A Wolfpack Win = A Happy Q



A Wolfpack Win = A Happy Q

I had no other title ready…so why not continue to crow about my Wolfpack beating the Tar Holes.

Heard from Posse that Coco Crisp was visiting from Raleigh so I connected with him on Twitter yesterday for the personal invite to Chiseled (suck on that Dromedary).  After seeing the Sloberin’ Wolf on his tire cover, I knew he was a good dude.  Later found out we were both Unicorns (business majors instead of Engineers from NC State).

Any who….DiCCS covered.  Warned of no warm up.   Lets go.

 

WARM UP

THE THANG

Mosey towards the rock pile.  Audible.  Few late stragglers with no blocks.  180 back towards the blocks.  Apparently we will warm up while stragglers grab blocks (Shout out to Loafer for the assist here).

25 SSH

10 Merkins

5 T Merkins

That killed enough time for everyone to locate a block.  Mosey to the rock pile.  Grab a lifting rock and do Curls while waiting on the 6.   Line rocks on one curb (with our blocks being at the other end of the parking lot).   Run to blocks for 30 chest presses.  Run back to Rocks for 10 staggered Merkins.  Repeat 3 times.  (It was around here that Posse decided to join us).  Once done, circle back for the 6 (Dang, Coco is fast) and gather on the rock side.

20 tricep extensions with Rock and 20 curb dips.  Repeat for 3 rounds.  Posse started channeling his inner Damascus here questioning counts.  This theme continued through the rest of the workout.

Rocks up and In/Outs while waiting on 6.  Mosey back to blocks and get in groups of 3.   P1: Curls.   P2: Block jumps.   P3: Runner (timer) half lap around the lot.    Repeat for 3 rounds.

30 Block presses, crawl bear (roughly 10 crawls), 10 Dry docks.  Repeat 3 times.   Several pax started getting angry about the reps here.  I clearly remember Posse and Ice 9 questioning but there was more mumble chatter that I didn’t quite pick up.

Watch Check, a few more minutes.   Groups of 3 again.  P1: Block Squat.   P2: Row.  P3: Half Lap.   We had enough time for one time through.

Quick Mosey back to COT.   Finito.

 

MOLESKIN

  • Great work today by so many.
  • Turn Buckle continues to push through and run at his pace at the workouts.   Great job.
  • Chainsaw, the double respect, putting most out there to shame.  He is leading next week and we should all be scared of what pain he has in store for us.
  • Coco was out front all day today.  Learned that he is the 3rd F Q in Raleigh.
  • Posse continues to the the stick poker at my workouts.  Since he showed up 5 minutes late I was able to poke back today.
  • I thought I was going to get a dry heave out of Ice 9 today, but he was able to get it under control.
  • Welcome Pennywise brought out by Ice 9.  There was a long reason why we went with Pennywise….but I forgot it.   Something about his writings and travels.   He is a Lawsonite (like we need any more of those guys).
  • Banjo arrives to a site he use to Site Q asking if we needed gear and if so where was it.   Really???   Has it been that long?
  • I had the Christmas playlist going starting with one of my favorites – Clarence Carter singing Back Door Santa.   If you’ve never head it, I highly recommend a quick listen as its only a 2 minute song.   (Yes, the same Clarence Cater who sings “I get the women saying Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, Clarence Carter, ooooh shit, Clarence Carter).
  • Ex-Lax continuing the finance discussions with me after the workout.   Love the Finance channel.
  • O-69 pushing through a severe leg cramp earlier in the week out there getting steps in.
  • Last minute substi-Q while Transporter recovers from his back injury (who says you cant get injured while rucking).  Hoping he recovers quickly and comes back out to deliver a Chiseled beat down in 2021.
  • Thanks to Posse for last minute organizing a 2nd F breakfast at Stacks.   Coco, Posse, Radar, Surge, and myself were there.  It allowed us to grill ask Coco Crisp to share some experiences from Raleigh as well as pass on some unique culture from Waxhaw.   Some things he added to his list was DiCCS (once we got the spelling right for him), 6th man, and our use of FOMO (backblasts, family photo’s, and Groupme meme’s/call outs.  Being the 3rd F Q for Raleigh was interesting hearing all they have been doing and are doing.  For those that don’t know, Raleigh organized trips down to the coast to help with Hurricane Florence clean up for over a year after it hit (that’s right over a year).   They truly led during this time when leadership and help was needed.   They’ve also held several fundraisers, most recently an over night half marathon through Oakwood cemetery (creepy).  I must have heard the number wrong because I sear I think I heard him say they raised over $70,000 dollars.  They’ve also combined the Q source and a third F alternating weekly between the two (It would be like if we combined Open Door and Q Source).
