16 of us gathered this morning to work on our 6-Packs and legs in cooler-than-advertised weather.

Warm-a-Rama consisted of 1 Blue Hawaii Lap followed by

Mountain Climbers x 10 IC

Merkens x 10 IC

SSH x 10 IC

Imperial Walkers x 10 IC

Cotton Pickers x 10 IC

We then moved on to The Thang: we broke up into 4 groups of 4 at 4 corners with a cone in the middle.  While all members of a group were in plank, each person ran to the middle cone, did 10 squats, ran back until the next person went until all were done.  All others held plank until the 6 was in.  We then repeated that with lunges to the cone, monkey humpers, run back.  The 3rd round we did frog jumps, jump squats and ran back.  The 4th round we did bear crawl, 10 merkens and ran back.  Planked out, we moved on to

Bruce Lee: American Hammer x 20 IC, Leg Lifts x 20 IC, LBC’s single count x 20, Heel Touches x 20 IC, Crunchy Frogs x 20 IC, and 1 set of 100’s

Moving to the flower bed, we then did 1 set of Aiken Legs (20 squats, 20 box jumps, 20 lunges, 20 iron mikes) followed by a Blue Hawaii Lap.  This was rinsed and repeated x 2 for a total of 3 sets.

Then it was on to Bruce Lee #2

Back at the parking lot, we did a set of Lieutenant Dans to the middle cone, 10 Merkens and ran back.  This was repeated 2 more times with Lunges and Frog Jumps.

We finished up with Bruce Lee #3

Thanks for coming out.  Good work!

The Highway Energy Conservation Act that set the speed limit at 55 was projected by the Federal government to reduce gasoline consumption by 2.2% nationwide.  Actual savings were only in the .5% range.  It was however, a major source or revenue for many jurisdictions as the limit was widely disregarded by motorists.  Our family sedan went to a Chevrolet Caprice with a 305 and a Chevrolet Cavalier, which was a real P.O.S. and an embarrassment to a once great American Automobile industry.  I think the Cavalier topped out around 55.

We ran another victory lap and then proceeded to the wood shed on #15 for pull-ups and push-ups.  Prayers for Deuce, hope the ankle is OK brother.

Pleasure to lead, peace out….Tom.

• WHEN: 10/2/2019 5:30
• WHO: Any man or FNG
• WEATHER: yes




In 1974 the federal government passed the HIghway Energy Conservation Act prohibiting speed limits higher than 55 mph.   Our family sedan was a Buick Estate 225 wagon with 400 cubic inches under the hood.  None of this has anything to do with the workout tomorrow which seems to be a trend for pre-blasts.

19 souls gathered this AM for another round of Bushwood.  Weather was optimal and just humid enough to get a good sweat going. YHC has not been Q for awhile so I dusted off an oldie but goodie that was sure to bring some mumblechatter.  No FNG’s so we jumped right into….

Warmarama

Windmills x10, Helicopter X10, Imperial Walker X20 , Crab Cake X20, Freddie Mercury X20 – 5 Burpees OYO  **5 burpees to be done whenever the Q’s watch beeps (every 5 minutes) We also sprinkled in some Sumo jump squats for good measure OYO.  Short mosey to the Tennis courts for…

The Thing/ Fantastic 40’s

Partner up for 1 rounds of 20 Wheelbarrow steps and 10 then 20 partner leg tosses.  Group was split in half on opposite sidelines so half of the Pax would be crossing back and forth across court 1 or 2 for their respective work.

At the end line 10 merkins, lunge across Court 1 or 2, 10 monkey humpers, Lunge  back across Court , 10 Scorpion Dry Docks, Lunge across Court 1 or 2 , 10 WWI, Lunge back to across Court  – AL Gore for the 6

Repeato going back with 20 of each and bunny hopping across each court.  Plank at the end.

Repeato with 30 of each and bear crawl across each court – Al Gore for the 6

One more time with 40 of each and crabwalk across each court (had to modify LBCs for WWII bc at this point I was gassed). – Plank for the 6

Mosey back to parking lot  for Mary, 007s, Box Cutters x 10, Unicorn crunches x 10 each side, LSF x 10, 6 burpees OYO.

No new announcements. There was a little friendly banter about App State’s win over UNC last weekend.  Exciting game but in the end the better team won.  At least we don’t have to wait 50 years for the rematch.  UNC plays at App state in 2022,  which will be Sam Howell’s senior year Heisman campaign!

YHC took us out in prayer.

Always a pleasure!

What’s that?  2 of the PAX tried to sign up to Q at the same time?  Imagine that……great problem to have.  Thanks Flanksteak for allowing me to take today.  With no plan just 18 hours prior to today’s workout, YHC thought about an old Mark Chesnutt song, ‘I’ll think of something’.  I think the PAX enjoyed.
