Spatchcock

A couple days after Thanksgiving was a good time to take the Q. I was almost guaranteed to post….and I could make sure at least the Weinke would be tough. Hopefully I could keep up my end of the bargain as the Q and not modify too much. Sargento promised to show which led to one of our new exercises called the Spatchcock. Keep reading to find out about this.

We had a pretty good showing for the boot campers. A few had come for some EC running but Dr. Suess/Buckeye had to leave before the bootcamp started. That’s ok, they put in some miles while I was sleeping. I will say there was no question about whether they should get credit for the workout, but as the Q, I’ll make sure they get credit. Maybe that will encourage them to stick around next time…..

Disclaimer, Pledge, WU then we were off. Sorry Hermey, we got to go. Hold down the fort for the PainLabbers. We moseyed up to Grier parking lot for a quick summary of what was on the menu: today would be sponsored by Flying Squirrels, Triple Nickels, and a Spatchcock. We got started with our first round of triple nickels: Flying Squirrels and Jump Squats. We moved on to First Presbyterian Church front circle with another round of Triple Nickels (insert eye roll here): Flying Squirrels and Bonnie Blairs. At this point there was a brief discussion as to whether we were doing Bonnie Blairs or not but I don’t remember what really was said. Move on to next round of Triple Nickels over at the steps by the PAD: Flying Squirrels at bottom of steps and Spatchcock at the top. Insert funny look and all together: WHAT’S A SPATCHCOCK? Sargento is having in-laws over for Part Deux Thanksgiving and was cooking another turkey in the spatchcock fashion: basically squash the turkey so the legs and arms are laying on the side with no backbone which allows the entire turkey to cook faster and more evenly. This is an exercise I kind of made up for today: lay on your back, arms and legs in front (sort of like a Sandy V) then move arms and legs together to the sides then back to center IC. I gave bonus points for yelling “spatchcock” with each rep-good job Sargento, you got 7,000,000 points.

If this does not make sense, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to bring it up again either at WU or as an exercise next time I am Q.

Time was getting short so we moseyed to Sunrise Hill (according to Sargento) which is the big hill off New Hope Road near the VA center/building. At the bottom we did Flying Squirrels and at the tippy top we did Mountain Climbers. This was tougher than I thought but we pushed through it. At the top was a sign on the steps that read: PLEASE STEP UP….so we moseyed over to the 7/11 which has a wall so we moseyed over to do some step ups…..and then came my M. She was out doing something (probably Christmas shopping for me I am sure) and yelled out the window that I had yard work to do and to get moving. What could I do? You guessed It, it was time for some Monkey Humpers. My kids got a kick out of that so the rest of the weekend I was treated to my girls doing monkey humpers instead of whatever I asked them to do.

We moseyed home to start with a brief stop along the way then made it there in time for a brief Mary then finished up with COT. It’s 2 days later and my legs are still sore. I think Sunrise Hill will be part of my Weike for the next few Qs I have at GasHouse. Thanks for showing guys.

Whoopee
