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.

Black Ice

AO: westeros
Q: Natural Ice , Black Lung
PAX: Michelin Man, Tim the Toolman, DintyMoore, Puzzlah, Siri, Pep, Hedwig, bluemule, Duncan
FNGs: None
COUNT: 11
CONDITIONS: Immaculate

WARMUP: SSH, Leg stretchish things

THE THANG: YHC kicked off the Q with a long mosey featuring multiple sets 10 merkins strategically placed to keep the pax together. Once we hit the bridge we did sets of sprints ending with a long set of Lt Dans across the bridge. Michelin Man gave a nice complement by confirming that the Q was set too Hard Mode.

Black Lung took over for an off road mosey up to Love Hill followed by a punishing round of Merry consisting of WW1, Flutter Kicks, and Leg Raises. Proceeding with a session of partnered sprint work around the hill before heading back to the startdex.

MOLESKINE: When the Q is training for a half marathon – the Pax is training for a half marathon!

COT: Prayers were lifted up!

NO BURPEE REQUEST

AO: bomber
Q: hambone
PAX: Sherlock, DintyMoore, Pep, Chunks, Hair Band, Puzzlah, Hedwig, CubCadet, Papa Bear
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS:

WARMUP: No time to waste–no warmup.

THE THANG: CubCadet requested that there be no burpees + running, and because I respect the most respected members of the most respected AO in Nashville, how could I not oblige?

The thing about the burpee is there is a whole bunch of gettin’ up and gettin’ down. Why not just cut out the extra movement and do the merkin and the squat separately? The geriatrics in the crowd approved.

Besides the running and stopping for merkins and squats, we also managed to get a quick set of pull ups and then moved over to bear crawls + other work near Nebraska Ave.

The closeout was Jacobs ladder with NO BURPEES–just merkins and squats. Work your way up to 7 and then SSH for the six.

MOLESKIN: DintyMoore was late, but he was able to follow his nose to my stank and catch up with the crew. He just knew how to get us.

Sherlock came flying in with rizzzzz because he caught lots of red lights on the way over, but he made up for it by catching up and then performing Jacob’s Ladder like a champion.

Speaking of late, Chunks came flying in on his fleet feet accompanied by Hair Band. He was pretty smoked, but “that was the pace he picked”.

Papa Bear, Hedwig I don’t want you guys to feel left out–you guys looked excellent on the bear crawls. I know you’ll lead some in the future.

Puzzlah I couldn’t notice any problems with the hip. The man is large, but he moves like butter on a lobster.

Speaking of lobster, Pep, I’m really sorry I didn’t have more at 525. Sometimes all I have to give is my love and the workout.

CubCadet, I fulfilled my promise, so even though you may not technically be AOQ, your word reigns supreme and I honor it–even if I have to use a bit of semantics to get the workout in that I want.

COT: Prayers for Hedwig’s 2nd cousin (technically?) and his awesome life and passing. Prayers for the Beam/Beem family and the loss of their child (thx DintyMoore). Prayers for Hair Band’s 5 minute move.

hambone out.

A Sweet and Salty Suprise

AO: bomber
Q: SalPal
PAX: Pep, Hedwig, DintyMoore, CubCadet, Vector, Tim the Toolman, Papa Bear
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
CONDITIONS: Brisk, you’d think it was still spring.

WARMUP: Short mosey + active stretches.

THE THANG:
1. Hill bernies + burpees + jog down + iron mikes on a timer. Reps added until splits left ~30 seconds for rest.
2. SWEET or SALTY? DintyMoore picked SALTY. Situps, Air Presses, Low Plank Hold, Tricep Dips, and “You vs. You Burpees”
3. Precision sprints – try to run to outfield and back, get as close as you can to 30 seconds. Missing time meant burpees.

MOLESKINE: People spent time trying to figure out if SaltyPal is a bit, or if I’m genuinely that angry all the time. It’s a bit of both. 😉

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2.0 workout next week, see slack for deets.

COT: Prayers for healing, community members and family recovering from surgery. Hedwig with 2.0 en route + new job. Prayers for my M + her job search, praise for ongoing success. All other intentions spoken + unspoken.

Cafe Star Bagel for Coffeteria.

Stay salty Nashville. Sally out.
