Beat The Q



Beat The Q

12 Pax came out to see if they could beat the Q and the Q was beaten quite easily.  In fact, the Q was beaten so bad, he had a lot more time left over at the end than he anticipated.  That made for some awkwardly thrown together exercises that were barked out between large gasps of breath.

Two FNG’s came out after months of EH’ing from yours truly.  The pamphlet created by Deflated was what pushed them over the edge to get out so a big thank you for the work that went into that.  It looks very professional, in fact – almost too professional for this rag tag bunch.  Welcome Wild Thing and Frozen.

 

Warm up

Mosey to Laundry Mat (I was told my opening pace was faster than they were use to out of me.  Apparently they were right because I was huffing and puffing pretty hard by the time we reached the laundry mat).

25 SSH

20 Opposite elbow mountain climbers

10 3-6-9’s

10 Potato Pickers

 

The Thang

Mosey to Animal Hospital.

10 Merkins at each station, 5 stations total for 50 total Merkins.  Finish with a final set of 20 T Merkins.  Key was to not let the Q beat any Pax.  If I did, we would redo the exercise.  Apparently Posse didn’t quite understand the meaning of Beat the Q.  I thought the whole time he was struggling like me, then he realized he had to beat me and he turned on another gear.  FNG’s were well ahead of me from the get go so no luck in catching one of them….looks like the Pax would be spared of repeating this exercise.

Rock Pile for a Heavy Lifting Rock

21’s (except they were 30’s). Curl bottom half for 10, top half for 10, full curl for 10.

Military Press Ladder with a hold – 10, 9 hold for 1, 8 hold for 2…..

Short Mosey to the hill for Triple Nickle (I think???)

10 Burpees at bottom of hill, run backwards to top, 10 Dry Docks.  Repeat for 3 rounds.  Another beat the Q exercise.  This time I did get close in beating Wild Thing (FNG), but the Pax started getting the hang of this working together to beat the Q game.  Foundation laid a couple of checks into the board to slow me down.  He must have been talking with Frozen (FNG) a former pro hockey player.

10 count by Posse then noticed that some of the Pax took their sweet time getting back to starting position from helping 6 in.  Money Ball for an additional 5 count.

Jailbreak to the Laundry Mat stop sign.  Another beat the Q game.  I was on the heels of a few of the guys the first 1/4 of the hill.  By the time I made it within reach of the stop sign I was gassed and most of the Pax had been there awhile.

Extremely slow mosey (in fact most would call it a walk) back towards the church.  Once I got my breath in check enough to talk I instructed 25 T claps as we walked.

Partner Up.  Partner 1 hold wooden fence for low slow jumping squat – 25 count.  Partner 2 In/Out Merkin  2 Rounds

Partner Leg throws – Left, Center, Right, Center was 1 round.  10 rounds total.  Damascus will be so disappointed to hear he missed a little man touch, even though it was only hands to shoes.  A sarcastic thank you to Mad Dog (my partner) for dripping sweat into my eye.  I admit I did an extra lean forward trying to aim mine, but I don’t think my aim is as good as his.  There is probably a really good joke here, but I will leave that up to the imagination in an attempt to keep this Back blast semi clean.

Quick watch check – 6 minutes left.  (I had counted on beating the pax at least one of the times we were racing)  What to do now with all this extra time……Mosey to Stop sign for suicides.  Beat the Q back in play.  Got close to Posse at the end, but he heard my footsteps and hit that extra gear again.

Watch Check 4 minutes.  Seriously!??  Lunge walk until I could catch my breath.

Watch Check 2 minutes.  Asked Posse to lead American Hammers while I grabbed my phone.  Deflated wrapped us up with Lolita’s.  Watch check 6:15.

 

Mole Skin

Thanks to all those that came out.  A big thank you to the 2 FNG’s that showed after months of me asking and pushing.  One told me he would come just so I would quit asking.  Hopefully he enjoyed enough to join us again.

Wild Thing named for his love of the Cleveland Indians and Major League being his favorite movie.

Frozen named because he was a former pro hockey player and his wife’s love of Disney.

I was told there were two Jingles sightings this week – yet the 1 day I show up he is nowhere to be found.  His shirt still rides in my car…..going on month 4 now.

Posse came in on two wheels.  Being the FNG whisperer, I pictured him in one of those old Folgers commercials – smells the FNG’s and hops out of bed tearing out of Lawson to make it to The Floater in time.  Posse, thanks as always for your leadership, kindness, and inviting spirit towards the new guys.

As we were doing name-o-rama there was a whole half of the group I didn’t realize was there.  I guess that’s what happens when you lead from the back.  Good work from Shampoodle and Loafer to not even be in my sights when I was trying to catch Pax.

If you liked the workout, I will be at it again at Weddington on Saturday.

 

Announcements

Mad Dog collecting money for a not so secret Stub Hub baby gift from the F3 group.  He will be collecting money Friday and Saturday.  Thanks go his M for doing the dirty work and actually buying the gift(s).  We all know if it were left up to us they would be getting a box of diapers and a 6 pack of beer – well maybe 5 pack of beer.
