NMMS : Great to see Broadway at Bermuda today after his post at Rock N Roll a couple weeks ago. Also great to see House Party make the trek today. It’s encouraging to start to see the growth of this AO. We now have 6 PAX who live in Chester : Broadway, Mr. Kimble, Preach, State Farm, Posh, and Shaw-Shank. Mudslide and YHC live very close to Chester also. If we had Big Rig and Shaw-Shank today then we would have had 10 PAX which is a good goal going forward if the stars align and we can all make it. Have a great day and rest of your week brothers!

Six men woke up out of their fart sacks to enter the gloom of the Bearmuda Triangle and found themselves Bear Crawling trying to make it home but ended back to the same base they started from! ?

How it all began with Don Quixotes who entered into the Helicopter crashing down to LBCs and had to American Hammer they’re way out!

The six men found themselves in a steep hill and had to challenge themselves to crabwalk up which a burbee stumbled the back down to tag there partner which was stuck doing some Merkins which took 3 times to finally make it all up the hill.

The storm started to get rough and that’s when we ran into the Bearmuda Triangle…(back to beginning) Bear crawling to where they thought it would be safe they mosey’d on to an island which each person with a partner managed to lunge along side its perimeter while the other looked for help and found none to return back to have his partner give it a try until they got to the end of the island.

Into the woods we went trying a different tactic switching partners one ran to find help again but again found none to return to his partner bear crawiling and others crab walking under brushes switching positions until they got to the corner of the woods.

At the corner there was a body of water so we had to make a bridge across the creek so everyone lined up to a plank position while the other did an Over/Under repeatedly until they made it across.

Almost at the end of their journey they decided to do a workout!!! Partner leg tosses out of all things!

We saw a flag from a distance which signaled our circle of trust! No man was left behind… End of story! (Or is it)

I do want to add while this was a tough workout it was a lot of fun!

7 strong, including an FNG at the latest round of the Bermuda Triangle! The fellas were ready to put in some work today. A brief summary for your viewing pleasure…….

Final thoughts:

It was awesome hanging with the Triangle Mafia this morning. Big welcome to Mr. Kimble, who is a friend of Preach. He had a great debut – keep posting! Big Rig is so strong that he broke the parachute.

SYITG

5 Bballers showed up for a Big Rig Beatdown at Goyne Park in Chester. It was Mudslide’s first time at this AO and I believe he was pretty impressed and he didn’t even get to see half of it. Here’s what YHC had in store for them.

Start out at the basketball court where the school left out the basketballs.

Warmup right into the workout.

Started out with high knee kicks(not sure what else to call them)

SSH, Don Quyotes, Helicopters,

LBCs In Cadence, regular, one leg out, both legs out,

American Hammers

Heel touchers

Merkins

Mosey over to the playground for some abs for running. I got some funny looks when I said something about this before we started.

A Dora. Partner up, YHC flew solo.

Each team would complete the following while the partner ran to the transformer and back.

100 hanging leg raises

200 Toe taps

300 Imperial walkers

I call this Abs for running because the legs get heavy on long runs and this helps strengthen those muscles.

Mosey back to the basketball court for a few games of knockout. Pretty sure most everyone played this in gym class. 2 basketballs, line up at the free throw 1st person shoots, then the second. If the second person makes it before the first, the first one is knocked out. Once you are knocked out you have to do 10 burpees. Winner gets to pick an exercise for everyone to do. Florence won the first 2, and I think State Farm won the 3rd.

Stay on the court for a couple rounds of Suicides.

Mosey back to the flag for some curb dips (chair) and Carolina Dry Docks x2 In Cadence

Mudslide led us with a couple minutes of Broga.

Names and numbers. Check Slack for announcements.

YHC took us out.

Got to the AO, last minute audible on who’s gonna be the Q.

Went to insert my shovel flag into the ground, and with all my mighty strength, I snapped my shovel flag in half… either that or I bought the cheapest shovel I could find.

3 hard chargers showed up for a make it up as you go Q session.

Mosey to the basketball court.

Warm up:Side straddle hops, Don Quixote’s, imperial walkers, super Mario jumps, karaoke

Mosey to the football field.

Four Corners: 10 burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 jump squats, 40 flutter kicks, no prostitute style, there was a preacher with us, didn’t seem appropriate.

Florence’s Black Jack, Choose your own adventure style:

Black Jack, Still 1 rep on one side run 40 yards 20 rep on the other side, run back to the other side, working your way up to 20 on one side, and down to 1 on the other. The choose your own adventure part, each of us had the freedom to choose what workout we did when we got to each side. This work out is a great filler if you don’t have an extensive game plan.

Mosey back to the parking lot: few extra minutes left.

Ring of fire, 10 of our favorite Merkins

COT: No prayer requests

Special Thanks to State Farm and Preach with suggestions during this Q.

Looking forward to the summer, hoping the weather stays the way it is, and that I can hit as many AO’s as possible this summer.

5 hard charges gathered at the Bermuda Triangle to find that the parking lot was closed because of a repave. No worries, one benefit of being there at 5:30 in the morning is there is no one around to worry about where we park.

Mosey to the basketball court.

Imperial Walkers, Ukranian Soldiers, Cherry Pickers, Super Mario Jumps, Karaoke, Mercans, and WWII’s

Mosey to the football field.

4 work out stations,

Station 1 Side straddle hops

Station 2 Plank hand walk up to bench (I’m not sure what the name of the exercise it, but really works out the chest and back

Station 3 Tri-Cep dips

Station 5 20 squat jacks, and then run to station 1. Everybody rotates. X3

Intermission, Blue Falcon Mercans (this is a super top secret workout still in the Alpha phase. It has a few rough edges, but I think I got it ironed out for the next time I Q. So, if you’re interested in doing some blue falcon mercans, keep your eye out for my next Q)

Four Corners around the football field (No Prostitue style…)

Corner 1 10 Burpees

Corner 2 20 Mercans

Corner 3 30 WWII’s

Corner 4 50 Smurff Jacks

Moving on

Paddling the Canoe:
Indigenous American Hammers, with the hard charger in the rear doing lunges to the front.

Mosey back to where the cars were parked

extra few minutes, closed out with plank position, low plank position, Mercans, and WWII’s

COT

Drinks at Diamond Billard’s starting @ 5:30 pm on Friday June 10th

Prayer Requests:
Please keep Florences Father in your prayers as he is dealing with health issues

and Bigriggs Mother-in-Law who is having personal issues.

I haven’t done a Q for a while now, I forgot how much I enjoy doing it. My goal this summer is to visit more AO’s and work out with new groups/meet people I’ve only seen at CSUP/Convergence, and maybe do a few Q’s at different locations. If you haven’t done a Q yet, give some thought about doing it. I promise your first one will be messy, but you’ll get through it, learn from it, and have a great time doing it. Take care.

NMMS : It was one of those days…rainy, muggy, tired from convergence, fart sack felt nice….but YHC signed up to Q so I needed to get my rear end to the AO. Thankful for Big Rig’s presence and push this morning. I stole Gomer’s ab work out from the convergence yesterday if you couldn’t tell from this BB. Those one legged LBC’s sucked and really exposed an area that needs improvement in YHC’s core strength (Faceplant agreed). I will be using those again.

We only played the front 9

It was a 5some at the Bermuda Triangle at Goyne Park in Chester. YHC was thankful for the beautiful morning. We were missing a regular but had 2 newcomers to the Triangle. Here’s what happened.

We would do the following at each hole, running between each hole

1 1 Burpee
