Two Qs at The Fort
Fishstix Q:
Lap around the park stopping at each swing for warm – ups (SSHs, IWs, WMs, HBWs, MNCs). Stopped at the hill near the monument for a motified Dora. Both partners performed the standard exercises (Merkins, Squats, LBCs). At the completion of half the total reps (50, 100, 150), we moved to the top of the hill. First round was a run, second- wheelbarrow, third – bear crawl. With a few minutes left, we moseyed back to the theater for a few minutes of wall sits, bear crawl merkins.
Cohiba Q:
Ran to each swing and performed the number of reps with the number on the top of the swings by doing burpees, seal jacks, and Lunges at each swing. We started with 9 reps and went down to 1 rep. After the last swing we ran to the front of the amphitheater and did 3 Rounds of 10 reps each of Merkins and jump squats then during Round 1 after the exercises we bear crawl to a concrete pad and back, during Round 2 we did the same exercises with a crab walk to the concrete pad and back, and during Round 3 we did the same exercises with a Run to the concrete pad with a Nur on the way back. Then we just ran 1 loop around the park to COT
Mary: American Hammers until the time was up.
We work hard and had alot of laughs. While we were crab walking. I shared a story about a friend who was crabbing. If you haven’t tried it, it should be on your bucket list My friend caught a crab in his net and attempted to dislodge it from the net into a bucket. Unfortunately, when it flew off the net, it grabbed on to the first thing it hit, his nut sack. One in a million shot.

Great to see <@U07TVBVVC3X> today and looking forward to his V-Q next week at GC. Everyone put out a great effort today, and it’s always a pleasure to lead the Pax at <#C02PFBMMZL6> – one of my favorite AO’s of The Fort! Thanks again for the Q-spot <@U01CGBKBQ64>
