A while back, fellow Virgo, Brotox, signed us up for a Birthday Q at the one and only Paradise. Alas, Brotox had to renege as he’s in Italy, most likely wearing fancy shoes, sipping espressos, and gallivanting about the country on a Vespa and yelling “Ciao” at random strangers. And so, alas alas, the Paradise crew got saddled with a solo Chum Q.

Warm Up – Typical Stuff

Main Event
Elevenses with Bricks. 10 of one exercise and one of the other. Then, 9 of one exercise and two of the other. So on and so forth, down to one and 10. Combined sum always equals eleven.
• Brickees and Bus Drivers.
Brickee: Like a Blockee, but with bricks. Hold brick in each hand. Drop down and do a burpee on the bricks. Upon return to standing, overhead press bricks.
Bus Driver: Hold bricks out in front and rotate arms back and forth as if you were turning a steering wheel. [Editor’s note: these suck]. Brickees = SC, Bus Drivers = IC.
• Nutcrackers and Sit-Ups with Brick.
Nutcracker: Fresh from the Lexicon, thanks to Rambler – With a brick in each hand held overhead, perform a lunge. At the same time, lower the arms and bring the bricks together between the legs. Return to the standing position, raising the bricks back overhead. 1 rep equals lunge with both legs. Thanks to TPS Reports for his smooth rhythm and helping us get these to a hypnotizing cadence.
Sit Ups with Brick: Hold brick in each hand and extend arms straight out. Do a sit-up.
• Merkins and Overhead Press.
Merkins with hands on bricks; single count.
Overhead Press = OHP with brick in each hand; single count.

Shits & Gigs
Petri Dish (courtesy of Petri): Lay flat on your stomach, Superman-style. Extend arms straight forward. Raise hands x 10. Rotate arms out to side (i.e., 3 and 9 o’clock). Raise hands x 10. Rotate arms back so that hands are by your hips. Raise your hands x 10. Then ‘clap’ hands, moving hands from hips to out in front of your head x 10.

COT/BOM
Grateful as always for the opportunity and for the support. Prayers for the family and loved ones of a friend of Nacho’s as they deal with loss. You can never be fully sure of what someone may be going through. So, be nice. Be kind. Be good. Make a positive impact. Today is a good day to make it a great day.
