So Ackbar finally led his first Q today, so a VQ with 5 other brave souls on Planet Hoth, also known as Asylum at Brooklyn Pizza. The workout was heavy inspired by two things; Star Wars, and the need to keep moving to keep the cold at bay. Here are the details:
The Warm Up – Lap around Target to warm up.
42 Side Shuttle Hops. (Trivia, Star Wars IV, the first debuted in only 42 theaters in 1977, as FOX expected the “kids space movie” would be a major flop…)
20 Mountain Climbers
20 Merkins
20 Imperial Walkers (Because Star Wars!)
10 Potato “Yoda” Pickers
Hold for Stretch
The Thang – First was the Star Wars Trilogy Circuit, the number 3 meaning 3 burpees. A run from Hickory Tavern to Brooklyn Pizza required 3 burpees at BP, and upon the return a series of 20 exercises were required, stacking up with each circuit. This included:
20 Low Slow Squats (which soon became squats)
20 LBCs
20 Step Ups
20 Dips
20 Derkins
20 Bobby Hurleys
20 Plank Jacks
Afterward we moved to the Target Parking Lot for what Posse renamed the “Death Star Fish,” which I like better than Star Fish. This included:
Burpee in the center
20 Imperial Squat Walkers
20 Jumping Knee Touches
20 Carolina Dry Docks
20 Peter Parkers
Then it was time to return to the parking lot, ended with “hovers,” whatever they are called…
The Moleskin – The cold became a great motivator to move!
– Brad’s son Lane “allowed” him to use his easel to record the Star Wars Trilogy Circuit for reference. No worries, it has been returned (image below via Twitter)
– Chastain pushed it despite having gone above and beyond on Saturday. Well done!
– Legal Zoom had a great observation regarding the quality of the Star Wars movie The Last Jedi, complete with an F Bomb. Ackbar approved.
– Star Wars music is great to work out to.
– The Pros helped Ackbar navigate a couple of quirks. Overall it seemed to go smoothly. The rebels have defeated the Empire!
– No one could agree how much time we had left. A 3 minute difference and everyone gets all worked up.
– The Force was strong with these men. Very impressive work!
– Ackbar’s official given name was “Admiral Ackbar,” but he never was comfortable assuming the rank as it was unearned. After today, Admiral Ackbar feels earned and will go by Ackbar or Admiral Ackbar, or Admiral, or any other creative F3 language.
Announcements: Sanctuary Bible Study is tonight at Brooklyn Pizza at 7:30. Snowflake is leading tonight and we are going to talk about King Solomon.
– Smokey led QT, or Q Talks, I can’t remember the title. Sorry. We will all aim to be goal-setting lizards and not leeches! Well done sir!
– Keep Goodfella in mind as he gives some love and support to his friend up in New Jersey, as his friend’s wife has died from cancer. Prayers lifted to Goodfella’s friend and family.
– Q School is coming up this Saturday! Here’s the link, thanks Posse! https://t.co/oOSdoXQPJ4
That’s it. May the Force be with you!
