Q School: Session 3

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

UFO High Score Comeback

22 PAX for some not too windy Ultimate! We had even teams and even score after a great comeback but the pinnies prevailed.

Wood Chuckin’

FNGs: None

Warm Up: 25 SSH; Bat wings: 15 Sir Fozio forwards, 15 backwards, 15 seal claps, 15 overhead claps; Jack Webbs to 10. Arms and shoulders are awake now. 

Been eyeballing the handrails outside the gym entrance since the middle school was finished. We did a sideways bear crawl up and around three times. 

Found some curb and did about 50 yards of fancy feet 

Main event: Everyone selected a log from thestack. Lined up for John Cusack (overhead carry) Indian run the long way around the elementary school, arriving at the track. During the pain, we all got a chuckle out of several wood references along the way, including Morning Wood and Major Wood. Had to modify from the overhead carry. Shoulders were toast. 

Tossed log over the fence and hopped in. Lined up on soccer end line. H1N1 explained the soccer term, end line. 

First pass: Lunge walked with log. Really we were just scoping out the log toss. I wanted to make sure there were no sprinkler heads. Didn’t see any. Learned that Wide Right played high school football and played both offensive and defensive line. 

Second pass: Throw your log as far as you can, run up to it and do a burpee. Rinse and repeat until you reach the other end line. Fram led  the way. Saw a cigarette butt in the middle of the field. 

Third pass: Mosey with another overhead press? Followed by 15 bus drivers in cadence. Shoulders are feeling good now!

Looked down at my watch and it was 6:05 already. 

OK, time for some SPRINTS! Moseyed to start line. I marked several intervals along the way. We did four intervals. Not very clean starts, but solid effort by all. 

Mary: We had 1 minute for low slow flutter. Have a nice day. 

Announcements: Highway cleanup Saturday after GroundPounder. 

T-Claps (Recognition): This group worked hard today!

Prayer: Finkle’s brother (separation), Rico’s son (noggin), H2N1 family (lost grandmother recently)

A mutiny happened at Mutiny and @Rico is not yet a grandpa!

PAX: @Finkle, @Rico, @Rubiks, @FlipPhone, @Breach, @Fumunga, @Winnebago, @H1N1, @LED

FNG: @Buffalo aka @Don Ross

Warm-up: 

Good Mornings in cadence, downward dog, spitting cobra/up dog, merkins, SSH, and a mosey around track.

Main Event:

  1. 11’s on the hill next to soccer field.  Fence squats at the top and burpees at the bottom.  Modes of transportation were jog, reverse lunge walk down, and bear crawls.
  2. Catch me if you can.  We partnered up and ‘partner A’ jogged around the track while ‘partner B’ did a prescribed exercise and then had to sprint to catch their partner.  Then switched.  Did 4 rounds exercises were, 20 merkins, 20 low slow flutters, 20 lunges, 20 SSH.
  3. No free picnic.  We made our way over to the picnic tables and did 10 Irkins, 10 Merkins, 10 Derkins, 10 Dips, 20 Step-ups and repeated once same exercises.

Dad Joke (sponsored by @Rico):

What do you call a man with no shins?  Tony, get it Toe-knee

Something about Mary:

LBCs, WW2, Side crunches, Freddie Mercuries, J-Lo’s, Plank hold, and Pickle Pounders to appease the all the wild women watching us workout at 5:30 in the morning.

COT:

Safe travels for @Finkle ‘s M, @H1N1 for his family as they mourn the loss of his M’s grandmother, and @Rico’s daughter GG who apparently is not prego @Rubiks lol…  She will be having an ultrasound soon to check on a possible cyst on her ovary.

Upper Body Day at THE YARD

Warm Up:  Standard stuff, SSH and the like, but knowing today would be upper body-heavy, I threw in some Sir Fazios and Slo-Mo Merkins to get that whole area ready to go

The Workout:  This is a lazy copy & paste of routine I’ve done before, with the purpose of eschewing a well rounded full body workout for a more targeted beat down of one particular area.  The thang was this:

A warmup of 7’s on the parking lot hill, consisting of LBCs and Squats.  Then the main event was 3 stations, positioned around the community center building:  Merkins, Dips, Carolina Dry Docks.  We hit a set of one, mosey about 1/3 of the way around the building, repeato, repeato repeato. 

Because the mosey was so short and didn’t give us much time to recover between sets, I threw in a few rounds of People’s Chair after 2 or three rounds.  The only other variation was on the Merkins – one set was Diamonds, one set was wide-grip, and the final set was a Merkin Sampler – 4 reps of each. 

Mary: Side hips raises, heel taps maybe, …something difficult FRAM made us do, and probably one more, I dunno.  

T-Claps (Recognition):   The pre-workout message was a reminder of GRATITUDE.  Keeping our mindset off “I HAVE to workout”, and keeping it on “I GET TO/AM ABLE to work out”.  Celebrate physical abilities of our bodies and be grateful for every opportunity to use them as they are intended.

Prayer:  Nemo driving to Ohio with his son for a big time swim competition
