5 Pax, THE OUTHOUSE 1.20.2020
“It says its going to ‘Feel like 16’ outside” is now one of my favorite Site Q checking in on his Q for the day texts of all time. It definitely helped me prepare for the downpainment the pax would be performing. Thanks Greenspan!
At exactly 0530, YHC recited the Mission of F3, the 5 core principles, and a disclaimer. Some would argue the recital was perfect and that is all they would argue. With the crisp cool morning, YHC could tell the pax were getting anxious for what was in store so YHC fired off into something that looks like this:
Warm-a-rama –
SSH x 20ic
Hillbillies x 20ic
SSH x 20ic
Abe Vigodas – 1,2,3 ic Count Per Leg x 6
Poor Whirly and his problem x 20ic
5 Delicious Burpees OYO
Feeling a slight all-over warming sensation YHC took the pax on a little mosey down Sally Kirk to the short wall at the unloading zone in front of Jefferson Middle. From here the pax really enjoyed the following conveniently displayed on a cardboard weinke:
THE THANG pt 1-
While 1 pax runs the entire drop off loop (Approx 400 meters, .25miles) the other pax performed the following til failure, and then SSH until the return of the running pax, Next pax takes off on the loop:
Erkins
Dips
High Plank
Low Plank aka Chillcut Plank
Banana
With 5 Pax posting and 5 Drop off loops completed the remaining exercises were executed as a group:
Derkins x 20
Pickle Pounders x 20ic
5 Delicious Burpees OYO
Upon completion of the work at the wall, almost all the pax’s body parts had been thawed out, except for the largest muscle grouping in the body, and YHC absolutely would not stand for any pax feeling like they didn’t get their moneys worth. Leaving the cardboard behind at Jefferson, foreshadowing??
THE THANG pt 2 –
In a mosey, the pax followed YHC down Sally Kirk performing Merkins and Monkey Humpers ic until they reached the apex of Greenspan’s “NEW HILL” at the bottom of Sally Kirk. This appeared to YHC as the PRIME location to perform THE QUAD HAMMER:
All Pax mosey to the very end and bottom of Sally Kirk, Perform 20 Squats
Run Backwards up to the top of the “NEW HILL” and perform 20 Monkey Humpers
Repeato x 4
This effort seemed to really stoke the furnace that is the body of the 5 Pax at Monday’s Premier Beatdown. Quads started to shake, legs got weak as they started to get stronger, pax were skipping backwards, it was pure madness.
All the frost that had collected on the pax before the start of the workout had now completely disappeared, HIM emerging from the mist.
THE THANG pt 3 –
Not wanting to commit an egregious crime, YHC knew the pax would need to pick up their litter. So we mosey’d back to the short wall at the drop off loop, where we performed:
Erkins x 20ic
Dips x 20ic
High Plank, Each Pax counting by 1 until the magic number was reached. The magic number happened to be 60.
Low Plank, again counting to the magic number.
After cleaning up the mess we made, and knowing closing time was fast approaching, the pax started their mosey back to the launch. On the way back the pax were delighted with:
Banana x 20ic
Pickle Pounders x 20ic, I think…likely not
After a VanGogh and Greenspan Backwards Mosey up Sally Kirk to the launch the pax found some Squats x 20ic.
The pax finally arrived back at the launch point with just enough time for:
MARY –
Monkey Humpers x 10ic (Van Gogh made sure to share his disappointment the cadence didn’t make it to 20, the pax performed 10 more)
Monkey Humpers x 10ic
Heels to Heaven x 15ic
American Hammer x 15ic
FIN
COT –
Prayers for Marriages Struggling, both public and private. If you are going through it, REACH OUT TO A BROTHER. Van Gogh has personally volunteered to step up and lend an ear as he has gone through some rough times with his M.
Prayers for Foghorn, has to have a difficult conversation with his Boss this week.
Van Gogh hit some deer this morning on the way to the workout, #TClaps for still be on time, Seriously glad you weren’t hurt brother. Truck was banged up, still had some fur and blood on it…YHC can’t confirm it was a deer’s though…Savage?
NMM –
It feels like Q’ing an F3 workout really re-lights the fire inside you, YHC hopes other Dash Pax feel this same way, reach out to your brothers and lead with them if they haven’t stepped up yet. Our Calendar still sort of looks like swiss cheese. Lets fill those gaps.
- I think the only way to warm up Van Gogh’s quads is to perform the appropriate amount of monkey humpers, but even this morning’s total likely wasn’t enough
- Greenspan loves Static Exercises, he expressed his desire to do more of them and humbly requests all the Q’s incorporate more of them into their workouts.
- Tarheel is actually the first person YHC has ever seen skip backwards, and UP a hill…and at the same speed as YHC’s reverse mosey. UN.REAL.
- Foghorn purposely didn’t lift heavy anticipating YHC blasting the pax with some upper body specific gems…only for YHC to bring the leg warmers.
- Declarations of “This was your worst Q yet” seemed to echo in the gloom on the hills of Sally Kirk. But not at the end of Sally Kirk at the bottom of the hill, as the Pax were being responsible in keeping their midwife noises to a minimum out of respect for the neighborhood and it being early and all.
It is always a pleasure to lead and come up with something challenging enough for the strength of our Dash Pax. Strong work this morning, gents! Looking forward to posting more with you guys this week. See you out there!
