Heroes

Event Date

Oct 23, 2018


Six heroic dudes came to the Quarry on a refreshing 44 degree morning to act like Heroes. Unbeknownst to them at the time of their arrival, there was a surprise musical guest in store for them. 

Warm-o-Rama

Front skip, backwards skip, karaoka x2 (there was some contact), SSH, TS, Windmill and Cherry Pickers

The Thang

Mosey to back lot. Take one lap around track to maintain covert operation. Nothing says Heroes quite like The Murph. We did 10 sets of the following:

  • 10 pull-ups OYO

  • 10 ‘mericans I/C (20 total per set)

  • 15 squats I/C (30 total per set)

For a grand total over the 10 sets of 100 pull-ups, 200 ‘mericans and 300 squats.

Mary

Mosey to ab station

  • Ankle ups, High flutter, Low flutter, Low dolly – Natty Lite

  • Plank platter – El Tigre

  • Mason Twist – Arizona

Moleskine

  • There was an aggressive and unprovoked act during the warm-up. The story that was relayed was that during the karaoka transition, Grip made an aggressive act towards Sparty that included a sweep of the leg and asphalt introduction. There was subsequent discussion of Sparty calling “The Hurt Line” personal injury lawyers, and Q expressing concern that he could also be at risk of litigation since he failed to share the propoer disclaimer at the beginning of workout

  • Windmill exercises make Q think of Holland and therefore the “plug the dyke” comment made during this exercise now makes perfect sense

  • Best food at the NC State Fair was a “shrimp and cheese grits eggroll”. Giddyup

  • Today’s special and surprise musical guest – Musical Youth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFtLONl4cNc

  • The song “Pass The Dutchie” was the band's first release on a major label. The track combined two songs: "Gimme the Music" by U Brown, and "Pass the Kouchie" by Mighty Diamonds, which deals with the recreational use of cannabis (kouchie being slang for a cannabis pipe). For the cover version, the song's title was bowdlerized to "Pass the Dutchie", the new word being a slang term for a cooking pot. All obvious drug references were removed from the lyrics; e.g., when the original croons "How does it feel when you got no herb?", the cover version refers to "food" instead. "Dutchie" has since become a drug reference, denoting a blunt stuffed with marijuana and rolled in a wrapper from a Dutch Masters cigar, since American and British listeners assumed that the term was a drug reference.

  • In keeping with this impromptu theme, we Passed the Dutchie to the left hand side a bunch of times to rotate the counting duties on the Murph and Mary

  • How does it feel when you got no food?

  • I submit this as definitive empirical proof that you truly never quite know where we are gonna start nor end up during these workouts

  • Sparty plans to send us a picture from his vacation in a neon Lake Havasu tank top a la spring break style

  • Profound question – If nobody shows up for a Saturday workout, and there is no back-blast proof, did the workout really even happen?

  • Shouldn’t you guys be tapering?

  • Circle time started without the dirty philistine (err, Philippine) in the circle

  • Did you ever know that you’re my hero? You are all heroes in my book

  • Great work men!
