Vision – creativity and clarity of your idea
Articulation – how well do you communicate this vision to the PAX
Persuasion – do you do anything to help the men move towards accomplishing the tasks set before them
Exhortation – how strongly do you encourage the men to see your workout vision through

  • Away Q will go first/Home Q will close
Q-Source afterwards

Cyclops is hosting Q-Source post-beatdown at roughly 0615. Coffeeteria on site. Bring a mug and a chair. Make plans to stay if you’re able. The discussions are richer when you’re a part of them

WARMUP: River Rat led us in Side Straddle Hops and Windmills before taking off to the RV Lot
THE THANG:
Anchor Bar kicked things off:
Starfish routine with coupon:
5 Manmakers
Ex 1 – 30 Jump Squats
Ex 2 – 30 American Hammers – DC
Ex 3 – 30 Big Boy Sit-ups
Ex 4 – 30 overhead Flutter Kicks – DC
Return to the center after each exercise for 5 Manmakers.

Since Esso planned to use the same parking lot he went next.
6 groups of men and exercising in cadence while one group member plays with Cindy:
• Mountain climbers IC > 5 Cindy Manmakers
• SSH IC > 10 Cindy swings
• 6 ct burps IC > Cindy overhead carry
Message: Ignite your fire, use F3 as your fuel, let the fire spread. :fire:
Next Homer led us out the entrance to a brand new feature of the AO. Stairs to the overflow parking lot. There we had 4 coupons and they started with the 4 Qs then passed among the PAX on each trip up and down the stairs. Each PAX also stopped for 10 squats at the top and bottom portions.
Message: share your heavy burdens.
Lastly Bandcamp tookover the group:
Crawl Bear an uncomfortable distance to the starting point using some feature of the AO
4 corner transport:
Burpee Broad Jump
Bear Crawl
Lunge walk
Toss 12 sand bags over the shoulder
Rinse and Repeat
Keep going!

Message:
Who is it that we say we are?
If you get tired, learn to rest.
There is no quitting.
You don’t get to decide when you can stop.
Who is it that we show people we are?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Homer came out victorious mainly due to votes received for use of AO. Thanks to all who participated in 1 or all 4 weeks. It was great to see some bonding between the regions through this event. Don’t be afraid to cross the river.
