Wheel of Misfortune and too many reps

Leave a comment

Since I was going to be DR for my birthday, I decided to do my birthday Q a day early. I wanted a good one and didn’t realize how good it was.
WARMUP: SSH, windmills
THE THANG: We picked up Cindy and took her down to the elementary school playground. Around the loop, about 15-20 yards apart were 6 stations.
They included:
10 OH Press
25 Decline Merkins
25 Curls
25 Squats with the block on your back
25 Big Boys with the block
25 Chest Press
25 Bent over rows
Run around the playground.

My intention was to do 420 reps, but we all know what happens when we try to count when we are working out, so we ended up with 3 rounds of 480 reps.

MARY: Everyone called something for the last 5 minutes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter. Lots of opportunities to give back.
COT: Prayers for a good 43rd trip around the sun.

Rain or Shine, the East Side Shows Up

Leave a comment

On this dark and gloomy day, I did a buddy a solid and took the Q while he had a last-minute conflict. I knew it was going to be raining, but I also knew that there were plenty of places to still get in a workout and stay dry at the same time at <#C02QBPU3S5N>.

Now, I admit, I haven’t been here in a while, but I was surprised when I showed up that NO ONE FROM THE WEST SIDE WAS THERE. I mean, it’s right around the corner from where a lot of you live. It’s a great AO with a lot to offer, and yet no one but 2 Eastsiders made it out?? You guys are missing out if you are not coming to <#C02QBPU3S5N>.

My only compadre was <@UN6PTD007> who is my SL ride or die. (Thanks bud!). Now, we did discuss bailing and going to Biscuit Belly, but decided that we needed to get some work done. So, off to the shelter we went.

WARMUP: Windmills, Moroccan Nightclubs, SSH

THE THANG: We put a board at the end of each concourse at the school. Each board had 6 exercises on it. The count for each was 10 reps. After completing that, run to the end of the next concourse and do that board at 10 reps. After we completed a round, the rep count increased by 5. It was a full body workout of abs, arms, legs, and a little running. This is one of those that is sneaky but will catch up with you later.

MARY: N/A as we did so many abs during the workout.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: So many things are going on. Pick something to help out with or support.

COT: Prayers for busy times and finding peace in them. Prayers for travels over the next few weeks.

Normally, I’m the type of PAX that likes to create routines where you complete a lot of reps of a few different exercises when I Q a workout. Decided to switch it up a bit, and as my man JWOW like to say, we did a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but a whole lot of work was put in!
