Shooter’s First at the Mill
All Kannon BackblastsFebruary 3rd, 2018
Another cold winter’s morning in the gloom. 19 degrees at post time didn’t stop 19 men, including 3 FNGs from a Tour de Village and a beat down at the Mill.
The Thang
A quick disclaimer with the group and our FNGs, then off for a short mosey through the construction zone in the Village with a burst of Qdrenaline from YHC on his VQ. A right turn had us come up on one of KPD’s finest waiting for Amway to do another California stop. Little did he know, Amway passed by a few minutes earlier. A right turn down an alley alongside the Gem Theater served as our Warmarama location. The enclosed alley brought out questions if this would be an FNG initiation. Q’s dry run on Thurs. confirmed no residents lived in the upper floors for the booming counts by the PAX. At Coffeteria, it was said this is now known as Shooter’s Alley.
- SSHs – 25 count (IC)
- Copperhead Squats – 10
- Finkle Swings – 10 each leg
- Shoulder Circles
- Muhammed Ali’s (A Shooter original), “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” – 10 of 3 jabs while bouncing around (IC)
A short mosey around FBC Kann., through Veteran’s Park to the Dale statue, entering the plaza while doing ISTs and circle up and grab a spot on the wall.
- Dips – 10
- Step-ups – 10 each leg, followed by 2 laps around the plaza
- Derkins – 10
- Noodling for Catfish (merkins) – 10 dips with each arm, in honor of our Catfish
- Back to the wall, Lunges towards Dale
- Gorilla Humpers – 10
Mosey down Main Street to the sidewalk by the parking garage
- 10 Merkins, 10 Jump Ups along the wall (Repeat)
- Floyd Mayweather Plank Punch – 10 (IC)
Mosey towards the railroad yard, entering the yard balancing down a railroad track and pick-up two, 20 lb. iron railroad track plates for the next round.
- Lunges – 10 steps out and back to starting point
- Arm curls – 10
- Plate lift over head, down behind neck – 5
- Man Makers – 10, called out by Catfish
- Bend Over Row – 10, called out by Gooney
Mosey over to Switzerland to put the next round to a vote. The choices: an Indian Run around the horse shoe loop or the Tunnel of Love, from my FNG post in August led by Guinness. The Indian Run was an overwhelming, landslide winner. We had time left to kill and Rooster offered another run. YHC’s legs weren’t up for another run, so the offer was taken up, but cut in half with a run towards Mary.
Mary:
- WWIIs – 10
- Rosalita Wips – 10 (IC)
- James Bonds – 10 (IC)
- Boat/Canoe – 5ish
- LBCs – 25 (IC), called out by Steel Cannon
- Brazilians/Trick Daddy’s – 30 (IC), called out by Catfish
Gents, it was an honor to be your Q for the first time and it was great to have 3 FNGs! I enjoyed putting together the workout from the other Qs, AO visits and different things out of the F3 Exercise pages, known as “the manual.” Already planning the new workout.
KANNON rocks!
