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!
