Recycling my VQ

I found my old VQ backblast and brought a little back.

It wasn’t as hard as I remember. Solid work was done by all. We had a string of pearls to get to the spot

3 cones in a line

5 HR merkins
5 burpees in the middle
5 jump squats
4 burpees in the middle
5 HR merkins
3 burpees in the middle
5 jump squats
2 burpees in the middle
5 HR merkins
1 burpee in the middle
5 jump squats

I modified it down a bit from my VQ. Probably made it too easy. I’ll fix that next time

Figure it out

WARMUP: gathered up, ran to the top of the hill and into the parking lot. Quick round of SSH, 5 burpees, more SSH and 4 burpees. Low slow squat and some hillbilly walkers. Ran down the hill and to WEP playground.
THE THANG: Partner up for some Dora.
– 100 pull ups (realized there weren’t any pull up bars so you figured it out)
– 200 merkins
– 300 squats
– Timer was partner running around the playground

Ran to engineering parking lot in the front and found the wall. Did a wall sit where the pax held the sit while we went down line and did 5 press ups on the wall, 2x.

Wrapped by going to the big hill and did this 3x up and down.

MARY: we did this for about 2 min.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: of course

Turn the lights on and we had no lights

WARMUP: rucks on and move it
THE THANG: Took a stroll to heart attack hill and we didn’t bring lights. And it was very dark.

When we made it to the top of the hill, we took our rucks off for some in cadence shoulder presses. Once we completed the shoulder presses, every single light at the house we were outside of came on and that was our ticket to leave.

Rucked then back to the school for another set of shoulder presses. Then around the school for lap, then another set of shoulder presses.
MARY: couple sets of flutters
ANNOUNCEMENTS: of course
COT: definitely

1. 5 pull ups
2. 10 burpees
3. 15 hand release
4. 20 squat jumps
5. 25 flutters

We rinsed and repeated and added 2 to each exercise for round 2, and then added another 3 for round 3.

Ran over to the picnic tables for dips and 1 legged squats. We did this 3x.

Funhouse sendoff at the Pond

WARMUP: ran to Hardee’s, did SSH, planked, ran more. Ran down to city hall building.
THE THANG: 2 exercises at the city hall building, ran down to 4 way stop for 1 burpee (added 1 burpee each time we passed it, then up the hill to the parking lot for the same 2 exercises.

10 pushups (change pushups each time between diamonds, ranger, regular) and 10 double count flutters.

Last added part was to try and push your way up the hills just so you weren’t dialing it in.
MARY: got some hammers in, bicycles, more hammers
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CSPAN style positive vibes to Funhouse!
COT: like all of us when we’re in the flux, we go up and down just like the hills we ran today. Sometimes easier going down the hill, but that push and pull from another guy, and that guy to lean on and talk to when you need it, that’s the goal of leaving no man behind!

We ran….at the running AO

WARMUP: counted off. Goal was to go just “one more” which may mean pushing up the hill or going 1 second faster than your normal pace.
THE THANG: Ran all the way to the end of market. All the way.
MARY: nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter, golf charity, bourbon fundraiser
COT: hurricane victims, health

Four Corners of Fun (Pain)

I was calling this Four Corners of Fun, but @libertybiberty called it Four Corners of Pain, so I guess there’s a thin line between fun and pain…LOL!!!

I gave a lousy disclaimer then we began the warm-o-rama. Note to self: Don’t take a Orange Theory class the day before you Q as I don’t remember what we did or maybe it was the mumbling chatter that was distracting me. Something about holding a member or a member hanging too low and the water level being too high. Whatever it was, I had to stay focused and keep us on task so we moseyed over the band practice field.

The Thang
In every corner of the field we performed the following exercises. Plank up for the six after each round.

Round 1 – 7 Burpees
Round 2 – 14 Merkins
Round 3 – 21 LBCs
Round 4 – 28 Squats
Round 5 – 21 American Hammers (count 1 side)
Round 6 – 14 Carolina Dry Docs
Round 7 – 7 Burpees

Moseyed back to COT for a Merlin Ring of Fire and some Mary.

Announcements:
– Several CSUPS once the month or two.
– Christmas party
– There were others; see the Newsletter
Prayers:
For those in Western Carolina that have been affected by the storm and those in the way of the next storm rolling through Florida.
