Extreme Kotter Q

Been way to long since I’ve Qd let alone posted,  so I made sure no excuses this time! Rolling in to Folsom a little early I could see there was already a decent crowd, so I couldn’t take it easy!

Warm up:

 

SSH

Don Qs

Grass/Cotton pickers

Pledge

Head to tennis courts, before we got started Hacksaws FNG found the right parking lot and joined us ( this will also come into play later)

The Thang:

10 of each SSH  Squats Merkins Bigboys LBCs the run to end of court and back for 9 of each exercise keep counting down to 1 then count back up to 10.  As time winded down we stopped at the 5 on the way back up.

I shared a brief Kobe work ethic story before we circled up for  a Kobe tribute Mary! Each Pax called and exercise we did 24 reps! All was going as planned and then we get to Hacksaw who as I figured called burpees! So we grunted and muscled thru them, but his FNG is next and says  “well I was told to follow him so we’ll do some more of them things he did !” This instantly was a crowd pleaser. After about half of them and a few pleads from my left I called an Omaha on that and we finished  up. Back down to the flag as I called 22 for the vets, cause I wasn’t gonna pay tribute to ball player without paying tribute to our veterans also!

Circle up:

Named the FNG Dusty

Prayers for Gumby, Round Up, Bedpan, LB and several others.

Moleskin:

I shared that Me vs Me  usually results in the lazy Me winning and that we need to try a lil more than reaching out, that sometimes we need a push. I know I do! Iron sharpens Iron  is more than just words!

 

Gastone’s Forklift Safety

At Labyrinth dreams C A N come true !!

Timeframe started out by asking yours truly who had Q and what was in store …. well, I informed him that I ( Clavin ) had ideas in store but that I failed to be smart and when Outhouse asked yesterday at Bulldog and said that he would be traveling next 6 weeks !!! He wanted to Q and i was still half asleep, but when I awoke after that workout I tried repeatedly to reach him only to be snubbed and blocked and then the FBI showed on my doorstep with cease and desist orders…. I finally took the hint!
Timeframe looked up into the sky, saw a star over to the left and wished he may, wished he might, suddenly ALL pax joined in and began speaking in tongues and wailing until Outhouse sauntered out of his truck, Listened to all the pleading and gladly accepted the bribe of $42.37 in order to wrestle the Q from YHC… he did throw me a bone and told me that “ I would have no choice but to provide the backblast!”
I led the pledge and very humbly bowed in subservience to the new lord of today’s beat down…. Outhouse!!
SSH IC x20
IW IC x20

Partner up ( except I was once again told that since we had an odd number I would not be allowed to join in any activities until a vote was held and Outhouse was narrowly outvoted but I was to be placed under HIS supervision for the remainder of all partner exercises today along with his CHOSEN partner of Gastone) pax 1 ( and 2 in my case) were to bear crawl around Snoballs while Pax 2 runs around to catch and release the others until we circle once and mosey over to Planet ( not yet) Fitness for Dora
Pax 1 up dock and bear crawl down
Dora was 100 merkins
200 lbcs
300 squats
Hip slappers IC x20!!!! Really ?!?
Indian run the complex
Wall sits … marching …. air presses
Line up for 4 corners
25 merkins at first light 50 lbcs next pole
Be careful of all the construction toys ,,,, so we travel different path to next light pole ….
Then Gastone leads all in Forklift safety by trying to KICK a forklift over …. he didn’t even make a dent in the damn thing ….. SWAT ARRIVED ….. we had to present identification … I was forcibly thrown into the back seat as once again Outhouse chose to act like he did not know me ( thankfully someone must have vouched for me as I was released on my recognizance And allowed to resume …. 75 squats …… it was suddenly noted that we were at the Port O potties ( outhouse?) and so we all did at least 10 more squats and chose NOT TO WIPE! And complete 100 sSHs at last light … go back to wall ….. ughhggggh …. more wall shits … sits…. sorry! Back to Snoballs and we nur red building twice for … TIME!
I now show a video of Tommie Davis ( Chicago Bear) who … if you have not looked at Tweet from EZ rider other day ,,,,, CHECK IT OUT!! We site Qs had been tasked by Broke to bring a bible verse to share and had one ready , but felt that this 1:53 video was more worthy and needed nothing extra… powerful message…

The Thang

Mosey down the street to the center of town and cross over railroad tracks
Ran around the buildings and to the back parking lot where we did Walls of Jericho: 7 different exercises and complete 7 reps of each and run one lap around the building. Complete for 7 laps.
The following were the called exercises:

Jumping Spider
Merkin with a bounce on the up (getting feet & hands off the ground)
E2k
Elbow to knee
Russian Twist
American Hammer, but I needed an “R”
Imperial Squat Walker
Cruel cousin of the Imperial Walker, squat between each elbow to knee
Crunchy Frog
a Dr. Seuss favorite, too bad he missed them
Happy Jacks
5 side straddle hops quickly followed by two jump squats
One-legged burpee
Not enough exercises start with “O”… this was a crowd pleaser

At some point during the rounds Broke noticed that in keeping with the theme of sevens, we had 7 PAX.
While the mumble-chatter was at a minimum, there was an attempt to skip one of the rounds, but Red Ribbon kept us honest.

Let’s start the mosey back towards the middle school. The Q checks the time and decides there is time for a little wall work.
5 Dips in cadence, 5 Derkins OYO
10 Dips in cadence, 10 Derkins OYO
15 Dips in cadence, 15 Derkins OYO

Continue our mosey back to middle school.
We cruise into the parking lot and we are done!
Great work put in by all.

Who Passed the Gassers?

8 showed at Midoriyama ready to get better.  Let’s get started. SSH IC x 12.  Wait a minute, here comes Leppard and Blart, whenever you can get here is fine.  Toy Soldiers IC 12x, Don Q x 10.  Pledge.  Mosey to small soccer field.

YHC came out a few mins early and placed a few coupons on the field.  A few blocks, a few bricks, a ruck sack with 30 lb plate, barbell, and tractor tire.  Also placed a card with an exercise at each coupon station.  Barbell had flutter kicks while holding barbell over chest, curls with a block, LBC with bricks on chest, ruck sack swings, burpees, iron hulk with bricks, blockies, shoulder press with a block, and hand release merkins.  Start by each PAX taking a station, the PAX at the tire flips it 5 times, everyone else AMRAP until flips done, rotate.

Once everyone gets a turn on the tire, line up at the base line of soccer field. Sprint to the other end.  We did this 10 times.  After about 4, no one could talk  Six more to go.  After 10, go back to a station, this time around tire flip goes to 10 flips.  After everyone gets a turn, to the line for 10 more gassers.

Adding sprints like this to any workout takes it up a notch.  After 10, back to stations.  This time 15 tire flips.  After everyone gets a turn, back on the line.  We only had time for one all out down and back.

Put coupons away and head back to flag.

Announcements: get name, address, email and phone # to Watts Up, Ruck training at Folsom Saturday morning 0530, 5 year anniversary convergence March 21.  Probably be 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Prayer requests: Lynn Hamm and family, Swimmer father in law, Freight daughter with flu, YHC m with strep.  Let’s pray

Always an honor

Tiger
