It had been a while since YHC had Q’d/posted to TRQ, so I wanted to cook up a fresh, atypical beatdown for the badass #Clydesdale regulars. In retrospect, I should have spent more time cooking up a fresh, atypical approach to time management. A quick recitation of the Mission statement and Core Principles and we…
Respects and Respect-Squareds overrepresented at your friendly neighborhood no-run boot camp, The Rock Quarry. WARMARAMA: SSH, Abe Vigodas, Whirlies, IST, Merkins. Plank to Down Dog. DORA the Flagpole Sitter: Dips, Arm Swirlies, Phelps. More Dips, and some Irkins. DORA the EXPLORA of FLORA: Partner up, #1 does exercises, #2 mosey to sidewalk: 100 WW2, 150…
It was a balmy pre going back to school morning and YHC made the trek cross town to the home of the Dash’s initial core workout. This concept was so admired by YHC another was later opened for WeFoCo. Non runners tend to be of the older demographic and the Q was not disappointed. When…
A beautiful morning at Speas Elementary for TRQ. Five of us regulars joined by Yunus DR from Durham on Aug 18. We warmed up with the usual SSH, AV, Whirlies, Y-flies, and Michael Phelps. Then to the parking lot at school entrance for Merkin Madness: 10 merkins, bear crawl 2 parking spaces, 9 merkins, bear…
Don’t recall how we got to it, but somehow the Q was accused of being a socialist and perhaps F3 all around was…less than capitalistic. Made for excellent MC. Warm O Rama (justified MC about cadence speed and form from your benevolent Q) Walk on over to the flag pole, circle up! …
Always honored to Q the premier non-running Thursday beatdown with rock in the name that doesn’t require using rocks. YHC wanted to come up with something sufficient and festive for such an esteemed/older crowd. I said, “THE CROWD IS OLDER, BOOMERANG.” First step is to come up with a sufficient soundtrack to help get the…
Realizing that July 14 is Bastille Day in France – their national holiday and the official ‘start’ of the French Revolution – YHC decided to try a themed workout for a change. The Bastille was a fort and prison and a symbol of the monarchy of Louis XVI and his tone deaf wife Marie Antoinette,…
With 50% more burpees to kick it off! Van Gogh and Hansel arrived from a run and various body weight exercises aka a murph? A vehicle was parked that turned out to belong to Five Dollar Footlong, who did an EC run prior to and for the first part of the workout and showed up…
Nine somewhat respectable gentlemen posted for exercises and tunes (tune list below) in multiples of seven. It was more boring than WIB, and went something like this. Warm up 7 burpees 14 Merkins 21 walkers 28 squats 35 jack reachers 42 LBC OYO 49 SSH OYO Run to Lido Deck, where we did the following:…
When YHC got the sad news we had lost Goofy (to a Covid exposure), and a substi-Q was needed, YHC got to work on a beatdown that would celebrate and help us remember our long lost friend. (until he’s out of quarantine and posts again) It feels like we have suffered enough, and then this…
Imitators abound in our narcissistic culture but are easily recognized when the attempt is made to impersonate one so luminous as our Spamalot. A group gathered at Speas this morning, some unintentionally, i.e. Mongoose, to continue the goodbye tour for the real thing. Warmrama: SSHs, ISTs, Arm Swirlies, Windmills, each x 1 minute. The Thang:…
9 pax gathered on a beautiful morning for a Huckleberry TRQ Q. Mongoose was quick to point out that he did not want to be there and also that yhc had lost his touch due to the low attendance. always the motivator is that mongoose…. 530 warm o rama – SSH, Abe V, IW, whirly…
