Zima Went to the Paul McCartney Concert

Zima Went to the Paul McCartney Concert

QIC: Burns

Date: 5.23.22

PAX: Zima, Workbench, Schlitz, Jammer, Crash, Green Acres (WD), Greenspan, Palin, Frostbite (WB), Turnover, Transcript, Burns (QIC)

YHC took the reins this AM knowing full well that I would be on a short night’s sleep, so I figured I should bring my ALARMS with me to the workout to make sure I got up in time.

0522: arrive to the AO, weinkes in hand, Green Acres doing some full body destroyers following his run in, otherwise all quiet. I set off to place the weinkes

0527: arrive back to launch to a raucus crowd anxiously awaiting the return of the Q. Maybe it was just Palin, but the pax seemed especially loud.

0530: recite the mission statement and core principles (flawlessly) and begin the beatdown

Mosey around the carpool circle. Back at the top, SSH x15 IC, Hillbilly x15 IC, Michael Phelps x15 IC, Copperhead Lunge x10 IC each leg.

Mosey the long way to the blocks to find my first ALARM going off. Grab a block and circle around the weinke

• Arms: Curls x30
• Legs: Squat Thrusters x25
• Abs: Heels to Heaven x20
• Run: around the parking lot
• Merkins: Diamonds x15
• Sprint: to the playground

At the playground YHC had set another ALARM just in case my first one didn’t get me out of bed.

• Arms: Pullups x10
• Legs: Jump Squats x15
• Abs: American Hammer x20
• Run: around the parking lot
• Merkins: Incline x25
• Sprint: to the blocks

We rinsed and repeated 3 times total and had just enough time to play a round of “Red Burpee, Green Burpee.” YHC went to one end of the parking lot and started off by doing 3 burpees. The pax were told to follow suit and then begin sprinting towards the Q (green burpee). YHC could then start doing 3 more burpees (red burpee) and all pax had to stop and do the same before getting on the move again.

Back to the launch for Mary – Alt Shoulder Taps x15IC, Freddie Mercurys x15IC, Muttons L & R x15 IC. Fin.

No less that two dozen times during the workout Zima mentioned that he went to the Paul McCartney concert. Turnover and Greenspan had some notable competition on the sprints between ALARMs. Green Acres requested an extra set of 10 pullups after the final set. Palin tried to EH Schlitz to go to Zima’s Redline tomorrow and Schlitz revealed that he still hasn’t budged in his stauch avoidance of all things Zima. Crash was out front on the block work portion of the beatdown…he needs to supply some special extra heavy coupons as a handicap. Frostbite and Transcript just kept their heads down and grinded through. Jammer actually thanked me at the end. He might just be crazy enough to fit right in.

I saw little -if any- modifications made. YHC was wiped at the end of this. Many shared the same sentiment. It was a great start to the week with some of my favorite people.

Announcements: Workbench is leading a Memorial Day convergence at #TheEstate (aka Reynolda Village). 0700. Workbench also has Flatline tomorrow. Zima has Redline tomorrow and Schlitz won’t be there. Green Acres has TRQ this week. IS will converge at Purgatory for Spam’s final Q. The Launchpad will begin on 6/6 – let me know if you’d like to Q up north.

YHC took us out thanking the sky q for the ability to do hard things and the encouragement to choose to do so. Thanks for the keys, Crash!
