November 1st, 2018 By Chicken Strip

10 men recovered from a post-Halloween sugar crash for a hockey inspired beatdown. Following Heatstroke’s advice that a guest Q can use more than the parking lot, YHC had everyone mosey toward the middle school so they could work out in that parking lot. For all the fartsackers, taperers, and sugar crash hungover pax who didn’t post, here’s what happened.

5:30 Puck drop and disclaimer

Mosey to Middle School
(circle back halfway there to pick up some late arrivals – Wormburner and Stretchy. As a late arrival guy himself  YHC has a soft spot for the late crew and didn’t want anyone to miss out on the beatdown).

SSH x 25 IC
IST x 15 IC
Good Mornings x 15 IC
(Fresh from my trip to Raleigh I brought this exercise back. Standing with legs shoulder width apart and arms out to side parallel to ground with palms up. Bend at waist so palms are now facing down and back is parallel to ground then bend back up).

Mosey to the parking lot/rink for the hockey game

1st Period – Offence/Forwards

Get into groups of 3 (There are 3 forwards on a line in hockey – Right wing, Left wing, Center hence groups of 3)

Station 1 (Left wing)
Apolo Ohno (Today they are called Bobby Orr) x 200 (single count)
Lunges x 200 (single count)

Station 2 (Right wing)
Merkins x 200
Freddie Merks x 200 (single count)
(Repeato as lunges take way more time than freddie merks and YHC underestimated how quickly the pax would crush the merkins).

Center (passes) runs between and switches out with wingers. Counts are in total for the group. Exercise counts add up to 400 since there are 4 forward lines in a game lineup.

End of 1st period and the Zamboni Ice Resurfacer is on the ice so we gotta clear out so we take one lap around the track and back to the parking lot

2nd Period – Defense/Defensive Pairs

Break into partners (There are 2 defensemen that are paired together on the ice at a time).

Partner 1:
Merkins x 100 (YHC wienki had burpees – be glad I forgot and had to save time)
Bobby Hurley x 100
LBCs x 100

Partner 2 backward run on parking lot and back then switch out with partner 1. Counts are in total for the pair. Exercise counts add up to 300 since there are 3 defensive pairings in a game lineup.

No time for the 2nd intermission and 3rd period. YHC always has more planned than the pax can get to. So we’ll have to return to the hockey theme another time for the 3rd period, goalies, shoot out, fighting, power plays, penalty kills, etc.

Mosey back to primary school

COT – Namorama

Prayers – Stretchy’s brother’s surger (amputation below the knee); Marie Calender’s mom and Heatstroke’s dad, both battling cancer.

Announcments – Get on that sign-up genius for November. All the BC’s are taken but cruises and M3’s still are open – do your part. Speaking of which tomorrow’s Q is still open…

Moleskine

It was an honor to lead you guys. I heard reference to the early plankers club and had to read Heatstroke’s backblast to get the reference. Hopefully there was none of those shenanigans today and all counts and exercises were performed and counted correctly – you’re only cheating yourself if you don’t. I’ve made Rolling Stone a second home on Tuesdays and Thursdays so it was nice to get a chance to Q here – a tough thing to do with the way you guys get on that sign up genius. Definitely a good problem to have, keep it up! Also total mileage was around 2 miles – nice pushing guys!
