Ball Joint’s Kotters

Ball Joint gets credit for 2 Kotters

 

Simple workout. Blocks seemed to have been the theme at most of the Midoriyama workouts recently, so YHC decided to flip the script.

 

Mosey to the dam. 15 Merkins, Big Boys and Squats then run to the gate and repeat exercises. Rinse and repeat until time.

Diapers and Jock Straps

Not sure what kind of AO Breaker Breaker is trying to establish, but the diapers and jock straps laying around in the parking lots are definitely cause for concern. Big crowd at The Storm this morning, Sister Act decided to post instead of doing Hot Yoga with the Silver Sneakers ladies group in Stanley and Ball Joint thought the coffeeteria meant Mich Ultra in the parking lot so he showed up as well. Here’s what we did….

 

Warmup

Mosey to rear bus lot by the loading docks and partner up.

I’ve learned that the PAX in F3 have trouble counting, but most know their ABC’s so we kept it simple.

One PAX does the exercise while the other runs, jumps on the loading dock, does a burpee and returns via the ramp. 2 rounds of following exercises.

– American Hammers

B – Big Boys

C – Crunchy frogs

D – Dying Cockroaches

 

Another mosey to the main parking lot and line up on the wall for 5 of a kind.

5 Hip Slappers

5 Merkins at each island

5 IW Squats at opposite end

Return to start with 5 Merkins at each island

R&R x5

 

Next up was suicides.

1st Island = 10 American Hammers

2nd Island = 10 Big Boys

3rd Island = 10 Crunchy frogs

Opposite end = 10 Dying cockroaches

3 Burpees each time you return to start.

 

Back to the start for 10 Burpees and 20 LBC’s.

The run / ruck crew at The Sword was a little lighter than usual this morning. I guess everyone followed King of Q’s Wirenut to Mt. Hollywood as he continues on his Q tour across the county. Afterwards we discussed various scriptures that teach us about self improvement.

It came down to the sprint

Good crowd at Midoriyama this Tuesday afternoon and much better weather than last week. Started off with a few stretches then took a mosey up to the parking lots at the soccer field to do some work.

 

Started out with 10 to 1.

10 Dirty Hookups then run to middle island

10 IW Squats then run to opposite sidewalk

10 Big Boys then run back to start

Rinse and repeat down to 1, but take two laps around the parking lots after Round of 6 and Round of 1 are completed.

 

Next up was 5 minutes of mayhem.

5 PF Merkins, 5 Hammers, 5 Jump Squats, 5 In and Outs then run a lap.

Rinse and repeat until time.

 

I announced that the winner would receive a prize and it was neck and neck with Defib and Wiki all the way to end with Seuss close behind. Wiki edged out Defib on the sprint finish with Freight providing the play by play and encouragement (maybe discouragement if you’re Defib). Turns out the prize was nothing more than letting the winner and second place finisher pick the exercises for the last part of the workout. Kind of a let down, but it got the desired results.

 

5 Burpee’s and 5 Dying Cockroaches at each pole going back to the flag.

 

Finished up with 3 minutes of Mary.

The Man Beside You

We say all the time that you’re not only posting for yourself, but to also be there for the man beside you. At Crossroads on Sunday, this principal was in full effect.  On the eve before what was projected to be a morning in the low teens, Mayor reached out on Slack for a “pacer” for his training run. He had two PAX hard commit to being there for him and both helped him achieve his goal. That’s some HIM stuff. Shout out to Bedpan and Wojo for the strong work and leadership by example. Freight also had a run goal he had to meet, but he took off so fast that nobody could catch up to him and pace him. He smoked his goal as well.

 

11 PAX in total for a cold run and a Qsource discussion on Language.

Prayers for Sarlaac, Turtleman, Luke Newsome, Gumby, Gumby’s neighbor, Wojo’s dad, Bubba Sparxx, Ball Joint, Seuss’ dad, Bedpan co-worker.  Praise for family of Mayor’s co worker who got good test results

Sword 12/4/23

The crowd was a little light at the Sword this week, but that didn’t stop those who showed from putting in work. 6 runners and 1 rucker in total.

 

Afterwards we discussed the meaning of various Christmas carols and the need to worship, adore and celebrate Christ the entire year, not just the month of December.

Weak Sauce in the Cold

YHC (and at least one or two more) has been battling some sciatic nerve pain for a while, so the beatdown was a little less intense than my normal Q’s. Kept the PAX moving and tried to get a full body workout in. Might have hit the shoulders a little hard. Here’s what happened:

 

Warmup

Pledge

Mosey up the main hill to the upper lot at the AG Center stopping at 5 locations along the way for 5 Big Boy, 10 American Hammers and 15 Flutter Kicks.

Line up on one side of the parking lot and do the following routine x5:

5 Mike Tyson’s

Bunny hop or Broad Jump across the lot

5 Burpee’s at the island

Bunny hop or Broad Jump across far lot

5 Perfect Form Merkins

Run back to start

 

Zombie walk to the small lot for Dora 1-2-3

100 HR Merkins

200 CDD’s
