Family friendly rocking to the sunset at TRQ

Family friendly rocking to the sunset at TRQ

QIC: BAM

Date: 07/28/2022

PAX: Superfly, Green Acres (WD), Boomerang, Giles (WB), Mutton, Wobegon, Ziggy Stardust, BAM

Always honored to Q the premier non-running Thursday beatdown with rock in the name that doesn’t require using rocks.  YHC wanted to come up with something sufficient and festive for such an esteemed/older crowd.  I said, “THE CROWD IS OLDER, BOOMERANG.”

First step is to come up with a sufficient soundtrack to help get the pax moving or complaining.  YHC has become a fan of Starfish’s style of building a songlist based on a year.  In preparation, for some reason, a Y2K/what happened at the turn of the century curiosity came to mind.  So, 2000 was the inspiration of the songs chosen.

The crew arrived in the thick air, most on time, all ready to work.

Warmorama

The usual, fill five minutes or so, not too hard, no Cherry Pie was present so overhead claps were called at one point

The Thang

• Lunge walk, walk, Apollo Creed over to playground by tennis courts
• Cindy! (although YHC has never attended a Crossfit workout, not afraid to steal useful workouts, just leave out the screaming at people)
  • 20 minutes AMRAP
  • 5 pull ups
  • 10 merkins
  • 15 squats
• Tabata (Dr. Tabata knew what he was doing)
  • 20 secs “on”, 10 secs “rest” x 8 rounds = 1 cycle
  • Cycle 1: Mt. Climbers
  • Cycle 2: SSH
• Walk, Lunge Walk, Apollo Creed back to start

NMM

• When you choose songs based on the year, and don’t always listen to them ahead of time, colorful language might be heard, #noradioedit
• Ziggy asked at one point if the music was “family friendly?”  YHC responds “Depends on the family.”  #allmeansall
• The Q might have struggled announcing how much time was left in Cindy exercise, giving false hope there were only 3 minutes left, when in fact there were 13 minutes left #Cobains
• Wobegon dropped knowledge during Rage Against the Machine song, as much colorful language came forth – Can’t rage without some rage.
• Be on the lookout for Giles and his fam to pull up to workouts in an RV soon #AmericanDream
• Superfly loved the sunset, the Q assured him the workouts wasn’t that long
• Boomerang complained about stuff, I SAID, BOOMERANG COMPLAINED ABOUT STUFF.
• In an effort to meet Green Acres approval by incorporating pull ups in the workout, evidently the lack of a formal “Mary” section did not sit well.  (Some of us use core muscles during Mt. Climbers and pull ups, but evidently not sufficient) So, GA proceeded to do his own Mary during name-o-rama, and was rumored to do more pull ups on his way home.  Cranky old people, am I right?
