Last Call for Q School

/in /by

10 PAX for the final scheduled March 2024 Q school hosted at Downtown Train.

Sample structure for warm up with some discussion:
Disclaimer, warmup, workout (the thang), Mary, CoT – 45 mins total time, get a watch. Assign a sweeper if you have a large group of FNG’s.

Conduct WU and have guys take turns with exercises. SSH, Good Mornings, etc.

Be ready for CoT with announcements and prayer requests/praises

In Cadence On my Down

/in /by

The weather is finally starting to warm up but it was still a bit chilly this morning. We had a good turn out for the EC about 4 if I recall. I haven’t been out in a while for an F3 workout let alone Q the damn thing. So we warm up everything is fine. Mossyed over to the football field to do some erkins derkins and dips. As I start calling out the exercises and instructing how to follow me I ended up saying both ways “In cadence on my down”. It gave Woody a good laugh. Then I did it about two more times after that. Lol good times!

Warm Up:

  • Good mornings
  • Imperial Walker’s
  • Hill Billy’s
  • Sir Fazio Arm Circles
  • Mtn Climbers
  • Side Straddle Hop

The Workout:

  • erkins derkins and dips
  • Wall sits
  • 11’s – WW I’s & Air Squats

Mary:

  • Homer to Marge & pickle pounders

Death Row at PY (take 2)

/in /by

6 HIM showed up to Prison Yard. YHC had planned to finish the last Q at PY since we never completed it. Only this time we modified to 7’s instead of 11’s which was a great idea because we still barely finished. Inmates were begging to go back inside but they had to finish first.

Part Two:

7’s with crab walk (40-45 yds each way)
Reverse LBC IC and Turkish getups with 3x IC crab cakes in the middle on each pass.
Lap around clubhouse

7’s with bear crawl
Pickle pounders IC and Absolutions with 3 shoulder taps half way
Lap around clubhouse back to flag

Mary wasn’t allowed in the yard today.

Strong push men! Glad we got through that. Fram asked to shelf that one for a long time and I agree. We finished up with announcements and prayer.

Wheelbarrow 11’s…WTH?!?

/in /by

7 PAX and 1 HC no show for Prison Yard. Today’s goal was 3 sets of 11’s. Little did I know we would only get started on the 2nd round before time expired. YHC planted the flag and off we go at 0530.

Warm up
Good mornings x11
SSH’s x11
Arm circles x11
Seal claps x11
Overhead claps x11
Squats x11

Mosey to opposite side of clubhouse
11’s with partner wheelbarrows (take turns)
WWI’s on one end and burpees on the other. 3 dirkens at half way cone while in wheelbarrow position.
– Roughly 40 yds from end to end with a cone in the middle
(Modify to lunge walk after 5 rds each due to difficulty)

11’s with crab walk
Reverse LBC IC & Turkish getups with 3x IC crab cakes was the plan. We ended up doing half the distance with getups on one end and crab cakes on the other. Only made it 2 or 3 passes before time was up.

We finished up with a mosey around the clubhouse and back to the flag just past 45 mins.

Strong work to those who posted for this one. Cancun had to hit the showers early to practice soap dropping. Hopefully we will finish this one up the next time YHC has the Q at the Yard.
