Q-School Session 2

Leave a comment

For Q-School, we focused on a solid warmup in cadence.
Had the newer PAX build some reps.

Also worked to push the PAX a bit with a DORA, and then some Pearls on a String. Small discussion of how these workouts function and how to describe them before executing them. Focused mainly on basic exercises, there’s no need to do a 12-count exercise before you can count imperial walkers.

Exercises we stuck around:
Merkin
Squat (& low slow variety)
Imperial Walker
Side Straddle Hop
Burpee

Some discussion of in-cadence vs. single count. We had the PAX work on cadence count again once they were winded after running the Bus Route Hill.

I encourage PAX to review the Q101 document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zFiVyspf1Xph6GIv-r-z5brONWUzhEYrBvXzbnKfdBc/edit?usp=sharing and the Fort’s Workout Q Handbook https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1TSlzhBPmkrGp3_kI7qA-UpI57tSVzo_mdyKpqXAJQ4k/mobilebasic

Remember to observe the PAX, ask the Site Q to cover the 6, take command, and to HAVE FUN. It’s a free workout group! Yes, we are strivign to be better, but put some personality and joyfulness into your Qs!

NaF’s Kotter Status

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Naked and Afraid led in cadence. He’s still got it.

THE THANG: NaF tried to hand off, but I didn’t let him. So, he called 50 burpees and got himself gassed enough so that I would take over.
We did some partner dora-esque work including:
50 burpees
100 CDD
150 LBC
Bulgarian Split Squats
Bear Crawled with additive merkins
J-Los
Flutters

PAX discussed what brings us out to the gloom.
Among the answers:
The desire to be better for our families
The fellowship
Knowing we wouldn’t do this in isolation
The leadership training
Connection to Q-source
The mentorship
Starting the day up 1-0
The accountability
Associating with a group of men striving to be better
Imagine what kind of sad clowns we’d (I’d) be otherwise

An honor to lead today. Great to have NaF answer my text last night and step up to post and Q the warmup!
