Where’s Bagheera?

All Rolling Stone Backblasts

June 5th, 2018 By Schnitzel

It was a great morning, low humidity, little cool but the scheduled Q was sidelined due to back pain associated with long periods of standing followed by long periods of more standing.  Not sure what old Baggy had in mind, not sure he did either, but the 1.0 went to an old stand by that many of the new guys have not had the pleasure of indulging, No Mas, which means I wish Bagheera was the Q, in Spanish.

Mosey

Short mosey to the basketball court, where the warm-up went like this:

Warmup

SSH x25

CP x15

Merkins x10

Mountain Climber x15

Plank jacks x10

IST x15

At this point, YHC needed to stop the warm-up or there’d be no gas left in the tank for the pending grinder.

No Mas

I believe @Sugar introduced this to RS many moons ago, and not sure its gotten easier since then, but I did not feel that death was forthcoming, just a lot of pain.

Partners work up and down the ladder of back-and-forths across the basketball court, taking turns.

  1. Run
  2. Lateral
  3. Carioca or Karyoke
  4. Frogger – Bunny Hop
  5. Quadraphelia
  6. Slalom
  7. Bear Crawl
  8. Burpee Broad Jump
  9. Power Skip

Goes like this,

P1 runs, P2 rest, P2 runs P1 rests.

P1 does lateral, P2 rests, P2 does lateral, P1 rests.  Repeat run.

P1 does Carioca, P2 rests, P2 does Carioca, P1 rests.  Repeat lateral.  Repeat run.

And on to Frogger, and so on, on down to Power skip,  Then come back up the ladder.

Most partners finished, a few were lingering when time was called.

Announcements

Q School at RS on Thursday at 0500.  Get more comfortable, learn core F3 principles.

Speaking of which, watch for Q Source study at Mineshaft.  If you haven’t read Dredd’s Q Source, they are spot on.  Be the HIM!  What is HIM?  Gotta read the Q Source.

HDHH at 26 Acres, Wed I believe.

No Mas is good partner bonding.  @Heatstroke, I did not get enough breathing breaks, pace yourself a little bit for the old guy.  @Roomba fell victim to the Slalom, hitting wrong and trigging back pain.  Hope to get him back out real soon.

Aye!
