Event Date

Aug 30, 2016


Six of the 28216's finest made it out on a cool morning to help both refine and redefine the definition of Natastrophe.

Warm-o-Rama

– High Knees, Butt Kicks, SSHx25, Toy Soldier, Cherry Pickers, Mercans

The Thang

Six cinder block pain stations followed by a lap around the parking lot

First set

  • Bent over hockey stick rows (one cinder at each end of hockey stick)

  • Alternating mercans on each side of cinder whilst one hand remains on the cinder

  • Cinder swing (or kettle bell swing with cinders)

  • Squats with over the shoulder press with cinder

  • Gun show cinder curls

  • Jerk and press with cinders (alternating sides)

  • Pax runs one lap around parking lot together

Second set – Repeato of the first set

Third set

  • Incline mercans (using hockey stick between two upright cinders)

  • Upright row with cinder

  • Skull crushers with cinder

  • Bent over back shoulder flies (with bricks)

  • Deadlift with cinder

  • Front shoulder raises (with bricks)

  • Pax runs one lap around parking lot together

Fourth set – Repeato of the first set

Mary

– WWII sit-ups with feet nestled in cinder holes

– Mason twist while holding cinder

– Ab ups, with legs in air and cinder in hands (is this a thing?)

Moleskine

  • Q may need to distribute pre-blast earlier, as few of the Pax showed up unaware of lexicon to be defined and lacking any gloves. Nice recovery tho.

  • Thanks for Arizona tagging in with the chalk to add some semblance of order to the proposed routine

  • To that end, Arizona may have had a previous career doing sidewalk chalk graffiti at the beach (his gun rendering for the Gun Show station was NRA lifelike)

  • It was a good choice to use gang neutral pastel sidewalk chalk colors with CMS being back in session

  • The last ab exercise (that may or may not have been a thing) either helped to work the core or the feeling could just have been heartburn

  • Brevard comes highly recommended as a place for camping and chasing waterfalls regardless of TLC’s pop music advice of not pursuing that type of activity

  • The alternating mercans on each side of the cinder was a nice addition to the cinder block routine.We may just see that one again.

  • 911 channeled his inner Oktoberfest on the alternating side cinder mercans with the suggestion to just do 5 on each side and then switch sides

  • Happy belated birthday to Double Double

  • Speaking of previous careers, Grip apparently spent some time working at Red Robin heading up their spirit committee.

  • The Canadian hockey stick is still pretty sturdy after 25 years of limited to no use

  • This will come as a surprise to nobody, but Q manages to have fun in just about anything he endeavors. That being said, this shat is really fun

  • And that, my friends, was a fine demonstration of a complete and utter Natastrophe
