16 men showed up for a Gastone Q of pain. Nice temperature outside this morning with a nice size crowd ready to enjoy a nice weather day at the beginning of Winter with no rain but 8 feet of snow on the way. We had a little talk of the Carolina/Clemson basketball game until..

The Thang:

Interrupted Mumble Chatter to start the Q at 5:30am with 10 Diamonds

Pledge

30 SSH (Hushpuppy entered on the 3rd count but always catches up)

10 Carolina Dry Dock

30 Imperial Walker

10 Wide Arm Merkins

Follow me for a little Mosey to The Hill of Village Ridge.

Plank with some 6 inches mixed in and a little 12 inches, then right arm up and right leg and switch while the 6 gets caught up.

Then Backwards to the top. It’s a long hill so this always is a crowd favorite.

Plank and then 10 Diamonds

Mosey to the bottom of the Hill for Plank, Plank 6 inches, Plank half way down, etc.

Lunge Walks to first road on left and plank

Karaoke Left and Right to the next road on the Left. (At this point we were missing 2 people so Hushppy and Spiderman headed back to try to find them.)

Duck Walk to the next road on the left.

Backwards Run to the top. Then Plank.

Headed back down and collected Hushpuppy and Spiderman and maybe one other along the way but KFC was not to be found.

Mosey back the back entrance short cut to the park and then to the overhang with picnic tables.

Everybody on there backs with feet six inches off the ground then 90 degrees. Hold

Then we did 3 sets of 45 count first at 90 then half way down, then 6 inches.

Holding feet in the air still we did 30 3 count flutters Recover (Everyone really seemed to enjoy this part thus far)

Next 20 Dips 3 count

25 Flutter 3 count

30 LbC’s

15 Dips

Mosey back to the parking lot.

I picked up the 6 so as I got back some squats were going on as I arrived they finished so I noticed we had 1 minute left and that seemed like a good time for 10 Burpee’s. Hushpuppy suggested that they should have not stopped the squats.

Moleskin:

Overall a great morning with an awesome group of guys. KFC’s truck was no longer at the parking lot when we arrived back and I do hope that he does come back and joins us. I hate loosing a guys and everyone should keep in mind that the workouts can get hard but nobody is judging you and you should go at your own pace.  It takes time to get in shape and can be hard but we all want you at the workout. We had 2 FNG’s Brian Gerdis (Bad spelling) Bulldog and Shaun Jones Tube. Welcome to the pax and we look forward to seeing you at many more. TK retured for another and is working hard and doing great.

Thanks everyone it is always an honor to Q!
