops- Pax 1 goes to first and back while Pax 2 does peeping lipsticks, rotate partners after each suicide stop, until we got to the end.  Pax had a hard time understanding and also questioned the legitimacy of a peeping lipstick (turkesh getup with a star jump)  It’s in the exicon!   Next we mosey to the bus stop where YHC had coupon pain stations setup.  Partner 1 worked with coupon while partner 2 ran out and back. Switch roles and then switch stations as we rotated through 7 stations.  Stations as followed: Merkin Jack Webb with Cinderblock (2 stations) Weighted jump rope, grave diggers with 20lb mace, death march with 10lb mace, kettlebell swings 35lb, kettlebell tricep extensions 15lb. Closed out with 21s again to test our progress. It only took 3 times to nail it, Pots even turned his back to the Pax!
Mary:  Mary caught the bus and we kept the heartrate up until the end!
Announcements: June 26th Picnic at Harris Lake, Families invited, Emeril is smoking 32 Pork Butts
T-Claps (Recognition): All Pax for showing up during this challenge. The engagement, fellowship, accountability, etc has been awesome. Let’s keep this going through the summer!

FNGs:  Welcome Jukebox, future patrolman who loves to sing.  Thanks for bringing this young man out Pumpkin Spice.  Good to see your college basketball playing, former HS Hawk XC star, Cobbler, out to the gloom too.
Warm Up:  many PAX participated in VC.  Bike ride +10 miles.  PAX moist.
The Workout:  YOGA, much needed.  Look, I will simply attach a pic of the movements we executed.  Special thanks to Cancun who provided the play by play and color commentary of all the moves attempted.  I tried finding the prisoner terminology he used on this sheet I downloaded from the internet but was unable to locate the verbiage.  I will defer to Cancun for his intimate experiences.  Quite flexible for a 6’4” 260 pound dude.  Awesome.  The much anticipated spread Eagle was executed flawlessly by many.  Only a few PAX let out some flatulence.
Mary:  lots of stretching, balance stuff.  Full 45 mins of pure awesomeness IMO.
Announcements:  CSAUP, Murph, bed build, 5Ks, see Slack/FB
T-Claps (Recognition):  Happy Birthday Cancun!  All PAX killing it during May challenge.  Remember to listen to your body and REST.
Prayer:  Interrupted by geese, goslings and churlish children, YHC chided them and finished up in thoughtful, loving prayers only a seasoned parent could pull off.

Honored to lead – Dauber.

Rock Swap Fail

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

Great group out there today. Solid EC as a bunch of us stuck together on a strong pace. After almost 4 years, and countless times posting at PT when it was the only show in town on Wed, this was the first time I took the Q.

FNGs: None today, so no extra points for any PAX
Warm Up: Jog around tennis courts, circle up for exercises. All you need to know is we did Good Mornings and we did ICx20. Several other typical moves to prepare for workout.
The Workout: Moseyed around courts to select a rock that would be a good challenge with focus on bi/tri and Wonder Bras. We lined up at one end of the lot and we did bis/tris ICx20, then a run to far end where we did tempo squats ICx10. Back to rocks and repeat. Did this 3 times. Next we lined up across from an accountability partner and we did Wonder Bras ICx20, followed by a shoulder burn holding out on 10 count – Fazio 10 forward, 10 count hold, Fazio 10 reverse, 10 count hold, Seal Claps ICx10, 10 count hold, Overhead Claps ICx10, 10 count hold. Recover on the Michael Phelps. Repeat. Shredder pulled a rock swap and delivered his slightly heaver rock to me, and Cancun quickly joined the swap by trading out with me and dropping a behemoth at my feet. Staring down at that thing I had to decide if another round was in order, or if time was ticking and it was time to return the rocks. Truth be told, the plan was to be done, and so I stuck to it, but I did Cusak that piece of shit back to the pile as a show of good faith. By the way, very little chance I was gonna survive another round of Wonder Bras with that thing. Returned the rocks and moseyed down to the field house and did alternating BTTW and tempo dips.  3 rounds and nice job by Pots going 1 handed. Circled up for a quick set of SSH ICx50. Moseyed back to tennis courts lined up at one end and did merkins ICx10, Bear Crawl across court 1, shoulder taps ICx0, Bear Crawl across court 2, Nipplers ICx10, Bear Crawl across court 3, Plank hold 10 count. Lots of action out there today, lots of constant movements, very few recovery. Ended up logging 1 mile even while moving our way around the park.
Mary: Multiple rounds of LBC, Homer to Marge, 6 Hold and Low Slow Flutters
Announcements: Picnic, Fram on Q at TB, Warbucks on Q at Disney, Shredder preparing for Memorial Day Murph
T-Claps (Recognition): Everyone, all PAX really put in the effort this morning. We kept moving and worked hard start to finish.
Prayer: Fram shared upcoming travel to reconnect with family he has not seen in 2 years. Tend to forget how the pandemic might have isolated some folks and led to these long gaps in sharing time together. Shredder took us out.
