When the opportunity arose to step up and take the Q on Friday I jumped on it. I had signed up a bunch of Pax to Q a while back and was waiting my turn to stock the new AO with some cinder blocks! I stopped at Lowe’s on my way home from work on Thursday night and bought 12. My little Audi A4 had a hard time making it up Wisner Mountain with all the extra weight in the trunk! Even got some gloves because I figured the pax wouldn’t be ready for this.
The thang
Five pax showed up on this wet morning. We moseyed towards Wisner Mountain but pulled off in the grass to do a little warm up. There was some mummblecatter about how Catfish would not have approved on the length of the grass.
Hillbillies x 20
Grass Grabbers x 10
Peter Parkers x 20
We moseyed on to the base of the mountain. Started things out with 10 burpees before heading up. At the top of the mountain exercises were:
Decline Merkins x 15
Low Slow Squats x 15
Merkins x 15
Moseyed to the other side of the mountain and around the road underneath the bridge. I had seen what looked like to me a whole bunch of pull up bars. To the not F3 person these were just the beams that held up the bridge. We congregated here for 10 pull-ups OYO. We then started to mosey back to the base of the mountain when we stumbled upon these 12 cinderblocks under the bridge! There was conveniently 5 pairs of gloves to hold these cinderblocks with! We each grabbed a cinderblock and headed to the base of the mountain. Exercise that followed was quite painful:
Ascending Manmakers up the mountain. At every other line we did a manmaker but increased the block press each time (kinda like Jack Webbs). First line, one manmaker plus two block presses
Second line, two manmakers plus four block presses
And so on, all the way up to ten manmakers plus twenty block presses.
Needless to say we needed a breather after this. We walked our blocks back down to the base of the mountain. Next, we did squats with our blocks up the mountain in the same ascending fashion:
First line, one squat
Second line, two squats
Third line, three squats… all the way up.
Time was running out so we walked our blocks back to their storing place and moseyed back over the mountain all the way to the pavillion.
Circled up for count off, namorama, announcements, and prayer.
Intense workout, good company.
Appreciate the opportunity to lead.
The AO is stocked with 12 blocks if anyone is interested in using them for any future Q’s!
