Last Q of My Forties

With great weather and the pushing rocks challenge there wasn’t many valid excuses not to post at Midoriyama this afternoon. 12 HIM decided to get better this afternoon.

Warmarama:

15 SSH IC

15 Gravel Pickers IC

15 Hillbillies IC

 

Thang:

Grab some blocks and head to the parking lot between the turd shack and the ball field. 5 different  exercises starting with 25 reps and 1 lap around the parking lot dropping 5 reps and adding 1 lap after each round. After finishing this up we moved to the curb for some Dirty 11’s.  10 Mike Tyson’s to start and a Blockee in the middle, Big Boy on the other side  .  Getting close to time so we put our blocks  up and head back to start.

No Shirt, No Problem!

11 HIM for a chilly morning run. Gearwrench with an 8 miler, Seuss ,Roundup and Wikileaks with also leaving early to get 6 miles in.

  As I was getting out of the truck there was some mumble chatter about short sleeve and long sleeves between Mayor and Slaw and the next thing I know Slaw is ready to go without a shirt on.  See Mayor for details if you’re interested. 2 minutes till time and we are off.  Thanks for the push men. Great work!

YHC with Q source on Accountability.

Announcements:

Prayer Request: Purple Haze mom, Gearwrench brother in law,Turtleman, Huck, my mom,Tonka

Prison Pockets and Nerf Bullets

YHC wasn’t sure if the 4th week would bring the PAX in or keep them away. It definitely didn’t keep them away and everyone was here before time. Lots of bat flippers present so I need to bring it. Time comes and this is what we did.

Warmarama:
SSH,Hillbillies, Gravel Pickers

Thang:

If you were at Midoriyama Thursday Slaw introduced this workout from the Exicon.
Gorilla Complex
With a cinder block or other coupon of Q’s choosing, PAX perform the following OYO without stop: 8 Curls For Girls, 8 High Pulls, 8 Overhead Presses, 8 Tricep Extensions, then drop coupon for 8 Merkins. Follow this up by a quick mosey for a brief upper body recovery, typically no more than 50 yards. Rinse and Repeat 8 Times.. Freight couldn’t wait to repeat this one. I will say it’s definitely harder in the Midoriyama heat.

Partner up

Hand Release Merkins. Boo yah Merkin in the middle and star jump on the other side. Counting down from 10 on each side.

11’s with Imperial Walker Squats and WW I’s on the hill in front of the police department.

YHC took us out

Great turnout today. Lots of hard work done. These guys pushed hard the whole time. I appreciate each one of the guys that showed. Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Midoriyama And Statistics

I pulled in early today to get some EC hoping to get my hamstring to loosen up some.  Defib was already out for his 5 miles of EC. No one else around so I took off. We both finished up with about 10 minutes before start and enough time to hear statistics  being thrown around about how many post you have versus how many post you could possibly have if attending every workout you could possibly attend. So your percentage may be higher than someone else that has more post than you. Statistically some of you will understand my explanation of this conversation but most probably will  not. I’m not a numbers man but I’m 99% sure can fix your air conditioner in your car.  While this was happening a FNG pulled up with a couple minute before start.  We welcome him and ask who EH’ed him. He has a friend in Hickory but was unsure of his F3 name but we think it is Happy Trees. Apparently Happy contacted our own Pizza Man and he was sent our way. Glad to have you man, it’s time to get started.

Warmarama:  Disclaimer was given and we get started. SSH, Hillbilly’s, and MNC’s waiting on Blart to eventually join us.

Thang:

With a short mosey to the lot beside the turd shack we begin with 10 hand release merkins, 10 LBC’s,10 CDD’s, and 10 squats take a lap then 20 of each exercise adding 10 till we get to 40 with a lap in between each set. A little mumble chatter about how CDD’s were named and how Freight wasn’t going to work on his soccer arms till after the SMR. I didn’t get that memo, not sorry Freight.

Mosey across the road to the parking lot for some 11’s Mike Tysons and Imperial Walker Squats there was some talk if I got these exercises from a certain canoe but I have to take credit this time. Freight confused Imp walkers for Hillbillies. He was getting the reps in quite fast

Mosey across the grass to a small hill for some triple nickel WW1 at top and Jump squats at the bottom.  With about 10 minutes to spare we head back to start for some PAX called Mary.

Anouncements: SMR needs some runners, lunch at Ray Nathan’s on Thursday 21st, whetstone site going live

Prayer request: my mom, Blart met a man that is partially paralyzed not sure of his relationship with the Lord, Broke’s MRI on Friday, I’m sure there are many other out there

Good push today men, great to have a FNG show, thanks for letting me lead today.

 

Welcome Rustoleum

 

 

 

 

Runners and a Lone Rucker

Pulled in to Crossroads to find Dr. Seuss and Roundup standing in the cold after already running 5  waiting for S.A. , Broke to come by so they could join them. Just a few minutes pass and off they go for another 5 miles.  I leave out for my ruck to find some hills to climb. Somewhere along the way Purple Haze found his way to Crossroads running from his house. Wirenut got in some work too. It was good to see each of these men this morning.

Slaw and Sparky joined us for QSource to go over chapter 5 of The Way of the Sheppard.

Announcements: Community Foundation run, / Speed for Need will also be there. See Broke WLMS 5k Sparky’s M’s school both on the same weekend Saturday April 9th. Support these runs if you can.
