Its was a beautiful morning, the weather was a cool 56 degrees and the full moon was out which should of been a sign of things to come for this Q. 12 of your finest came out in support and trying to outshine the Q the replacements site Q’s made it known that it was 5:30 and instructions needed to begin.
A short run over to the theatre and the beautiful crescendo of the caddice began!
15 SSH
15 LSS
20 MC
30 Merks
The Thang:
Run to the fountain – partner up.
100 Dips
100 Derks
100 Step Ups
Partner laps
Those who are speeder then other got the group together for some LBC’s
This Q though it was a good idea to keep the partner theme going, despite the reluctancy of some. And as we moseyed over to the rock creek apartments I noticed that said replacement Q’s were running in the front of the pack instead of watching the FNG and back. None the less, we got to our destination and the Q instructed half the crew to climb down a 40ft ravine to capture a lifting rock. Partnerships continued:
100 Thrusters
100 Curls
100 LBC’s
Parter laps uphill and around apartments
Mosey to the steppest part of the hills the PAX got a little squirrel when asked to climb the mountain with partner resistance – after repeating himself 4-5 X the PAX finally conjured and we executed:
20 donkey kicks
1 lap up the mountain with partner resistance
5 hand slap Merks at the top
20 donkey kicks
1 partner switch lap up the mountain with partner resistance
5 hand slap Merks at the top
20 donkey kicks
Replacement site Q’s upset about the unorthodox exercise tried to take over the Q’s WO to be quickly put in place and over shadowed by the PAX Indian run back to site for some quick circle pushes.
All in all this Q gave himself a B+ grade. In hind site patterning up the whole 45mins isn’t for all. Some like to sweat on their own and its commendable. Shrink Wrap and Tattle Take (Tagalong) were the only thing holding this work out back. Their replacement of Cheddar and Commish were graded at a C-. Its the very reason why site Q’s are picked for a reason – some people are just not cut out for the job.
11 PAX made it out for Friday’s Fight Club for some unorthodox training. This Q decided to have a little fun with a deck of cards, making sure each PAX earned their weekend beers. 5:30am bell rang, disclaimers given and we were off and running.
1 lap around the school to get the heart rate up and we circled up for a game of suicide cards.
The Thang
1 Deck of cards – Each suite a different exercise, corresponding number for reps
1/2 Deck complete – PAX complaining, time to mosey to the white boxes for some sparring
PAX headed back to the front for the remainder of the deck of cards
Finished off with a little rope and foot training, followed by some Chippy abs
All in all, when you hear the PAX huffing and puffing you know you kicked their asses. A few highlights to note along the way:
Shout out to a new FNG Scott Morales (Pitch Perfect). He kept right up wit the group the whole time. He’s an out of towner, but talk of starting F3 up North is always good. The more guys we get the more we expand!
Appreciate everyone’s support for this Q who will continually bring some new and exciting workouts to the group each time.

Its started out slow for Fight Club as we pondered over many, bumps, bruises and breaks…but when that bell rang at 5:30am all of that was left on the pavement. A big loop around Foxhole and some necessary shoulder stretches and we got things moving!
