10 PAX for the final scheduled March 2024 Q school hosted at Downtown Train.
Why Q school? This is to help with F3 formality (uniform) across all regions so if you attend an AO in New York or Texas it’ll still be close to the same structure.
3 main topics to cover – How to Q? Why to Q? (new exciting things) Are you ready to Q?
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.
Bring a Flag if you plan to Q. If you don’t have one, ask site Q to bring one.
Conduct WU and have guys take turns with exercises. SSH, Good Mornings, etc.
Be ready for CoT with announcements and prayer requests/praises

Warm Up:
Mosey from flag to corner of lot, circle up
SSH x 25 IC
Good mornings x 10 IC
Sir Fazio Arm Circles x 10 IC F/R
Seal Claps x 10 IC
Willie Mays Hays x 10 IC
Moroccan Night Clubs x 10 IC
The Workout:
THANG 1:
PAX moseyed to far end of lot to the dead end area. PAX partnered up and completed a partner DORA consisting of 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, and 300 LBC. Partner 1 completed exercises while Partner 2 ran to the flag and back, switch it up until done. Strong work by all PAX here picking up the 6/finishing together.
THANG 2:
Mosey to side wall of the church, where we did two rounds of people’s chair and chillcutt plank holds. The first round we did 10 count each PAX, 2nd round we did 20 count each PAX thanks to some poorly timed jokes from Hasselhoff and Downrange – bet they won’t do that again. 🙂
THANG 3:
PAX moseyed back to area where we completed our warmup. We completed a round of Guantanamo (PAX lay down side by side, all raise legs to 30 degrees, PAX at the end of the line gets up and goes down the line pushing down the other PAXs feet while they attempt to not let their heels hit the ground).
YHC then tried to call something that I’ve never done before and probably isn’t in the F3 exicon. I had the PAX flip over into standard plank, and much like Guantanamo, I had the PAX at the end of the line to down the line and try to push down on each PAX back while they maintained plank. After a few PAX went down the line, Best in Show made a suggestion to stop before we hurt someone’s back…that was definitely the right call so we switched to having the PAX at the end of the line slap hands with the PAX doing planks as they ran by. Think 1996 Bulls theme music here…so if I had to name that revised exercise, I’d call it “Sirius” named after the Bulls theme song. If you’ve never heard it or have no idea what I’m talking about, watch this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HYj-uV9NGc
