Q school 2020 KickOff

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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

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)

FNGs:22-Pax.  2- 2.0 FNGs Dark wing Duck & Lasso
Warm Up:Plant the flag and unload trucks
The Workout:  Paint a garage(food shelter), fill pot holes in driveway.  As the pax arrived we started handing out rollers and paint trays.  A few pax started by sanding and wiping cob webs from the building while the 2.0s began painting in an organized fashion. Ha.  Once we got rolling everything became red. The building, kids, faces, my ride. Once the backhoe showed up with gravel, we lost a lot of 2.0s to spreading rocks but we pushed through.  We got 2 coats of paint on and filled the pot holes. The Girl Scout cookies were opened thanks to Tetanus, and the kids devoured them. We finished painting around 11:15 cleaned up and went to chick fil a for 2ndf.  It was great to see everyone out there and the 2.0s getting some work in.  Thanks everyone for making this successful.

Announcements: help snap move his office, holly springs food cupboard 3rdf event next weekend.

Throwback 5 – Day 4 – Disney

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Throwback 5 appears to be working just as planned.  End the decade and start a new one with 5 convergences at the “Original 5” Southwake AOs.  Today was Disney’s turn.  YHC turned to Kid Cracker to co-Q with me as we were the Site’s initial Qs.  I always loved Q-ing with Kid Cracker as there would be diversity in the body parts worked and lots of good mumblechatter.

It was a cloudy, 37 degree Thursday morning as YHC approached a gathering crowd in the Middle Creek Park parking lot.  The glows of at least one (Redenbacher) Pax member finishing EC could be seen.  The original Southwake Shovel Flag was planted, fists were bumped and Kid Cracker got us going!

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Short fellowship jog (0.33 miles) around the dark soccer field – we continued this mosey to the small parking lot adjacent to the baseball field house – where we circled up

  • SSH x 20 I.C.
  • Good Morning x 20 I.C.
  • Downward Dog (left and right rocking)
  • Runners pose stretching (Left and Right)
  • Pigeon pose stretching (Left and Right)
  • on your feet to mosey to the High School student parking lot – Pax instructed to partner up on the run

The Workout:

Round 1:  Kid Cracker

  • Partner1 partner carry Partner2 the long distance up the hill in the parking lot.  Resting or alternating as needed
  • Disclaimer was issued by Kid Cracker “if you have back problems, knee problems or are on your (menstrual) cycle – you can lunge walk”  Classic 🙂
  • Alternative to partner carry was lunge walk half way then catch up on the run
  • At top of hill series of exercises were done (too gassed to remember)
  • Mosey back to bottom of the hill
  • Rince and repeat with alternating pax member
  • Fellowship run back to the park toward the Abyss (7 flights of stairs)

Round 2:  Deadbolt

  • Keep your partner – half the partners would go to bottom of the stair (but stay with your partners) and half stay up top
  • DORA with runners going up/down the stairs.  The DORA was
    • 100 Merkin
    • 200 LBC
    • 300 Squats
    • Ab exercises until the 6 gets up
  • Clockwise and Counterclockwise Indian runs (50-50 split) from the Abyss to the concrete area at the bottom on the half pipe
  • Jailbreak to Flag for Mary

Mary:  Alternating Abs by your Co-Qs

  • American Hammers x 20
  • Exaggerated Low Slow Flutter x 20
  • Freddy Merc x 20
