NMS – Welcome to Iron Maiden fka Daniel. Ahh the naming during a hot potato, when no one wanted to be Q for the day. Originally we were working with Belshazzar, which is another name for Daniel and also the name of an Iron Maiden song with a reference to the writing on the wall dream from the Old Testament. Shadrach, Meshach, or Abednego were also mentioned but that super great idea was met with groans, even though Shadrach is a Beastie Boys song. Daniels first concert with the USAF band was less than inspiring (for obvious reasons) and while his most memorable concert with the Foo Fighters and some promise with potential monikers Monkey Wrench, Everlong and My Hero but our musical depth was rather shallow today. Daniel likes Star Wars, and Chewbacca was offered, and we failed to come up with any good Star Trek names, even though Viger or Ferengi might have worked. Honey Roger seemed to have some interest from the PAX but is just dang strange – we are at our Rogers quota already.

Iron Maiden it is.

Get some!

A baker’s dozen posted to see what Fudd had in store for Hoedown today. Bodos offered refreshing breath to any takers (there were none) and we were off.

Mosey to the front of the school for COP:

SSH x 46

DQ’s x 10

Helicopters x 10

Dead Man Hang down to plank and then various yoga poses

Arm Circles

Flutter Kicks

Mosey to the Lindsay cul de sac, partner up. One partner runs to the top of the street while the other bear crawls. Switch and then take turns doing Bernie Sanders and then broad jump burpees until the team reaches the top.

Mosey to the alley on the side of the school for a triple check. Partner 1 does a wall sit, P2 does squats (with good form), and P3 runs to the front of the school around the lit up sign and back. Rinse and repeat until all 3 P’s have done 3 of each rotation.

Mosey to the bottom of the sloped asphalt next to the parking lot. Face down hill in plank and crawl bear up the hill by intervals called out by YHC, pausing to hold plank until the next interval, until all PAX reach the fence. Then do Heels to Heaven x 20.

Mosey back to the SF for Mary. Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

NMS:

Bodos spent the pre-workout time drinking coffee before popping in a stick of gum just prior to launch. He was kind enough to offer a stick to everyone else although no one partook. YHC would be concerned with aspirating that thing but still appreciate the gesture. Seeing Bodos with coffee was surprising given that after doing the same at a recent Spider Run, he promptly had the urge to take his morning constitutional. This instigated a convo about the best tasting coffee and Bodos apparently has the best brew pot in the world. When YHC admitted that he uses a $30 brew pot from WalMart, Bodos was aghast. Doozy mentioned that he had tried a high dollar pot at one time, which promptly broke, and he was back to the $30 special himself. This made YHC feel a little less shame, however thoughts of expensive coffee continue to dance through my head……we’ll see what Santa has in store at Christmas. Mumblechatter was fairly heavy today which is typical for a Fudd Q, and welcome as far as I’m concerned. If no one’s talking that’s kind of boring IMO. YHC attempted to challenge the PAX in proper form of various exercises, as well as trying to motivate the PAX to maximum effort during the last plank of the Mary session around the SF. At one point, YHC said, “Remember…..weakness is pain leaving the body” which prompted immediate corrections from Upchuck and Splinter. However, the PAX knew what YHC was getting at and appreciation is felt for their tolerance of the occasional mistake. Mumblechatter continued post workout on Slack as there were no merkins performed during today’s beatdown, which was intentional due to YHC’s shoulder PT which is ongoing. Methinks a solid beatdown was still experienced, although I would defer to the PAX that were there for their opinions.

As always, it was an honor and a privilege to lead today. Never lose hope boys, and never stop chasing the wabbit!

Fudd

Thank You for coming to my first Q everyone!

Started out this Monday with some new Hoedown guests that went out of there way to join us. Thanks for coming Fergie, Atilla and Mr. Rogers.

Started out with a short mosey to the circle for a standard warm up and lesson in counting.

Followed by a short mosey to a dead end then back to the circle parking lot for some fun leg work out 11’s.

Another mosey back to the bus loop for a wall sitting Triple check.

Then a mosey back to the parking lot for some duck walks and merkins.

Ending with a nice prayer from Fudd!

Ten men too legit to quit started a new week in the dark at Hoedown. Conditions were wet in the drizzle but the pax were dry in our hearts. Here’s what went down:

COP after a long mosey to the back office lot at 513 Forest Ave. COP which included the standard fare, ending in Merkin Jax 1:4 ratio : 1 merkin, 4 plank jax, 2 merkins, 8 plank jax, up to 5/20 and all the way back down. Mosey to middle Third parking lot.

Triple Check #1: P1 Block Thrusters // P2 American Hammers // Parter 3 run the lot

Triple Check #2: P1 Mountain Climbers // P2 Reverse Crunches // Partner 3 Murder Bunny across the lot and back. Mosey back to TES

11s: 10 Burpees. Bernie sanders up the slope. 1 WW2 with feet against fence. Continue with 9 and 2, and so forth. This proved to be difficult and painful.

Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

NMS: Prayers for Splinter’s dad today for his pacemaker procedure. Thanks guys for coming out in the wet!

Sixteen of the finest Pax anywhere came out to get the job done.

Mosey to the sea of asphalt for COP. There were an assortment of exercises including SSH, cherry pickers, Don Quixote, etc.

Number off into groups of three and off to the bus loop. Team one did step ups and essentric down-steps. Team two, the pacers, did 11’s (Bulgarian squats, Derkins). Team three did Lindsays (donkey kicks, box cutters). Everyone rotated through the three challenges.

Round 2 – Stair climbs, 3×8 jerkins (timer), and lunge walk.

BTTW and dualing chicken peckers followed by some Mary before launching into some Broga.

YHC took us out with a moment of silence.

12 Soggy Bottom Boys escaped from the chain gang of sweet slumber and set out in search of treasure. Set to the sounds of one of the greatest soundtracks ever did sung.

Big Rock Candy Mountain warmarama SSHs, rapid fire DQs, squats, cherry pickers, Imperial walkers, mirkins, LBCs, etc etc.

Men of Constant sorrow triple check, timer runs and the others do flutterkicks and squats.

Down to the river to pray with another triple check, timer bear crawls up the ramp and the others do plank jacks and WW2s until the sirens turned Senor Frog into a horny toad.

Bodos had a great story about the Chesterfield County Fair and an illusionist who made a girl named Dixie disappear. There was also a pig race involved. It was at this point that the Coen Brothers themed Q went off the rails.

It was decided to do A Great Pig Relay Race in honor of the new parking lot arrows. Teams of 3 bear crawled around the arrows while oinking with ferocity. A teacher pulled into the parking lot and parked right in the middle of the entire spectacle. And still, the race went on. A last minute push by Donald Rumproast to defeat Hilary Bacon in a repeat of the the 2016 Virginia state fair. YHC is clearly high on the hog.

Winning team only had to do clockwork mirkins while the others did clockwork burpees until we gave up. A little boat canoe to wrap it up.

Thanks for indulging YHC – good times were had and lots of laughs rang out. Gratitude to be out there with each other, working hard. The treasure was found – it was the good times we had along the way. Remember to keep on the sunny side of life.

11 Monday marauders started the week in the dark at Hoedown. Here’s what went down:

COP in the first Third Church parking lot: standard fare. Mosey to the other side of the church to the Loop Lot.

Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

NMS: Wanted to grind the pax as we all get back to the grind of the fall routines. Took this one out of the Hutton-exicon with a few small changes. No one got through all 10 exercises, thus the 10 burpee requirement at the end. Prayers for students and teachers heading back to the school today!

How does one ensure they will not fartsack on a Monday you ask? Sign up for the open Hoedown Q. 5 studs of Tuckahoe got their week started with an early morning sweatfest. This is how things went down according to the runner in Christmas lights shouting at the passing PAX.

Mosey to church VIP lot for introductions, signing of waivers and brief description of what we are doing. Warmups included SSH, Helis, DQ’s, Copperhead Squats, HR Merkins and Freddie Mercuries. All seemed loose with the sweat flowing, so lets begin.

COP 1: Mosey to the parking lot edge for 11’s. Jump Squats and Merkins were the exercise of choice.

COP 2: Mosey to the commoners church parking lot to grab some prearranged coupons. Quintuple Check ensued. Timer runs the loop, everyone else in on the blocks with swings, squat thrusts, curls for the ladies and chest press. 3 rounds were a plenty. Return the coupons to the wilderness and lunge walk to the road.

COP 3: Mosey to the grassy fields of TES for a triple check. Timer runs to the monkey bars and performs 10 knee raises. Partner does Balls to the Wall (modified to LBC’s after 1st round) and Hoedowns. 3 rounds completed. BTTVF.

Numbers, Names, Announcements Prayers

Announcements: Pickleball tourney in 2 weeks at Batteau, see Oysters post for promotional material. Bring your headlamp and your rascal scooter. Orthopedic pillows and prune juice will be provided. Roger Roger is looking for a partner.

Senor Frog has scheduled his exam at the advise of Upchuck. If you are of age, get checked fellas.

NMS: Great to be back at Hoedown. For 3 weeks YHC has planned to come out but the Monday morning fartsack is a tough cookie to break, so YHC took to open Q to ensure attendance. Great mumble chatter about weekend travels, day drinking, summer ending and real estate. Good luck to all those students and teachers heading back to school this week. Great work today fellas.
