People’s Q

Leave a comment

I tried something a little different today and had a people’s Q. I started us off with a little warm up then <@U07E0KTT4BV> picked up the Stick as we moseyed to the front of the movie theater. I thought we were going to watch Naked Gun but he had other plans.

Round 1
30 Step-ups (15 each leg)
25 Merkins
15 Big Boys

Round 2
30 Step-ups (15 each leg)
25 CDD
15 Big Boys

Round 3
30 Step-ups (15 each leg)
15 Hand Release Merkins
15 Big Boys

Next up was <@U08N6B7B3EF>

Group A performed Shoulder Taps while Group B army crawled for about 5 yards, then Bear Crawled for about 10 yards then sprint 25yards and back. Gross A & B switched. This went on for 3 rounds.

Next <@U067RCH0EPJ> took us over to the lower parking lot. We saw a couple of cop cars and we thought Unstable Vagina left his post to come workout with us but we were mistaken, it wasn’t him. <@U067RCH0EPJ> mapped out 4 corners of fun.
Corner 1 – 25 LBCs
Corner 2 – 25 Mike Tyson’s
Corner 3 – 25 Squats
Corner 4 – 25 American Hammers
We started in the middle of the 4 corners with a buy in of 1 Burpee then picked a corner then back to the center for a Burpee. Repeating until all 4 corner were hit.

Since we already had the 4 corners mapped out YHC picked up the stick for an Escalator.
Corner 1 – 10 SSHs
Corner 2 – 10 SSHs 25 CDD
Corner 3 – 10 SSHs 25 CDD 30 Squats
Corner 4 – 10 SSHs 25 CDD 30 Squats 40 LBCs

We moseyed back to COT in time to Al Gore it out for 30 seconds.

One Man in a Webb

Leave a comment

A light warmup was done with SSHs, arm circles, windmills and a few stretchy things. It was about 5:20 am and it’s just me, myself and I. At this point I had a decision to make; do I get back in the car, go to the comfort of my bed, and spiral into being a sad clown for the day. Nope, that is not what the Men of The Fort do. Whether it’s 1 or 100 we get after it.

I moseyed to lower lot past the theater. I guess I’ll this Bearkin Jax Taps.

Starting at one end of the lot, do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and 1 shoulder tap (Right + Left equal 1)
Bear crawl about 10 yards or so then do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, and 2 shoulder taps (Right + Left equal 1)
Repeat until 10 reps of merkins, plank jacks and shoulder taps.

Moseyed to the short hill just past Nana’s for a web hill run.

1:4 Ratio
1 Merkin at the bottom
Run up hill
4 Air Presses
Run down the hill
2 Merkins
Run up the hill
8 Air Presses
Repeat until 10 & 40 reps

Run back to COT for a CDD Webb
1:4 Ratio
1 CDD: 4 Squats
2CDD: 8 Squats
Up to 10:40
