Q school 2020 KickOff

/in , /by

Mutiny would be the Q school kick off for 2020. We want to try to offer Q school a lot this year and the best way to do that would be to do it during a workout. This was the first attempt to get all points across while still providing a valid workout. Overall it went pretty well for the first go at it. Here are some details to the action.

FNGs: Welcome Pumps!

Quick Overview:
Plant the flag. Site Q’s responsibility
Any FNG’s. 1-2 mins prior to start
Know your PAX. Who needs encouragement. Don’t leave anyone behind. Start on time 0530. End on time 45 mins end workout. Then COT. People can leave if needed at that time. During workouts, respect the Q. If Q needs correcting, do it after the workout. No questions asked today so I guess the PAX got it all. We can have high expectations moving forward with this group of HIM.

Warm Up:
Warm up exercises, try to mix it up. Static stretches should be avoided and Dynamic stretching is recommended.
Short mosey to circle
SSH – cadence count, how to call and how to end
Not too fast
Windmill (give instruction)
Merkins (teach good form)
Daisy Pickers (slow and what the exercise is for)

The Workout:
Choose a few main events and execute
Bearmuda Triangle
1- plank jacks x20IC
2- hand release merkins x20 OMD
3- prisoner squat x20 on my down

R&R
1- Mtn. Climbers x20IC
2- Diamond Merkins x15 on my down
3- Monkey Humpers x15IC

Tennis courts
11’s – common go to or a Dora can be used if more material is needed
Bobby Hurley’s and Burpees
Squat hold or plank hold for 6
5 Burpees OYO for good measure

Improv due to time.
Fence walk ups x10IC

Mary:
Mary – 6 mins is great for core workout. Stretching works as well.
End at 45 mins or sooner.
DO NOT GO OVER 45
WWI x20 OMU
WWII x10IC
– Know the difference between each
J-Lo 1 x10 each side (IC slow 4 count on all fours)
J-Lo 2 x15 IC (Hip touch’s)
LBC’s x10IC (ankles above knees)
Reverse LBCs x10IC
HAND

COT:
Name-a-Rama
Announcements
Prayers *Either ask PAX to volunteer or take us out in a word*

Try to meet and great anyone new or new to you. Get to know your PAX of brothers.

Announcements:
Travis Manion foundation event
Krispy Kreme race on Sat
Super Bowl squares (16-bit is in charge)

T-Claps (Recognition):
Puddles EH’ed FNG from before moving. His nephew, finally got him out.

Prayer:
Sprinkle lost dad
Breach grandmother passing
R22’s wife lost her cousin
PAX on IR
H1N1 having more tests on injury

Thanks to the PAX for allowing me to use this time to conduct Q school while working out. Any feedback is always appreciated. Holly Springs AO will be next on the schedule.

3 Year Mixed Bag

/in /by

Drove in to see Pablo doing a solo EC run before the workout, nicely done!

FNGs: Nope

3 Years ago on this day, Tonka picked me up and treated me to a workout Q’d by none other than Midget at Disney.  It sucked.  I did every rep of the first set and was quite proud of myself, until I realized we were 10 minutes in to a 45 minute workout and I was quite done.  Sometime in the next 15 minutes as we were doing repeats on the stairs, Midget tapped me on the shoulder and told me to just wait at the top for everyone.  I think he was afraid I was going to fall out and hurt myself going up/down the stairs.  I also think he was right to be afraid of that.

It’s been a great 3 years.  One of my fond memories was training for my first HSHM.  That year, we did hill repeats & track workouts on alternating Wednesdays (“Speed Racer” was the AO) led by Pilgrim, Bernie, and Wrangler.  As a little homage, I brought out one of those workouts for this morning.

The Workout:

There was a lot going on this morning.  The Fritter Goobers + POTS went on a Ruck.  Not sure how far they went.  At some point they stopped for refreshments.  I’ll let them tell that story.

Double D was hoping for just miles, so Mookie mapped out a nice 4-5 mile route for him and he took off solo.

Forceps missed his alarm, but made it for COT & 2ndF 🙂

The rest of us did hill repeats on Stinson.  Starting at the bottom of the hill stop sign:

  • Run hard to Ivan parking lot; recover back to stop sign
  • Run hard to Cletus parking lot; recover back to stop sign
  • Run hard to Grigsby stop sign; recover back
  • Hard to Grigsby; recover
  • Hard to Cletus; recover
  • Hard to Ivan; recover

If you did the whole thing, it was right at 6 miles.

Mary: Pfft
Announcements:

Awesome COT after the run.  One of the best I’ve ever been at.   Too often it’s just “name / age / f3 name; quick announcement; let’s go”.  This morning we actually talked a bit about what we’re doing and why.  I really appreciated the time.
T-Claps (Recognition):  Oboe was a man on a mission this morning.  Awesome job beating down those hills.
Prayer: Running the hills made me think of a Pax I haven’t seen in a long time who used to be out there for these workouts — Princess Cut.  I know life hit him pretty hard for a while.  I wasn’t close enough with him to be there to help, but I know I miss him out in the gloom.  It made me appreciate what we’re doing with the Shield Lock even more.

Thanks for a great 3 years men, looking forward to the next 3.

Cletus gets a UTI (╬ ಠ益ಠ)

/in , /by

It’s been a spell since Yogurt EH’d me for this Q.  I want to thank him for bringing me this opportunity.  I’m again very humbled by the turnout today.  Whether it was for me specifically or Cletus was just the place you wanted to spend your Friday in the gloom – I thank you.  So close to Christmas with all of the things I know we collectively have going on, it is awesome to share the morning with you guys.  I feel humbled to have been the Q this morning and to witness it.  I hope you got your money’s worth.  The year isnt over yet!!!  SYITG <3 UTI

Great 2nd F at Harvest Moon today guys!

There was a plan. Was.

/in /by

YHC had mentally put together a workout.  It required multiple teams of 3 and my biggest stumbling point when mentally preparing the night before was trying to figure out how to address a 2 man team or an extra PAX.  This seemed totally doable as Possum Trot regularly has 10-15 dudes show up.  5.  We had 5 this morning.  Don’t get me wrong, I was absolutely grateful for the 4 HIM that showed up this morning and wouldn’t trade them for the world, but it threw a wrench in what was already a thinly put together plan.  Oh well, time to practice was we preach and modify as needed.

FNGs: Nope
Warm Up:

Good mornings x10 IC

SSH x20 IC

Moroccan Night Clubs x10 IC

Squated overhead claps x10 IC

Squated seal claps x10 IC

The Workout:

So the original plan was to do a 3-man team Dora with a PAX on either side of the parking lot and the 3rd partner bear crawling and/or crab walking with a rock in between the other two and having it be a bit of a relay.  This did not happen.

What did happen:

We moseyed to the rock pile to get a rock and then headed over to the top of the road leading down to the ball fields.  Two groups of 2 PAX grouped up at for a standard Dora (100 merkins, 200 LBC, 300 squats), with YHC being solo.  While one partner started on the exercises the other was bear crawling and pushing their down to the not-so-portable Port-A-R4TJ.  Once said commode was reached they would flip over, put rock on “rocks” and crab walk back up to their partner.  Cycle through this until both groups completed their full set.

Along with the original plan calling for 3-man teams YHC also planned to increase the number of reps of each exercise to accommodate for the larger group.  Again, with smaller numbers we finished sooner than expected so I had to think on the fly.  Or, as was the case today, steal from Forceps.  PAX circled up with their rocks, rotation one rock to the left after each exercise, doing two rounds of:

10x curls for the girls

10x tricep extension (or, if you’re Breach, tris for the guys)

10x rut rows

10x bus drivers

10x chest press

10x dead lift

Afterwards we returned the rocks and headed to the wall on the tennis courts for BTTW -> People’s chair -> BTTW -> People’s chair.  The PAX took turns counting to 10 in as many languages (both real and made up) as they could.  Breach tried to get creative and do an IC 10 count doing mountain climbers but YHC and his weigh vest wanted nothing to do with that and cut him off at 5.

Mary:

Circle up for:

15x American Hammers

10x Australian Snow Angles

15x Low slow flutter

10x Freddie Mercury

Announcements:

Frosty CSAUP on Saturday

Christmas party next weekend

Q sheet looks bare (at least for PT) .  Being with a group that has Q’d often I encouraged them to get other PAX to spread their wings and sign up to Q and fill in the sheet.  It’s getting in to the cold months were numbers dwindle so having folks come out and VQ will always draw a bigger crowd.

Prayer:

Wallaby and his family.  Pablo is trying to set up time to go over and help put up their Christmas lights.  Check the #3rdF channel in Slack or reach out to him directly for details.  There is also a meal train set up for the family.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090c44aaab23a7f58-hanlon

The time around the holidays can be hard for some folks.  We often times think of it as a joyous time, as it should be, but others struggle to get through these times for any number of reasons.  Reach out to your fellow PAX that you haven’t seen in a while, or a friend or a neighbor, and check in with them and see how they’re doing.  You never know what someone is going through.
