11 was the count at Midoryama on Thursday for my first Q in quite a while.

Warmup:

SSH x 20ic

Goofballs x 10 ic for Doby. I thought he would enjoy seeing these grown men dance like that.

Don Q x 10ic

The Thang:

I often offer the PAX an option when Qing. Despite what Def Leppard says there are actually options. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do so I wrote a bunch of different mini workouts on a paper and numbered them 1-7. Doby had the honors of choosing for us. Below are the options that we did but not in this order.

1. EMOM(every minute on the minute) for 5 minutes-5 squats, 10 donkey kicks, 3 broad jumps
2. 6 rounds-10 merkins, 15 v-ups, 20 squats. Those v-ups started to suck!
3. As many rounds as possible in 7 minutes-Broad jump across parking lot, lunge back.
4. 21, 15, 9(do the 21 of each then do 15 then do 9)-Burpee, WWI. Crowd pleaser!
5. EMOM-5 pullups, 10 merkins, 15 squats
6. 21, 15, 9-jump squat,  merkin

All in all I broke a pretty good sweat. I hope everyone else enjoyed it.

Moleskin:

Having been on the IR since The Bourbon Chase I have to tell you guys that you mean more to me than I can ever say. Not being able to post I quickly started to slide back into a sadclown. I’m so out of shape now compared to where I was that it’s really difficult to have to suffer through that conditioning again. However knowing you will be there makes all the difference!

Some days you push the rock and some days it feels like the rock pushes you! The rock pushing back is what I was going for today when 17 other men joined me at Midoriyama. YHC’s M was a little late getting home from work so I came in  hot and a little late. No worries Def Leppard and Pizza Man had me covered on the warmup.

Warmup:

SSH x 25ic

Don Q x 10ic

LBC x 25ic

10 Burpees OYO

Morrocan Nightclubs

Let’s Mosey!

The Thang:

Partner up and each team gets a block. SA knew what was coming and really pouted about. 11’s with a partner-burpees on one end, run about70 yds, handslap merkins on the other. Take turns carrying the block. We did this one some time back and man does it suck!!!

Stay with your partner. P1 NUR’s up the hill carrying the block while P2 does squats. rotate,  do 150 together

Round 2( I may have heard a few cuss words) this time do 100 merkins.

Mosey back to the Flag.

Wall sits with hallelujah and punches to finish it out. SA participated in some of this.

Forgot to Pledge. We’ll say they did it before I got there.

11 PAX posted at Midoriyama last Thursday. This is a little late but I’ve been busy with a little mosey in the hills. I had a brutal workout planned but on the eve of the BRR it was decided I would be filling in as a runner. So I left the fate of the workout in the PAX hands. You choose option 1 or 2? They chose 2 thank goodness! Def Leppard isn’t convinced there ever was any other option. He has trust issues.

Warmup: The usual

The Thang: option 1 will be saved for another day. Option 2 was let’s run around and I’ll make stuff up as we go. Usually these are the worst kind!

Prayer Request

Moleskin: YHC talked about training and always being able to step up when called upon. No matter if it is something physical or mental we shouldn’t need a reason to train. We should always be preparing for when something happens. Always Be Training! ABT! If you are you will be ready!

12 PAX posted on Thursday at Midoriyama. YHC is a little late on the BB due to going out of town the next morning. But hey at least it’s done before the next Midoriyama workout. I had a special workout planned for some of the bat flippers that come out but to my surprise they didn’t show. No offense to those that did I just had a few particular PAX in mind. That being said I decided to improvise and save my batflipper workout for another day. Here is what I remember.

Warmup:

Butt kickers, high knees, SSH, Morroccan nightclubs

The Thang:

NUR up and down the hill 5 times

Joe Hendricks x 3

10 Calf Raises on each step-in hindsight not a good idea before going to the mtn’s biking for three days!

Merkins and pullups

Victory march-lunge lunge Bobby Hurley

Wall sits

Step ups and tridips

Finished with 2 minutes of AMRAP burpees. How many can you do? A brother from Lake Norman did 50 in the middle of a Goruck tough after completing a Goruck heavy!!!!!

COT

Good Job Everyone!

14 PAX showed on  a brutally hot Tuesday at Midoriyama. 97 degrees on the truck as I got out. Fresh off of a beach vacation I knew I was going to pay for all the food I ate. Man it was good stuff though!

Warmup:

SSH x 20ic

The Thang:

I had everyone pair up in groups of 3 and gave them a honey do list of places and exercises they needed to get worked off as a group. These were scattered from one end of the park to the other. I told everyone to get it done and meet back at the flag by 6:15. I intentionally added more than they could accomplish but everyone gave it a heck of a try. I chose the wrong group of beast to tag along with fresh off of vacation! But if you want to get better you need someone to chase.

COT:

Announcements-most is late news now

Moleskin:

Several intentional things today. 2 or 3 to a group Matthew 18:20. Honey do list Ephesians 5:25 and 28. The list was likely impossible to complete but we don’t just lay down and give up, we persist and keep trying.
