Buckets O’ Fun

All All MECA Backblasts

September 28th, 2016 By AstroVan

So, a few months ago, I decided to buy a bunch of old pickle buckets from Firehouse Subs to use for a Q. What I soon learned was that, the smell of pickle does not quickly dissipate from the buckets and pickle is a very strong smell when in a closed car or garage. Now that the buckets are slowly ceasing to punish me with their smell, I have decided to use the buckets to punish the rest of the PAX.

Start with a Mosey around the parking lots with butt-kickers, skips high knees, side straddles. Circle up for:

SSH – 15IC
Windmills (there was a stiff breeze blowing this morning) – 10 IC
IST – 10 IC
Tempo Merkins – 10 IC
Plank Jacks – 10 IC

Mosey to start to Greenway entrance. The Thang:

Explain that there are buckets placed at the entrance to the school, on the first bridge on the Greenway and near the rock at the Middle School. Break into 3 groups. Run to a bucket, pull an exercise out of the bucket, perform, run back to Greenway and perform exercise with a rock. Run to next bucket and continue for roughly 30 minutes.

Rock Exercises-
20 Curls
20 Shoulder Presses
20 Chest Presses

Bucket 1-
20 Lunges
25 Squats
20 Jump Squats
15 Burpees
30 Plank Jacks
15 Tempo Squats
15 Inchworm Merkins

Bucket 2-
15 Derkins
20 Carolina Dry Docks
20 Hand Release Merkins
25 Dips
25 Merkins
30 Incline Merkins
15 Burpees

Bucket 3-
45 Count Balls to Wall
Peoples Chair w/ 45 Air Presses
20 Donkey Kicks
15 Tempo Merkins
50 Mountain Climbers
Bear Crawl to Cone, Crab Walk Back
15 Burpees

Mosey to Mary
Low Flutter – YHC
Pretzel Crunch – Schnitzel
Sourdough – Mountain Climber Merkin
Marie – Homer to Marge medley with low flutter and dolly thrown in
Missing One ???

By my watch, over 2 miles were covered and the front groups got through about 3 1/3 cycles. Good work to all.

    Great workout @Astrovan. I love the ones that involve a lot of running. Good mixup of different kinds of exercises too. I had never even heard of Donkey Kicks before!

    @Strechy @Sourdough great job team! We got through 2 1/3 laps. Not bad.
    I think the Mary exercise you’re missing is the Dying Cockroach-Sugar.

    I hope to see a good showing for my Q Thursday. (Hint, there will be a lot of running)

    Until then…

    Sad that I missed this one, sounds like a lot of fun, minus the running of course 🙂

      Next time. Hope you are sleeping better.

    Bagheera, if you like running, you need to drag your Schitzel dad Dad out to RD Cruise on Wednesdays. I believe you will get your wish.

    Nice Q, Asro Van, hope to see you do it again!

    Palin, Sugar, Milkbone, Verona- good work, fast group, thanks for the push!

    Until next time.
