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.

Changing Seasons at Bushwood

Leave a comment

9 Pax landed at Bushwood for a balmy November in the Fort. YHC reviewed previous Bushwood backblasts and found my Bushwood VQ from 2021 and decided to bring it back.

One thing I noticed from the backblast was the enthusiasm that I had for the being the Q. The world was beginning to come out of the global pandemic and the fellowship of the Pax provided much needed energy for me to deliver a beatdown. It was the closing of a season and nearing the end of a time of chaos across the globe that will shape our world forever. As I read it in my current mindset, I questioned my current season and the current chaos that surrounds me at this moment. There will always be chaos. YHC will always be going through seasons. Seasons of adversity and challenges and seasons of growth and positivity. Reading the backblast from 2021 was a good reminder of this.

Warmup:

The pax moseyed to the band lot for the following:

SSH x 30 (YHC got off to a rocky start on the cadence here)
IW x 15
Mtn climbers x 15
Peter Parkers x 15

Mosey to CRHS for Line of Fire

1 pax runs back and forth from the tower while the rest of the pax rotate exercises including:

Merkins
Squats
Mtn climbers
Burpees

Next round

LBCs
Flutters
Hello Dollies
Big boy sit ups

Mosey to front of CRHS and partner up

Partner 1 – Balls to wall
Partner 2 – Shoulder taps x 20
Rinse and repeat x 3

Next round
Partner 1 – Peoples chair
Partner 2 – monkey humpers x 20
Rinse and repeat x 3

Mosey to driveway
Bear crawl to 10 CDDs
Lunge back to 20 squats
Rinse and repeat 3 times

Mosey back to Line of Fire
Final round split between abs and shoulder work

Mosey home

During the workout, we discussed seasons of life and the examination of what season you are in with your M, your 2.0s, friends and work. It is important to put guardrails around a season of adversity for Mammon so that it does not affect your M and 2.0s. Its an ongoing struggle for me with work.

We closed with vulnerability and leadership across all of the Pax on their season, their prayers and their praises. All 3 Fs were covered today at Bushwood and YHC leveraged this energy throughout the day.
