Good things happen when you show up for a Q
QIC: Frostbite
Date: 03/09/2026
PAX: @Burns, @Green Acres (WD), @Frostbite (QIC, WB, YHC)
Last time YHC had the Q at #TheLaunchpad, YHC no showed. YHC had set the alarm, but did not remember it going off and thus left the #NorthernHIMs out to dry.
@Burns the ever-faithful SiteQ made sure YHC had a time to redeem himself. Today was the day. YHC made sure @Burns had nothing to worry about texting him at 0500 that I was awake and ready to rock and roll.
Here is what we did:
Warmarama:
SSH / IST / Copperhead Squats / Abes / Whirlies / Arm Swirly Things
Mosey on over to the benches
Dips x 10 OYO
Irkins x 10 OYO
Dips x 10 OYO
Derkins x 10 OYO
Dips x 10 OYO
Merkins x 10 OYO
Now we were fully warmed and ready for the Thang.
The Thang: Charles Bronson
There is a start line. About 20 yards away there are cones. 10 yards from there another set of cones.
YHC instructed the #PAX that at the start line you would do 20 SSH + 30 reps of the called exercise. Then you would mosey to the middle cones. Upon arrival, you would drop down and bear crawl to the end cones and do 10 merkins + 10 Ball Slams. Mosey back to start. Move on to the next exercise on the weinke. Simple!
Exercises at start line were:
Merkins
Wojo Squats
LBCs
Burpees
Carolina Dry Docks
Monkey Humpers
High Dolleys
Burpees
Crucible Merkins
Bonnie Blairs (DC)
Penguin Crunches (DC)
Burpees
Remember: 20 SSH + 30 reps of the exercise
This took all of the time! Most #PAX conveniently timed it up to finish right after the Penguin Crunches to avoid the last round of Burpees. #Smart
NMM:
@Burns’ Godfather is Alan Jackson. I think I got that right.
@Burns almost went to Belmont to live out his dream of playing country music. I think I got that one right, too.
@Green Acres is a big fan of Joe Diffie courtesy of @Turnover’s affinity.
No one was a fan of the 30 burpees. No one was a fan of the 30 burpees again. Everyone avoided the last 30 burpees.
YHC learned that @Green Acres prefers crucible merkins to regular. The more you know.
The War Daddy would always catch the speedster, @Burns, when it came to the merkins.

YHC’s 97 year old grandmother in law
Tomorrow, March 10, marks the 3-year anniversary of my brother’s passing.
Great morning in the gloom with these fine fellows. Thanks for the keys, @Burnsy!
All the love,
Frostbite
