QIC Friar Tuck

PAX: Weewoo, Urkel, Cornfed, Doctor Octopus, Olaf, Sofia

Weather nice

No FNGs

Little loop with a little twist, QIC said it was little loop time but if the Q passed you it became burpee time for you! Weewoo came around and started to challenge the Q resulting in Urkel getting caught in the chase later Weewoo came back around causing Olaf to get caught at the end Doc Octopus pushed the Q and came very close to falling Victim but proved to quick to be caught.

Pledge done with pride (with the Ditch flag due to redo failing to show with the creeks flag!)

Devo: was the end of a 3 peat devo for the Q really pushed himself to get back into it this week. A dream is useless a goal is achieved by planning a plan is executed by holding yourself accountable and overcoming obstacles.

Warm Up: TTT x 15 Hillbillies x 15 imperial walkers x 15 DCs x 10 LBAC forward and back

The THANG

Started with a Billy BOB so it’s all about 10s! On Q each of the exercises were performed 10 reps

Curls, Over head Press, Tricep extensions, lawnmowers left and right, CPRs, 21s (30s by rule of 10 curl to 90 degrees then 90 degrees up then starting up control down to 90 degrees) arm circles out, forward and overhead followed by chestpress. 2 rounds were completed before changing to

The circle of champions: 1 at a time a PAX challenges another PAX that PAX chooses an exercise then they go head to head until someone can’t go anymore! While this is happening the other PAX are performing an exercise around the competitors! This made it all the way around the circle ending with a laughing victory by Maybeline due to Friar Tuck stopping after a loud fart was heard around the world!

Announcement The Ditch will be open tomorrow for a BC offering an opportunity do double down before the convergence or a workout for anyone that can’t make the convergence. Will be a non traditional Saturday as it will only last 40 minutes so those doubling down can make it over to Doty.

Pledge done with pride!

Prayer Led by Mr. Feeny

Devo: QIC talked about just trying to live my best life. I get limited time with my son and we’ve packed in as much as possible and visited some family. Everyone in whole just wants to live their best life and sometimes we lose focus of that.

Moleskin: (longer than usual about 20 minutes) The 2.0 attendance was addressed, some PAX were not happy with how it was addressed on social media and plainly asked the group if anyone had an issue and if issue was had to talk to him as a man there’s no reason to be silent and then complain to someone else about it. This opened it up and other PAX talked about how they enjoyed the attendance and appreciated the push it gave them along with the impressive act of them waking up showing up and working out as everyone agreed we wouldn’t have done so at their age. While it does open them up to MENs conversation that’s a decision the MAN makes by bringing them while at the same time helps others by being aware and improving himself on his own choice of words. In regards to the BOM it is important that every MAN has a chance to unload it’s also important for the 2.0s as well so there will be 2 separate BOMs at The Den when 2.0s attend so all have a safe place to unload any feelings they need to. Every PAX in attendance was in agreement that 2.0s are welcome and if a problem is had by anyone they are welcome to attend and voice that opinion. We preface every workout with how we don’t exist on paper and we aren’t professionals so if we don’t exist why is a rule being placed on the MEN. Ultimately the men of the Den don’t agree with restriction of the 2.0s.

The Thang

PAX moseyed to get blocks and then back to the flagpole

Today’s theme was competition! It’s been proven that you are your fastest when chasing someone or being chased by something so QIC decided to apply the same principles to the BC. PAX circled up and 1 pax stepped forward and called another PAX out to compete in an exercise of their choice. They would then compete in the middle of the circle until one gave up. While this was happening all the other PAX performed the exercise called by the Q.

Went around the circle with call outs making it around 2 complete times. Everything from curls, squats, OHP, SSH, merkins, Block swings, WW1s, BB sit-ups, arm circles and chest press were used during call outs.

For the group during call outs it was everything from calf raises, step ups, curls, squats, sumo squats, over head arm circles and flutter kicks.

Many were impressed and surprised at the numbers put up by various PAX (example Tecmo(2.0) threw up 80 something curls!

No time for Mary

The THANG

Asked the PAX if they wanted blocks bx we could do it either way, eagerly the PAX chose blocks!

Moseyed to the basketball court and lined up. Workout was 10 but only 1 at a time. So 1 dancing bear then zombie walk to the other side for 1 Daniel son repeating adding 1 rep each time. All PAX made it to 10 but then had to work back down bx our buddy the block didn’t do a single rep the entire time! No one made it down but everyone started that way before it was time.

Pledge done with pride

Announcement Friar Tuck will be Qing the Ditch on the 20th for a 40 minute BC for those that want to double up for the Easter convergence or those that can’t make it to the convergence.

Pledge done

Moleskin was a discussion of what the hell happened to the Flag for the Ditch. All the pax talked threw our theories and wondered when the last time it was seen. Concluding we knew nothing we decided to go at which time Prayer Request opened his trunk and what do you know it’s THE FLAG! He declared himself an asshole and apologized. All was forgiven and the mystery of the missing flag was solved.

7 of diamonds it’s like 4 corners but it’s all about 7s so QIC explained it would be 7 reps 14,21,28,35, 42 and 49 (didn’t get to the last round) it was Merkins, sumo squats, overhead press, ball to block, curls for the girls, chest press and burpees (didn’t get to those ran out of time)

Started with no blocks then grabbed them on the 2Nd round transition rotated between Qsac and a hustle with block on the shoulder. At one point WIC said stow the blocks but quickly called April fools as all the PAX asked for them after stating we didn’t need them to start.

Lots of good mumble chatter was had

Devo: QIC talked about being true to yourself about who you are and while we adjust professionally and around kids and other settings at the end of the day you have to be who you are and accept and be proud of that regardless of how others might feel about it. Don’t create issues you can avoid but don’t lie to yourself about who you are And be proud of who you are.

The THANG

Pax grabbed a block and moseyed over to the basketball court lined up on the long side. It was 21s with a horrible twist! We all know how 21s work it was with CPRs and squats, however the transition was the BEARPEE! (That’s a 4 count bear crawls then burpee until you reach the other side) then transitioning back was the walking lunge! Lots of mumble chatter during the BC including Friar F**K for coming up with this full body beatdown.

After we played a little game of don’t get caught. Pax teamed up at 3 different stations squats was the Exercise x10 transition was FAST each PAX had to complete 10 squats then move rinse and repeat if you get passed you get burpees!

Announcement have the hike coming up, Easter convergence upcoming with a breakfast and a May Ruck event.

Prayer led by bedpan

Devo: QIC talked about his week and struggles with family and a few specific expamples of what impacted the week both positively and negatively. Several PaX could relate to different segments of it. Ultimately all agreed what we have here is hard for someone to understand until they come and be apart of it. It’s more than working out as MEN we often keep things to ourselves and here we can let that out among other MEN.
