Up, Up, Up, Up, Up…..

I was asked on Wednesday afternoon to be a substi-Q for Centurion this week. With having a 5 week old kid at the house, I was reluctant to commit.  But I told Chelms I’d do my best to be there, but to have a back up plan ready just in case.  Not sure which plan would have been better, but I think they both were equally as bad.  It all went down like this…

Warm up mosey down Little, left on Walsh, and into the old Centurion parking lot for a little COP:

  • SSH x 30 IC
  • Low Slow Squat x 15 IC
  • Imperial Walkers x 20 IC
  • Low Slow Merkin x 15 IC

Head on over to the parking deck for “The Beast” – parking deck edition.  6 reps at every turn in the deck all the way to the top = 6 sets.  Repeat for 6 rounds with different called exercise each time.  Instead of planking at the end to wait for the six, people’s chair with variations each time. At the end of each round, run down the stairs and start from the bottom again…and again…and again….

  1. Molotov Merkins
    • Standard People’s Chair
  2. 180 degree jump squats
    • People’s Chair w/ heels up
  3. Hand Release Merkins
    • People’s Chair w/ air presses x 50
  4. LBCs
    • People’s Chair w/ 1 leg out (switch half way)
  5. Diamond Merkins
    • Standard People’s Chair (I think)
  6. Burpees
    • Standard People’s Chair

Down the steps again and back to the parking lot for Mary:

  • Heels to Heaven x 25 IC
  • Flutter x 25 IC
  • J-Lo x 10 IC
  • Freddie Mercury x 15 IC

COT

That’s a wrap!

Ye Naked Moleskin:

Great group of guys this morning including our newest addition, Bus Stop (Nick M. – 26 years young – HATE HATE!) Asked how he knew mermaid, because there had been talk of another guy Mermaid EH’d at the pool (or steam room) showing up.  Turns out the two met at the bus stop.  The name was thrown out there, but we dug deeper to find out who he really is, man.  Then we just gave up and went back to Bus Stop.  Welcome aboard and we look forward to seeing you again next week if not before!

The parking deck beast is chock full of suck.  It was all up hill the entire time!  Up, up, up, up, up we went over and over again.  The molotov merkins were a bad idea after about the 2nd set.  Glad nobody lost their teeth.  The people’s chair variations are always fun(ish).  The leg shaking kicked in earlier than normal for me when we lifted our heels off the ground.  I prefer to go longer with each of those, but the beast was chewing up time quickly.  I don’t think anyone had a problem cutting them off.

I would call out who was crushing it out there, but I would say it was a lot of you because I seemed to be “leading from behind” the entire morning!  By the time I would get to the top each round, everything was a little blurry and shaky!  So props to everyone.  I will call out Lug Nut, my FNG from 3 weeks ago.  Great job to keep coming back each week, although he may or may not have sat a round out to spill some merlot!  He rallies with the best of them though.

Thanks again to everyone for the great morning.  Felt great to lead this group of men today.  I did hear Snow Flake say towards the end that I am his favorite QIC.  Not going to lie, it felt nice.  Unfortunately it was a little late in the game to start sucking up.  You should have done that before the beast started!  Scabby also pointed out the repetition of the beast was the same definition of insanity.  I concur.  It was basic, nothing fancy, just continuous pain.  I like it.

Announcements:

F3 5 Year Anniversary Party is tomorrow night.  See website for details.  No ticket sales at the door, must purchase online before.  If you want to clown car, reach out to Chelms.  He’s selling spots in his 3rd row.

So we can watch THE GAME, bus leaves at 6 from my house (3912 Brinton, 28226) for anyone that wants to ride. First to get in touch with Runstopper may be able to get his ticket at a discount as he now will be DR tomorrow. Email me at pchepul@gmail.com if you want to ride.

Funny thing is that my back up plan was the beast. Pro must be prescient as it would have sucked either way.

The Larry Birds were Jamboree, Lorax, and Ickey Shuffle. They colluded to make sure I never won as they all three beat me at least once but none beat me more than three times (according to my official score sheet).
