Frustrated Tuesday morning Qs unite!

Frustrated Tuesday morning Qs unite!

QIC: Whirly

Date: 01/31/19

PAX: Schneider, Fingers, Whirly (not there: Sour Mash)

Tuesday morning Sour Mash tweeted that the m______ f______s at Parliament refused to follow his directions as Q.  Subsequently, YHC penned a prosaic backblast which implied a slightly similar sentiment about the distinguished gentlemen who attended and nobly participated in Redline.

Upon realizing yesterday morning that YHC had the Q at The Distillery (read: when Sassy inadvertently mentioned it to me in a text about something else) today, I got excited because I knew Sour Mash, as champion of all workouts WeFoCo (not to mention the Site Q of The Distillery), would be in attendance and at least I could count on Sour Mash to follow my instructions.  Sour Mash was not there.

I arrived at the AO closer to Spicoli time than usual, but not late, only to find that Sour Mash was not there.  5:30 came, but I didn’t want to leave the parking lot until Sour Mash showed up.  Sour Mash never showed up.

We decided to carry on as follows:

Carry the cinder blocks that Sour Mash (not present) told me I had to bring to the AO to the shelter, then:

WARMORAMA

Mosey one lap around the football field.

SSH x 20 IC

IST x 20 IC

Arm circles forward x 10 IC, then backward x 10 IC

Toy soldiers x 20 IC

THE THANG

We divided up into teams- Fingers and Schneider were on one team and I was on “the other team.”  If Sour Mash had been there, we would have had at least two teams of two, but Sour Mash wasn’t there, so I had to be a team all by myself.

We rotated between “teams”- one team did reps of a certain exercise and the other team held a static position.  The team doing reps did 10, then they switched to the static position and the other team did nine reps, until we got all the way down to one rep, as follows:

Round 1

Team 1- dirkins

Team 2-  Al Gore

Team 1- box jumps

Team 2- 6″ (as in holding your feet 6″ off the ground)

Team 1- heels to heaven

Team 2- balls to the wall

Mosey to the football field, then sprint to the other end of the filed and back.  Mosey back to the shelter for:

Round 2

Team 1- merkins

Team 2-  static lunge (left leg forward)

Team 1- step-ups (alternating legs)

Team 2- 45 degrees (like 6″ but holding legs at 45 degree angle)

Team 1- gas pumps

Team 2- decline plank

Mosey to the football field, then sprint to the other end of the filed and back.  Mosey back to the shelter for:

Round 3

Team 1- dips

Team 2-  static lunge (right leg forward)

Team 1- donkey kicks

Team 2- superman

Team 1- low flutter

Team 2- plank

Mosey to the football field, then sprint to the other end of the filed and back.  Mosey back to the shelter for:

Round 4

Oopsie, out of time (even though I had two more rounds planned)

Mosey back to the parking lot with the blocks I made Fingers and Schneider carry to the shelter, even though we never used them.

Mary

No time for Mary.  This might be grounds for reprimand by the Site Q, but he wasn’t there, so who cares?

NMM

After whining about the pax at Redline not following my instructions Tuesday morning, I proceeded to violate my own instructions this morning (we were supposed to go ten reps one team, nine reps the other team, etc…after Fingers and Schneider did eight reps of something, I did nine [instead of 7]).  Schneider “didn’t miss” it.

Yesterday Sour Mash, who was sleeping this morning while Fingers, Schneider and I were working out, told me I had to bring cinder blocks to the AO.  I did, but we didn’t use them.  #WTF #truthnugget  Schnieder “didn’t miss” it.

Yesterday I sent Sassy a text (“I love you man.”) and he replied, “You suck, and I’m not coming to your Q at The Distillery tomorrow morning. ” #truthnugget

We were going to use the cinder blocks during Rounds four and five, but didn’t quite make it #nexttime

This workout was basically a plagiarism of TR’s copyright protected workout from TRQ last week, except I, being a kindler, gentler Q, mixed up the muscle groups between reps and static positions. Let me explain- last week TR had us doing merkins while the other partner help plank, or doing squats while the other partner Al Gore’d. I modified so if the team doing reps was doing an upper body exercise, the static position was lower body or core. #you’rewelcome

One last thing- I almost forgot to mention that Sour Mash was not there this morning.

Announcements

It seems like there were some, but I don’t remember what they were.

Prayer requests

It seems like there were some, but I don’t remember what they were.

COT

YHC usually takes the pax out in prayer when I Q, but wasn’t really feeling it this morning, so I turned to ask Sour Mash to take us out, but he wasn’t there, so I took us out.

Always a pleasure gentleman (you too, Sour Mash).
