Thurston’s VQ at Thrive



Thurston’s VQ at Thrive

Posted on behalf of Thurston, #cobains for the delay that is on me.

 

On Halloween morning nine pax gathered in the cold gloom for their weekly calisthenics. Hoffa rolled up
on his motorcycle, seemingly impervious to the elements. 5:30 rolled around and with little fanfare we
began…

The Thang
Did a warm-up mosey around the parking lot #HairbandMile, then circled up for
 Side straddle hop x25
 Imperial Walker x20
 Mountain climber x20
 5 burpees OYO

After this we moseyed over the road for some suicides. There was some debate over the proper
nomenclature regarding the concrete “things” where we stopped and exercised. Island? Peninsula?
Isthmus? No name was settled on and the exercise continued nonetheless. At each stop we did

 Squats x20
 Merkins x20
 LBC’s x20
 Monkey humpers x20
 Bomb jacks x20

Mosey over the hill and find a spot in the middle for “Clock merkins”

 Q calls out a time (12:00; 6:00, etc.) and do 5 merkins OYO facing that direction

After that it was time for some reverse hill runs, as follows:
 Run backwards up hill, 10 LBC’s at the top, back down hill
 Run backwards up hill, 9 LBC’s at the top, back down hill
 Etc… down to 1 LBC
Our quads will thank us tomorrow. From here we proceeded to the soccer field where we did good ol’
fashioned suicides. No special exercises, just running. Following this, we moseyed to the parking lot for
the “Bear-muda Triangle,” as follows…
There are three markers in the parking lot, 30 yards apart.
 At marker 1, do 1 burpee and bear crawl to marker 2
 2 burpees at marker 2, then bear crawl to marker 3
 3 burpees at marker 3, then bear crawl back to marker 1

 Repeat
 Cry

We then moseyed over to our spot behind the building. We started with “Balls to the Wall.” (Side note: I
prefer the name “Testicles to the Vestibule” for this one, but that probably has too many syllables to
catch on.)

 Hold handstand for 10 count (x2)
Then we got into the People’s Chair for
 100 arm presses

Back to the parking lot to circle up on our sixes for
 American Hammer x20
 Freddy Mercury x20
 Dolly x20
 Rosalita x20
 Superman
 Protractor

In summary, it was a great introduction the art of Q’ing. Many thanks to my fellow pax for an awesome
and strenuous workout today!
