What do you do at a Rock-less Rock Quarry?

What do you do at a Rock-less Rock Quarry?

QIC: Burlap

Date: 16 May 2024

PAX: Ludikrous (WB), D-Day, Goofy, Ziggy Stardust, Boomerang, Root Canal, Green Acres (WD), and Burlap (QIC)

YHC took seriously the “no running” rule of TRQ and never strayed from the parking lot.  As the reader can see below, we had stations around the lot but walked in between.  Yet, there was still strength work, endurance, sweat, and groaning at today’s TRQ.  (insert joke here).  Here is what we did:

SSH IC

IW IC

Squats IC

Merkins IC

Arm Swirlies forward IC Morrocan nightclubs IC arm swirlies backward IC Michael Phelps IC

Hillbillies IC

Abe Vigodas IC and Whirlies IC (compliments of Goofy and Ziggy while Q grabs his weinke)

The Thang:   CIRCLE with FIVE STATIONS

Bear crawl left to right through covered walkway, stopping for merkins at each post except for Zero post.  Merkins = post number.  Up to 10 for total of 55 merkins.

Over to planter for deep lunge walk around all four sides of planter.

Over to light pole for 20 Burpees.

Over to next light pole for 30 plank jacks.

Around the corner to the entrance light pole for 40 LBCs.

Rotate until 5:56. Then change up exercises.

10 jump squats under covered walkway

Over to planter for reverse deep lunge walks around planter.

Over to light pole for 20 Mike Tysons.

Over to next light pole for 30 mountain climbers, count the right leg.

Over to last light for 40 low flutters, count the right leg.

Rotate until 6:09.

Back to start for Mary

Fire hydrants each leg

Box cutters each direction

Slow Freddie Mercuries

One legged dolleys and flapjack

Mutton crunches.

• Green Acres was the fastest guy in the pre-TRQ run club today.
• YHC got there with only 3 minutes to spare and wanted to set up music, so I left the weinke in the car.  I got it out while Goofy and Ziggy (I think) were finishing the warm-o-rama.  Thanks, guys!
• YHC had not worked out with Ludikrous yet, and enjoyed the opportunity today.  At one point, YHC saw Ludikrous standing by a few guys were doing the LBCs, and I guessed either (a) he did his faster and was politely waiting or (b) his abs are so young and rock solid that he doesn’t need LBCs.  Or both.
• D-Day started at the LBC station (I think) and was faster than me.  So for the first set of exercises, I did precisely two rounds, but D-Day did the LBCs thrice and was halfway through the dreaded bearcrawl thing for the third time when the Q said, “recover”.  He was fast again with the second set that also lasted two rounds for me.
• Boomerang was hanging out with Goofy (I think) most of the morning, and was unusually quiet — at least, he was so far ahead of me that I couldn’t hear his complaining, uh constructive comments.
• Root Canal was moving pretty quickly through the stations and knocking out burpees nicely.  The Q tried to satisfy Root Canal’s desires but going to at least 12 on most exercises during Warmorama and Mary.  He was appreciative.
• Green Acres seemed to enjoy the awful bearcrawl-merkin thing.  He was the only one.
• The Pax did not seem to enjoy the one-legged dolleys.  Try them; it is deceptively difficult to keep one leg straight and still while the other moves out and in.

An honor to lead this morning, as always.

Peace,

Burlap
