Making up #($% as we go

Making up #($% as we go

Posted by Chelms (LD gets no credit for the BB other then delegating it to me – actually that is a great idea)

Thanks to Escargot, the shovel flag was planted and 17 men gathered in the gloom to end the work week right.

The Thang (making it up as best as I can since LD didn’t leave me a Weinke and asked after COT that I post the BB)

Run to upper parking lot for COP

• SSH X30
• IW X25
• Mountain climbers X25
• Merkins X15

Form three lines for some 50 yard runs (after what seemed like forever to get the PAX on board -#refusniks coming to Centurion?)

• Round 1 – Sprint the parking lot and perform merkins until your turn to sprint back – plank
• Round 2 – Karaoke left/right and perform merkins until your turn to go karaoke back – plank
• Round 3 – Band walk (wtf) to first light and then backward run – burpees until your turn to band walk/backward run back – plank

Jog to aquatic center,  After some confusion, split up group with half at bottom of lot and half at top of lot.  Find partner.

Teams at bottom wheelbarrow to top to “tag out” with teams at top that are doing merkins.  Team at top then band walks to bottom to “tag out” with teams doing squats.  Team now at bottom wheelbarrows back to top once another team makes it back down.  Rinse and repeat.

Jog over to high school entrance for Jack Webb ladder to 10

• 1 merkin – 4 JW’s
• 2 merkins – 8 JW’s
• etc, etc, etc,
• 10 merkins – 40 JW’s (crowd pleaser – finally some real pain)

Jog back to parking lot for six minutes of mary, with every other man deciding on exercise and calling cadence (#goodpracticeforfutureQ’s).    Low flutter, Rosalitta, LBC, Dolly, Knee ups, Burpees (wtf – burpees are not part of 6MOM), bicycle, Russian Twist, and Plank (borderline 6MOM).

Jog back to start – COT

Naked Moleskin

The Q’s timing was a little off this am and I think he was making up much of the workout as we went.   Thinking back, him asking me to  write the BB makes sense.  I eventually got impatient and just took off on the first sprint while the Q&A session with the PAX was still going on.  Runstopper noted that I must have slept at Holiday Inn last night and was ready to go.

Speaking of Runstopper, he threatened to make fun of my toboggan.  Not sure if he ever made good on the threat since I couldn’t hear him since I was so far ahead of him.

Purple Haze did a little better job holding evil exercise thoughts to himself but I wonder if he suggested the Jack Webb ladder while I was out of ear shot.

For the PAX benefit, here is the definition of 6MOM – “Six Minutes of Mary: An abdominal routine of no specific composition as long as it promotes TBQ.  Inspired by psycho-killer with the 7 minute ab workout in Something About Mary.” 

I don’t think burpees qualify as an approved 6MOM exercise and planks are borderline.  However, I did like LD’s plan to have every other man call cadence.  It gave some newer guys a chance to practice.  Leroy improved 1000% in only 1 minute.

Announcements:

Need guys to sign up for Q at Centurion as the schedule is wide open.   I still have bricks, jump ropes, and cards in my truck so you can’t complain about the workout if you don’t sign up to Q.
