WARMUP: Quick lap around the main parking lot (not going behind the stores), then circle up for the following, 10-15 of each:
– SSH
– WM
– IW then HW
– MNC
– Strawberry pickers
Then mosey not too far from COT for….
THE THANG:
Ladder of Deconstructed Burpees
A loop of .25 mile was set up, the same one we used as a warmup.
Do the exercises, then run the loop. The idea was in each round, you do an exercise that is part of the standard burpee.
Ascending ladder (run a lap between each round)
Round 1: 1 burpee + 10 hand-touch squats
Round 2: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 (2ct) mountain climbers (10 each leg)
Round 3: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 2 ct MCs
Round 4: 4 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 MCs + 10 merkins + 10 jump squats w OH clap
Descending the ladder (run a lap between each round)
>> Take off 1 burpee and 1 exercise
Round 5: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins
Round 6: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions
Round 7: 1 burpee + 10 hand-touch squats
>> Rinse and repeat

  • One evolution is 16 burpees, 70 LSS, 50 MCs (2ct), 30 merkins, 10 jump squats

Everyone got at least 2 full completions of this evolution (ascend then descend is one evolution), and started another full ascension. Overall, everyone got at least 3 miles. Good push by everyone.
MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mentioned some of the things in the newsletter. Read it. Get involved.
COT: Alot lifted up.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead. SYITG.

2026 QvQ Round 2

Leave a comment

QvQ Format:
20/20
PAX Vote in 4 categories
V.A.P.E.

Rabbit:
Divide into two teams

Every man runs 25m and nurs 25 back and the completes 2 squat jumps and 2 burpees.
WWR but add 2 reps to each exercise after each trip out and back. Team with the most reps in total wins.

In addition, each team selects 2 pax to hold Cindy’s above head … Cindy can't drop below the head… if they do the team loses their count and starts over at zero

15 minutes of work.

After time expires, Hold AlGore and plank while the preacher preaches about asking for help and looking for a brother that might need it. (Let's do this for each other men!)

Last 4 minutes jail break 50m and do 5 Big Boys… again but do 10… keep adding 5 and sprinting until time expired.

Stage Coach:
Partner work
Partner 1 will run to the other side of the field and back to partner 2. Partner 2 will be doing an exercise that slowly progresses across the field until Partner 1 returns and switch. Continue switching off between running and exercises until you’re across the field.
Exercises – Bear Crawl, lunge, broad jump burpee, crawl bear and reverse lunge

Results:
Stage Coach won two categories, but Rabbit also won two and had the most overall votes. Win goes to Rabbit.

Great work by both Qs sharpening their leadership today.

2026 QvQ round 1

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.

Cohiba called Hello Dollys
That took us to 0600

ANNOUNCEMENTS: always – and read your newsletter too.

COT: My why for F3 is simple we can give others a path to being better while doing so ourselves. In our lives, there are things that make us better off, or worse off. The mission is simple and compelling.

Prayers were lifted up for U-Haul and his family and DD & his M going through cancer treatment.

Praise for Sofrito turning 50 and respect.

This was a Q school workout. Reminders shared wi the pax are below. Thanks for the call Cubbie 👁️

Q-school Tips: 3-31-26
1 – when running fitness levels vary widely; 4 corners is great.
2 – calling cadence demonstrated
3 – scout your site beforehand if possible
4 – keeping the group together: run-exercise-run-exercise-run-exercise
5 – 5 minutes of Mary – great way to have a new pax call an exercise and lead in a cadence
6 – have a modified exercise in reserve if fitness levels vary widely – ie: burpee modified down to a flying squirrel or a squat into a plank and return to upright. Modify as needed to avoid injury; don’t modify to avoid effort
7 – partner work (ie: Dora) – encourages pax and takes cadence off of Q (freed to lead…..and delegate)
8 – site q is responsible for site; q is responsible for the outcome of the workout: Credo part 1 – leave no man behind
Credo part 2 – leave no man where you found him
