YHC thought he had the reigns of power under his complete control, having secured his Smokehouse Q authority through the appropriate channels, i.e. Signup Genius, but was soon surprised when a pint-sized Napoleonic usurper named Fancy Pants attempted a coup.  The workout started with tiny hints of the onslaught to come.

Warmup

Mosey lap around the parking lot. (The rebel wastes no time challenging the Q, by attempting to run ahead.)

• Snake the parking lot lines. (Again, the scoundrel repeatedly attempts to skip ahead, shadowing his aggression in feigned ignorance of how to run the Snake.)
• Hold Plank  (Complaints about the roughness of the workout surface surface)
  
• Hold Six-inches plank
• Side Plank w/leg lifts R/L
• Merkin x10
• 10 Yurpees OYO

At this point, the little Castro launches his first covert attack under the guise of “helping the people.” YHC temporarily cedes power in a gesture of goodwill.  Under Fancy Pants’ direction:

Mosey to the soccer field (softer ground). 

The interim Q declares the next exercise is Windmill, but after acing the cadence script, begins doing Side-Straddle Hop.  Commandeering control from the powers that be would be more difficult than he thought.  Reboot:

• SSH x20 (Perfectly ended with a change of inflection)

Sensing nothing more than a blip of dissension in the previous events, YHC secures control once more.

• Windmill x10
• Imperial Squat Walkers x10
• Moroccan Night Club x20

The would-be Q thief launches his first broadside by insisting on leading the next exercise, and makes a punishing choice after the shoulder burn of the Moroccan Night Club.

• Merkin x10 (Feel the burn)

Again, power is seized back by its rightful possessor.

Mosey over to the Picnic shelter.

• 20 Step-Ups each leg OYO
• 10 Box Jumps OYO
• Bear Crawl across the top of six picnic tables and their benches. Repeato x3.
• Dip x20

Another attack is mounted by the jungle guerilla and he leads the pax away from the Q’s next intended beatdown station.

Mosey down the trail towards the nature center and COP at the first intersection.

This is where the Fancy Pants tries to get fancy and introduces his own style of exercise. Not surprisingly, as most egotistical power grabbers do, he named the exercise after himself.  YHC will call it what it truly is.

• Side-Angle Switch x6 (Start in Side-Angle Pose, then Switch to Revolved Side-Angle Pose, in cadence), Repeato other side.

The true Q gets the pax back on course.

Mosey to the hill next to the baseball field.

• 10 Air Squats
• Quadraphelia up the hill
• 1 Jump Squat
• Run down the hill
• Repeato the above until 1 Air Squat and 10 Jump Squats.

It was during this beatdown that the little usurper seemed to reconsider his desire for power and momentarily disappeared for water.

Mosey to the concession stand for COP.

• 10 WWII Situps OYO
• LBC x25
• The Squirm x10
• Crunchy Frog x10
• Mason Twist x10
• J-Lo x10

There is a dirt trail that goes around the playground area that is about the size of a regulation track (400 meters).  Run the trail, completing one the following exercises on each side.

• 20 Air Squats
• 10 Merkins
• 20 Lunges
• 10 Mountain Climbers
• Repeato for 4 laps.

Mary

• LBC x25
• Jail Break to the flag.

Moleskin

• In all seriousness, thanks Fancy Pants for volunteering to lead some of the exercises.  I’m a glad you are so eager to grow into a leader. #HIM.  Fancy Pants even volunteered to lead a whole workout in a couple of weeks, but dad, Cosmo, said maybe in a few years.
• Boondocks t-shirts are now available for preorder on the F3 Mudgear site.  We have 12 days to get our orders in, so don’t wait!
• Next up:
  • MECA Monday, White Lightning at Charlotte Motor Speedway, 0530.
  • The Grove at Simmons YMCA, Tuesday at 0530. Baby Face has the Q.

Peace,

Deuce

Boondocks, The Smokehouse
