Q School — Lead, Presence, Shared Suffering, Fun

WARMUP: Yes! Brief mosey with some carioca, NUR, etc

This is a key step for YHC in a weinke as a means to assess pax fitness levels/mobility, loosen everyone up, and for me to get out of my head and into the moment.

THE THANG: We moved around the AO, using benches and building walls at points along the way. With a collection of experiences Qs, everyone shared ideas and preferences from their archive.

The shared suffering push took place along the wall with a series of exercises done until each pax’s Failure: People’s Chair, Balls to the Wall, Elbow Plank. Yes, Harry Cary was King of all of them!

MARY: Passed the baton to give each pax the chance to call an exercise IN CADENCE

Cadence calling is a core element of Qing a workout in my book. Not only does it keep pax together and in sync it also established the Q as the Leader when he calls exercises in cadence. It’s a core skill for all pax/Qs.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Key points recap:
1. To Q is a privilege (not work or an obligation); humbly accept the honor gratefully and prepare accordingly
2. LEAD! The Q is the leader, so lead the pax — that’s what they expect. A solid intro, Disclaimer and Cadence Count establish the Q as leader at the outset
3. Be present! — stay in the moment, aware of how pax are doing, how you’re doing, and you all stay together in all realms throughout (regardless of what your plan from day beforeifht indicate). The warmup is an example of a way to start on this path.
4. Shared suffering — push the pax somehow during the workout. It doesn’t have to be a 100% crusher…just find a way to push them beyond themselves in some way. They come out to be pushed and it’s the Q who has to deliver.
5. Have fun! — it’s ok to steal ideas from others and work then into your plan. Just make sure why you’re calling is something you enjoy and your joy shows through in your leadership and messaging.

COT: Yes, always!

Bring Your Wife to F3 Day

Shady led the Pax out of Runde Park to the circle at the end of Windward Drive for windmills, cherry pickers, yoga type back stretches,Peter Parkers and Parker Peters. The Pax then ran back to Runde and met up at the parking lot.
THE THANG:
Shady gave each man a tennis ball and instructed us to write our wives’ first initial on the ball. That ball would stay with us for the rest of the workout.

Dora with your wife as your partner. From the playground, we did the following exercises and ran to the back of the basketball court and back between each set.
50 pullups (set of 10)
100 decline merkins (set of 20)
150 step ups were planned, but we ran out of time.

<@UGRNYPPUM> always brings something unique to his Qs, and his idea of having a tennis ball with our wives’ initials was a good reminder of how lucky we are to have our spouses. YHC and Shady picked up the Q spot as last minute subs for our friend <@UN3JKG18C> who will be handing off site Q duties in two weeks. Thank you for your leadership, my friend. It was a beautiful morning at Runde and always a pleasure to lead the Pax on Saturday mornings. We are truly lucky Men of the Fort!
