Burpees…tastefully done. Replacement Q Edition

All Rolling Stone Backblasts

February 21st, 2019 By Heatstroke

YHC was trying to get the Q calendar all filled up for February for the arrival of our new Master Q JB about a month ago and asked Wormburner if he could pick up the 2/21 Q, he agreed…with one stipulation…not doing it if it’s raining.  Agreement was had.  Well, fast forward to last night, and there was not much getting around the fact that the forecast was pretty much calling for a downpour during our beatdown.  While I believe YHC could have heavily guilted Wormburner into Q’ing today, we DID have an agreement and the spot was mine…to the surprise of 10 others who showed up in the not-raining gloom (of course.)  Explanation and disclaimer given and we are off…

YHC decided on a plan to utilize some covered area, while exposing the pax to the elements, or in this case, lack thereof.  Then the plan got super creative when he decided to do just one single exercise…just one…no warmarama, no mary…one exercise…the burpee.  YHC is not a savage physically, or mentally (mostly,) so some fatigue management would be in play.  So, we ran to a covered area, did 1 burpee, ran to another covered area, did 2 burpees…  We ran around the school to covered areas until we reached 13 at roughly the halfway point of the beatdown and started counting back down 12, 11, 10..  until recover, recover.

COT:  Prayers for Survivor’s wife.  Prayers for job seeking pax.  Happy Hour at JB’s tonight 7:30ish…maybe more like after 8.  1st round on Roomba!  Could be our biggest turnout in a while:)

Moleskin:  By JBs calculations (and my poor counting) we estimated we did 156 burpees this morning to go along with our 2.6 miles covered.  Kilowatt was putting on his ruck right before the workout, I HIGHLY advised against it #notruckfriendly.  We ain’t here for easy, but…  MC broke out some form police on folks as we were hitting the top of the ladder – nice.  No Pass has now posted to 9 straight beatdowns after starting last Monday – ridiculous – great job – get that dime tomorrow!  The “young” guys may need to step it up, Sugar and MC are out there pacing the beatdowns.  Manwich enjoys burpees – he is weird.  Jimmy Buffett does not enjoy burpees – he is not weird.  Sugar is ambivalent about burpees, but believes mainly they are thrown in for some “cheap suck”…he might be right but is there such a thing?  We did them regardless.  Funny how I wrote the back blasts for both bootcamps this week without being signed up to Q either of them.  Well maybe not that funny.  Be good brothers.
