Welcome Back…

September 14, 2022 / / 0 Comments

First Q in a while, only second Q in a year.  5 pax enjoyed the glorious gloom for a Hushpuppy Beatdown.  1 FNG, Jess arrived.  EH’d by a friend in Atlanta, he was told “you should try one in Gastonia!” so he did.  As we approached startex, who should mosey in out of the gloom at a  swift pace?  None other than Stroganoff!

The thang:

Warmup with some Imperial Walkers, Side straddle hops and Merkins. Mosey’d to the fieldhouse at Marthas.

11’s with Merkins and LBC’s while running the length of the sidewalk.

Found some picinic tables for some dips, step-ups and derkins.

Found some playground equipment to do some pullups and calf raises on.

Played on the swings by doing some suspended crunches (hands on the ground, feet in the swing, pull your feet towards your chest).

Did some squats

Returned to the picicnic tables for more dips, step-ups and derkins.

Meandered back to startex for 5 minutes of Mary, with more imperial walkers, Flutters, Big boy situps, LBC’s and oblique crunches.

Prayer requests mentioned were:

EZ Rider, Tooth Fairy’s Daughter, Turtle man.

Welcome Jess Still, AKA Amazon!

 

It rained a little

Haven’t Q’d in over a year.  Flintstone twisted my arm, and here It is a rainy Monday morning!

Short and sweet:

Disclaimer

3 pax with 3 blocks to the bank drive through.  Warm up of imperial walkers, low slow squats, merkins, Whoopies favorite, grass pickers, and then a lap around the building.

We did an assortment of Curls with the blocks, chest presses, deconstructed burpees, flutters, lbc’s, hammers, laps around the bank, rinse (literally) and repeat.  A truck almost got hit by Nutria, and Folgers and I found out we have a lot in common.

No flag to pledge to, so played the star spangled banner on youtube on my phone as our tribute.  Short prayer and announcements.

Whoopie and  Rosco were Rucking around somewhere in the park and meandered up just as we finished up.

The end.

I like rucking.  I got a hole in my sack and my plate fell out.  I wanted to lose weight so I spent money on shoes instead of a pack and now I’m running.  I like to run.

We ran. some ran farther than others.  It was cold.  Glad the Mc’s bathroom was open.

That is all.

Q’d gashouse 10/11/19, had a blast with Roscoe and Padre.

Disclaimer, warmup,

Pledge

Mosey to lineberger park Bball courts.  Oh look, someone left some blocks and a ball.  Lined up for free throws.

3 chest presses, shoot a free throw.  If you hit it, you rotate and do 3 chest presses.  If you miss, 3 blockes, then rotate.  Rinse and repeate.  Each Pax takes a turn.  3 times of this, then mixed it up with unbalanced merkins with 1 hand on the block and blockies if you miss.  Then 5 curls and 3 blockies if you miss.  3 rounds of each. Back it out to 3 pointer, Merkins and squats, no blocks.

Finally, moved it in for some Pig (no pun intended Roscoe).  Left hand bank shot, 3 merkins if you miss.  right handed, 3 merkins if you miss.

Mosey back.

5 minutes of mary with pain lab.

collected $100 for the toilet benefit.  As promised, did burpees for each dollar earned.  I did $13 at the gashouse for good measure (to cover the $ingles).  Hipaa said something about tucking them in my shorts but I declined that offer.  Did the full 100 on Tuesday morning at Bulldog. someone owes me $13.00.

 

good times.

Some guys went to do some thing up in the mountains.  I’m sure it was fun.

I cooked the Sammich for 3 that morning.  YHC, Outhouse and Tube.  We rucked to the elementary school.  We found the stairs.  We did 7’s on the stairs with the pack on.  Merkins at the top and Squats at the bottom.  We walked to the playground and removed the packs.  We did some pullups and some more merkins.  Then we rucked back and stopped in a few spots to do some more merkins.  We got to startex and laid on the ground and did some stuff.

Nuff said.

Keep it simple stupid.  Thought about just humping it for 4 miles at a good pace but 5 minutes in I realized that would be pretty boring.  We got to Gastones hill and humped it up the hill.  on the way back down we did 5 merkins at every driveway.  We humped it up the hill, across Union road, down past the school and over to Robinwood road.  Along the way we stopped and did some Merkins, some Squats. . . then some more Merkins, and some more Squats.  We got to the Vet hospital and did some more Merkins.  Then at the Pharmacy parking lot we did some heel raises on the curb.  Then down union, through the neighborhood, back around and to the Sammich shop for COT.

kept it simple.  We hustled, we squatted and we did merkins.  At one point Voodoo may have wined about the pace.  Oh, and there was some conversations about septic tanks.

I don’t like staying on one spot.  The view gets old.  So, we moved.

After the warm up we zombie walked out of the Schiele parking lot.  We stopped at the wall for some people’s chair and arm raises.  We zombie walked and crossed the street to the Library.  Oh look, some coupons! As always, I cranked the music and we did some suck.  Partner up for Dora 1-2-3.

100 Merkins, 200 squats, 300 flutters.  Partner lunge walks to the coupons.

3 coupon stations: tire flips, 5 out and 5 back, walk back to the partner.  Station 2, bricks for 20 overhead claps.  Station 3 for 20 curls.  Walk back and switch with partner.  Do a different station at each change of the Dora exercise.

Once that was done, it was barely 7:30.  Go back to the pain stations and split up evenly to 4 stations

Tire  flips across the driveway, chest presses with blocks, curls with blocks, moroccans with bricks.  every time the tire flipper would cross the driveway, the stations would rotate, or 20 of each.

last exercise as Clavin put on his delivery uniform (he conveniently parked at the library),  we put the bricks back in the Pup-wagon.

I liked the song on the radio so we did some burpees while it played, then zombie walk to the road, cross safely, and stop on the other side for monkey humpers. About that time, boot camp came running up the road and joined us in the hump fest.

zombie walk to wall, then I asked Whoopee the moron to do some hip slappers.  20 IC.

then lunge walk some, then bear crawl to startex for some Mary.

finished off with lots of prayer requests.

Strong work.   Time for Cheese head to get a smaller shirt.  He’s lost the weight of a teenage human.

Aye!

Stop asking “How’s tha back?”

So, worked out with bulldog a few weeks ago.  it was fun.  I asked for the Q on 5/7 and it was mine.

Short and simple, I brought some blocks and some bricks.  I played some music.  We curled and heaved the blocks, we morrocced and shoulder tapped the bricks.  We did some burpees and lunges in between. At the end we did some Mary. It sucked. I hope it hurt.

The back’s fine.  How’s yours?
