No rain, no pain

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Some of the usual windmill, IWs, etc
THE THANG:
The rain was light but steady throughout and it didn’t scare off any of the pax. 36 degrees and wet — I’m grateful anyone showed up but I was especially grateful to see my co-Q Trucker. We used the morning as a faceoff between Trucker repping Penn St and DD repping Notre Dame in advance of the CFP game the following Thur.

Trucker led off with a history lesson of the rivalry that started in 1913. His upper body sequence included the list below with 19 reps on the first round and 13 reps in the second round.

Chest press
Skull crushers
Lat swings
Shoulder press
Front shoulder raises
Upright rows
Bent over rows
Curls
LBC
Mosey to funeral home and back

DD took over halfway through for a lower body sequence that included 4 quarters (4 rounds) of the following:

Cleans R/L
Goblet squat
Racked lunge R/L
Goblet calf raise
Swings
Core exercise
Mosey to front of church and back

It was a great .morning (once it was over) and a great warm up for the Irish victory 4 days later!

MARY: nah
ANNOUNCEMENTS: wine event, D2D, etc
COT: yes!

Training Ground Carry

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Nope
THE THANG: 6 PAX shared (3) 60lb sand bags while the 7th man nursed an injury while wearing a weight vest, of course.
Make our way over to the WEP parking lot and down the trail weaving our way to the bottom of Harris Street. Here’s where we tried something new. Each PAX would have the “opportunity” to single-handed farmers carry the 60lb sand bag up to the top of the hill.
From there, make our way over to the bottom of Massey for…you guessed it, walking backward up Masses. Every PAX went 2x.
MARY: Not officially but tighten your core during the carries.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Give blood.
COT: 5th Core Principle.

Pillars of Pain

Leave a comment

Lots of rain this week, but it didn’t prevent the three men from tackling a sandbag workout. We set our bags down for warm-ups (SSHs, IWs, WMs). Big lap around the field and back to the front of the school.
Sandbag exercises in cadence: overhead press, curl, merkins, calf raise. Lunge walk to last pillar. Squats, LBCs, bend over row.
Big lap again with bag.
With 10 minutes remaining, we attempted the pillars of pain: 1 man maker at each pillar adding 1 at the next pillar. We fell short of the goal, but provided some good ideas for <@UN3JKG18C> Q next week.

Blasting backs for peggers

Leave a comment

WARMUP: A brisk jog that left the Q too winded for the rest of the stretches and exercises to be called correctly. The pax held strong and performed them correctly anyways.
THE THANG: Four corners of pain consisting of rows, presses, flutters, bag tosses, man makers, American hammers, front squats, deadlifts, curls and something called Bradley Presses (Q sited some website called onlyfans for where he found the exercise).

We bear hugged and lunge walked our bags to and fro.

Some slight delays during the work due to lack of visibility and eye sight (mostly eye sight) to read the repertoire of exercises on a homemade index card.

MARY: she wasn’t there, it was too cold.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: none
COT: praise your higher power whoever/whatever that may be it just ain’t you.

Bearded Wonder Takes On The Pond

Leave a comment

NASA asked me to Q Minnow Pond about a month ago and I accepted forgetting that I had Lake Haigler 12 hour 2 days afterwards. The plan was to take the Minnows to the trails and get some miles there but that will have to wait for another time to do that. It had rained the night before and there were a lot of leaves on the trails. Didn’t want someone to do a Superman like Dark Helmet did last time I Q’d here.

Took the fellas to Harris Street Park and as Strava describes it Harris Street Hell Hills. It’s almost a mile to the park from Veterans Park so keep that in mind for future Q’s.

We did hill repeats each way with 10 hand release merkins at the middle, 10 monkey Humpers at top of one side Harris Street and 10 Sumo Squats at Harris/21 Hill. Most got close to 4 miles total.

Had a group of guys carrying around fancy book bags filled with styrofoam peanuts and a few had actual weights in them. Maximus,Rebound,Dark Helmet,Farmers Only,Spider-Man, Crystal Lake, Wooden Leg and Anchorman all rucked I’ll let you decide who had peanuts and who had weight.
