8 men joined forces at #RollingStone to either get stronger or heckle the Q. YHC started off the morning with a mile mosey to scout out a potential warm up run route for the pax. Usually when I guest Q, I study previous backblasts and remember conversations had with local pax about what exercises they hate. Then, I fill 45 minutes with those exercises. Many of the RS men have gotten HEAVILY involved with rucking this year (see what I did there?) so YHC wanted to be sure to add some running to the workout. @Sugar has also expressed his hatred for non-creative burpees to me MANY times…so needed those as well. Finally, @Whatley visited Davis Lake a few weeks ago and killed 45 minutes with 100 burpees, 200 merkins, 300 squats and 1.5 miles of running so I had to be sure to add something similar.

Warm-o-rama:

1 mile run shortened to half a mile after the mumblechatter started picking up from the likes of @whatley and @heatstroke.

Moleskin:
As I said this morning, if there’s one thing that I am sure that I’m not, it is creative. But simple and effective gets the job done…no matter what @Sugar and @Whatley say.

Thanks for partnering up @firestone. He was so excited to push around someone smaller than him.

Good to be back out that way again. I would encourage each of you to get out of your comfort zones and, once you’ve taken care of your own SUG, sign up at another AO to meet the rest of your MeCa brothers!
