People’s Q

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.

WARMUP:
THE THANG:
Ruck Shuffled 1 min on and 1 minute off the full workout.
We made our way to Mr. Putty’s for a windmill and stretched. From there, we shuffled to the back road to GHMS, and at each light pole, we did 3 merkins and 3 squats in a back-and-forth sequence of out 2 poles and back 1 pole, working our way down to the bottom of the hill. Ruck on the whole time.
At the bottom of the hill, each pax selected a large rock, we did one overhead press and pass the rock to the right for a full minute, then rinsed and repeated to the left for a full minute.
We then shuffled to the benches at the school and did 3 sets of ARAP dips for 30 each, with ruck on.
We then shuffled to the light poles in front of the school and did 5 flutter press and 5 OHP while suitcase carrying the ruck from pole to pole. The sequence was out two poles and back one pole until we made our way to the end of all the light poles.
We then shuffled to the bottom of the hill at the school entrance. Did 10 slick burpees and ruck shuffles back to COT.
