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.
