Bad Decisions on Gardenia

Leave a comment

Been a while since Q’ing and not in my best shape but felt like we all needed a kick in the teeth and had some bad ideas…

WARMUP: Sasquatch and YHC ran about 2.5 mile pre-run down Dave Gibson, past school, and up around Walmart.

THE THANG:
Head towards Gardenia hill in Baxter ~1.5miles…

Monkey humpers on 160 until a couple cars passed… maybe 20 IC

Every quarter mile stop for IC exercises that stacked….
merkins then add LBCs then add LSS then add SSH

At bottom of Gardenia come up with a lot of bad ideas….

all you got to the top then struggle through some IC SSH for the 6

Mosey to bottom

Nur back up to first light pole then IC SSH for 6

Bear crawl to next light pole then IC MNC for 6

All you got to the top then IC SSH for the 6

Return to COT with stops every quarter mile for stacked IC exercise

SSH then add LSS then add LBCs then add Merkins

MARY: IC IWs, IC Freddie’s, IC AHs

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Schweaty Barry 7PM July 22

COT: Yup

Bad things happen all the time – keep a positive attitude always and those around you will be better off

We need tribute

Leave a comment

WARMUP: quick mosey, SSH, and windmills
Mumblechatter was strong during the warmup, one might say distracting, so we cut that short to get to lifting
THE THANG:
in each of four corners exercises were laid out for rounds 1, 2, and 3
Corner 1: goblet squat, rack squat, lunge
Corner 2: curls, tricep extension, skull crusher
Corner 3: American hammer, window wiper, flutter press
Corner 4: chest press, merkin, half Turkish getup

In the middle is the plyometric box. 5lb dumbells, and a 60lb sandbag

Split up into two teams. Go to a corner. The team does the exercise for the round they are on while their tribute runs to the middle to do one of three exercises for 10 reps. All teams continue their reps until every tribute has returned to their teams.
Tributes may do box jumps (or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehWXqlCElEc on the box), or deadlifts. Count is 10.
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Mens Shelter, 4th convergence, Barry
COT: circle of TRUST. Trust was requested, not a prayer chain, no trust was bestowed so the Q assumes everyone is in top form at home. End with a prayer according to the Q’s faith.

WARMUP: disclaimer and go. No messing around.
THE THANG: Ran to the bank for stop 1. 5s and 10s.
– 5 = hand release merkin
– 10 = squats with chin up and hands touching the ground

Next stop was First National bank…5s and 10s. Thanks to Change Order for the idea for the next stop.

Next stop was the round about by model A. 5s and 10s with a 30 count in cadence of flutters.

Head down Hubert Graham to the bottom of the hill. 5s and 10s with 15 in cadence flutters partially sitting up.

Up HG to the light which wasn’t super close so was out of gas at the top. 5s and 10s with American hammer.

Now to head back the same way we came with 5s and 10s at each of the same stops.

Back at COT we did 5s with hand release diamonds and 10s of jump squats.
MARY: 3 rounds of Mary: LBCs, wipers, bicycles
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 7/22 Barry, 7/3 men’s dinner, 7/4 convergence

Mosey to COT

MARY: She wasn’t there. Open to all men.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: You bet.
COT: Remains the 5th core principle as disclaimed at 0615.

YHC was a bit off from the later start time but good to have some built in “disruption” on occasion to build our durability.

The message left with the PAX with was:
The best fruits of this life are an unstained character and acts for the common good. As leaders, what are we doing to cultivate the former and initiate the latter?

Thanks for the call <@U78QN5XU5> . :eye:
