The AO is conveniently sheltered beneath the I-310 concrete umbrella; so although the forecast warned of severe weather, three men confidently posted and were reminded why meteorologists have the best job. So, without a drop of rain, we circled up to begin treatment.
Warm-Up:
- SSH x20
- Copperhead Squats x15
- Arm Circles
- Forward x15
- Backward x15
- Merkin x10 (4-count)
- Imperial Walkers x20
The Thang:
Mosey to the basketball courts for some group activity. One PAX ran about 200 feet to the pull-up bar and back while the remaining PAX worked on completing 50 pull-ups, 100 Squats, and 100 Merkins, alternating runners and exercises until completion. Still lacking rain but staying under the concrete canopy anyway, PAX got on their six for some core work.
- Bay City Scissors x10
- Leg Raises x15
- LBCs x20
- 20 seconds of Rocky Balboa’s
- Crunchy Frogs x10
- Dying Cockroaches x15 (4-count)
- Flutter Kicks x20 (4-count)
- 30 seconds of Rocky Balboa’s
Now we’re awake, but it’s time to get woke. So the PAX were given two options and chose the next exercise to finish off the morning.
Captain Thor: Ratio workout consisting of 1 Big Boy Sit-Up to 4 American Hammers (Russian Twists). Reaching 10:40 as the time limit elapsed.
Moleskin:
I think my favorite part of being Q is finding something else Kim Chi says he “hates” and then including that in my next workout. He liked Dying Cockroaches today (who likes living ones?), so I’m scraping that from all future workouts. I have yet to Q a workout that leaves Torque on the mat, so I may have to start doing two-a-days to catch up. Or outsource my Qs. Either way, there’s something about taking the red pill and getting out in the gloom that provides a unique accomplishment and motive for the day. It’s a limited time offer we have every day, and I remain thankful for the men who assemble to partake.
