Surprise Gastone is the Q!

12 men showed up for a chilly Downtown Q with Spider-man. But as he was still arriving Gastone started the workout with some warm up as the last few dragged into the workout. After quick conversation Spider-man said you can just take it because he felt bad. So with applause and cheers I gladly took the Q the rest of the way. Stroganoff seemed the most excited.

The Thang:

SSH 25

Imperial Walker 20

Follow me for a little Mosey down to South Marietta st and Second Avenue intersection.

Partner up. Partner A run to the stop light at Franklin and partner B run to the blinking red light at 3rd Avenue. At the top of each of those hill do 10 Crossfit Merkins or hand release Merkins. Come back to your partner at the middle and preform 20 Partner Merkins(Hand Slap Merkins). Switch sides after and rinse and repeat 3 times.

Mosey to the parking lot beside 2nd Avenue.

Partner Wheelbarrow to the other side of parking lot and back. (Crowd favorite we will have to do more)

Lunges to the other side of the parking lot and back. (Now we have switched to legs)

Mosey with a pause in the middle for crowd control to the bottom of the hill on South St and 4rd.

Plank with 6 inches and we held for 30 seconds. Not to bad as we work to get everyone to be able to do a good form plank for 2 minutes.

30 Sumo Squats, then backwards up the hill to 3nd. (Mumble chatter increased and Stroganoff mocked me in a voice that could only be compared to Cartman from Southpark)

20 Sumo Squats, then backwards up the hill to 2nd.

10 Sumo Squats, the backwards to up the hill to Franklin.

How convenient, we are right beside a great little wall that we can take advantage of with a little more fun.

20 Dips on my count

20 wall jump ups oyo

15 Dips on my count

20 wall jumps oyo

Mosey to the park before the Pavilion for 6 Minutes of Mary. 30 LBC’s, 20 Flutter, 6 inches (12 for Stroganoff), 20 more flutters with much laughter and might not have worked as well. Lot’s of conversation about how I knew about Stroganoff’s 12 and then something came up about Whoopee and the implant surgery.

Mosey back to Pavilion for 5 Burpee’s and done right on time.

Moleskin:

It was a good morning with a great crowd of men out to start the day off the right way. Side note if anybody is checking grammar on any of my back blast, don’t.

Announcement about Whoopee’s party that is now moved to Labor day. He is asking that everyone wear white. If you have already paid the the initial fee you can pay again and have the initial back after you attend the last party. Unless you were not in attendance then he will keep your deposit.

Prayers to all in our group that are going through something with friends or family. May God bless them in the battles ahead.

Thanks Spider-man for the opportunity to Q your workout. It is an honor as always and I look forward to the next.

Gastone out!

Soccer Arms!!

14 HIMS posted for another Pizza Man delivery.  With all the P200 training and runners now in Gashouse, I want to make sure the PAX don’t get a case of the soccer arms.  With that being said, 17:30 hit and it was time to begin.  Brief disclaimer and here we go….

Warm-up:

SSH X 25 IC (well was suppose to be but we had some guys coming in hot so we continued until they joined)

Hillbilly squats X 10 IC

Don Quixotes X 10

Enough of the warm-up, lets mosey to the soccer field to have some fun!!

Workout:

Each corner of the soccer field the PAX completed two exercises then duck walked/lunged along the end lines and sprinted along the sidelines.  The exercises were:

Corner 1:

  • Merkins X 25 SC
  • LBC’s X 25

Corner 2:

  • Werkins X 25 SC
  • Flutter X 25 (50 SC)

Corner 3:

  • Military merkins  X 25 SC
  • Freddy Mercury X 25 (50 SC)

Corner 4:

  • Diamond merkins X 25 SC
  • LBFC’s X 25 *For those who don’t know, this is a crowd pleasure*

*Rinse and Repeat*

After corner work was done, the Q offered option 1 or option 2.  The only thing was I didn’t let anyone know what the options were.  So the PAX choose option 1.  Good choice!!  We need to train for the Burpeethon coming up on April 29th!!  With that being said, the PAX completed 8,9,10,11,12 burpees on every minute.  At the end of this the PAX did 50 burpees in 5 minutes.  Great work men!! 

Now it was time for some fun!!  We numbered off for a little 7 vs. 7 soccer game, the only difference is the were no goalies and if your team gets scored on you complete 5 merkins.  It went as I thought it would with men playing sports.  At the end of the game Team 2 was the winner!!  Time to mosey back to the flag and Slaw lead  22 for the VETS.

COT– Pledge, Announcements, Prayer Request

Once again, I want to thank the 14 HIMS that showed for another Pizza Man delivery.  I am honored to lead a great group of men!!  Special thanks to Mastodon for the Streams in the Desert book, it really hits home!!  Until next delivery Pizza Man is OOOOUUUUUTTTTT!!!
