20+ Pax attended my Virtual Virgin Q for a sunny and warm beatdown. First came out to a Q in January and realized it was about time for me to step up (h/t to MightyMite for his recruiting skills). Full body beatdown until 7:30 on the dot. Was it as good for you as it was for me?
Warmup
- 20 calf raises OYO #rulesbroken
- 20 windmills OYO
- 20 Hillbillies OYO
- 20 Side straddle hops
- 20 plank jacks
The Thang
- 11’s: jump squats and merkins
- 2-minute run
- AMRAP (Arms): 10 curls, 10 shoulder presses, 10 tricep extensions, run to end of driveway and back. Repeat for 5 minutes
- 1-minute run out, sprint back
- AMRAP: 10 freddie mercuries, 10 heels to heaven, 10 step ups, run to end of driveway and back. Repeat for 5 minutes.
- 2-minute run
- KILLER B’s: this is where things really started to suck. Bear crawl out 50 feet, broad jump back, 3 burpees every 5 jumps. Arms and legs were burning after 3 sets. #Mumblechatter begins
- 2-minute run
- AMRAP (Legs): 10 goblet squats, 10 jump ups, 10 chair lunges, run to end of driveway and back. Repeat for 5 minutes. #Mumblechatter accelerates. Grievances aired about AMRAP
- 2-minute run
- AMRAP (Combo): 5 burpees, 10 side straddle hops, 15 Dwight Howards (wall tap jumps), 20 LBC’s. Reminder that #Whitemancan’tjump from Frehley’s Comet. Humor distracts from the pain.
- 2-minute run
- 11’s: deadlifts and shoulder press. Debating the difference between Romanian deadlift and normal deadlift. Arms are burning.
- 2-minute run
- Alternate 5 big boy situps and 5 merkins until time! Everything is burning.
Moleskin
- Mighty Mite and Bucky shared that more workouts will be going back to in-person (following CDC guidance) while others will still remain virtual. Do what is right for you and your family. Stay tuned on workout details.
- Encouragement for the days ahead. “God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.” – 1 John 3:18
- Cul-de-sac led us out in prayer. Reminder to support graduating seniors and encourage them while things are up and down.
- These virtual workouts have been crucial to my emotional/physical sanity during isolation. Shoutout to all for leading and making these work – thanks Chopper and Paper Jam for being my run buddies over the last month
- If I can lead a few months in, who’s up next?
Tips for the first Q:
- 2-minute runs helped space out the circuits and chew some clock
- Exercise database was super helpful searching things like “routine” and “circuit”
- OYO was much easier virtually instead of trying to count in cadence
- Ask and learn from others. Shoutout to Tuck and Chastain for tips/guidance
