YHC used to be a BnW regular, back in the days of yore when it was held on the hallowed grounds of Reagan HS. Alas, a global pandemic and a cranky but well-meaning custiodial staff kicked the good men of F3WS off campus and after trying out a few places the AO landed at the pristine Greenbriar Farms clubhouse. My attendance became lax – not having to teach in person and having the boys at home meant driving to Pfafftown was more of an inconvenience, when it had previously been the most convenient for work. But I asked THE Singing Cowboy to put me on the Q calendar and he obliged, meaning I must make the trip eventually. Today was that day. I dusted off an old weinke from a Reagan workout and headed north.

WoR: SSH x15ic, IW x15ic, Whirly x15ic, Merkins x10ic, OH Clap x10ic, Michael Phelps x10ic

Mosey around the traffic island on Old Pfafftown Rd & back to launch. This was an important loop for us this morning. (appx .1 mi)

The Thang:

Partner up. Partner 1 will begin at the top of the weinke and do AMRAP of the written exercise while Partner 2 runs the loop from above. Flapjack. Then, when Partner 1 returns, move to the next exercise. Go down on the weinke in this manner until time is called.  (at Reagan, the loop was the large traffic circle out front, appx. the same distance as today’s)

The Weinke:

  • Goblet Squats
  • Curls
  • R leg lunge
  • L leg lunge
  • OH Press
  • LBCs
  • KB Swings
  • Bus Drivers
  • Heels to Heaven
  • Steph Currys
  • American Hammers
  • Dead Lift
  • Skull Crushers
  • Chest Press

All pax made it through the whole weinke this time around, with a few groups making it to the lunges for a second time. Strong work by all in attendance, it was great being back up in Pfafftown for this great workout! It was also nice meeting Triple Lindy – he and Interference set the pace today, flying through everything. Yall BnW regulars need to start EHing him to some other workouts! The loop became deceptively tough as time went on, there’s just enough incline on Old Pfafftown Rd. to make things difficult. The playlist this morning was a bunch of upbeat songs I did home workouts to during the pandemic. Zuck liked it.

Announcements:

GreeNest needs Qs on 3/6 and 3/20. Resistor has WIB tomorrow at Mt. Tabor, it’s sure to be a good one…he always brings the heat. Marble Arch Marathons are coming soon (3/18) and Starfish promises a new twist that will make finishing nigh impossible.

Prayer Requests:

Data’s coworker’s wife had a brain tumor removed and the prognosis is still not very positive. BAM knows a couple in town, the Murphs, of whom the wife has stage 4 gallbladder cancer and the prognosis is not very positive there, either. Hop has his back surgery on Friday.

YHC took us out. Thanks for the keys, TSC!

      I believe it, especially with the parking lot being down off the road a bit too.
