8 Dark Knights conquered the Dragon at the Nest

PAX:  @Firstblood, @Haggis, @K I T T Y L I T T R, @Rico, @H1N1, @Griswold @Enough, @Finkle

Q Extraordinare: @Finkle

Event 1: Batman’s -> a fantastic way to kick off.  We did a short little mosey around the park and stopped at the brick wall behind the dugouts. Started with 50 bat wings, 10 sec hold x8 of balls to the wall, 50 overhead claps, 10 sec hold x8 of balls to the wall, 50 air presses, and 10 sec hold x8 of balls to the wall.  Since @Rico was still smiling I figured we would stay for a round of people’s chair.

Event 2: Welsh Dragons (modified) -> in the center field we did 10 sets of 10 bear crawls followed by 1 merkin & 1 plank jack with increasing in number of exercises.  Meaning ending with 10 merkins and 10 plank jacks (in cadence of course).

Event 3: We finished off the morning with 2 circuits of exercises using some of Finkle’s favorite toys.  Cindy and her big sister, a jump rope, exercise cube, exercise ladder, and 8lb weighted exercise ball.  This completed the trifecta.  Exercises for 1st circuits were timer ran around the parking lot, chest press with big sister, curls for the girls with Cindy, WW1’s with weighted ball, roll the dice for your exercise, jump rope, and squats.  2nd circuit exercises were rut rows with big sister, overhead press with Cindy, American hammers with weighted ball, roll dice for your exercise, jump rope, and lunges.  But alas we ran out of time to complete 2nd circuit.

Q School – Session 1 2024

12 PAX for a mixer of Kenny’s Grave and Q school. Here’s a review.

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

Review during workout:
Cadence Count
Form and rep count
Know your PAX limitations if possible
