Block Party at Parliament

Block Party at Parliament

QIC: Goofy

Date: 07/02/2019

PAX: Fender, Schneider, TheSingingCowboy, Gucci, Data, BeastLite, Sgt Schultz, Goofy (Q)

8 Pax posted, of which 3 had requested tunes for the playlist this morning. No one complained (about the music), so I assumed all were satisfied. The beatdown was designed to work on strength so the focus was on fatiguing specific muscle groups.

The Thang

Warm-o-rama: The usual for @Goofy

Mosey to blocks and everyone get one

Block work

Do the following exercises – in succession, each exercise was done first 25 reps in cadence, then 15 reps in cadence, the 10 reps OYO very slowly, then we moved to the next exercise.

 Thunderstruck

While Thunderstruck from AC/DC is playing, hold a plank. Every time they say Thunder, do a merkin. (we made it about half way through until the Q called Mercy)

Return Blocks and mosey back to parking lot for Mary

Mary: Round Robin as chosen by the Pax

COT: YHC took us out, thankful for the men around the circle and for those patriots who have sacrificed so much for us to enjoy the freedoms that we have.

Announcements/Prayer Concerns

• F3/FiA convergence on Thursday, watch Twitter
• Prayers for all those traveling
• YHC has the Q at Bells and Whistles in the AM, and will have a patriotic playlist!

NMM

• Beastlite made a special appearance and was in rare form, both physically (what did you eat last night!) and in terms of MC. He kept waiting for me to join and MC myself, which I have been known to do but the music was so loud it drowned him out!
• The idea of fatiguing muscle groups worked on the Q, and from the groans of the Pax, a few of them were impacted also
• Choosing Thundestruck was either a great choice or a horrible one to really push ourselves that last few minutes. At some point it turned to horrible, and the Q called Mercy
• Beastlite and Schultz had social hour during much of the workout. The Q would have separated them, but they were having such a good time.
• Always an honor to lead this group of men and be among you.
