Snooki doesn’t drink but still knows good shit and procured some fine bourbon for a friend made available by another PAX, with the retrieval fee being a last minute Q commitment! Nobody was on the Q at the Woodshed, and I’m both a team player and willing leader, so it was a pleasure to lead five members of F3 Nation in a workout on May 20th. However, if I had to work for the bourbon, the PAX were going to have to do some work for as well!
A standard mosey and warm-up gave way to a longer mosey over to nearby Winterpock Elementary, where Snooki embraced the concepts of consistency and recycling (meaning repeating old workout concepts and routines, but hey, a last minute Q can forego some originality). Just like my first Q, we did some four corners action, LOTN style (since the original Snooki was a bit of a trollop), and the magic number for the day was 20 (for the 20th). At the corners: LBCs, Murkins, squats, and burpees.
After that fun, an indigenous persons run returned us to the Woodshed, where we did what Snooki called 4-3-2-1. We picked up some nearby coupons and did 4 exercises, then 3, then 2, then 1, all interspersed with laps down the parking lot and back with 20 side straddle hops (inspired by a recent Crabby workout with too. Many. Side straddle hops.) The exercises (20 of each) included bicep and tricep curls, military presses, bent over rows, flutter kicks, hammer twists, oblique dips, lunges, and goblet squats. Blockees were intended for the “1”, but instead, we did 1 lap carrying the coupons (you know, for time constraints), which brought us to our closure.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Boys of Summer continues over the next few months with Thursday morning workouts at Timberwolf (I hear Patriot Games has the goods on the Yips so far), and there is an upcoming Convergence at Dog Pile on Memorial Day Monday at 7 am.
PRAYERS: To Wildcat and his wife for their ongoing and new health struggles. To people everywhere with the upcoming summer vacation season and its unfortunate dangers. To people in RVA who enjoy Belle Isle (as inspired by last weekend’s RiverRock), where a recent kayaking death occurred.
