It was YHC’s first Q as the new Site Q of The Sandlot. I usually like to come up with a theme for the Weinke if for nothing else to keep myself entertained. Since this was the beginning of a new Site Q era at The Sandlot, YHC decided to take it back to when it all began. I found the Weinke from my first Q at the Weds Martha’s House workout (whatever it was called at that time) so I decided to go with that. Upon looking at workout, YHC decided this sequel needed to up the ante.

YHC arrived to find several PAX stretching and ready to go. After planting the flag for the first time and watching several PAX roll in hot, it was 0530 and time to go.

The Pledge

Warm-up
It had been 2,412 days since that original Q so that would inspire the warm-up counts
SSH x 25 (OK, so 24 isn’t a typical number to stop on so I forgot to raise the inflection on 24)
LBCs x 24
Merkins x 12
Imperial Walkers x 12

Mosey past Plant Fitness to the Food Lion parking lot. The original Q was done in the empty Harris Teeter parking lot which is now the busy Planet Fitness parking lot so for safety reasons the sequel modified the location.

Partner up. Partner 1 ran 4 corners around the light posts while Partner 2 completed exercises.
Exercise 1 – 200 Lunges
Exercise 2 – 250 American Hammers
Exercise 3 – 300 LBCs

The counts were doubled from the original Q so we had to Omaha at certain points for time consideration. It was also during my first lap that YHC noticed the notecard with YHC’s Weinke which I’d casually laid on the ground had been stolen. This would not serve as a problem.

At this point, we moseyed to the far end of the Food Lion parking lot. 20 Floyd Mayweather’s were called (doubled from the original Q), but there was discussion about the appropriate execution of this exercise. Here are the official definitions from the Exicon. The PAX can determine what they think…

Floyd Mayweather’s
From a basic plank position, raise one hand off the ground and punch across, behind and under the opposite arm, keeping the core stabilized. Complete in cadence and switch to other arm. Add a small dumbbell or brick for an extra challenge. Can also be completed from a Knerkin Plank position.

Nolan Ryan’s
Start in a side plank position with your ungrounded arm extended. Complete a punching motion as if someone, namely Robin Ventura, were under your other arm.

Another round of 4 corners, this time with 200 Merkins, 200 Squats, and 200 Flutter Kicks

To the wall for 20 Hip Slappers (doubled from the original Q)

Back to the parking lot for a round of 11’s. Was planning on 22’s with Merkins and Squats, but due to time constraints, called 11’s with Hand Release Merkins and Jump Squats

Mosey back to the flag.

Quick round of Mary, Birthday-Boy Flintstone called flutters (I think) and Short Sale called Peter Parker/Parker Peters.

It seems like counting has been somewhat troublesome for some PAX lately. Whether it’s counting light posts going down the road or keeping up with rounds during 11’s, math can be hard. We’d put our counting skills to the test this morning.

YHC arrived on a Monday morning at The Sandlot ready to get to work. A good crowd as usual was ready to go at 0530 so let’s get started.

Warm-up
SSH IC x 12
As we moved into Merkin position, Roscoe asked if there a reason we did 12. YHC didn’t really have a reason for that particular number so there was an awkward silence. Roscoe said it must be because it was the 12th. He also noted that it was his anniversary. The 24th to be exact. Numbers, everywhere numbers.
Merkins IC x 12 (which is really 24 merkins, one for each year of marital bliss for Roscoe and Mrs. Roscoe)
LBCs IC x 12
Imperial Walks x 12

The Pledge

Let’s mosey. Stopped at the parking lot behind the CaroMont Health building down from Snoball’s. Let’s test those counting skills with a round of 11’s.

10 Mike Tyson’s on the lower side of the parking lot. 1 Jump Squat on the upper side.
Back and forth until we got to 1 Mike Tyson and 10 Jump Squats.

Let’s mosey. Stopped at the base of Gaston’s Hill. Now let’s see if we can count the number of mail boxes up and down the hill. Based on YHC’s Back to School Q at The Labyrinth a month ago, there should be 27 if you count the full loop. At each mailbox, 1 burpee.

After that lap, time to mosey again. Through the Dollar General parking lot to the corner of the Food Lion parking lot. Time for some 4 Core-ners.

1st corner – 10 Crunchy Frogs
2nd corner – 10 Crunchy Frogs and 20 Dying Cockroaches
3rd corner – 10 Crunchy Frogs and 20 Dying Cockroaches and 30 LBCs
4th corner – 10 Crunchy Frogs and 20 Dying Cockroaches and 30 LBCs and 40 Flutter Kicks

As we started at the first corner, I believe someone said we should have done 12. Q fail. Would have been a great opportunity to test our ability to count by 12’s. Let’s reverse and try it again.

1st corner – 12 Crunchy Frogs
2nd corner – 12 Crunchy Frogs and 24 Dying Cockroaches
3rd corner – 12 Crunchy Frogs and 24 Dying Cockroaches and 36 LBCs
4th corner – 12 Crunchy Frogs and 24 Dying Cockroaches and 36 LBCs and 48 Flutter Kicks

Mosey back to Snoball’s.

We got back in time to do a minute worth of Mary.
