17 PAX posted at #TheHogg. After a gut-wrenching Duggar v. Leprechaun Rock-Paper-Scissors duel and brief but inconclusive discussion of who won or lost the Q, YHC took the Q.

Conditions

Glorious! Truly Glorious!! Remember this day, gentlemen: 67 degrees, low humidity, cool breeze. Summer is Coming, long before Game of Thrones.

Warm Up

Mosey through St Theresa’s lot into the Garden of Tranquility (GOT). Along the way: side shuffle (L/R) and back peddle.

Circle of Pain

20x IC of SSH, Imperial Walker, LBAC (F/R),  and Freddy Mercury. Then, 10x IC of Merkins.

Count off 1-2 and mosey Double Applesauce out of the GOT.

The Thang

Bleacher Pull-Ups

Partners combine for 60 pull ups. Modify as needed. Partner 1 pull ups, Partner 2 runs around the bleachers. RnR until 60 pull ups completed. Plank for the Six.

Mosey over to the kickball parking lot. Our friend in the early ‘90s white long-bed pick up was kind enough to play Willie Nelson at high volume for:

Hindenburg BLIMPS

Perform designated BLIMP exercise, run length of parking lot, perform exercise, run back, etc., etc.

• Burpees x10
• Lunges x20 (each leg)
• Imperial Walker x 30
• Merkins x40
• Plank Jacks x50
• Squats x60

Mosey back to the Bleachers.

Bleacher Pull-Ups

RnR partner work for 60 pull ups.

Mosey via GOT and the MSM to St. Theresa’s back lot. YHC was wearing new shoes so we took the high and dry route. The #MumbleChatter almost convinced me to savage my new kicks. Next time, yatches.

Hip-Slappers

Partner 1 AMRAP hip slappers while Partner 2 sprints (emphasis on sprint) around the parking lot.

Flapjack. Then, since most PAX were still breathing RnR.

Mosey back to Shovel Flags. There’s time left so a little modified:

Mary

• LBCs x50 OYO
• John Travolta (L/R) x10 IC
• Bird Dog x20 IC
• Half Bridge – hold until the Q is tired.

BOM:

Thanks to Camo for taking us out.

The four legs of the Q planning kit are: 1) focus on a body part (e.g., legs or chest); 2) run a lot; 3) hit every body part; 4) coupon work. There are probably more but that’s how I think about it. Today, YHC decided to see what was behind door #3. BLIMPS are great for that, then build around it with pull ups for the back, hip slappers for the shoulders, and then modify Mary for some oblique, hip, and lower back work. BLIMPS and the Back Lot let us get some decent running / sprinting in, too.

Strong work from the PAX today. Buble and Duggar were out in front on the Hindenburg BLIMPS today (YHC harbors a certain disdain for fit PAX with long legs, but I digress), and Pace Car was pushing through on his sore getaway sticks (get that knee fixed up, bro). Dr. Seuss is rounding back into form – he crushed the pull ups today, as is Camo who put his speed on display in St Theresa’s back lot. Mass x Acceleration = Camo.

With no FNGs today, YHC thought there might be a little more effort EH’ing the MSM in the GOT. #justsayin’
