Out at the bars
Best line I heard was someone seeing Cable Guy and asking with some genuine question: “are we at the bars – that’s the only place I see you?!” Well, we did make it to the bars. And I know I’ll feel it tomorrow.
Big group 24 (also 20 Swift) out for a pre-holiday sweat and burn. As always when I have the honor of QIC, YHC aims to make sure we are A) constantly moving, B) get to the point of heavy breathing, and C) burn up the soccer arms and upper body with purpose. The Thang:
Non-traditional warm-ups, run like an NFL hurry-up offence…quick huddles, quick plays.
-let’s go: Squats, then Imperial Walker…let’s go: Merkins, then Peter Parker
Fountain in front of Mellow Mushroom: 15 Inc Merkins, up stairs, 10 Burpees (x2)
Out to steps/benches. Jump Up (hold low)-recover-Jump Down (hold low) then 7 Merkins (x10)
Back up to parking lot, partners, 15 Leg/Ab throws, then 15 Hand Slap Merkins (x2 each). Let’s go…
Pitstop at Wells Fargo for Mary on the way to paths/bars… 7 good chin ups at one end, 7 good pull ups other end, but with 10 Merkins and 10 Jump Squats in between each end. Most got 2 full rounds in. Out toward LocNess
All you’ve got to Wall 1 – 15 dips, 10 jump ups, then All you’ve got to Wall 2 (same). Mary/plank/etc.
Mosey back – one more quick Mary and done!
Moseskin: Great to see some that haven’t posted in awhile, the occasional/floaters, and the regulars. Thank you for the effort, support, motivation, and camaraderie today and all year. Last post for YHC in ’17 due to travel. F3 is about the fitness and community, and is much appreciated. Loved seeing the holiday well-wishes and bro-hugs at conclusion. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and God Bless…

Bucky author
Good Q Bucky. The “hold low” deals as you call them were painful — should rename that one “Eddie the Eagle’s”
And “Leg/Ab throws” = Prairie Fire Mary
A few other sundry observations from Bagpipe:
– Champagne was beside himself giddy as Bucky stressed the “focus on form” more than once. He & I also corrected Hula Girl on his 10-count form…couldn’t help ourselves
– Kotters to Cable Guy….surprising I did not see him at the bars…though my watering holes are a bit north of Ballantyne
– I saw you – Tool Bag – flying on the all you got run to the walls for derkins and jump up’s. You can’t hide fast…and no more sand-baggie’ for you brother!
Happy Christmas fellas. Thankful for you jokers.
Thanks for the comments guys, and I’m glad some of you reported back the same soreness I got from it. Yes Mermaid the “form” thing is simple, oft ignored, but a game-changer when it comes to effectiveness. Hops- Love the “Eddie the Eagle” name, that sticks and I’ll use that at the 2-year anniversary of DaVinci Q in a few weeks! Best to all as you close out ‘17 – we can’t fully control what will happen in ‘18 but F3 will help us navigate it. God Bless!
