Sweet sound of a whistle makes for a good time
10 Brave souls skipped fart sacing on a Saturday and ventured into the gloom for a beat down. Theirs ears would soon hear the scary sound that meant more pain and listen to a Q that could barely count.
The Thang:
The warm-up:
A lap around the parking lot and track while we wait for the last couple Canadians to get out of their car.
10 X Burpees, 20 X SS, 20 X IW, 20 X MC, 20 X slow squats, 10 X Merkins
Once done mosey about two hundred yards to the football field in back then circle up.
Stolen from the Hoff,
The whistle makes its first appearance for a little game of up downs.
Everyone jog in place, every time the whistle is blown touch your chest to the ground and back up again. Continue for 10 mins
Mosey to the other side of the football field then circle up
Mr. Jack Webb, 1 merkin and 4 air presses up to 7 merkins and 28 air presses.
It was definitely an unimpressive job by the Q counting and keeping track of count, Pac recognizes and Q blamed it on last weekend, weak excuse.
Mosey too the end line of the football field, Mr. Whistle makes another appearance.
1 whistle slow jog, 2 whistles a sprint, planking when you get to the end line and waiting for the pac to regroup, continuing up and down the field 6 times
After listing to more mumble chatter of how this Q wasn’t suppose to like to run, gotcha.
Little time for some Mary
30 X LBC, 14 X Dolley, 14 X Flutter, 14 X Rosalita, 10 X Hells To Heaven (lead by the Brew), 14 X Freddie Mercury,
Mosey back 200 yards to the track next to the field.
Partner up
Partner 1 runs a lap, partner 2 does squats until partner 1 makes it back until the partners have done a total of 150 Squats,
Same thing 100 merkins
Repeat with 75 Carolina Dry Docks
Then 50 lunges 1 lung equals both legs.
Plank up till everyone is done,
A little superman, with pulling arms in for the final two mins.
Moleskin:

– Awesome work from the men that posted today.
– It was great to Q today as I have missed hanging out with the boys of Stonehenge – what a great way to kick off a Saturday morning.

– Tclaps to Mark (FNG) christened “Entourage” great showing.
-Quick History Lesson
The Greeks were master motivators who understood how to instill commitment and prepare their soldiers for victory. To infuse their army with a spirit of commitment, the moment they landed on the enemy’s shore, the Greek commanders would give the order to “burn the boats.” Imagine the tremendous psychological impact on the soldiers as they watched their boats being set to the torch. There was no turning back. Once their boats were burned, they realized that the only way they were going home was through victory.
For 2014 plan on “burning the boats” in your life and allow for on VICTORY in your own life
