Drug into Q’g at the incessant behest of Master Q Othello, YHC showed up on a fine Friday the 13th to administer what was hopefully a good beatdown for all. It’s been a looong while since last Q but it was good to get on the mic for a change.

Glad to see the park open when I drove up. Mint Hill Man was just opening up. Not having to haul the gear over the gate was a small blessing. Ironic, since we were actually there for a workout & to haul our gear. I guess as long as it’s on our terms it’s ok. Can’t have inconvenience producing the same results can we?

Good to see Chum & Sparkplug pull in……at least YHC won’t have to go it along….. Thanks to Chum for debating the finer points of a KB deadlift & Good Mornings…..if it’s on the internet, it must be true!

Disclaimer was given. All the required legalese was given then summarized up for Pax understanding.

(why can’t Buckwheat be on time?)

Warmup: SSH, Hamstring Stretch, Windmills, Arm Circles, Imperial Walker, Overhead Shoulder Stretch, Plankjacks

The Thang: Pax performs in somewhat quick succession 26 Exercises as called by the Q. All should be done with a weight of choice. (too bad Delta wasn’t there with his garden hose cinder blocks). Starting with Pongo (thanks for the demo sir), each Pax to Pallet Pull up the slight incline to the waste containers & return. Speed of which is Pax’s choice. Goal was to complete the 26 Round 2x with the Pax adding their weight to the pallet for extra credit. Had to cut pallet distance down mid way through the 2nd, but in hindsight, could have dispensed with that time saving measure & stuck with the plan. But Q let clock watching get the better of him & started deviating from the clipboard. This produced some recycling of exercises & ad libitum on the fly.

(special thanks to BlueCrush who called the exercises during YHC’s pallet pulls & who enabled YHC not to have to count, just do 5 more reps after BC is done. Thanks to Hot Corner who loaned out his weight for YHC’s 2nd pull when YHC didn’t follow his own directions…sorry about that.)

No Mary per se’. Added in some Mary’esque exercises toward the end just to satisfy the purists. (but, Tough skins wasn’t there, so not sure why I was concerned)

Closeout- Count Off (13, no 14), Name-o Rama, Announcements, Prayer

Moleskin: Thanks to all who showed up today. Hopefully it was worth your time. Amazed at all the respects who lead the way at each AO but especially Mint Hill. You guys push everyone to be better & show us all how to do F3 & life. To the Bacon Bros, thanks for making the trek, it’s much appreciated.
