O Boo Boo, Where Art Thou?

YHC arrived at Popeyes at 5:25am to spot the trucks of two of his favorite Pax members, Darkwing Duck and Tua. Sadly, those would be the only F3NOLA vehicles YHC would spot this morning for a sweaty Popeyes workout. About 2 months ago, YHC filled in the Q sheet with …

Mosey to the Chickens

QHC thought it was a joke when RY posted that QHC was to be Q at Popeye’s this morning.  QHC had been there only twice, and pretty sure that at least once he got there only by accident.  With a sly smile across Rev Sox’s face, no PAX was fessing …

NAME-O-RAMA

YHC has been on the sidelines with a shoulder injury for the last couple of months, so he had plenty of time to plan for this particular workout at his beloved Popeyes. So as 10 men arrived in the sweaty, gloom it was time to roll at 5:30am. sharp. Wait….an …

11’s at Popeyes

YHC was excited for his second  Q at Popeyes and had a decided to use the vast opportunities that the parks has to offer for some 11’s.  Quick disclaimer was given and we moseyed a bit for the warm up. Warm-Up SSHs x 25 Seal Jacks x 20 Grass Grabbers …

A great day for a VQ, relatively low humidity, nice breeze, and 3 partners in the un-gloom.

Opened with some variety, shoulder tag was fun, alternating side shuffles. Abe Vigoda and the Sprinkler got us warmed up. Mosey to the Gazebo with a bonus run around the perimeter.. Monkey humpers and Bat Wings to start. Trying to remember to lead a good cadence is always a challenge and not having a good bead on the official names of some exercises (hence the title). TClaps for the assistance of the PAX. Partner workouts Help a Brother up, BIg Boy Situps (modified), assisted single leg squats, various Parkour type jaunts, hanging leg lifts, partner sit ups rotating to touch elbows, Out of the pool, some other spontaneous static hold challenges. Mosey back to the flag for closing, intentions, announcements, BOM. Thank you all for supporting my VQ!

What I Like

With RevSox on the IL and a number of regulars “preparing” for the H8!, I figured we might have some low numbers and that maybe it would be a good time to do an impromptu Q school at Popeyes. We are going to need some more Qs with RevSox out …
