I’ll admit, when the Gnarliest of Goats put out a request for a Q this morning, I procrastinated. I opted for a round of mini golf with the fam followed by dinner at Lancaster’s for a fantastic Father’s Day before rechecking Twitter to find no one else had made an offer. A bit begrudgingly, I offered to be his huckleberry.
But what a glorious morning in late June! Low humidity with a starting temp of 59° was enough to encourage 4 other HIMs including Lexi from F3 Cherokee in GA, visiting his sister. With no real plan, YHC opted to share the load by having everyone take turns adding to the workout.
We headed towards Talbots for a warmup sans SSH then moseyed to the corner at Townley and Birkdale Commons to get things started. I kicked things off with CDD x10 IC after which we ran to the next corner of the building. There Macarena called cadence for LBC followed by my CDDs. At the third corner, BelAir added Merkins followed by LBCs and CDD’s. At the 4th corner, Rocket joined claiming Jedi and DieHard were supposed to be here and added Mountain Climbers to the growing list of sets at each corner. When we returned to the original corner, Lexi shared Cherokee’s Copperhead Squat — similar to our slow, deep squat.
The set list continued to grow until we had just a few minutes left. At the peak of the workout, our list of exercises included:
- Monkey Humper
- SSH
- Lap around the building
- WWII
- Copperhead Squat
- Mountain Climber
- LBC
- Merkin
- CDD
With only a few minutes left, we sprinted back to cars with a circle back as often as needed to cover the six. Following a prayer which included special intentions for Stapler (dad’s passing) and Amen (2.0’s hospital visit), we headed to Starbucks where we met up with Jedi and the pax from Arnie’s for an ad lib #coffeeteria.
Moleskin
- Belair has cadence calling nailed down. And his preferred exercises continue to be merkins and SSH
- Die Hard gets credit for getting Rocket to post at Berean … despite not posting himself
- Macarena caught me off guard with a lap around the building where we found Lexi’s wheelhouse
- Lexi was visiting from Woodstock, GA and has a great story behind his name: apparently it was going to be “Lex Luther” due to his bald dome, but when the pax of Cherokee learned that his real name was Adam Hoar (a damn whore) they opted to turn it into a stripper name instead — Lexi. If you have an opportunity to hear his 1-minute bit about his “whoring family”, it’s well worth a listen!
