The Workout: Partner up with a large rock for both PAX. One PAX starts 30 reps of an exercise and the other takes a lap around the community center. They meet after a time and switch off. Curls, overhead press, squat, ground pounder. 

Thing 2: One partner bear crawls and pushes a small rock down the parking lot. Other partner runs to the end and back. Switch spots and repeat. Changes to walking lunges instead of bear crawls after 3 rounds.

Q School – Session 1 2024

/in /by

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
Site Q duties
Q sheet, pre-blast, backblast
Exicon, backblast from other regions, winky, Co-Q

Thang 1: Dora with bear crawl timer. 50 diamond merkins, 100 monkey humpers, 150 groiners,
Thang 2: Basketball court 7’s – burpees and absolutions

Thanks for attending men!
