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 …
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 …
I don’t know what this is called, but….
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!
YHC has longed dreamed of making it around the entire Lafreniere Park walking track in one workout. Two Yutes, Boo Boo, and Darkwing Duck emerged form the gloom to assist in my attempt to make it around the park. 5:30 Disclaimer and mosey to the beginning of the walking track. …
On a warm, muggy morning that serves as a reminder of what’s to come in the next few months, 13 PAX (a Popeye’s record) gathered for YHC’s Q, motivated only by getting better and not missing YHC’s Q…. and maybe because Popeye’s was the ISI point today. Perhaps they knew …
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 …
Rev Sox is on the IL with shoulder inflammation so the team at Popeye’s turned to YHC for the spot start. Temps were in the mid 60s and the birds were out in full force. Warm-Up SSH x 25, Mountain Climbers x 26, Imperial Walkers x 20, Grass Grabbers x …
While this title refers to everywhere if you happen to be Hawg, most of us resort to our carefully fitted and selected-for-foot-type running shoes. However, we could all borrow a page from Hawg’s book (maybe minus all the straps) and run barefoot on the track at Lafreniere. It’s some kind …
Revsox was on deck for the Q, but had a conflict and requested a sub two days out. YHC and Mahatma volunteered to cover, but YHC got the nod with a courtesy deferral by Mahatma. Walleye crossed the border and made the trek to unfamiliar territory. He got a starlight …
8 Pax. Upper 40s. Dry. Still winter at the time of the workout. Mahatma was kind enough to allow YHC to take the Q this morning, since I missed my recent Q at Popeye’s. After a disclaimer warning the pax (especially those from Uptown) about the diverse wildlife roaming the …
