QIC: Airbag
Date: 9/23/20
PAX: Organ Grinder, TPS, Data, Poncho, Manscape, Bluto, Interference, Balco, Winklevoss, The Singing Cowboy, Closer, Spam, Airbag
A baker’s dozen (tip of the cap to The Singing Cowboy for the Twitter knowledge drop) assembled for a good ole’ fashioned VQ in the crisp Fall gloom. Expectations were managed at best, but the Pax stuck with it and reminded yours truly to take it a step at a time. Big thanks to a previous Q by Manscape that served as the inspiration for the morning pain.
The Pax assembled on the basketball court to start, then to three pain stations in the parking lot, along with a short run for good measure. The Q was designed to use all that the GBF clubhouse site has to offer.
W-o-R:
On the basketball court, lanterns on the far end to ill-gloom-inate.
SSH, Windmill, IST, Michael Phelps, Moroccan Night Club all x 15, all IC
Then the twist, inspired by copious NBA playoff bubble watching, the dynamic W-o-R …
Partner exercise, full court suicides x 8 while partner does squats (first 4) and lunges (second 4)
The Thang:
On to the pain stations…after completing the first 3 exercises in all three stations, the Pax did a single lap around the Old Pfafftown median to get a bit of hill work in, airbag dubbed, OPMs. E.g. Station 1, 2, 3 -> OPM, Station 1, 2, 3 -> OPM and so on…
Station 1 : Bells, all x 20 OYO, one arm exercises were 10L/10R
Bent Over Rows, Overhead Press, Skull Crushers, Goblet Squats, Elf on the Shelf, Kettle Bell Swings, Pullovers, Curls, Upright Rows
Station 2: Core and Merkin-mania, all x 20 OYO
Plank Jacks, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Mike Tysons, Hand Release Merkins, Peter Parkers, Wide Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Nolan Ryans
Station 3 Ab-o-rama, all x 30, just mutton crunch was 15L/15R

Mary was built in today and we ran out of time.

Prayer requests went out for those of us coping with illness of friends and loved ones, and caring for aging parents at home (The Singing Cowboy). We asked for strength and perseverance adjusting our the new normal.
It was a great workout and experience, thank you all!
