Bushpit Dual Q (or Q Duel?)

Leave a comment

Rock, Scissors, Paper for who took the warmup: Birdcage won

WARMUP:
– Indian run

THE THANG:
OldBay Part 1:
Run to first of 4 cones set up to cover a large area for “Catch me if you can”. Pax partner up, size doesn’t matter. Partner 1 does stationary exercise while partner 2 does moving exercise (working their way around all 4 cones). Once P1 finishes stationary exercise, they run to catch P2 then flapjack. Continue until they’ve made it around all 4 cones.

Exercises:
10 merkins and butt kickers
3 burpees and high knees
10 mountain climbers and karaoke

Birdcage Part 1
All pax grab some curb for merkin and shimmy: one merkin, then use arms and legs to sideways step to the right. Repeat until complaints were high enough.

Shake it out and then flip to other side of curb for dip and shimmy.

Pax then had to get in 5 lines for sprints back and forth in front of the stadium entrance.

OldBay Part 2
Pax line up on curb facing open side of parking lot for broad jumps and merkins. Pax instructed to take 2 broad jumps and then do 2 merkins. Repeat until the other side of the parking lot was reached, keeping count of how many broad jumps it took them.
14 jumps was the fewest, so all pax had to do 14 burpees.

Pax then lined up arms-distance apart, then dropped to a plan for railroad tracks. The pax at the end of the plank line had to make their way to the from the line by jumping over each planked pax. They then planked at the front of the line. Done after 2 complete cycles. We had a few minutes left, so we did 5 6-count burpees to satisfy the brass at the workout.

Birdcage part 2
Worked our way back to the front of the stadium where we did suicides, stopping at every tree for 5 bombjacks…until we run out of time (or tree, in the case of a few pax)

MARY:
Just a few moments for a few exercises. Bandcamp managed to get 2 6-count burpees in, because only dozens before wasn’t enough.

Great work by all. Thanks for the opportunity to co-lead, Birdcage.

Casey Kasem Dominates The Workout (finally)

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
– Windmills
– Cherry Pickers
– Imperial Walkers
– Hillbilly Walkers
– Calf Raises
– Mosey to amphitheater sidewalk for The Thang

THE THANG:
– Travel to playground (ironically stolen from <@U06Q8DSSV5Y>)
– Begin with 5 squats then mosey to 2nd tree on the left-hand side of sidewalk –> 5 squats
– Mosey back to 1st tree –> 3 merkins
– Mosey to 3rd tree –> 5 squats
– Mosey back to 2nd tree –> 3 merkins
– You get the idea. The intent is to execute in drill-like fashion and demonstrate organized chaos to every man that’s at WEP and compel them to join F3.

UPDATE: this strategy was not successful

– Playground yoga stretch
– Down Dog
– Walk it out
– Up Dog
– Down Dog

– Bring right foot to right hand and reach arms to the sky – chest forward – Warrior I
– Turn torso to the left (head forward) and extend arms outward – Warrior II
– Front (right) arm reaches up and back while back arm rests on back leg – Peaceful Warrior
– Hands to the ground – Runners Lunge
– Right arm to the sky – Side Angle Stretch
– Hands to the ground – Runners Lunge
– Right foot to the back – Down Dog

– Repeat moves by bringing left foot to left hand…

It should be noted that at this point the workout became, shall we say, more spontaneous.

– Continued traveling via squats and merkins, then switched to HIIT at a couple of bench swings:
– 10 merkins
– 20 shoulder taps
– 20 squats

– It became apparent an audible was in order so at the next swing we did 15 Moroccan Nightclubs and 25 shoulder presses.

– Repeat Nightclubs and presses at next swing, then lunge-walked to the last swing before the fence halted our tour around WEP.

– Mosey to small pavilion and did some Curb Alperts, dips, and more Nightclubs and presses.

– Mosey to flag for Mary

MARY: Freddie Mercuries, Hello Dollies, Rosalitas, Big Boys/LBC

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Golf tournament, HIM Camp, and BBQ, Beans, Banana Pudding, Bourbon, & <@U5MQ8FHV0>
COT: closing prayer
