Coupon Day at Centurion

Thang

  • Mosey to the lot on Walsh for COP (Seal Jacks, IW, LSS, Merkins)
  • Partner up, size and speed don’t matter
  • One partner come with YHC to grab a lifting rock across the street while the other partner alternates 5 burpees / 5 squats until we return stands there wondering where the heck the Q went
  • Rock sets – partner with the rock does called circuit while other partner runs around the stadium, up stairs to top of the deck, across deck to the close stairs and back down to the lot. Tell your partner the exercises they are to do (#delegation) and flapjack. After the first set, YHC added 3 burpees at each speed bump (3 bumps total) to buy us some more time with the rocks.
    • Set 1: 20 OHP, 20 Curls, 20 Lunges
    • Set 2: 20 Merkin Left Hand on Rock, 20 Tricep Ext, 20 Goblet Squat
    • Set 3: 20 Merkin Right Hand on Rock, 20 Curl and Press, 20 Tea Bag Squat
  • If you have the rock, take it back to the pile while we do jump squats then mosey to the deck for some People’s Chair variations for a few minutes
  • Purple Haze count down to an AYG sprint halfway across deck, 10 CDD, AYG to the end
  • Mary for a bit
  • Triple Nickel on the short ramp (jump squats / merkins)
  • AYG back to launch
  • Various planking throughout the morning, much spent at 6 inches, while waiting for the 6

 

Moleskin

For those who arrived a few minutes early, we were treated to some yoga deep stretching instruction by Mermaid. The parking lot at Charlotte Catholic is so dark these days that no one actually knows if we did it right.

YHC twisted his ankle up a little last week and has been going light on the mileage for a few days so the original weinke was pocketed for next time (be warned) and the plan was for a full body workout instead. From the complaints compliments YHC received afterward, we were at least somewhat successful.

Only one new (to me) face in the darkness this morning and it was none other than Foul Ball. YHC learned quickly that he is even faster than everyone says he is. He and his partner Maverick were the ultimate Larry Birds today and YHC considered doubling the speed bump burpees for their team so the rest of us stood a chance of keeping up. T-claps to Checkpoint for accidentally doing extra burpees at each speed bump.

Alf (and anyone else unlucky enough to be at Anvil 5 or 6 weeks ago) probably recognized the rock sets that I shamelessly stole from his Q. Those rock sets killed YHC that day so it seemed a good idea to bring them back but with a little less rock and a little more running. Unfortunately for Fault Line, his partner Cane thought “lifting rock” meant the biggest possible rock you can lift without collapsing and they both were treated to some tough rock work. Mermaid took the prize for 2nd biggest rock and YHC is not sure who his partner was but is guessing it will be a guy who does not choose Mermaid next time. #chooseyourpartnerwisely

Thanks for coming out for YHC’s second Q and hanging through the occasional hiccup. Most of the jeering mumblechatter died off by the 3rd rock set so mission accomplished there. Lots of anxiety about “only left hand on the rock” was relieved when we reached the 3rd set and got to use our right hand (you’re welcome). Everyone pushed hard today as the men of Centurion always do and the group stayed relatively close together the whole morning. Great work, men.

Happy recent Birthday to Snowflake who was our official Centurion War Daddy. Thank you for the excellent take out, Paper Jam.

Congrats Thin Mint on an excellent workout and Q. This was my first Centurion but won’t be my last. Thank you Cane for keeping me honest…that rock was payback for a few “less than impressive” rock choices in my past #rockkarma.

Solid Q Thin Mint. Did wonder where the heck you went at the beginning; you probably said but I wasn’t listening. Good to have Foul Ball join us; hope you’ll come back brother. Enjoyed chasing Alf & Maverick on the runs…not really. Good partnering with Brilleaux, who despite his French heritage, has some other admirable distinctives being a Demon Deacon who hails from the Midwest. #heartland
See you jokers again soon.

I told you I should have worn my Hops official uniform (neon yellow shirt) #visibleformiles. Do me a favor next time I disappear in the gloom and plank it up or something. Can’t make The Rock tomorrow, but looking forward to hearing what you come up with this time.

What a celebrity getting Ballz to show up to your Q. Or he wants something… Hope you made him apologize for killing The Mutha

Foul Ball heard that Centurion is worth the drive. Shorter drive for you Tolkien.

Well that was my annual summer adventure all the way out to Centurion and it was all that it was cracked up to be. Big rocks, stairs, and sprints. Straightforward and painful. Great Q Thin Mint, you make me nervous for how tough you could start to bring it in future Q’s.
