Nimble Minds

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

FNGs: None in sight
Warm Up: SSH, daisy pickers, fazio arm circles, seal claps, the flapping bird thingy.  Mosey around a downtown loop with more traffic than expected, then off to the parking garage.

The Workout:
Started with a leg focus by lining up along a parking space and doing Baryshnikovs (squat followed by a one-leg jump), 10 spaces.  Not particularly acrobatic or graceful, but got the job done.  Duck walked back.

Moseyed to the stairs.  YHC was a little too eager and took the PAX all the way to the top of the steps, then had to retreat back down a level to get to the top of the parking deck.  At that level PAX lined up along a parking space and completed three lunge walks followed by a copperhead squat (prisoner squat with a three count on the down) down the length of the deck, then 25 calf raises OYO.

Time for some upper body focus.

PAX lined up facing the opposite direction and went about half the distance of the lot doing bear crawl merkins (three lengths of bear crawl followed by a merkin with arms staggered).  Around half way PAX switched to the Dirty Harry (crab walk with full extension of the stepping leg; not exactly sure what that has to do with Clint Eastwood) to the end of the lot.

Moseyed to the rock pile for a full set of Jack Webbs (to 10 merkins, 40 presses) with rocks, interrupted by one arm curls (X 10 each arm) and one arm triceps press (X 10 each arm).  Some decent mumblechatter but very limited counting by the time we got to 10.

Mary: Returned the rocks and headed back to the start for core exercises, including low slow flutter, dying cockroach, diamond merkins, homer to marge, plank jacks, crab jacks and others that YHC is forgetting at the moment.

Finished with a short focus on healthy minds, including a minute of silent meditation followed by a cross-lateral exercise that’s focused on communication between the two brain hemispheres.

Announcements: Not sure – YHC was retrieving his cell phone – see Slack and FB

T-Claps (Recognition): All the PAX that showed up this morning to continue getting stronger in the new year

Prayer: None spoken, CHIPs took us out with a hopeful message for the new year.

It was a pleasure to lead.  Aye!

Mary Poppins

PAX: , , , , ,

YHC knew the rain would be involved at Paradise City for today’s workout. Time to get creative bc I hate getting soaked during a workout. Pulled in at 0540 to 1 car in the parking lot. I looked up and here comes Pikachu running across the parking lot holding 4 golf umbrellas as YHC asked him to bring. I had 5 myself. One more car rolled in with a couple mins to spare. 4PAX were ready to roll…then we see a white truck approaching follow by another car. We waited with umbrellas up as they parked. No late burpees penalized as YHC was feeling jolly. They looked at us funny when I said grab an umbrella though. This was a Mary Poppins workout. Here’s how the fun took place.

Warm Up:
Ramp mosey up/down while holding umbrellas
Top (reg) – one handed smurf jacks x20 IC
Bottom (slides) – one handed mountain climbers x20 IC
Top (backwards) – one handed imperial walkers into Hill billies x10 IC each
Bottom (carioca)- gorilla squats x10 on my up and down

The Workout:
Head to top of ramp
Box jumps and one armed dips holding umbrellas
X10 each 3 rds
Peeping Tom took a spill but was ok

Indian umbrella run to guard rails
One armed irkens w/U x10 switch arms
Monkey humpers x10 IC
3 rds

Mosey to tunnel – put down umbrellas
Ascending and decending testicles with shoulder taps x10 IC @ 30, 45, 90
LBCs x15 to let our shoulder recover
then 90, 45, 30 degrees legs on wall
Reverse LBCs x15 IC

Partner up
P1 holds Al Gore on wall
P2 bear crawl out of tunnel with umbrella (3 legged bear) to designated spot and back
Switch
Repeat but with duck walk
The plan was to stay dry and do mary in the tunnels but Lipstick busted one and we all came close to merlot. So thanks to him we got our backs wet.

Mary (Poppins)):
w/umbrellas
– 4 corners x10 reverse R&R x10
– H2M x10, 1 legged x10, switch
– Windshield wipers x10 IC

Announcements:

T-Claps (Recognition):
No one merloted from Lipsticks bomb releases.

Prayer:

This was a fun yet challenging workout while holding an umbrella most of the time. Hope those that attended enjoyed it.
Always a pleasure to lead.

F3 365

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

2019 was the first year that YHC has tracked workouts consisently. Early in the year the goal was F3 250 (250 workouts throughout the year – half marathons count as 1, marathons count as 2, 4+ hour CSAUPs count as 4, black ops runs with F3 brothers also count, nothing else does though) but fairly early on I gave myself an additional stretch goal of F3 365. I’m fortunate enough to have lots of time to work out based on where I’m at in life, and double downs could be a freuent occurence on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The only concern was work travel – a long trip to Europe in the spring put me behind early and I didn’t really catch back up until sometime over the summer. It was in the fall that I became confident that I would hit the goal, but I didn’t actually verbalize it to anyone outside of my M until sometime in the past week.

It made for a heck of a year. The biggest thing I’ll say is that we have a ton of amazing pax down here in South Wake – if you’re one of them then thank you for an awesome year. If you haven’t been out to some of the more niche AOs (looking at you Tea Time, Thunder, and Ground Pounder) then I would highly recommend it – not all of the fun happens at 0530 on a weekday morning!

I don’t know what my goals will be for 2020, but I know that repeating this will not be one of them. I’m sure I’ll come up with something stupid though.

Based on all of that – I elected to Q Cletus knowing that I would be really close to 365 (ended up being 364 because of a fart sack at Paradise City that I got so excellently called out for) but we were still committed to 365 reps for the workout.

FNGs: None today
Warm Up:

SSH x10

Half lap over to old Ivan lot

The Workout:

Rep count = 10

 

Four corners on soccer field

 

At each corner – 5x double merkin burpees

10x Turkish getups

10x Breakdancers

10x Star jumps

When passing pull-up bars – 10x pull ups

 

After lap 1 rep count = 160

 

Between laps we did 10x IC balls to the wall at the amphitheater. We also modified the 2nd lap swapping out star jumps for merkins for the sake of Shamwow’s ankle.

 

After 2nd lap rep count = 320

 

Mosey back to tennis courts, line up on near line. Bear crawl across, crawl bear back, with exercises at each end:

 

Breakdancer x10

Diamond Merkin x10

Scorpion dry dock x10

LBC x10

 

Rep count = 360

Mary:

5 double merkin burpees OYO to get us to 365 reps total

So I have to poke fun that Cletus indeed gets a younger Q, unfortunately the previous Q can put most 20 year olds to shame and we will just have to see about the new Q, although I expect him to at least carry on the impeccable cadence and count that you have come to expect!

As a side note, Poop Eater and UTI were in rare form, and brought much comic relief to the workout.  Yes, I do think it’s appropriate to group Poop Eater and UTI antics together.

Thanksgiving Convergence

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

With Thanksgiving feasts on the horizon, 32 PAX wanted to make sure to start the day with a caloric deficit so they wouldn’t feel so bad about blowing it out of the water later in the day (or at least that’s how YHC felt).  With an hour long workout ahead of us and three mystery Q’s no one was quite sure what to expect.

FNGs: Welcome Captain Planet!

The Workout:

Pikachu started off the morning’s activities by announcing the first mystery Q, everyone’s favorite reason to have it burn when you pee, U.T.I.:

When did Thanksgiving become the holiday that just wouldn’t end!?  I thought I had made this amazing/awesome feast for everyone at R4TJ.  I just got this whole mess cleaned up. I knew there was some mumblechatter about the day of Thanksgiving.  Cletus 3x in 3 days, 3Qs at Tiger Blood or even flag football. It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have said anything…  I overheard the conversation and said “3 strikes is a Turkey in bowling” Apparently that was enough to ask me to set the table once again.  I do make a mean Turkey… but this is different… A CONVERGENCE!?!? I mean that could be HUGE – It’s the whole freaking extended family! At R4TJs Turkey Day, Chris (you remember – that guy that moves like lightning) assured me that there would be 2 other cooks in the kitchen but there was a catch…  He wouldn’t tell me who. I mean Emeril would be a big help but… you know… celebrity chef and all… Would he even show? I know he has a new gig something called “I’m On It!” – must be one of those Chef saves the day in a crappy restaurant reality things… I guess I would have to wait and find out.

I arrived promptly at start time.  There was talk of appetizers (about 3 miles of food was offered, just something light to get started but a bit more than typical) – I was planning on saving some room for dessert so I just showed up for the main course.  As you can imagine, it’s the holidays and with everything mostly shutdown there aren’t many options to get your fill. I counted 20 heads when I got there and more were filtering in from their appetizers. Final count was 32 as we gathered for the meal.

I was up first, the other 2 chefs were still unknown – probably still cooking up their best offerings.  I had prepared, had an idea, wanted to play on the bowling concept that got me into this mess in the first place.  Who am I kidding, bowling alley food for Thanksgiving!? Scrapped that and realized that I was the first course. I had to ease them into it.  It was a simple and recognizable offering, didn’t want to upset the pallet. Here is the recipe in case you liked it. Just keep in mind, as my friend Alan pointed out, you’ve got to let these ingredients rest a bit before you add the next one.  Otherwise your guests get a little cranky about the results…

  • 10 Burpees OYO – I didn’t plan to use this ingredient but Jaron (comic book character complex) and Florence insisted.
  • 30 SSH
  • 30 Frankensteins – I need to work on these, timing was a little off and Cousin BJ made sure I knew…
  • 30 Windmills
  • 30 LBCs

Big crew for dinner – I thought it would be best to split everyone up into 3 groups and seat them together.  Just more manageable – We split up in the front and made our way to where the first course would be served. There were Indians (aka native Americans) at the first Thanksgiving.  Theming the party is always fun and engaging your guests can really make the day memorable for everyone.

  • Indian Runs with 10 guests run to their table.

The main course was kind of a build your own.  Some basic ingredients were provided but guests were asked to push themselves and create a dish to remember.

  • 10 guests at each table, each group at a different end of the large oval-shaped venue
  • 1 to 5 social guests got to run the perimeter of the Oval as fast as they could, greeting the 20 that they weren’t seated with along the way.
  • The leftovers at the table got to focus on an ingredient of their choice while their friends were away being social.
    • My table did some American Hammers, Low Slow Flutters, Pickle Pounders, and I went out for some social time so I’m sure I missed something on the list.  Great work at the table – very delectable stuff.
    • There was a friendly new guy at our table too.  Talked a bunch! Glad to have that kind of energy at the celebration.

I know I started out griping about being asked to make another meal on short order but sometimes I think I just like to complain.  It’s always a pleasure to serve the family. Just as I was starting to really enjoy hosting, the 2nd Chef was tapping his tall glass of water (dude really enjoys some high quality H20) for everyone’s attention.  It was time for me to handover the apron.

Aquaman:

QIC Aquaman circled up the PAX and never let them go.  Today’s exercises were brought to you by the letters A, B, and S.  YHC can’t remember the exact specifics of everything we did but we started with protractors with the Q calling out the angle while PAX took turns calling out a 10-count all the way around the circle.  Rinse and repeat with LSF and then again while holding various plank positions (regular, chill cut, right arm up, etc.).  At Potts’ request we ended with Boat/Canoes with variations mixed in as well.  I’m sure I missed stuff but just know that everything was ab focused and there was a lot of mumble chatter regarding it.

Our third and final Q was none other than YHC himself, 16-bit:

Having received a text from Pikachu Wednesday morning about Qing the last 20 minutes of the workout didn’t leave YHC much time to plan.  I didn’t know how many people to expect but I did expect a fairly large group.  And I got that group.  I spent the night scouring the official exicon for new exercises that would accommodate a large group, took notes, allowed room for modification, and was satisfied.

Not yet breaking the previous Q’s circle the group started with Crowd Pleasers.  These consisted of an x:x ratio of merkins and groiners.  We started with 1:1 and worked our way up to 5:5 and then back down to 1:1.  These seemed to live up to their name and I look forward to incorporating them in to more workouts.

After this we moseyed around to the other side of the parking lot to make use of the curbs.  Admittedly things got a little messy here because the curbs weren’t equal and there was some confusion but I think, overall, it went well.  We started with inch worms.  Feet against the curb in full plank position PAX slowing inched their hands forward until they couldn’t reach any further and then inched their feet up until they were back in full plank postion.  Continue this until the other curb and then work back towards the other curb.

Next up was modified ascending curb crawls where we started with our feet on the curb and performed a derkin, bear crawled to the other curb and did another derkin. Bear crawl back to the originating curb to do 2 derkins, etc.  We did this until we did 3 and 3 because they sucked and it was hard.

The last exercise at the curbs were broken wheelbarrows.  PAX partnered up and wheelbarrowed from one curb to the other.  The broken part of it was that the partner holding the legs only held one leg.  Partners switched after they crossed the parking lot.  Each partner took two trips.  These also sucked.

Mosey back to the original circle location for our last exercise.  Someone thought it was time for Mary, but not quite yet.  The last exercise YHC had planned was a Circle Burp.  Per the exicon, everyone in the circle started chopping their feet while PAX around the circle called to do a burpee.  As fun as this sounded I don’t think anyone wanted to do 32 burpees so YHC modified and just called out when to do a burpee.  I don’t know how many we did but it wasn’t too many.  However, had I known I was going to get so much Jane Fonda related hate during Mary I might have just had us do burpees until time was out.

Mary:

Staying in our circle we started with Coolers.  These start as a side plank on your forearm and done IC.  On one we lifted our top leg up towards the sky, two brought it back down, three brought our top leg’s knee to our chest, and four took it back down.  10 each side.  Bring on all the Jane Fonda references.

Afterwards we went on to sleeping hillbillies and American Hammers.  I might have done more but honestly can’t find my notes or remember.  We ended with Happy Thanksgiving, aka Have a Nice Day.

Announcements:

Christmas party on the 14th, Frosty CSAUP on the 9th.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Aquaman and U.T.I.  for helping bring the pain in their own ways this morning.  I know, for myself, it was challenging planning a workout not knowing who else was Qing and what they were planning but it all came together nicely.  These guys did an outstanding job in helping everyone clear some waist line space for the impending feasts, especially Aquaman with all his gut busting ab exercises.

Prayer:

Our brother Wallaby is going through hard times right now, struggling with substance abuse.  He and his family could use our support so if you are able to help in any way I’m sure the family would appreciate it.  Hardy has the flu which is no fun ever but especially during a holiday.  Continued prayers as well for Quiver and his family.

 

I know I speak for my fellow Qs when I say that being chosen to have the opportunity to lead this workout was an immense honor.  I’m thankful for all of you on this day where we reflect on the blessings in our lives.  I count each and every one of you among them.
