Q-Fusion

A litte Q-fusion this morning at <#C02PK4V7WLV>. I noticed several Pax running around the AO before kick-off time. Most getting some extra miles before the Dam to Dam relay. I noticed <@U5Y5JA02G> running and I thought I had seen his name of the Q Line-up for the Catawba Ridge AO (whatever the new name is).
After clearing up the Q-Fusion, we started with a mosey around the parking lot. We stopped a few times for Toy Soldiers, Butt Kickers, and Knees to Chest. we made our way to the band parking lot for the first phase:
– Bear crawl out to 10, 2 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 20, 4 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 30, 6 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 40, 8 burpees, crawl bear back to start
– Bear crawl out to 50, 10 burpees, run back to start

Next, same markers, except run out, 10 SSH (+10 each marker), Nur back to start.
Last set, same marker, run, 10 squats, nur back to start.

Next, we moseyed to pull-up bars. 5s – 1 pull up, 4 squat thrusters, increase pulls +1, decrease squats -1
Rinse and Repeat
Finished off with a Jack Webb

Good to see some new faces. we had a out of town visitor and a Kotter.
Great job guys

899 Reps with Virtual Deck of Cards

Since snowmageddon partly melted yesterday and refreezed on the roads overnight, I offered up a virtual beatdown again. Last time was the spinning wheel, so I figured the next iteration should be a deck of cards. For all of our <#C08ST83CF1T> friends, I used Manus to build a customized deck of cards that we used for the workout. Bureeps, Shoulder Taps (increments of 4) Merkins (increments of 2) and Big Boys (increments of 2) and 2 jokers of 30 and 50 squats. In case anyone wants to play with it at a future date: https://exercisedeck-zacxsa5x.manus.space/

THE THANG: I hit deal and we did whatever the card showed. It feel like a lot of shoulder taps to start. A lot of merkins in the middle and finished with burpees and big boys. All told, we did 91 Burpees, 364 shoulder taps, 182 Merkins, 182 big boys, and 80 squats. That’s 899 reps. We then added some Mary, which got us over 900 reps for the 45-minute session.

MARY: Hello Dollys, LBC, American Hammers

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Break the Dam moved to 2/28/26. Bethel Shelters 2/5. Lots of guys are there because of the cold right now. Yetti Challenge. Read your newsletter for a leaderboard update.

COT: Prayers for healing. Lots of people who have some serious medical issues they are dealing with right now in each person’s circle.
