Q: Beverly<\/p>\n

Date: 5\/22\/18<\/p>\n

YHC made the trek from NW Winston Salem to SE Elementary School, which meant getting up early and going to an AO I had only been to twice before, which meant having to scope out the AO prior to the beatdown, which meant getting up even earlier, which meant I was in a bad mood, which meant I would probably not be invited back, which turned out to be uttered during bear crawls.<\/p>\n

An ideal number of 11 pax turned out to see what the “furner from over yonder” would bring. Although there was no theme, the ulterior motive was to focus on shoulders, quads, and glutes. By all accounts, mission accomplished. It went like this:<\/p>\n

Warm-o-rama<\/strong><\/div>\n
Fastest SSH Goofy has ever done x 20<\/div>\n
Abe Vigodas x 10<\/div>\n
Copperhead squats x 20<\/div>\n
Plunger’s favorite Running w\/ scissors x 20<\/div>\n
Zuckerburg’s favorite Mountain Climbers x 20<\/div>\n
Alternating shoulder taps in preparation for shoulder work x 20<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Plunger was kind enough to inform YHC that there was a hill at Parliament, so we moseyed there first. YHC wanted to make sure we got our socks soaked from the start – no point in waiting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lindsays aka Forties<\/div>\n
    \n
  • 5 plank jacks –> bear crawl uphill –> 35 merkins –> mosey downhill<\/li>\n
  • Increase plank jacks by 5, decrease merkins by 5 each trip, reps=40 each time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    20 Squats at top of hill –> mosey downhill –> 20 Baryshnikovs –> run backwards uphill x 2<\/div>\n
    Finish with 20 bonus squats<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    On one of my two previous visits to Parliament, Whirly Qed and unveiled the block pile, so we moseyed there next. A variety of blocks and pavers were distributed.<\/div>\n
    Colt 45s: 15 curls straight to chest, 15 curls thighs to straight, 15 curls full extension<\/div>\n
    Block Webbs: irkin on block followed by OH press, increase by one rep each time x 6<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Stack all blocks back except one, mosey to Wall. If the feet weren’t wet yet, they most definitely were now.<\/div>\n
    Wall sits –>\u00a0Pass the block w\/ 5 overhead presses each –> 5 Upright rows each on the way back<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Mary<\/strong><\/div>\n
      \n
    • American hammer x 25<\/li>\n
    • LBC x 20<\/li>\n
    • Low flutter x 10<\/li>\n
    • Metronome x 8<\/li>\n
    • Mutton crunches x 10 each leg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • Big Shmedfest News! Wiseman Brewery is partnering with Shmedfest to raise funds for Crisis Control with a Happy Hour each Tuesday of August and will be providing refreshments during this year’s Shmedfest.\n
          \n
        • TR is Qing the Shmedlympics event the morning of the big day. More details to follow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • There was a Happy Hour sendoff for Tuco today at West End Opera House. If you’re reading this and were not there, you missed conversations about what exactly the West End Opera House is, what type of “demographic” frequents it, what our Ms think about us going there, Tuco’s chair throne, Mongoose’s desire to create new Twitter handles, and the number of buttons on YHC’s shirt. It was lit and Tuco seemed to be swoll.<\/li>\n
        • \u00a0 Two of Sassy’s uncles have passed away in the last month and his great uncle is also struggling. Prayers for Sassy, his mom, and the rest of the family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          • The MC started even before the workout. They are very welcoming to foreigners there.<\/li>\n
          • On the way to the hill, Offsides tried to convince YHC that a ramp that led to the dumpsters served as the “hill” at Parliament.<\/li>\n
          • Also on the way to the hill, someone (Schultz? Spamalot?) tired to scare YHC away by saying it was tick-infested.<\/li>\n
          • Neither of these ploys worked.<\/li>\n
          • We did 161 merkins. My shoulders and chest hurt.<\/li>\n
          • Boomerang gets it done. No complaining, no heckling, just all out effort.<\/li>\n
          • Goofy has been seen driving a baby blue mini Cooper convertible and a while BMW crossover with Dealer tags the last few days. Nothing suspicious about either of those…<\/li>\n
          • Good to meet Vegemite. His bear crawling was impressive and consistently strong.<\/li>\n
          • There was a deep conversation (as deep as they get at 0525 in the humid gloom) pre-workout about whether Schneider followed YHC or YHC followed Schneider first on Twitter. Either way, we’re both clearly Twitter stalkers.<\/li>\n
          • Sassy continues his transition to a bona fide runner when he runs his first marathon in Richmond in November. Good luck, we’re pulling for ya!<\/li>\n
          • Speaking of running, Harding did an EC run with some guy named Jimmy Smith prior to the workout. Nice work!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            It was great to get out of my bubble and Q at Parliament. Thanks for the push, Spamalot!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
