It was YHC’s first Q as the new Site Q of The Sandlot. I usually like to come up with a theme for the Weinke if for nothing else to keep myself entertained. Since this was the beginning of a new Site Q era at The Sandlot, YHC decided to take it back to when it all began. I found the Weinke from my first Q at the Weds Martha’s House workout (whatever it was called at that time) so I decided to go with that. Upon looking at workout, YHC decided this sequel needed to up the ante.
YHC arrived to find several PAX stretching and ready to go. After planting the flag for the first time and watching several PAX roll in hot, it was 0530 and time to go.
The Pledge
Warm-up
It had been 2,412 days since that original Q so that would inspire the warm-up counts
SSH x 25 (OK, so 24 isn’t a typical number to stop on so I forgot to raise the inflection on 24)
LBCs x 24
Merkins x 12
Imperial Walkers x 12
Mosey past Plant Fitness to the Food Lion parking lot. The original Q was done in the empty Harris Teeter parking lot which is now the busy Planet Fitness parking lot so for safety reasons the sequel modified the location.
Partner up. Partner 1 ran 4 corners around the light posts while Partner 2 completed exercises.
Exercise 1 – 200 Lunges
Exercise 2 – 250 American Hammers
Exercise 3 – 300 LBCs
The counts were doubled from the original Q so we had to Omaha at certain points for time consideration. It was also during my first lap that YHC noticed the notecard with YHC’s Weinke which I’d casually laid on the ground had been stolen. This would not serve as a problem.
At this point, we moseyed to the far end of the Food Lion parking lot. 20 Floyd Mayweather’s were called (doubled from the original Q), but there was discussion about the appropriate execution of this exercise. Here are the official definitions from the Exicon. The PAX can determine what they think…
Floyd Mayweather’s
From a basic plank position, raise one hand off the ground and punch across, behind and under the opposite arm, keeping the core stabilized. Complete in cadence and switch to other arm. Add a small dumbbell or brick for an extra challenge. Can also be completed from a Knerkin Plank position.
Nolan Ryan’s
Start in a side plank position with your ungrounded arm extended. Complete a punching motion as if someone, namely Robin Ventura, were under your other arm.
Another round of 4 corners, this time with 200 Merkins, 200 Squats, and 200 Flutter Kicks
To the wall for 20 Hip Slappers (doubled from the original Q)
Back to the parking lot for a round of 11’s. Was planning on 22’s with Merkins and Squats, but due to time constraints, called 11’s with Hand Release Merkins and Jump Squats
Mosey back to the flag.
Quick round of Mary, Birthday-Boy Flintstone called flutters (I think) and Short Sale called Peter Parker/Parker Peters.
