Let’s Try This Again

QIC: Turnover

Date: 11.16.20

PAX: Greenspan , Total Recall , Spamalot , BAM , Green Acres (WD) , Little Piggy (WB) , Tigger , Turnover (Q)

The Phoenix came back to The Outhouse for Round 2 of YHC’s rendition of an IPC favorite: Meter’s 43.

In the first iteration of this beatdown, the workout sucked and so did YHC’s speaker as it decided to stop working after only 15 minutes or so. Unfortunately for all involved, the second iteration of this beatdown was eerily similar to the first.

Format: 1 minute of warmup, 43 minutes of work, 1 minute of cool down (at least that was the plan)

Warm o Rama

SSH x10 IC

IST x10 IC

The THANG

PAX were to perform prescribed repetitions of exercises listed on the cardboard and upon completion would perform suicides on the tennis courts and then Repeato until time was called

10 Jump-Over-Block Burpees

15 Block Thrusters

20 Curls

25 Bent Over Rows (YHC heard @Plunger refer to these as “Bros” as in “B. Rows” a couple weeks ago at #TRQ, so YHC will be referring to them as “Bros” henceforth)

30 Low Flutter (DC)

-Suicides-

There was some solid MC this morning so YHC didn’t have a great idea of how many rounds everyone got through. It was abundantly clear that everyone was working their tails off though.

@Greenspan has the Q at #Mayhem on Wednesday

#TheEstate and #TheOuthouse will be permanently converging at a new AO called #TheIronThrone that will be held at Sherwood Elementary starting in January. @Tigger will be the Site Q there. #WinterIsComing

Prayer Requests for @Greenspan’s co-worker , @TR’s neighbor, and @$5 Footlong

YHC took us out asking for peace and healing.

Big thanks to @Greenspan for the company for a 1.2 mile EC run. It was an eventful outing as we were joined by a decent sized buck and an exorbitant amount of poorly placed leaves.

Shoutout to @Little Piggy who, other than @Greenspan, was the only PAX from Round 1 of The Phoenix to show back up for Round 2. AND he was the only psychopath there that was toting his cinderblock with him whilst completing the suicides!! What in the world!? Dude’s an animal. Great work!

@Tigger was very concerned with the temperature and his corresponding attire. He also mentioned that this was his first career post at #TheOuthouse.

@TR was putting in some serious work even while dealing with the cumbersome 30lb dumbbell as opposed to the cinder block. Also, @TR’s grandfather is going to be on the Today Show this week. It is a piece about finding love later in life, and @TR’s grandfather, a newlywed at the age of 92, would know a thing or two about that.

The winner of the “least surprising thing that happened at a beatdown” award goes to @Green Acres for being an absolute beast, deciding that since he was RIRO’ing, he didn’t need to do the suicides, but just spent the entire 43 minutes annihilating the exercises, and then made everyone do 30 merkins before we left so he could hit his 100 merkins for the day. YHC did not call for the merkins, but I was not about to disagree with @Green Acres on anything.

The lively duo of @Spam and @BAM spent the morning getting after it and modifying where was necessary, but their contributions to the group ranged from 1) criticizing the music (shocker) before the speaker quit 12 minutes in (double shocker),  2)recalling past Q’s of alarmingly high rep counts and low creativity, 3) arguments for and against various primary platforms of communication for F3WS 4)  The ‘Rona, 5) some sort of twitter countdown @Spam has going (I wonder what that could be about?????), and 6) mostly just random movie quotes that the rest of the PAX were too young to get.

@Greenspan also voiced his hope that President-Elect Biden will kickoff #ExecutiveOrderSZN with something forbidding the use of cinderblocks or cinderblocks on tennis courts or something to that effect. I was in and out of consciousness the whole time, so I’m not positive on the verbiage used, tbh.

@TR also taught us about customer profiles in the car industry and how every 52 year old man’s biggest fear is being asked by their kids to move a couch and not having the means to do so.

Related: @Tigger, @TR, and YHC had a delightful discussion about minivans, wins and losses with car purchases, and the impending obsolescence of brick and mortar dealerships. The conversation was so inspiring that YHC purchased a minivan later that day. True story.

Lastly and most importantly: YHC’s speaker is a piece of garbage and will not be making any return trips to any future Q’s. There’s just something about hearing Chris Stapleton soliciting people to Ride his Rocket that gets you jacked up, and not having that this morning put a significant damper on the experience as a whole. @Spam and @BAM were the most disappointed by far.

Thanks for the keys @Greeny. I dropped them in that ginormous pile of leaves on Tallison Dr.
