Block Party at Block Party

Leave a comment

The last day of October, Halloween and the last day of the month of  respectables at Block Party saw the delivery of blocks.  Concrete blocks.  30 lb blocks.

The Thang

A brief warm up:  Lunge Stretch, 25 SSH & Imperial Walkers

The crew then picked up their coupons as well as their complaints and proceeded around the the park stopping at each drill bit for:

  1. 20 curls and 20 LBCs
  2. 20 Prone Presses and 20 LBCs
  3. 20 Upright Rows and 20 LBCs
  4. 20 Squats and 20 LBCs
  5. 20 Lawnmower pulls each arm and 20 LBCs
  6. 20 Overhead Presses and 20 LBCs

Since this was clearly not enough fun, the crew moved to the hill next to COT.   With coupon half way up the hill for 20 curls and all the way up for 20 prone presses. Rinse and repeat about 3 times.

This is the moleskin, and it is important.  God is clearly in control.  At the same time we MUST do our part.  We cannot sit idly by, pray and hope for the best.  We must recognize God’s speaking and His words to us – and then we must act in accordance with His will.

I was honored to lead at this AO.  Thank you to all the PAX who were there.

#HypeTrain Coming in HOT!

Leave a comment

13 HIMs bought a ticket for a runaway train at #LacesIn on a beautiful Thursday morning at Fort Mill High.  What train you ask?!?  Well none other than the #HypeTrain itself.  After getting tasked with the Q for #LacesIn over 6 weeks ago YHC went on a all out #Hype Campaign to get as many Pax to #LacesIn as possible.  Did it work?  Meh.  But it was a fun ride.  Worked out for the best – less people to be disappointed by the over#hyped and under delivered beat down from YHC.  Oh yeah – before I forget – 5 other HIMs decided to go yogging (soft “J”) which is apparently running for an extended period of time.  #LacesOut

The Thang:

Static Warmup (apparently the Pax had a real problem with this one – apparently if you do not do SSH, IW, WM, Merks, Low Slow Squats (IN THAT ORDER) you will never hear the end of it)

1 min Squat Sit  (some *ahem* CSPAN *ahem* were not able to accomplish this task)

Deep Squat x 10  (no like….ALL the way down)

Warm-up Merkin (like it came from an alien planet)

On-all-fours Shoulder Stretch (yes – YHC did not pick the best patch of asphalt)

On-all-fours Bad Dog Hip Stretch (see above)

On-your-back Hip Thrusters

 

Whew!  So sorry to try something new.  It will not happened again.  Warmup over.  Pax happy.

Partner Up (size does not matter)

Partner 1 to run to end of parking lot and back (no YHC did not realize how long that really was)

Partner 2 to do perfect form merkins (no count total – just AMRAP with perfect form)

Flap Jack

Next round Deep Squats (no like….ALL the way down)

Final round LBCs with your feet on the ground (just humor the Q please)

Run it back again except partner run shortened to 3/4 but 3 froggers added at each light pole

Run it back a final time – partner run shortened to 1/2 but 5 froggers added at each light pole

CAN I GET A TEN COUNT!?!?!

Moving on to Rugby Sprints x 5 with LBCs with feet on the ground, Flutters, Mountain Climbers, Flutters, and LBCs with your feet on the ground

Next we move to the dreaded Partner Push/Sprint/Push (size kinda matters this time)

Flap Jack then Rinse and Repeat

Little baby jog back to a much better patch of asphalt for 6MOM with “the new one” added in there but apparently not appreciated.

COT

Great work men!  Welcome FNG – Deflategate!  Thank you all for posting to the #HypeTrain.  Very much appreciated.  YHC has been away from F3 for a month for vacations and business travel and got a taste of what life without F3 was like…..not good.  Old habits began to emerge around intake of food and drink so it was great to get back out and see each and every one of you waiting there for me to try and make myself a better man.  Asked the Pax what they saw in the mirror – did they see successes and strengths or failures and weaknesses?  What impact could you make with those around you if you saw the former (as the Sky Q sees you)?  Taking it a step further – what do you see when you look at those around you?  Do you see their strengths or their weaknesses?  Do you see their past sins against you or do you see what they have done for you?  Have you really forgiven them or do you see how they wronged or disappointed you in the past?  It’s hard to do but think about how your relationship would change for the better if you could really give grace to those around you as the Sky Q has given to you.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead gentlemen!  Always an honor.  Be a better man today then you were yesterday.  Aye!

Welcome FNG Airwolf and welcome all PAX to the new AO at Pleasant Knoll Elementary. The Ballroom has a new AO and possibly a new name. That is still to be determined. In meantime, 20 PAX and YHC took a tour of the grounds and got disciplined.

Introduced the PAX and away we went.

Mosey around back of school in the pitch black. Lights in the front, party in the back…..I mean dark in the back. Still able to mosey.

  • Lunge walk
  • Shuffle L/R
  • Karoke L/R
  • Mosey to playground

COP:

Weezer came in and led first few excercises

  • Low slow squats
  • ???? can remember 2nd move
  • Moracan nIght Clubs

YHC back at Q

  • SSHs
  • Imperial Walkers
  • Peter Parkers
  • LBCs
  • Mtn Climbers

Count off in 4’s

Rotate stations after group doing swing crunches are done….2 rounds

1″s – Swing Crunches to 15

2’s – Carolina Dry Docks

3’s – LBCs

4’s – Squats

 

Mosey to Wall

Peoples Chair, while PAX bear crawl to end of line

Rinse and Repeat

Mosey to Front of school

  • Round of Dips

Back in groups – 1 group at time runs hill, to steps and back to PAX wile other groups alternate excercises

  • Dips x3
  • Derkinsx3
  • lungesx3
  • sumo squat x3

PAX mosey down main drive. YHC after asking many of the PAX to define discipline, explained that we work hard to train and gain knowledge so that when things get hard, we have the discipline to push through and accomplish what we could not if we were not disciplined. Like facing a long uphill run back to COT. Its not how fast or what others are doing, but what are we willing to push through and get better at??

  • PAX ran back to shovel flag with strong finish
  • Freddy Mercurys
  • Supermans
  • Rosalitas
  • Hello Dollys

COT: Great PAX and Great AO. I’m looking forward to the growth potential at the New AO and the many new Q that went through Q school to get some fresh blood in the mix.

Get disciplined men so that when the storms come in life, you are strong and ready to face them.

Cake Boss out!

Laces In and Laces Out: Back together Again!!

Leave a comment

Long time ago…..in a different AO……Laces Out and Laces In were together. Today we could say that again. Its like meatballs and spaghetti or hot dogs and hamburgers…..its just natural!!

So the Laces out clan arrive at 0500 and take off running to Baxter like the fools they are. Hills and cars and danger Will Robinson!! But they all made it back safely and met us Laces IN  crowd at COT. No water melon ….losers!! haha

Laces In we did a little tour of the High School, with some 4 corners and some other pain stops along the way. There is a ton of potential and no Rosalita calling the 5.0 anymore. If we bother anyone out here, they better join the PAX as they have no other reason to be out there at 0 dark 30.

Great PAX and awesome times. Be sure to post to Laces In/Out and bring an FNG!

Cake Boss Out!
