F3WS Royalty Returns, and a Upper Body Beatdown at TRQ

QIC: Burns

Date: 12.19.24

PAX: Pollster (EC), Wobegon (EC), BAM (EC), Plunger (EC, Legend), Green Acres (RIRO), Superfly, D-Day, Drama Queen, Ziggy Stardust, Rollback, Boomerang, Argyle, Starfish, Lamb Chop, Burns (QIC, EC, WB)

Green Acres gave me the EH to Q last week via Slack, and Green Acres is the kinda guy you can’t say no to. So nice and mild mannered but could easily separate your head from your shoulders. If I had a daughter I would hire Green Acres to be their crazy uncle who will challenge any potential suitors to a pushup or pullup contest before they can take her on a date. He would just show up in his trademarked tank top and it would be curtains for the dweeby teen who thought themselves worthy. Alas, I don’t have a daughter – but those of you who do, it’s not a bad idea, right?

WoR – SSH x15ic, Hillbillies x15ic, Whirlies (still got the clap after all these years) x15ic, Abe Vigodas x6ic (slow), Peter Parkers x10ic, some broga, Mtn Climbers x10ic, some more broga, Michael Phelps x10ic.

The thang, pt 1: Transportation to the rocks, as such –>  Bear crawl to the square planter, do 15 derkins. Lunge walk to the first traffic island in the parking lot, do 15 merkins. Bear crawl to the 2nd island, do 15 diamond merkins. Lunge walk to the 3rd island, do 15 wide merkins. Bear crawl to the 4th island, do 15 hand release merkins. Lunge walk to the 5th island, do 15 irkins.

The thang, pt 2: Grab a rock you’re comfortable doing high reps with. 6 exercises – curls, OH press, rock swings, skull crushers, chest press, and american hammers. Do all x25, repeato x20, then 15, 10, and 5. 10 counts in between sets.

The thang, pt 3: Repeato pt 1 but backwards to get back to launch.

Mary: Rotating fashion. Most of the regulars, and some bogus climbing crunch that Plunger brought from Charleston that will not be making a reappearance here in the dash.

180 merkins and 450 rock reps is not too shabby, especially when most of it is upper body focused. Might bring this beatdown back in the future. Hand release merkins are a crowd pleaser on a damp morning. Repeating the thang pt 1 was also a crowd pleaser…can’t deviate from the weinke! Some complaints about the lack of a speaker, I’ll own that one. Other complaints about the excessive merkins…okay yeah I’ll own that too. Altogether studly effort by a consistent and resolute group of HIM. Great having Plunger back in the dash! Caught up with him on the EC run, it was wonderful to hear about the goings on in Charleston, and he’s going to be a grandfather in June!

Announcements – Greenest on Sat, need volunteers. 11 yr convergence coming up on 1/4 at the mothaship. Green Acres has TRQ next week, Wobey UA tomorrow.

YHC took us out
