Burn to a Cinder… Block

Since this is Spring Break, YHC was expecting a low turnout. Only knew of 4 HC. Was glad to see the Cramerton/Belmont crowd show and we have a FNG – Daniel. YHC asked Whoopee to give a proper disclaimer. That being done…

Warmup:
GoofBalls x 10 IC
Moroccan Nightclubs x 15 IC
GrassPickers x 10 IC
As two of these are Whoopee’s favorites, he protested by flopping on the ground claiming to be doing real stretching. Either way the warmup was completed…
Having arranged this for last week, when YHC thought he had the Q, Clavin brought a load of coupons with him this AM. Everybody grab themselves the block that called to them.

The Thang:
Meander with your coupon to Robinwood Crossing Shopping Center stop in front of dry cleaners

Four Corners Escalator Up– 10 Derkins (Feet on Blocks) at first corner, 10 Derkins + 20 Dips at second, 10 Derkins + 20 Dips + 30 Incline Merkins (Hands on Blocks) at third, 10 Derkins + 20 Dips + 30 Incline Merkins + 40 Coupon Chest Presses at fourth
Lots of mumblechatter on this one, particularly from our Nantan.

Given YHC is not a runner, it only seemed right to do a lap around parking lot.
Upon our return, all were a little disappointed all the blocks were still accounted for and in fact had not moved from where they were strewn from the last exercise.

Pickup your block and stack them near the wall of the old HT.
Assume the People’s Chair – Pass all the blocks from L to R and then back R to L.
Recover, shuffle positions and repeat.

Find your block and partner up for Greta 1-2-3 – 100 Overhead Coupon Presses, 200 Coupon Curls, 300 Coupon Squats – P1 carries their block to turn around and leaves it. P2 retrieves it.
YHC failed on the explanation of this one as Dirt and Top Hat left their blocks at the wrong spot on the initial run portion of this one. An error they fixed, but not without letting YHC hear about it.
Omaha’d to 100, 100, 100.

Pickup your block and head to wall in front of South State Bank.
At this point Stroganoff claimed he needed to get to work and headed off….
10 step-ups with the block (5 per side)
Return to Snoballs and gently return the borrowed coupons to Clavin’s truck.

YHC left tooooooo much time, so there was a good bit of Mary.

Mary:
Whoopee – Flutters IC x 25
TimeFrame – American Hammers x 10 OYO
YHC – Oblique Crunches x 10 each side OYO
Dry Rub – Plank for a while plus a Whoopee 15 count.
Dirt – Freddie Mercury and Mercury Freddies both IC both x 10 or maybe it was 15 or was it 20?
Clavin – YHC can’t remember the name of this. High plank down to elbows and then back up. IC x 10 or was 15? These really sucked as the pavement at SnoBalls is not good for the elbows.
Top Hat – Big Boy Situps x 10 OYO

Time!

Welcome FNG Stinky Bird.

Way to push the block everyone!

Moleskin:
It is an honor to be given the opportunity to lead. In the 3 months I have only Q’d 4 times… Still trying to get that aspect down. I want to try to be challenging while also trying new things and with the right timing. I appreciate any/all feedback.

I want to thank all for the support and encouragement. The alarm goes off early in the morning and it wasn’t for all of you, the fartsack would win.

Watts-Up powering down.

How is a running AO my first Q????

YHC pulled into Prison Break at 5:20 with Roundup already waiting and Oompa Loompa in his car, shortly after Lion King pulls up and we see a truck that looked a lot like Sparky but we knew better…. or did we?  Turns out Sparky was on time!  We chatter for about 2 minutes then we head out,  Montross, Sgt. Hulka, and Tyson were there early (thanks for the flag Montross) Oompa, Pappy, and YHC Ruck/walked while everyone else burned the road up.  6:15 is here in no time, pledge, prayer request, COT.

 

Q fail I forgot to see if we had announcements.

 

prayer request:  each other, Big Pappy’s Family, Lion Kings Friend, Sparky’s coworker’s Mom.  I hope I didn’t forget anything, if I did I apologize.

Thank you men for letting me Lead!  You guys help me more than you probably know.

 

 

No Shit!

YHC came in hot, nearly taking out Pizza Man’s car, just in time to call 25 burpees OYO, to which Broke’s response was “No shit!”. Pretty much sums up this entire workout.

We did some SSH, then moseyed across the street to the shady circle, stopping for some calf raises. Partner up for a little jog around the circle with 6 stops for various exercises x3. Round 1 is 150 upper body, 2 is 150 core, 3 is 150 lower body. Pick up the 6 and head back to the flag (stopping for calf raises of course) to get in our 25 bookend burpees.

Strong work put in by all on a warm day at Midoriyama. Everyone did 150 reps for each major body part, 50 burpees, and ran well over 2 miles.

Announcements: Mt. Mitchell hike May 5, 2nd F April 27.

Prayer Requests: Pizza Man’s neighbor’s family, people battling addiction, Boudin’s surgery.
