Date: 4/11/18

Pax: Cobra, Winklevoss, Poncho, Tuco, In, Z, Burns (WB), PETA, Fingers (WD), Bluto, Hoptoberfest, Light Brigade, Lace, BAM (QIC)

Not fully recovered from pain inflicted by Snooki and Cherry Pie, the Q tried to think of a way to work out his own soreness, give the pax a good beatdown, and not be the 6 again.  Well 2 out of 3 ain’t bad!

Pax were a little slow to gather even according to NDT (Nantan Daylight Time), so Q launched into the first exercise as crowd pulled in and got ready to work.

Warm-o-rama

• SSH
• IW
• Copperhead Squat
• Tempo Merkin
• Whirly is too social for his own good
• Peter Parker

The Thang

For most things in life, focusing on the negative makes you wind up like Mongoose, but it can be a great way to push your muscles!  So, pax did slow and steady 4 count on the negative of the exercise 12 times:

• Pullover
• Skull crusher
• press

Lung Buster x 3 – :30 secs to sprint across parking lot and back

• Goblet squat
• L leg lunge
• R leg lung

Lung buster x 3

• Kettlebell swing x 30
• R arm push press x 15
• L arm push press x 15

Repeato this list again!

Then added some bent over row (slow count on the negative of course)

Pull overs

Lung busters x 2

Mary

• Scissors
• Freddie Mercs
• Metronome

NMM

• Our beloved Nantan attempted to carry on a second conversation during the warm-o-rama.  Feeling properly chastised, he and the pax attempted to gang up on the Q with a weak attempt at MC.  It was cute and fully expected.  As the parent of 4 kids, YHC has learned that ignoring childish behavior is the quickest way to get them to stop it.  It’s only an attempt to get attention and to find meaning out of their otherwise inconsequential lives.
• 7 seemed to be a popular number to repeat every time, regardless of the count.  PETA was kind enough to keep this “joke” going throughout the beatdown
• It was determined that Pax need to go to Pax-school (that’s not a real thing PETA) to learn the difference between the proper response to the command “Ready” and “Go”.  Typically you would “go” on “go”, but some pax were confused by this nuance.
• Winklevoss often would reply with “no” when Q would give the “ready command.”  Although a product of a school known for things other than education, this witty comment was well played.
• Winston, the dog, could be heard cheering the pax on during each Lung Buster section.  All but Cobra were thankful.
• The playlist today was a Pandora station based on the song “One Way Out” by the Allman Brothers Band.  So, there were two instrumentals that came up, this seemed confusing to Bluto, who likes to sing.
• Bluto then shared he likes to “tickle the ivory,” Pax thought that was a little too much info to share so early.
• All above comments that seem mean-spirited are said in jest.  The Q was not held enough as a child so his only way to show love is to push away those closest to him.
