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.

lotsa left turns

WARMUP: disclaimer
THE THANG: wander through FMHS past the baseball field and pullup bars to get to Harris st. LEFT…. run to Walden Park entrance….. LEFT…. hug the LEFT curb and keep making LEFTS until you run every bit of Walden Park and arrive back at Harris St. Some made a right and headed back to COT. Some crossed Harris and continued the LEFT theme, running a couple more streets on the opposite side of Harris before returning to COT.
MARY: Some had a couple minutes to do some strider/sprints. Highly encourage runners to do this occassionally – your running mechanics and body benefits from sprinting from time to time.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: Yup

Sorry this backblast is late…. Sorry the video post to slack was late….

As often happens in the journey of life – better late than never.

Hello Newman

I. The Warm-O-Rama (The Tip-Off)
• The Mosey: A light 5-minute jog around the AO (Area of Operation) to get the blood flowing.
• Side-Straddle Hops: 20 reps in cadence (IC).
• Imperial Walkers: 15 reps IC (keep it slow to stretch the hip flexors).
• Windmills: 10 reps IC.
• Rebound Jumps: 30 seconds of small, rhythmic hops (stay on the balls of your feet).
II. The Thang: “The Road to the Final Four”
This is a four-station circuit. Spend 4 minutes at each station. If the group is large, split into four teams and rotate.
Station 1: The Round of 64 (High Reps, Low Impact)
• 64 Mountain Climbers (Single count): Focus on form, not speed.
• 64 Air Squats: Steady pace. Keep the chest up like you’re boxing out for a rebound.
Station 2: The Sweet 16 (The Core)
• 16 Big Boy Sit-ups: Slow and controlled.
• 16 Box Jumps (or Step-ups): Use a curb or bench. Step-ups are the preferred moderate modification here.
• Repeat until time is called.
Station 3: The Elite 8 (Upper Body)
• 8 Merkins (Push-ups): Quality over quantity.
• 8 Carolina Dry Docks: Great for the shoulders.
• 8 Werkins (Wide-arm push-ups):
• Repeat until time is called.
Station 4: The Full Court Press (Cardio)
• The Suicides: Run 10 yards and back, 20 yards and back, 30 yards and back.
• The Modification: Perform this at a 60% “recovery” pace rather than a sprint.
III. The “Buzzer Beater” (Finisher)
The “Bobby Hurley.” On the Q’s command, everyone “slaps the floor” (squats down to touch the ground) and jumps up for a jump shot.
• Perform 15 reps total.

Go through gauntlet again as a group

3-13

Good group for a chilly morning. Decided to be super creative and use date as workout plan. Yog over to side of lowes for 3 exercises, 13 reps of each: HR merkins, big boys, and squats. Repat this at 2 more stops until we ended up near the Imdian restaurant. Break up into 3 teams, 2 teams work while 1 team does active rest. Teams 1 & 2 do 10 merkins while team 3 holds plank, then 2 & 3 merkins and 1 planks, then 1 & 3 merkin and 2 planks. 2 rounds of this. Then same sequence but big boys were the exercise and 6″ leg holds were the rest. 2 rounds of that. Then another 2 rounds with squats and Al Gores. Yog over to main parking lot. Everyone line up on curb for 15 merkins, 15 big boys, and 15 squats, then run 3 line suicide. 13 merkins, 13 big boys, 13 squats, 2 line suicide. 11 merkins, 11 big boys, 11 squats, run to far line and back. Circle up, PAX are doing shoulder taps while 2 do 5 merkins. Rotate merkins around the circle until everyone has done 2 sets. Next round was lunges and 3 burpees. Again go around until everyone did 2 sets of burpees. Back to the cars for a few minutes of Mary. Thanks for the opportunity <@U04M7P605SM>!

That road loops through a section of neighborhood and heads back. Climb up the hill you just went down and head for home. 4.3 miles. Many pax did others things that only they have record of.
