Month: September 2019 (Page 9 of 10)

7 men came out this morning for a Kotter-ish Q.  Every time I have the Q I hear the same thing: “Huck is going to a wall.”   Well, I threw a little curveball this morning…zero wall work.   Also threw in another new thang:  We actually went to the flag by the road.   Some good mumble chatter before we started and at 05:30 we clocked in.

Warmup: Toy Soldiers x something IC

Let’s mosey.

Pretty simple this morning.   We would stop at every light pole and do some thangs.  Started with 10, then went 10, 20 on up to 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 and 90.  The exercises were:
10 merkins
20 CCDs
30 LBCs
40 calf raises
50 flutter kicks
60 Moroccan nightclubs
70 Freddy Mercury
80 dying cockroaches
90 squats

Slow mosey back to the flag that wasn’t there at the launching point…thanks Montross.

Mary included mountain climbers, Parker Peters and Burpees

After only one week of being the newly renamed Labyrinth … a new voice spoke out clearly and melodiously out of the darkness …. he said …. “Red Rain…”

As usual we said the pledge and then I gave brief disclaimer that we will NOT be running anywhere except maybe a little run activity during the warm up and any pax seeking running should join Gastone ( seems that old college injury from when he used to alligator wrangle has been aggravating him once again). Sorry for Gastone, none would join him.
He did stay with us for the warm up where we began with 10 heel raises IC, 10 High Knees IC, 11 ( forgot count) Flutters IC, 10 Butt Kicks IC, 10 Plank Jacks IC and finish with 10 Mountain climbers IC! Whew.
On to the main event where all enjoyed me bringing out the 8 track of Peter Gabriel ( which is where we began with Red Rain) and I introduce pax to my leetle friend … the coupon … select one each! Also there is a tire with eye hook screw and approx 10 feet of rope … this is our timer where each pax takes a turn moving tire around Snoballs however they choose …. you select the method … I leave myself last in order to not influence my idea ( which was to retie rope back to hook to make a sled … I thoroughly enjoyed watching the inventiveness each chose like Buckeye who started us out by just simply picking the whole enchilada up and running … after 4 steps he was done! Stinky Bird at one point knotted everything up in a huge ball that took us 40 minutes to unwind!! Turtleman on one trip around fell asleep on other side of building Gastone must have kicked him awake but later on his last trip around exonerated hisself by doing the unthinkable …. he went for the only Double Trip around the building to win First place ( we need that medal Def Leppard … )
As to the rest of us with coupons we either Cusacked, curled, did goblet squats, swung coupon in front, Performed lower curl or upper curl, overhead press and even chest press with coupon as well as occasionally changed things up with squats merkins elevated merkins heel raises lbcs and even Fully extended leg Freddie Merck’s. I also informed all to concentrate on doing each exercise correctly as opposed to doing as many as possible!
There was s music interlude on our third song “Shock the Monkey” where we all either squatted or did jump squats and each time Monkey was said we ….. yep … monkey humpers! This sucked !

We all made three trips around and with 4-5 minutes left Outhouse called for French Fries (why?!?) Watts Up with 15 Dirty Dogs each leg and Turtleman with American Hammers… time!

Other notables from this morn was either a shooting star or perhaps another crashing airplane or maybe it was some more of Skylab coming home! Gump has a birthday celebration where he was giving away free passes to next April’s Spartan race ( all expenses paid !! You just need to sign up and give a credit card number…..)And our newest Club Med member … next week he’ll be installed officially as the site AO at The Goat …. Buckeye !!! He had a spread sheet with him and was passing out money to each person who signed up for an open Q slot… I believe he’ll be a great addition and plan to be present next Thursday at the changing of the guard ( just hope he’s not my partner again for partner squats where you link arms … my knees …. argghgghh!)

Tune in next Bat Time …. at the same Bat channel……

Labor Day is a day to Labor right?  I suggested to SA a few weeks ago that we should do a Murph and he agreed – surprisingly we were able to convince at least 17 HIMs to post on what was designated to be a day off.

It was my sincere pleasure to Q this workout.  For those who do not know the Murph – named after Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy – Navy Seal who lost his life in combat in Afghanistan in 2005.  He was killed when his squad took heavy fire and Murphy left his covered position to get a radio signal out to call for reinforcements.  In doing so he was killed in battle however he was able to get the call off and his squad was rescued.  Murphy received the Metal of Honor and has had a Naval destroyer named after him.

His favorite workout “the Murph”  involved running one mile, 100 pull ups, 200 pushups and 300 squats followed by another mile run – all while wearing a 20lb weighted vest.

I hope that in doing this workout we can all gain a little more appreciation for the men and women who serve this country daily.

Also surprising to NOT see my homie Bedpan who happened to have the Q.

Warm up

Ran to the tennis courts for some Four Corners.

Partnered up for some Dora.  Flutters For 100, squats for 200, LBCs for 300

Roadie took us up to the flag pole stopping at each light post for some burpees on the way up, Big Boys on the way down.

Ran back to start for some of Big Pappy’s special jump squats and assorted other body destroyers.

Lets all try to be missional this week as we go about our lives.

Remember that your time is just as valuable as money in the kingdom so give your time and God will honor it. Giving time and effort to your community is storing up treasures in heaven.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

If your heart is focused on trying to impact the kingdom you will lead your family with love. Loving your family means sacrificing for them. Love is an action. Do for them. Give your time and your efforts to further Gods calling in your home. It’s worth every minute.

YHC was scheduled to Q this morning at The Storm. Notification was sent out on Twitter, weinke was prepared, and YHC set alarm early for some EC. Everything was ready to go and looking forward to a good beatdown.

Tuesday morning, alarm goes off. Uh oh! it is 5:30am, YHC set alarm for PM, not AM, and if it wasn’t for the M’s alarm, I may still be sleeping. Jumped up, changed clothes, and out the door I went. That had to be the fastest YHC has gotten ready for bootcamp.

Showed up at The Storm, not really sure if anyone would still be there. Well, there were several cars, but didn’t see anyone. Parked the car, placed the shovel flag in the ground and looked around for everyone. There they were, up by the school. Sprinted to the meet them and Timeframe had taken the lead to Q since YHC was fartsacking.

Timeframe finished out the workout. We ran, did called exercises, and ran again.

Finished up back at the Shovel Flag with some Mary…..
