August’s Community Q

Warmarama- SSH, Arm Circles, WMH, Michael Phelps, Bushwackers

The Thang: Spooky led us in Killer Bees, Bunny hops up and down big hill with after 5 hops, one burpee on the hill and a burpee at the top before bear crawling back down the hill, we did 3 sets of those

Nacho Libre- guided us over to the open area for a bear merkin crawl, with the fourth step in the bear crawl was a merkin

Rebar- wanted to do traveling burpees so we did those back across the grassy knoll

Madden- wanted us to do some frog jumps and squats

Back to the blocks

Bright Idea had a bright idea to make up an exercise we are calling the Imperial Blockers, imagine the Imperial Walkers while holding a block overhead. We did 15 of those.

Monty Cristo wanted to get in some curls- so we did a set of 20 single counts.

Next was Flapjacks turn…. he is a rarity in the paradise PAX but we were so happy to have him and he decided to bring some heat when it was his turn. We took the blocks on a journey down the parking lot via some overhead carries much like his waitstaff carrying through his often crowded restaurants. We stopped and did some goblet squats much like Maraschino has to do after a full belly of Hawthorne and Wood. Our restaurant work wasn’t over. We had another set of block carries and this time Rambler had to take his kids to the pool after visiting the Bluebird and did some more goblet squats. Flapjacks turn was over for now but he thinks this community q should be called the communist q. I disagree but he is the chef and he served up some tasty work during this leg of the workout.

Not to be outdone, our time with the blocks was coming to a close and Vice had a few tricks up his sleeve. We did the gorilla bar crawl curls back up the hill. We stopped and did 10 Blockies OYO. Then we did some farmer carry up back to the block storage area but before we put those away we did 15 Arnolds.

Spooky then led us through 3 series of some Bernie Sanders and Merkins and RYAOs.

Madden then led us through 15 Australian merkins on the bike racks. He wanted to do some block pulls across the pavement but I missed that request until after we put the blocks away. He was happy to lead us through these.

Nacho Libre then led us in a 10 count of balls to the wall.

Bright Idea then called out a 10 count of People’s Communist Chair of China.

Monty Cristo called out a Bernie Sanders back to the AO.

Time for Mary: Flapjack led us in 20 box cutters.

Rebar led us in 26 LBCs in cadence. Not sure why 26 but I forgot to ask him.

YHC led us in 10 dying cockroaches in cadence.

COT: Uzi, Maraschino, Shark Tank and Rambler are all dealing with some type of injury or set back and so they still came out and participated but went through some rubber band and stretching/ Injury reserve type of workout. Monty Cristo has surgery hopefully sometime next week. Let’s continue to lift each other up and remember all the teachers and students as they come back to school that we will all have a safe start to the school year.
