Count:  8

Weather:  Sunny, hot, humid and 100% chance of sweat.

COP:  TTT x 10 IC; Jumping Jack Medley (10 each), LBACs

The Thang:  Grab a block and meet at end of soccer field.

Perform set of 10 of following exercises with block ( Up & Over, Curls, Squats, Flutter Kicks).  Run forward to other end of field and plank up until 6 is in.

Perform set of 10 of following exercises  ( Merkins, Alternating Shoulder Taps, Monkey Humpers, WWI Situps).  Run backward to other end of field and plank up until 6 is in.

Rinse and repeat.  Able to complete 6 rounds.

Stow Blocks and return to flag.

Mary:  No time for Mary.

Naked Moleskin:  YHC was prepared to modify workout due to the weather conditions but the PAX held strong.  Maybe that is why there was so little mumble chatter.    Middle of workout was interrupted by several sirens so the PAX reluctantly did their mandatory 10 burpees.   When I noticed AED tossing the block down, I reminded the PAX about the broken block rule (10 burpees for all and 20 for the guilty party).  So what happened at the end of the workout?  Yep, Creeper became very popular while we all did burpees again.   The only bright side was YHC was unable to get in his gauntlet of Mary that he had prepared.

THANG: Grab a block and go across the road to the field. Line the blocks up (alternate between blocks standing up and laying down). Split in two team and stand roughly 40 yards apart.

For 5 minutes PAX did 10 reps on an exercise. Then they would run over to the blocks and flip them up or down depending on the team. Losing team does 10 burpees.

Intro: This BB is a bit late so some things are a little blurry to me. All I do know is we had a good showing a fun enough time where it sidelined me the rest of the week.

Weather: Good for a while, then a bit drizzly

FNGs none

COP:

Catalina Winemixer x 10

TTT x10

THANG: Soccer ball

The soccer ball adds another form of randomness that YHC just seems to love. The PAX also like to make me mad when on a high number PAX choice, they choose OHP one of the exercises that’s a pain for me, but as Q full of Q juice I do it.

The idea goes, starting at 10, then 20, 30 40, 40, 30, 20, and 10 for reps.

The ball is tossed to a PAX member what he sees we do. If he sees a star, it’s PAX choice. If he doesn’t catch the ball, 5 burpees for everyone.

Motherboard at age 60 did all 40 monkey Humpers in cadence with me. We both had to take a moment after that one.

MARY: We had done 40 Flutterkicks during the workout, so we did 60 more at the end.

THANG:

YHC has a soccer ball with exercises written on it. For this workout, the ball was tossed at a PAX member. What he saw written first we would do. Each exercise the rep went up by one. First exercise was Curls. One curl was done. The second was Merkins and so on.

Exercises also included but not limited to squats, WW1 sit-ups, Tricep extensions, and if the PAX saw the star first it’d be their choice. We got to 32 reps before we had to stop.

MOLESKIN: During the workout, YHC stated an exercise normally done in cadence (Flutterkicks). Pink Slip, said out loud in a confused voice “In Cadence?!”.
The response was pretty quick for laughter as who the hell does Flutterkicks on Q?

Also YHC did not catch a cold somehow someway. 👍🏼👍🏼

Moleskin: Masterload’s 2.0s mistakenly stated they had something to eat before coming out to Accelerator. While running would make them Merlot, YHC prefers the beat down fashion of making them regret thinking my Q’s  are easy enough to do that. All had. Some broke wind…quite loudly. And we all got better.
