Simple, Yet Effective

QIC: Zima

Date: 2/15/25

PAX: Bagpipe (Murph), Rubber Ducky (Murph), Root Canal (Murph), Drip, Subfloor, Cruiser, Spicoli, Zima (Murph)

TIME WASTERS.

Please tell me that you didn’t come here to read how we “warmed up”.  Something that should be done BEFORE arrival.

BEATDOWN.

Overhead Press (with cinder block) x 10 IC

Rifle Carry Reverse Peloton from block storage area to the side parking lot.  When a PAX lowers block, all PAX stop and do 3 burpees.

Main Event

At one end of the parking lot while waiting on the six: rotate between SSH x 25 and LBC x 25 in order to start all new rounds together.

Mountain Climbers x ?? (until the designated PAX says “go”).

Sprint to the first traffic island.

WMDs x 10.

Sprint to the end of the parking lot.

Blockees with full block thruster x 15.

JOG back to start.

Rinse and repeat.  No need to include other exercises.

MARY.

Low Dollies with block x 15 IC

Rifle Carry Reverse Peloton.

Rifle Carry Jailbreak.

DONE.

NMM:

• First and foremost – EXCELLENT hard work by all the PAX who posted.  This was not an easy beatdown.
• Curiously, no other PAX who posted at OGs/Tractors also posted at Alcatraz.  I’m not sure why not  There was zero elevation.
• During the Reverse Peloton, instructions were liberally followed, such as “running” and “locking out elbows”.
• YHC assumed the word “jog” was a common term.  My bad.  Maybe if I had used “mosey”, the PAX would not have been confused.
• The chiseled-out-of-rock PAX known as Bagpipe, occasionally had to stop to take a breath.  I could not believe my eyes.
• Drip cheats.  Using a bionic knee that allows him to dominate exercises is just plain unfair.  Sure, I’m all for the transhumanist movement, but don’t show the rest of us.
• Speaking of making us look silly, grandpapa Root Canal was there.  When I’m 94 years old and have had 37 surgeries, I hope I can consistently outwork people one third of my age.
• Don’t bet against Ducky in a short distance straight sprint.  You’ve been warned. 
• What would happen if someone snuck into Spicoli’s house and set all of the clocks ahead by a half hour?  What time would he show up to a beatdown?
• T-Rex Claps were given.
• Honestly, I don’t know what Cruiser was doing because I refused to look in his direction.  Everytime I think I have decent squat form, I look over at him and get embarrassed.  He’s got the BEST squat thruster form in the Dash!
• I’m pretty sure that Subfloor was actually posting memes on Slack during the beatdown.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• There might have been Greenest today.
• Samaritan Ministries today.
• Bagpipe will be taking over the Site Q duties at The Iron Throne on March 17.
• Wooly Bugger has the Alcatraz Q next week.
• Drip might have Mayhem on Wednesday.

PRAYERS:

• The Ms of Lamb Chop and Rollback.
• Bagpipe’s friend who had cancerous tumors removed.

Zima Out.
