Impromp-Q

AO: bomber
Q: CubCadet
PAX: Papa Bear, Tim the Toolman, Pep, Blueprint, Wet Wipes, Hedwig, Black Lung
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8 (4 RESPECTs)
CONDITIONS: Thick

WARMUP: 30 seconds of waiting around to see if anything interesting was going to happen. CubCadet said “I’ll Q bc I hate those ones where each person does something for 5 minutes.” Three minutes later, Black Lung strolled up and said “I’ll Q because I think I am supposed to.” Sensing a burpee heavy Q, CubCadet said “oh no you don’t”…and the rest is Bomber history as archived on slack. .

THE THANG:
– 11s up and down the hill (Papa Bear picked monkey humpers at the bottom). The top was squats and merkins, not to be combined then confused with……
– Moved to the picnic tables. 2 sets of 15 dips, 15 incline merkins, and 10 step-ups each side.
– Bernie to start. Dealer’s choice, up to 25 reps. Ended at 6:13 much to the discontent of Black Lung

MOLESKINE: Nothing insightful beyond discussing the etymology of “respect.” Michelin Man we missed you, but hope to catch you next time. Couldn’t replicate your enthusiasm.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack

COT: Prayers for Wet Wipes Mom, struggling with dementia, and his Dad as primary caregiver. Hedwig and his wife expecting first 2.0. Big week of tests. Blueprint who had been away for a while but really great to have him back. Apologies, as I do feel like I am forgetting someone we prayed for. Thank you for the chance to lead Bomber, the most RESPECTed AO in Nashville. Rumor is Black Lung is up next Friday, where I’m sure I’ll be doing a lot of (modified) burpees.

Bomber, Friendly or Intimate (depends on who you ask)

AO: bomber
Q: CubCadet
PAX: Crawlspace, CubCadet, hambone, Wet Wipes, Pep, sooner, Papa Bear, Blueprint
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8, yes rather light for Bomber
CONDITIONS: 56, sort of damp

WARMUP: Normal stuff plus 90 second merkin to failure. Entertainment provided by mumble chatter about ‘aiming’ problems.

THE THANG: Ran as a group to Richland Park pavilion. Three sets of:
– 30 ski jumpers
– 25 dips on picnic table
– 20 lateral lunges
– 15 incline merkins
– 10 box jumps onto table (bench or top)
– Lap around the library / pavilion in between

Release run back to start. (Total run ~ 2.1 miles). Hold plank or peoples’ chair.

Wrapped it up with 50 4 count flutters.

MOLESKINE: Missed a lot of the Bomber regulars this morning, including our AOQ DintyMoore who I learned this week has quite the reputation as a bowling coach. Hope it went well with thebuffalo Overheard “I miss it when Vector is here for our runs” and “this is a good playlist, CubCadet” (recycled from a 2021 St. Patty’s Day titan workout)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Not much, check slack. I hear is loaded with useful information.

COT: Safe travels and a chance to recharge for those going on break. Prayers to make us better leaders and men. Thanks for the chance to be with you today. You inspire me to be better.

Crumping

AO: westeros
Q: Wolfpack
PAX: Tim the TOOLMAN, Black Lung, DintyMoore, Grape, Natural Ice, Pep, Red Skull, Sally, Spinal Tap, Blueprint
FNGs: None
COUNT: 11
CONDITIONS: Guns out, cut off sleeves type of morning

WARMUP: Mosey around. BACs. BACBACs. Imperial Walkers. WMHs.

THE THANG:
Split up into pairs (Choose a new Pax to pair with after every exercise). Theme was, if you can do 1, you can do 2, if you can do 2, you can do 10. Each Pax alternated with each other working up from 1 rep to 10 reps. 55 total reps per exercise per Pax.

Overhead Seal Claps
Mosey to tennis courts
Squats
Mosey to playground
Merkins
Mosey to stairs
Step Ups
Mosey to Playground
Dips
Mosey to tennis courts
Iron Mikes
Mosey back to flag

MARY
Same concept, but in a group working up to 5 reps.

Leg Raises
Shoulder Taps

MOLESKINE:
Crumping is a term in mountaineering/backpacking when every movement is tough and even the smallest steps feel hard. It’s in these moments that we need to realize that if we can take one step, we can take the next. And even more important to understand we don’t have to go at it alone. Ask for help where you need it and lend a helping hand when you can. “Leave no man behind and leave no man where you found him”

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Biscuit Run this Saturday (Westhaven to Loveless)

Next Tuesday (3/5) Bring Your Kid To Workout Day at TheKnoll in Bellevue. If you’ve ever wondered what a 2.0 workout looks like bring the kids and come out! (Recommended age 6+)

COT: A moment of silent reflection for all prayers spoken and unspoken. Cheers to you men!
