4. Merckens X 10

The Thang

1. Run to the painted rock at SVHS.
2. Partner work … one partner does sliding squats against the rock (Smokey really wanted this called “Rubbing the Rock” … I’m not sure why) while the other partner rolled the Fun Dice for an exercise.
3. Ran to front of SVHS … stopped at each pole to do 5 merckens.
4. Partner work … Ran a 1/2 lap around front parking lot while partner rolled Fun Dice
5. Ran through back parking lot to stadium bleachers. Partner work … stair climbs while partner rolled Fun Dice
6. Raced the back Rainbow Road (Mario Cart style). We stopped at “every pole” to do a crazy awesome new workout Bonhoeffer invented. See, he’d been hearing laments about the lack of back workouts, so he’d been pondering ways to create a mobile back workout. Now officially called “Galleys” after all those guys in the hull of the boat rowing, all PAX line up side to side, every other PAX standing up and lying on back between. Then the PAX on the ground do pullup rows while the two PAX on either side of him grip his hands to keep him off the ground. To rotate, simply move down the line toward the sun.
7. Run to the small track behind SVMS.
8. Partner work … run a lap while partner rolled Fun Dice.
9. Run to awnings. 30 stepups, 30 merckens, 30 dips, roll the Fun Dice.
10. Jailbreak to launch.
11. Mary > Freddy Mercuries, Boxcutters, Pacmans, American Hammers (lots of PAX mumblechattering about the 30 seconds they thought the Q was going over.)
12. El fin.

Moleskine

FNG Polo crushed it for his first time out. Well done, Sir! You against you, and you won!

Smokey and Chastain led the constant mumblechatter over what the name of this backblast should be. Finalists were “Rubbing the Rock,” “Dips Facing the Sun,” and “His Wienke Is on Vibrate.”

Smokey is still working to understand what “modify as needed” means. I think he really just wants to Q some more workouts because he changes everything the Q plans and does his own thang. Sign him up, Chastain!

Some PAX seem very self-conscious about their manhood and feel uncomfortable rubbing their backs against a painted rock to do low squats. Note to self: Plan more rubbing of things for Smokey.

El fin.
