YHC had a Parliament Q on the calendar and hadn’t given a plan a lot of thought.  At about 9:15 last night it was time to pull something together.  Pull a few oldies out, not run how hard could this be, right?

When YHC pulled in there were already several cars in the lot including a few EC runners.  YHC realized there were new faces in the crowd so some introductions were in order.  Found out we had a guest from Charlotte, one from Carpex and an FNG – wow!  Also several new pax YHC had never met.  Seems $5 Footlong has taken over Rush Chairman from Toe Tag.  We had a full contingent of his friends/co workers.

Enough about the pax – you want to hear about the well planned and finely executed workout.

Warmorama consisted of some of the standards including Whirly with the clap performed in the presence of its namesake.  We finished it off with one of the best sets of Dry Dock Crabs that YHC has witnessed with the Dash pax.  Some of you are finally catching on.

We moseyed to the wall – while having to remind Fender to slow down in his Chuck Taylors – this is a non running workout.  At the wall we assumed People’s Chair and in order performed 10 Jack Reachers each.  Burlap decided to count in silent and others took their time in counting or counted backwards.  Variety is the spice of life. We pushed on with a set of donkey kicks OYO, some BTTW/ alternating shoulder taps, fast feet on the curb then bear crawl across to grass for 10 merkins and bc back. That was so much fun we did that entire wall/curb/bear crawl set again.

Then another mosey over to the benches.  There we rotated thru alternating step ups, irkins, derkins and dips.  Some complained at this point. Q ignored them and we did this again.

At that point the well thought out plan had an routine planned that would have worked well for 6-10 but with 19 pax wanting more work YHC could not let them down.  Omaha was called and we moseyed around the corner to the blocks.  We had enough for all but to compensate for the varying sizes a few were strategically placed and rotation was called after each exercise.  We performed curls, OH presses, skull crushers and BORows.  As with the other routines of the day we did a repeat.

Just enough time to put up blocks and mosey back to the front.  With all the new guys and visitors YHC had to work in a short Sumo Drill.  A few Mary exercises and we’re done.

It was truly awesome to see all the pax there.  It was close to if not a Parliament record.  Only other time I could remember this many was when the track was icy and Red Line guys joined us.

The aforementioned $5 Footlong has been busy EHing FNGs – Not sure exactly who he gets credit for but good job.

Speaking of FNGs – Welcome FNG Shirley (some discussion on Twitter as to how to spell – Q decision that this way is better) fka Anthony Pilcher.  He’s a coworker of $5 FL and they make airplane seats – thus the movie Airplane which brought out several good possibilities – Shirley was the winner.

Welcome also to visiting pax – Bartman from Carpex who I had a great conversation afterward which led to a podcast interview.  We also had a pax from Charlotte but I hate to admit with all the guys that I didn’t know I’m not sure which one he was.  Someone please help an overwhelmed Q out with that.

Thanks to all the pax for going with the plan or lack thereof – think it was sufficient

It’s always an honor but even more so today
