2026 QvQ round 1

Leave a comment

THE THANG:
Fishstix was away and was alloted the 1st 20 minutes. We moseyed up to the top lot at The JOC. He led us in a series of partner work. Shouldered partner resistance mosey face to face, Patty Cake Merkins, Partner Get Ups. Round 2 was Wheel Barrows, Leg Throws and Partner Cliff Hanger Merkins.

Our man Flair subbed in for Slopes who sadly came down with the sickness. Flair stayed in the cross regional partner up and called AMRAP work together. No Cheat Merkins, Big Boys and Squats – take a lap. Remember your time as you are always challenging yourself. Next round same workout but beat your AMRAP from Rd 1. Take a lap. Stop at soccer goals and line up in Groups of 3. Suicides across the parking lot. Partner 1 takes of, Partner 2 planks and Partner 3 burpees until all partners complete suicide.
Flair Band Camp Please feel free to edit this BB as needed.

Mosey back to COT for a quick ab lab.

Both brought great VAPE however Fishstix pulled away by the tightest margin. Kudos to Flair for throwing together a great workout in little to no time. Kudos to Fishstix for taking the Dub.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Announced
COT: Prayers and praises as we tallied the vote.

WARMUP: yes! Absolutely it was windy and cold. We would mosey and then wall sit dor everybody to catch up. As soon as the last guy arrived and sat down against the wall we were up and running again to another random location. Bonsai openly wondered if that was all I had planned. We did it for so long.

THE THANG: truth is: when I Q a moderate I often see who is present and budget our workout accordingly. In the spirit of a moderate, I kept all the counts to 10 or under and the mileage limited. These guys are strong.

The main portion was built around light poles and additive work. We were doing merkins and squats, adding an additional rep each light pole

At pole six and pole nine we stopped even though the lights weren’t on. I made a reference to how some men in our community are like those light poles: present but their light has gone out. Being among F3 guys is like standing in a well lit parking lot. A ton of dudes on fire accelerating.

But are we invigorating male community leadership if we don’t continue to reach out to those guys whose light has dimmed? The sad clowns among us need F3!

So, at every light pole we came across that was out—we did six merkins and nine squats. Turns out there are a lot of light poles at this AO in need of new bulbs or more power. I’m not sure what the metaphor is for sad clowns needing a new bulb or more power, but let’s keep working on EHING them and we can ask after their fifth or sixth post.

Closed with Bulgarian split squats, core work, and some mobility that is always a crowd favorite
