Tag: Bermuda Triangle

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 started out with the usual warmup

I’ll probably ask you to bring a dish since it looks like we’re going to have a good turnout. Let’s do this!

FSU football’s head coach Mike Norvell has a theme for his team called “The Climb”. He inherited a 5-7 team that had been on a slide downward for several years. He’ll often tell his team and coaches to “Keep Climbin” while they work on their weaknesses to get better each day. That’s what we did today at Bermuda, literally and metaphorically :
