THE PAX: Hooch, Glowplug, Tinder, Grylls, Kiffin

Total # of PAX: 5

QIC: Kiffin

INTRO:

YHC missed having cinder blocks at The Cheetah earlier this week.  YHC made sure there was plenty of stone work at Stoneclad today.  This is YHC’s first Q at Stoneclad, so I was a little excited by the prospects.  On the other hand, with the off week, would there be more than just Hooch and I?  5 PAX rolled in to get better and stronger today so we were ready.

WARM-O-RAMA:

We circled up (no mosey) for SSH, Weed Pickers, hand walk into plank, Sun Gods (OYO), Michael Phelps (OYO).

THE THANG:

Blockorama

YHC had setup 5 cinder blocks a strategic distance from the concession entrance.  First exercise of the day will be Bears and Blocks (Get on all fours, like a bear crawl with block between your feet.  Reach back and pull block up past your head.  Now bear crawl up until the block is between your feet and repeat).  Crawl over to the entrance of concession stand and carry block over and do 50 dips with block in your lap.  Cusak back to the start and perform Colt 45 with the block.  Rinse and repeat with a goal of 10 rounds.  Due to time we had to stop at 7 rounds.  YHC did not want the loyal PAX to miss the rest of Blockorama.

Next up was Block Brigade Circle (Circle up with only 2 block in the circle of 5. pass the block to the right quickly.  When Q call reverse and then change direction).  We did a few rounds of this back and forth then changed to over head to up the challenge.  That was a nice recovery exercise now on to more fun.

Blockbarrows are up next.  Partner up and the PAX on the ground drags the block as the wheelbarrow.  We went 4 parking lanes switched partners and back.  Rinse and repeat.  That made the PAX grown a bit, but still seemed like they enjoyed it.

Now we are ready for Wonderbra back at the concession stand (Wall sit with block and IC overhead press following by press out using 4 count).  We were able to get 3 rounds of 5 before getting up to recover.  T-Claps to Grylls for picking up count when YHC’s block slipped on a press out.

Finally time for a very anticipated (by YHC only of course) Block Webbs.  Much like the traditional Jack Webbs except we did a 4 count Merkins (Hands on the block) and a 1 to 2 ratio instead of 1 to 4.  We rotated between Block Presses and Block Upright Rows… wanted to spend more time here and get the numbers much higher but time was evaporating.

Just enough time to get in a few Mary’s, with blocks of course.  Flutter Kicks with Blocks over head, Hooch called laying on the block and holding Starfish position, and Dolly’s with block held straight out from head,  just above the ground.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

We were all spent and had a sitting (on blocks) count and name-o-rama.

Briefly spoke about the need for all of us to stand together and not go things alone (Locking Shields).  This prompted Grylls and Tinder to share that they only posted because they saw each other at the pool yesterday and said they would.  Accountability and posting for the man beside you…  great stuff

Continued prayers for Glowplug’s friends that are being impacted by cancer… God’s will be done there and His Glory shine.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

T-Claps to Hooch for the constant encouragement to the PAX.  We kid with him about being Hallmark Hooch, but his thoughtful words are and inspiration to many.  Good job, Brother!
