Tag: Folsom (Page 35 of 55)

1. A few weeks back I noticed I didn’t have anyone signed up to Q the last 3 days of the month at Folsom! So I threw it out on our Folsom groupme, and two people stepped up, but the last day was open! I told them if I lead it, we will lunge a mile! That’s how we will end the month! Wrong! I tried it by myself, I completed a 1/4 mile and it was bad enough, I knew I wasn’t in good enough shape to get a mile, so a 1/4 mile it will be!

i pulled into Folsom earlier than normal, we had a few pax waiting, then a few more pulled in, including sister Act, after he post again this afternoon , he will have “37 POST” for the month of July! Good job Sister Act! Now let’s get started!

warmup!

Mosey the parking lot next to the flag.

11s, burpees and merkins! Fellowship mosey to the crosswalk at the entrance of the park! From this point, lunge walk to the entrance of the animal shelter, that will be 1/4 mile!

Prayer request- Roadie’s nephew, each other, families!

Thanks for the opportunity!

It was a bit cooler this morning rolling into the Folsom gloom. The fog added to effect rather nicely. Surprisingly, the humidity was still rather brutal. Folsom is currently marked up for a little facelift and additional recreation equipment installations. Word on the street is we are going to get our very own splash pad/water fountain! Slaw and YHC will most likely be the first to test it out during a WO. Anyway, trying to come up with something creative for today’s Q, I remembered a routine exercise that was used out at BlackBeards AO in Murrells Inlet. While keeping it simple and some modifications to said Q, it worked out well. 5:30 so Time to get at it.

pledge

warmarama

mosey toward the park entrance and loop around down back down by the ballfields to the lower parking lot.

Thang

this routine exercise may have a name, but I’m just going with what took place. Each PAX chose an exercise. While PAX 1 runs a fast lap around the parking lot, the remaining PAX AMRAP given exercise. When PAX 1 completes lap, PAX 2 runs and PAX 1 joins the remaining PAX and continue to AMRAP said exercise. Keep the rotation until all PAX have run their lap. Switch to the next exercise and repeat.

Exercises were; Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Imperial Squats, Flutter Kicks, Plank Jacks, Alternating Lunges, 1 more that I can’t remember.

with about 7 minutes left, we mosey to the shelter for Step ups, Low slow Squats, calf raises all x20 IC

mosey back to start

Prayers for our families, Squirt’s M, my friend Tracy, Bedpan job interview

YHC took us out in prayer

Again, thank you men for letting me Q. I love this AO and the group of guys that make it what it is. Let’s keep it rolling!

MDub out

9 HIMS showed to Folsom this morning looking to avoid the rain.  The chance of avoiding a potential beat down, well, that’s not going to happen if I can help it.  Getting close to start time and the PAX are still rolling in.  Here comes Sparky, so I am late or it’s definitely time to start, so let’s roll.

Warm-Up:    SSH x 10(IC)

The Thang:

Mosey towards the flag at the entrance to Folsom, along the way stopping at 4 different light poles and knocking out 5 Burpees OYO at each pole.  Got in 20 before we reached the flag.  Sort of like a mobile Slaughter Starter.  Go ahead and say the pledge, then we continue to mosey across the street to the back right corner of Walmart.

Exercise called was Walls of Jericho.  This exercise usually is performed around a large building.  Today we are using the Walmart building.  You pick 7 different exercises and complete 7 reps of each and run one lap around the building.  Exercise is complete once you finish your 7th lap.   The exercises chosen today were;  Burpees, Plank Jacks, Big Boys, Imperial Squats, Ski Merkins, CDD, and Seal Jacks.   Not a lot of mumble chatter during this exercise.  Only talk was of Sparky making an emergency pit stop into the Walmart.  He sure did take his time.  Then somewhere after the 2nd round, Allen Tate pops up out of nowhere.  Sort of like he was trying to sneak in like he had been there the whole time.  He swears he ran a 5k looking for us, but he wouldn’t provide his Fitbit for proof.  This exercise took longer than anticipated, and we were quickly running out of time.  We had to cut the last round short and start our mosey back to flag.

Still with a couple minutes left to spare, I didn’t want to waste any valuable time.  So a quick round of Burp & Merk was called.  This is when you begin a traditional burpee with a single merkin at the bottom, then complete.  Drop back down for a second burpee with two merkins, then complete.  We did this up to 7, and then worked our way back down to 1.   This was a crowd pleaser to end the workout.  Time.

COT

Name-o-rama:    Completed rather quickly, not sure where Sparky was off “two”

Announcements:  CSAUP relay, JJ5K, Belmont 5/10k

Prayer request:  YHC took us out

It was an honor to lead today gentlemen.  Thank you for allowing me this opportunity.

Sister Act

With the 2.0 friendly workout at Folsom on Saturday morning, I reached out to Sparky to see who had the regular Q.  The answer was nobody…say what?  Well Pizza Man will take it now.  With that said,  I wanted to Q a workout that really pushed the HIMS that posted.  As I pull into Folsom I noticed my brother Whoopee waiting patiently, then it was just he and I waiting, and then here comes our brother Slaw rolling in.  6:30 is approaching and mentioned that this workout wasn’t going to be easy and it would push each of us.  Not sure how much they believed but it went like this….

Warm-up:

SSH-20 IC

Don Q’s- 10 IC

Slow squat- 10 IC

Let’s mosey to the flag at the entrance to say the pledge.  Now let’s mosey to the track around the small pond for some arm work.  We posted on the new dock and did 3 exercises (incline merkin, decline merkin, dips).  Each of these exercises were done with MAX reps as possible and then run a lap.  Enough of that, mosey to the hill for Triple Nickle.  Turkish get-ups were done at the top and Big Boy sit-ups at the bottom with a little NUR back up the hill.  Good work men!!  On to the next, we stopped at the lower parking lot for 11’s.  Merkins and flutterkicks were performed.  With about 13 minutes to go, I knew this was going to be perfect!! Mosey to the tennis courts for Burpeethon training.  It went like this…8,9,10,11,12,12,11,10,9,8 burpees were done on each minute.  For those not great at math, that’s 100 burpees in 10 minutes!!!  Time!!!  During this JV Q we logged 3.75 miles and did the exercises mentioned.

I really hope the HIMS that posted this morning got their money’s worth.  If not, come to my next JV Q.  I really appreciate the opportunity to lead and can’t wait for the next time.  Thanks for the push and for pushing your bodies through this Q.

30 PAX and 2.0’s came out to the Folsom 2.0 day today. Great job on making this a monthly day during the summer guys! It has been a hit! It is very important that we be role models for our kids. There are some bad ones out there that they could be following.

Roadie lead us from the start.

Warmup:

SSH x 10ic, Squats and something else.

I have to say Roadie did a great job of explaining some of our weird ways and names

Mosey to the front of the park. Man my kid hates running more than me!

Pledge

11’s in the parking lot. SSH’s and squats.

Hippa took over.

Mosey back to the field at the start. Hiippaa led us in some fire drill exercises.

The 1st lesson from HHipa was about getting low. Bearcrawl in a circle then do some merkins. Bearcrawl some more exercises.  So on and so forth for several rounds.

The 2nd lesson from Hiippa was on stop drop and roll. Run in place then drop and roll left then roll right and jump back up. Repeat several times.

Freight took over

Mosey to the tennis courts

Get in three teams for some relay races.

First was the monkey relay. Grab you ankles and hold them while running across a tennis court and back. There was no running in this. Try it!

2nd everyone got a balloon. Run down two tennis courts, sit on your balloon, pop it and run back.

3rd everyone took off one shoe in the middle of the courts and put them in a pile. The teams then went to the far corners. One member at a time has to run and find their shoe put it on and run back.

Prayer Request-Our kids and Dads

Moleskin:

Awesome morning guys. So proud of all of you for bringing yours kids out and being good role models. They may not get it out now but one day they will. Being a parent isn’t always about the here and now. Sometimes we are just working for their future.

1. Man, was it nice and cool out in the gloom this morning at Folsom. Good to have a break from the 90% humidity. After calling it out on Twitter, YHC knew he best not disappoint. I had a few things on the weinke, but knew it wouldn’t fill the :45 slot. But with the spectacular range of useful props that the Folsom AO brings, it won’t be hard to wing the rest. I honestly felt it was going to be a small turnout, with just myself and Sister Act, but at about 5:25 they roll in.

No FNGs

warmarama

SSH x10 IC, Toy Soldiers x10 IC

pledge

mosey, continue across death road to Walmart where Sparky tries to take lead and send half the PAX across the parking lot. Sister Act reminded him to listen to the Q. Back in formation, we follow the path around the back of the store around to the right side of the building. This is “THE” hill of the Hill Gods. Mumblechatter quickly started to vent as YHC calls out the orders.

Thang

partner up for some Dora 1,2,3. Partner one Nurs the hill will partner 2 performs exercise. Flap jack and continue until complete. Hipslappers x100 single count, 200 Dirty Hookups, 300 sitting wall assisted shoulder presses. Allen Tate needed a demo of the dirty hookup, claiming he had only witnessed the kind you get down on Airline Ave. Stay sitting on the wall for some marching while arm bicycling IC x20. I noticed it is pretty tough for my Folsom men to do both of those at the same time, but they managed to get the burn it meant to give. Next face the wall and step up on the curb for calf raises x20 IC. Next up, Triple Nickel, on the hill again. Mike Tyson’s on the curb x5, up the hill for 5 burpees. Repeat five times. During this epic moment of events, Sparky leaves the pack for the Walmart Turd facilities. I honestly had thought Sister Act would’ve been the first to go or at least join him, cause something horrible was going on with him this morning. Like he needed his intestine worked on or something. Anyway, fellowship mosey for a second, then mosey back across to the AO playing a little frogger on the way. Continue to mosey a little longer route due to having a few minutes to burn. LBCs while we wait on the six, who were not far behind. Way to push! 22 for the vets. Time

prayers for our families and that God lead us to be leaders in our family and communities.

Its an honor to Q. It’s truly a blessing to be a part of this group of Men. I’ve been surrounded by drama and bull crap with some friends and other family lately. It’s stupid how immature people can be, yet be adults. I continue to do the one thing we all are commanded to do, Love. Regardless of what’s going on, love without restriction. Easier said than done, trust me. This group of men show that trait daily toward each other. Not in a bad way, TeamTimberlake, don’t get wrong idea. We truly love and care about each other. That’s noticeable just in attendance from a year ago compared to today. I know I’m not the only one who would just fartsack and live that sad clown life without the encouragement, support, and brotherhood these guys bring. Let’s keep it growing.
