Hacksaw/ Round up Q!

 

Today was awesome! Myself and my dad Hacksaw had the opportunity to lead 24 rock pushers today including 3 FNGs,We were both thinking of what to do and we wanted to make sure we kept everybody busy and pushing the rock for a solid hour. This is how we done it!

Warm-up

20 ssh ic

15 monkey humpers ic

20 merkins ic

Mosey towards the flag, on the way stop at each light pole with merkins and burpees.

pole 1 10 merkins/ 5 burpees

pole 2 20 merkins/ 6 burpees

pole 3 30 merkins/ 7 burpees

pole 4 40 merkins/ 8 burpees

Get to the flag we get the pledge then circle up the PAX and hit 2 rounds of:

10 Merkins,20 LBC and 30 Squats

While we were in a circle dad wanted to get 5 reps BOC’s in (Blood On Concrete) and 10 X crunches IC

Mosey to the parking lot across from ag building time for some dirty elevens with Mike Tyson and Mountain climbers with blockees in the middle. Finished those up and hit about 50 ssh and 25 Imperial walker squats while we waited on the 6.

Mosey back down towards the bottom shelter with Hacksaw taking the lead we hit 5 burpees and the speed bump with 10 merkins and 10 mountain climbers at each pole. There may have been more burpees I’m not sure by this point me and dad are both jacked up and the PAX was looking good so we were rolling!

Get to the shelter Hacksaw breaks out the tunes and calls out 10 Derkins,20Dips and 30 American hammers with a lap around the parking lot hitting 10 jump lunges and 10 imperial walker squats in each corner sprinting the long sides and bear crawl the short sides. We done that about two rounds and Huckleberry says first rule in Q school is we end on time so I get dad and the pax and we mosey back to the shovel flag.

Announcements: CSAUP coming up February 23 sign up by feb 16.

Prayer Request: There we several and I’m sorry I didn’t get them on paper but we all should be praying for each other and the families.

I want to thank God first for everything he has done for us all to have the freedom to workout each and everyday with our F3 brothers.He has blessed us all by giving us hope through his son Jesus Christ. Man F3 is a big part of Hacksaw and my life now and having the opportunity to step up and lead this pax was awesome! It was an honor and a blessing for me and my dad. We look forward to the next beatdown in Folsom!

God bless you brothers

Hacksaw and Round up OUT!

The return of the Negan / Clavin

This weekend marks the return from the midseason hiatus for the show walking dead and I also used it as a return not only from the flu for myself coming back from the dead but also returned from taking a one month hiatus from Qing. Planned it but the flu through the monkey wrench in this weeks works and  have to wait till I was sufficiently recovered. I’ve been married a good number of years and could tell from my wife and her expressions during December that she probably felt like I had Q Ed little too much and I chose step back for the entire month of January as promised her.  This Also gave me a chance to regroup plan for future events and to watch as a great many others being inspirations and stepping up to queue for the first time…. and I got to witness the likes a Buckeye yesterday downtown working out to the smooth stylings of Lawrence Welk ! Who would’ve guessed that he loves Sinatra as well?
Whether or not you’ve watched any of the show The Walking Dead you undoubtedly notice it’s influence on television good or bad. It is been my favorite show for a great number of years primarily for it’s uncanny ability to shock repeatedly. One of the most diabolical characters ever to grace silver screen or the small screen is the character of Negan ….. either love to hate him or hate to love him! One of his favorite items to use as a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire called Lucille! Today I re-created my own with an aluminum bat instead of wood as noted by sledge o matic used razor wire from Halloween to wrap its ends. I also donned my “ this is my Walker killing shirt” complete with blood stains…… now on to the show!
At the end of the previous season of The Walking Dead all towns were decimated from a vicious war range between all the factions. Leader of the good side Rick Grimes finally bested Negan but he chose let him live which was NOT very well received by the rest of the groups! He remained in prison until the mid season finale and now tomorrow he is loose again!!!
To represent our rebuilding in the aftermath there was a tire pull as our timer … pulling it back-and-forth four times at least until Hipaa had to add weight to really add to the ‘drag’ …. This  simulated the group going after the covered wagon in the show during this season. Also present right there was Lucille for swinging!
Next up and had a variety of kettle bells for kettle bell swing followed by station with bricks that we were using to represent the rebuilding of the walls of Alexandria. Exercises here with a merkin single arm raise each side lateral raises the side and front.
Also this season there was a huge flood that wiped out the bridge all the communities and in a major rebuilding effort all factions got together to rebuild it …..we had two 4 x 4‘s one 4 foot the other 4 1/2 feet that we would squat with or while on our six we would press above…. some choose to use both for the extra challenge.
We must not forget the walls of Hilltop  so we had coupons and we were doing overhead presses as well as curls to rebuild those walls.
Let’s not forget the devastation that occurred in sanctuary……. so now we have the slam ball pretty obvious as well as a 10 pound ball with handles that we either passed from hand to hand clockwise rotation around the body also many used it to clean press above their head.
Lastly let’s not forget that we need to dig for some of these bodies so we have dumbbells simulating in a. shovel fashion. And some where during workout  my M decides to text me a Starbucks order thinking that I am at the Sunday run  out where the Starbucks is located in the Harris Teeter!!
Approximately the halfway point we broke away and shuffle zombie like fashion …..I’m sorry walker fashion across the parking lot and back doing launch walk squat. Today’s music selection had two of the songs used for the last two years of video footage promoting the show one from the band called future royalty the other Rival Sons…. song titles take what’s mine and the other was doing your worst… The rest of it put in Nirvana and Motley Crue and end it with the majority of Rob zombie/white zombie as he tends to epitomize the appearance of the apocalypse and it’s denizens! Approximately five minutes to spare Boot Camp crew arrived and I choose that time and I am one for an exercise using the slam ball where the crew gathered in a circle pass off the ball to the next person if in that passing the ball is dropped … five penalty Burpee‘s if you personally drop it you only have five penalty Burpee‘s. All went well until Hipaa intentionally dropped it Voodoo look like his puppy had been kicked Hipaa with a broad smile gladly fell down to is five Burpee’s…. and then it was “on” as the ball was being pitched across to others to see just how far this will go!!!!
Yo Adrian did announcements also warmup before all this and prayed us out !!!
Til the next zombie ….. errr walker apocalypse ……

The Hills Are Alive

Word got out that Tiger had one of the Q’s today and whole group decided it was a better idea to go all the way to New Orleans.  Wise decision.  Safe travel to you all and good luck in the races.

For those of us who decided to stay home and step out on a Saturday morning, here’s how it went:

Pledge.  Mosey up Nichols hill and back down Myrtle street to corner of Stowe Park.  Q calls for some hill work.  From Main to Central up Myrtle street is a hill.  Hills are not fun.  Let’s do it.  Eleven utility poles on left side. At each pole 10 merkins, back to start of hill for 10 squats.  Go from start to next pole, rinse and repeat at each utility pole.  First few not too bad, but the last about five were tough having done the hill so many times.  At last pole stay at top of hill

Mosey to Davis Park.  Modified triple nickel.  Five step ups each leg on picnic table (that’s 10 total for Midoryama goers)  then to park for five pull ups, run up the hill for five merkins.

Got about 10 minutes left, mosey (up another hill of course) and back to Stowe park for Mary.  Go to Yank.  Time.  Really tough workout today, way to push the rock men!!

Q spoke a moment on Galatians 5:22-23, Fruit of the Spirit, and how important being disciplined is in maintaining a healthy spirit.

Announcements: CSAUP upcoming in two weeks, 2nd F at Wild Wing Café the afternoon of CSAUP time to be determined, rooster, looking for another runner for P200, 2nd F on Fridays on Main Street Belmont at Station.

Prayer requests: Pizza Man M, Top Hat and family, brother from Lake Norman who committed suicide – his family and friends, others who struggle with depression or problems, brothers traveling to New Orleans and their families, this week Pax Anchorman, Virus, Swimmer, Broke, Gold Digger, Roscoe, Bed Pan, Linus and families
