Buckets… again.

Nice group this morn found three sets of buckets with painful suggestions inside and some nice running in between stations. The Shorty’s watch said 1.7 miles and I guess that includes the time I caught him (not mall) walking.

We can feel the cooler air coming and see the leaves staring to fall as we admire God’s creation. Prayers for my friend Amy, our kids and school folks, and thankful for those around us who are patient mentors.

Slapshot Vol.1

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!

COT & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Notably we held CSPAN style discussion around the circle on what are we struggling with. It’s important to note that as we went around with each Pax’s voicing their struggles we all related to every one of those aspects. Guys we are not alone and it’s much easier to go this journey through life is undoubtedly more manageable when we stand together rather than facing it in isolation.” I implore you to be more vulnerable in COT. Prayers and Praises.

Whipped out a swampy sweaty wienke with a shable

WARMUP: It was warm and schweaty.

Run around the perimeter of the parking lot with butt kickers, high knees, side shuffles and then circled up. SSH, windmill, cherry picker, low slow squats, merkins, honey nooner, down dog. Back to COT to grab the 40 bag.

THE THANG: Took the bag and pax over to bubbles and bows because they need a trim. This wienke was originally used at the Swamp in June 2019…oldie but goodie.

In a circle we numbered off to determine our order as 2 would follow 1, 3 follow 2 and so forth. Pax 1 would run to the other end of the parking lot to do shoulder presses, min 10 and max 25, and then handoff to 2. While pax 1 was on the bag, the remaining pax were doing exercises and pax 1 would pick up at the beginning or where they left off.

Exercises were: 25 bomb jacks, 50 jump squats, 75 calf raises, 100 SSH, 100 flutter right leg only, 75 CDD, 50 merkins, 25 burpees.

After the shoulder press and all pax completed this, next was 10/25 of curls. Then was 5 squats, then was 3 merkins with bag in your back. So continued to rotate the back as pax completed the 25-100-25.

Ran back to COT for a shable (a story in the tale of a fable authored by shady, shable). False ending so did a full lap around the parking lot, then back to COT.
MARY: went around the circle with stretching exercises called out…it was great.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: heard about how awesome HIM camp was, 9/11 on 9/9 event, newsletter
COT: old school CSPAN prayers and praises

Apparently we ran, apparently there were 22.

The route was spectacular, all downhill, except for the uphill.

Looks like we made it,
