The Big House Beatdown

The Big House Beatdown

14 men showed up at The Big House to get the week started off right.  It was good to be out with some guys on the West Side of South Charlotte.  We don’t cross paths very often and its great to meet new guys and catch up with old ones.

5:30 Came, we hit the disclaimer and off for a mosey around the ball fields (mostly to see what was there as I have only been to this AO one other time) and settle up for COP in the far parking lots.

COP:  SSH, lunges, merkins, plank jacks, low plank jacks, low slow squats.  I skipped the imperial walkers and I know you all really wanted them!

Move over to the row of parking spaces.  Each man plank along a parking space line.

Plank walk left one space, one merkin (single count cadence).  Plank walk right one space, 2 merkins.  Repeat up to 10 merkins.  This was terrible and might have been the most challenging cadence call I’ve ever done.  I think everyone felt that one.

Mosey over to the elevated planters and partner up.

P1 Does called exercise, P2 runs around island (audible to run over to trailer and back due to alternate bootcamp clogging up the works).  Exercises were 100 total step ups Right Leg, 100 Left leg, 200 dips.

In the middle we did some Mary – Flutter, Heels to Heaven, Freddy Mercury, Planks, and Squid’s v-position single and double leg raises.

Mosey to bridge for 20 Derkins with feet on top rail.  Mosey around ball fields toward home with a stop of LBC’s while the six caught up.  Stop at cross walk for final 100m AYG to the street and back to cars.  60 seconds left for 10 burpees on your own.

Done

Moleskine:

Good group out there today and appreciate the invite from Dumpster Fire and Cheddar.  And so you all know, those guys have done a great job planning and running that site.  Its a little farther out than our usual comfort zone, but it is growing and encouraging new guys to step out, join F3 and become leaders.  Not to mention they basically roll out the virtual welcome mat for guys coming into Q.  T-Claps men!  Get out  there and try it.

Tried to mix it up a bit from my usual run heavy Q style.  I think everyone got enough Merkins in and that was just the first 15 minutes.

Thanks to Dumpster Fire for the takout.
