March Badness

For some, March brings happiness, joy, and hope in the sports world. For others, it brings sadness and pain. This is the season of March Badness.

0530 on Monday in the Snoball’s parking lot, let’s get to it.

Warm-up
SSH IC x 15
Merkins IC x 15
At this point, the PAX questioned the pace of the warm-up. Perhaps, YHC still had the adrenaline flowing from the QvQ show put on Saturday by SA and Short Sale.
LBCs IC x 15
Imperial Walkers IC x 15

The Pledge

Mosey to the start of the street beside Snoball’s.
Mosey down the road with a stop at each light for 5 squats.
At Gastone’s Hill, we’d cover the BAD in BADNESS.

Mosey up the hill stopping at each mailbox for 1 Burpee.
At the top, 16 American hammers IC
Mosey down the hill and stop at each mailbox for 1 Derkin.
B-A-D

Continue to mosey down the street to the end still stopping at each light for 5 squats.

Mosey to the Food Lion parking lot for the NESS portion of BADNESS and Four corners
Lap 1

Lap 2

Escalating Big Boys x 15 (see, we escalated)
Squats x 20

Had to return Whoopee back by 0600 so he could go do his SCA-thing so 4-corners cut short.

Stop at the mini wall in front of the abandoned bank for Step-ups and Dips

Then over to the abandoned bank parking lot for 11’s.
10 Mike Tyson’s / 1 Jump Squat
Repeat until 1 Mike Tyson / 10 Jump Squats

Mosey back to the flag with 15 seconds remaining.

Old Weinkes Still Pop Up From Time To Time

I’ve had many Qs over the years. I like a good ‘theme Q’ and try to come up with stuff that I like or that I think will be fun. A few standout in my mind as my favorites and I like to bring them back from time to time. As I was walking the dog on Friday, I started thinking about this workout and decided to bring back the Trail O Tears. A little research took me back to March of 2019. It was a bit of a revenge Q to try to put as much pain and suffering as possible on the PAX of Folsom. I decided to bring it back and see how it holds up. 10 men were present for the $h!t Show!

Warmups – some stretching, Side Straddle Hops, Moroccan Cherry Pickers, and a few other things…I was fumbling a bit as I tried to stretch it out to waitng for a few late arrivers. Let’s mosey!

We make a quick run to the old dog pound. Everyone grab a block and rifle carry it to the courts. Set them in the corner, we’ll use them later.

Route 66 Mike Tysons – Lunge Walk the courts. Do reps at each sideline, increasing Mike Tyson up to 11 reps. Wirenut called an exercise for the 6.

Route 66 Low Squats – Bear Crawl the courts. Do reps at each sideline, increasing Low Squats up to 11 reps. Bat Dolphins were encouraged to do Jump Squats or Jungle Boys. Ball Joint took me up on that offer. I couldn’t see the other side of the courts to see if anyone else did, but I’m pretty sure GearWrench did NOT.

A quick break to work on abs and rest the shoulders for a few minutes. On your butt for 2 circuits of:
LBCs – 20 IC
Flutter Kicks – 15 IC (and at a slow pace)
X-Crunches – 10 OYO (been a while since I have done these, they hit hard!)

Grab your block

Carry the block across the courts. At each sideline, do 10 curls and 10 overhead presses. Squat thrusters were given as a Bat Dolphin option, but I don’t think anyone took me up on that. Wirenut called an overhead block hold as the 6 finished up.

Carry the block back across the courts. At each sideline, do 10 kettlebell (or cinder block, in this case) swings and 10 bent over rows. About halfway through, I hear those famous words – “3 minutes Q!!!!”

We shuffled back across the street to return the blocks and then moseyed back to the parking lot. Time!

Prayer Requests: Wirenut’s mom and 2.0, Ratchet’s 2.0, Huck, Chubb’s friend and child, Tooth Fairy 2.0, all of the PAX dealing with ‘life’.

Good work this morning men. It was great to be back in the saddle and Q’ing at Folsom again this morning. Without much running planned, I was dreading the cold and wind this morning. Fortunately for us all, the weather wasn’t quite as bad as expected and I was actually stripping layers when we got to block work. I think this workout has held up over time pretty well. You’ll be seeing it again.

10 X 3 40/20

YHC has had an old Tire in the back of the yard for a few years.  T-Square gave it to me. Unfortunately I have never had a way to transport it until now. I loaded up the Taco with the Tractor Tire and began writing my Weinki.

Went a little Pain Lab style this morning.

10 exercises per round,  3 Rounds,  werk for 40 rest for 20.

One person in the group is always flipping the tire. At the end of each round we did Burpees together.

The Tire made its way around the group through the group and sometimes like an easter egg a few pax tried to hide it.

it was a great werkout. After each round we sprinted skipped or karokeed depending on what I wanted to call.

I also had a Set list of Tunes and the mumble chatter was very NIce if I do say so myself.

When all was done 30 exercises with focus on arms legs and abs.

Remember Men be creative with  your Weinkie, all Weinkies are different. Some are long and simple. Some can be short and complex. Whatever your Weinkie is be proud of your Weinkie.

 

The Bed Pan is Full!
