2 rounds

Erkins / Derkins & Dips

As we over by the half wall doing erkins derkins and dips the mumble chatter started and Nemo got to talking about the cicada’s that are all over our neighborhood. He thought it was some of the construction trucks near by the cicads were so loud! I have to admit these cicada’s are pretty loud. Next, Gizmo chimes in with “you know The View said that Lunar Eclipse has something to do with the 2 different types of cicada’s that are emerging from the ground” I didn’t think to much of it besides the fact that it’s a weird coincidence.

Nemo quickly said, “On a side note, how long have you been watching The View Gizmo?”  We all lost it and had a good laugh.

In Cadence On my Down

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

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

Q School: Session 2

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

12 PAX came out to Cletus for some edumucation. Here’s what happened.

Discussion:
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.

Review during workout:
Cadence Count
Form and rep count
Know your PAX limitations if possible
Site Q duties
Q sheet, pre-blast, backblast
Exicon, backblast from other regions, winky, Co-Q

Be ready for CoT with announcements and prayer requests/praises

Thang 1: Dora  – 50 pull ups, 100 Bobby Hurleys, 150 shoulder taps with lunge walk timer
Mary
WWI’s
Pretzels
Heels to Heaven
Windshield wipers

Thanks for coming out men!
