Bonsai portion of the Q:
Nur to rock bed down by light post to grab a rock for the following.
20 INC overhead chest press
15 INC chest press on your six
15 INC lat raises
15 INC curls
Sir Top Hat portion:
Moved back up to half wall behind elementary for 8’s. It’s been a while since he has been to a workout so he forgot we could only count to 7.
Burpee and muscle ups on wall
STH had a few extra minutes left because all the men were such studs and cruised right through the workout without a problem.
Wall sits with 15 heel raises mixed in for two cycles.
Weezer’s portion:
Mini Dora
75 merkins
100 squats – most of us didn’t listen very well and did 125
125 LBCs.
Cyclops portion:
Back down to the light poles, Long Duck was expressing his displeasure about how we kept moving him around back and forth between locations.
Each light pole – 9 merkins, 12 squats. I think we got to 4 before time to head to COT. On the way back to COT, Cyclops thought we should do 5 more burpees, but Barkley, Rebound and YHC bat flipped and kept running. We wanted to make sure we made it in time.
MARY:

WARMUP: All PAX but Shield dropped in the plank with their ears wide open to listen to our brother Shield share his experience as an NYPD officer on 9/11/2001. This included the names of a few of Shield’s fallen brothers. Some of us have been fortunate enough to hear him talk about that day but every time I hear it, I take away something new. This morning was no different.
Following the plank, we mentioned a few numbers of significance for the PAX to think about:
9 & 11: This was obvious
22: Years since that day 22yrs ago
100: The number of days Ground Zero in NY smoldered
ALL PAX 100 Side Straddle Hops (50 in cadence) & 22 Burpees
THE THANG: Grab your bell and meet over by Clickbait’s trailer where we had more gear. Everyone has a weight of some kind for the following 9 exercises:
11x Kettle Bell Swings
11x Thrusters
11x Goblet Squats
11x Bent Over Rows
11x Overhead Tricep Extensions
11x Big Boy Sit-ups w/ Weight
11x Bicep Curls
11x Standing Lunges
11x Overhead Press
We went through these 9 exercises one more time and occasionally modified the cadence.
In groups of 4, we all got to experience the 200lb sand bags for 4 reps, taking the bag from the hips, to the shoulders, to an overhead position, back to the shoulders and finally, back to the hips. If we weren’t on the 200lb sand bag, we did the same evolution with our own coupon.
Then, back to 22 Side Straddle Hops & 11 Burpees.

It’s been a long week for YHC. Multiple Q’s flag handoffs, memorial workouts, running literally around Charlotte, and last but not least a brutal Iron Pax workout.
As I contemplated what I could do for my scheduled Q at the Golden Corral I was inspired by the very name of the site Q. Yes, it was time I brought some of my own “Jams” to the gloom.
As the Pax slowly but surely assembled around the Flag they were greeted by a Punk cover of Blank Space and a rock cover of Take Me home Country Roads. These were just the B-Side Singles before the full album dropped moments later.
After my disclaimer we moseyed over towards the Walgreens parking lot were we did a brief warmup before the music started.
SSH 20 (IC)
5 Windmills (IC)
The Plan was simple I’m going to play 12 songs. Within Each song there’s one set movement/exercise you will do until you hear a key phrase or word. At that point you execute reps of another exercise.
A note about the music played….most were metal/rock covers of popular songs. A couple were WWE theme songs and one was from the Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack.
The Playlist was as follows :
Running up that Hill ( a deal with god) – Loveless
Mountain Climbers until you hear the word “Running” then you run up the hill behind the Gate and return.
Voodoo Child – Brick + Mortar
Calf Raises until you hear the word Mountain or when you hear Voodoo then it’s 3 Jump Squats
That Energy – Zayde Wolf –
Big Boy Situps until you hear “That Energy” then it’s 4 Flutter Kicks
Eye of the Tiger – MetalHawk (most embraced this song but I was horrified to learn that Change Order has never seen Rocky)
Squats with Punches until you hear where “Tiger” should be in the song. Then you do a lap around the parking lot.
Why do we Fall – Hanz Zimmer ( Dark Knight Rises Sountrack – this is the scene where he climbs out of the well)
Burpees….AMRAMP
Kingdom – Downstait
American Hammers until you hear “Kingdom” then it’s 10 Toe Touches
Phenomenal – AJ Styles WWE Theme
1st Verse – Hold Plank and do a HR Merkin when you hear the word None
2nd Verse – Wall Sit and do a Jump Squat when you hear the word None
3rd Verse Start in Superman or Banana and flip every time you hear the word None
Real American – It Lives It Breaths (Metal Cover of the Hulk Hogan Theme)
Hello Dolly’s until you hear “American” then it’s 5 Rosalita’s
God’s Country – State of Mind & Drew Jacobs ( Rock Cover)
Shoulder Taps then do 10 LBC’s every time you hear “God’s Country”
Danger Zone – No Resolve (Rock Cover)
RUN but drop and do 5 Merkins everytime you hear “Danger Zone”
Everyday I’m Hustlin – Vladss
Lunge walk until you hear the word “Hustlin” then stop and do standing lunges
Fast Car – Luke Combs (Cover)
This was our cool down song. So we stretched and tried to sing along to it……we realized. We weren’t singers.
The mumblechatter during this workout was fantastic and the 45 minutes flew by. I wish I could remember everything that was said but it was a good time. I appreciate the opportunity to Q at my “sister” site within the greater Stockbridge Commons area.
While this is Slapshot Vol.1 ……be on the lookout for Slapshot Vol. 2 Coming to an AO near you……………..BROTHER!
SYITG!
