PRAYERS:

$5 Footlong had a CT scan.

For those PAX’s relatives with COVID related issues.

Forsyth County medical facilities at or nearing capacity for COVID-19.  All elective surgeries are postponed.

NAKED MAN MOLESKIN:

There was an undeserved amount of negative louder-than-a-mumble chatter thrown at the Q by warmup exercise #2, “Time Wasters”.  In a related note, by Station #3, the PAX were asking for a redux of “Time Wasters”.  As Q, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.  Stop whining about your lower body.  I’m sure that it was plenty warm by the time you got to the second station.

Let it be known that @CherryPie doesn’t come to beatdowns for shoulder mess.

Whatever the hell @Drip knocked me out with pre-surgery (and yes, he even smiles while gassing a patient) somehow fixed all of the other PAX’s ability to keep up with my #perfectcadence.  #TruthNugget

@Bevo didn’t suffer even a little.  By his own admission, he “felt great” after the workout.  I’ll try harder next time to create a routine that’ll challenge you.  As for every other thing he said during the beatdown, I just ignored that.

The H.O.G. did what The H.O.G. does and led the PAX at all costs.  That kid was out front and never looked back.

Lots and lots and lots of modifications this morning.  I didn’t realize so many people had form limiting injuries or were in the recovery protocol that affected their abilities to execute the called exercises correctly.  YHC presents the sincerest of apologies.  Had I known beforehand, I would have designed a workout that the PAX could have actually done.  My bad.

I think more PAX should take a page out of @HoneyBadger’s book.  You know why he’s able to completely dominate each and every workout?  It’s because he doesn’t waste all of his energy making ridiculous, asinine, and completely useless statements to the Q.  He just goes and f*#!ing dominates.  #HeadDown #WorkHard #Can’tLose … or something like that.

@VanGogh was killing it (not a shock to anyone) until he remembered he hurt himself using his daughter’s kettlebells yesterday.  I might have jumbled the facts a bit in that last sentence, but I think I used some of the same words he did when he explained the situation.  But let’s be honest, I wasn’t really listening.

For any Q’s future reference, it is quite acceptable to demonstrate an exercise that Palin requests with a single finger … dealer’s choice.

@Greenspan wins the award for putting on his big boy panties and extending his laps to the full length of the parking lot.  Although the Q was not able to witness the shenanigans (or hear his name sung in praise) at the top of the parking lot, he noticed that several of the PAX kept moving the bottom station closer and closer to the middle, thereby shortening each lap.  Hmm.  Must be something about the Calvary parking lots.  @Huckleberry?  Might need to get the church elders to look into that.

@RootCanal will make a great #WIB Site Q.

Don’t ever challenge @CherryPie’s form.  It will just motivate him further and Mr. Robot will somehow find yet another gear to kick everyone’s ass at the workout.

The playlist this morning was Twisted Christmas by Bob Rivers.  It did not appear that many of the PAX were familiar with it.

@Burns only posted this morning because he HC’ed last night and didn’t want to suffer the fartsack burpee penalty.  Well that decision clearly backfired as he likely did more burpees during the workout than he would have if he had accepted the penalty.  But being the #HIM that he is, he turned the situation into a positive, expressing his appreciation for the men next to him.

This is important.  From the Q’s vantage point, @Huckleberry did not spill Egg Nog.  Vegas was giving better than even odds that last night’s libations were going to make an unfortunate appearance.

@RootCanal better start acting his age.  I hope I can go one quarter as hard as he goes when I’m half his age.

With a few minutes to go, Van Gogh just gave up.  He laid in the parking lot and (his words) “rubbed it out on the curb”.  Sometimes you just can’t make that stuff up.

Bevo led the men in the 3rd F.

Zima Out.

Burns, since I’m not very mobile at the moment, I just dropped the keys in the same damn spot I was in all morning.  They shouldn’t be too hard to find.
