Becoming Good at this Q Thing!

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 4/18/2022

PAX: Starfish, Green Acres (WD), Zima, Ziggy Stardust, Crash, Frostbite (QIC, WB)

 

On a dreary Monday AM, after a long holiday weekend, there were plenty of other things that I could have been doing this morning.

 

But!

 

When your fresh off losing your #QVirginity, all hell breaks loose and that was the case this morning.  This was my 2nd Q in about a month, and hopefully my skills & technique(s) improved the second time around.  #Cotters to whomever showed up to #Flatline on 3/15… I was just nervous! I promise!

 

Anyways, here is how the beatdown went:

I tried to keep everyone as dry as possible.  Music began.

 

Warm-o-rama (under front of school shelter) :

SSH (20x IC)

Imperial Storm Troopers  (15x IC)

Arm Swirly Things Forwards (10x IC)

Arm Swirly Things Backwards (10x IC)

Overhead Press (10x IC)

Copperhead Squats (11x IC)

Mosey to back of school where there was more shelter

The Thang:

There were 4 stations at various doors where the Pax were to do said exercises.

#1) Diamond Merkins /  Lunges (dc) /  Freddie Mercs

#2) Wide Merkins / Jump Squats / Heels 2 Heaven

#3) Carolina Dry Docks / Monkey Humpers / LBCs

#4) Merkins / Squats / American Hammers

Start with 5 reps per exercise at each station, mosey to each station.  Once one round at all stations is complete, add 5 more reps.

Pax got up to 20, then went back down to 15, then 5.

Mosey to beginning for Mary.

5 Minutes of Communal Mary:

Starfish chose Box Cutters (12x IC)

Ziggy chose Penguin Crunch (10x IC)

Green Acres chose Tempo Merkins (10 secs down, 10 secs up, 5x IC)

Crash chose J-LOs (10x IC)

 

TIME! Sorry Zima!

 

NMM:

In the beginning, @Zima mentioned that it took 8 years for me to Q and now I decide to get going… Well… again, I didn’t realize what I was missing out on all this time 😉 Who knew it was so good!

@Starfish was proud that I at least waited until marriage. Yeah, I waited until I was 21 for my first beer, too!

Lots of disgruntlement that @Green Acres chose Tempo Merkins during #Mary.  It wasn’t like we hadn’t done a whole workout with Merkins. I tried to tire him out to no avail.

S/o to @Ziggy for the inspo on this workout.  He did this at #Flatline a while back… There was probably more running at that one.

The weather made @Crash, @Green Acres, @Ziggy, and @Me harp on a brutally cold and rainy workout at #TIT on 1/03/2022 led by @Crash.  There were only 4 of us at that one and for good reason.  Today wasn’t as bad.

Not much MC… everyone grouped up but @Zima. He chose to go solo and keep his thoughts to himself.

 

No Announcements

 

Prayer Requests:

@Giles and his family during this difficult time.

 

Great morning with some #HIM. Thank you for pushing me to the max in the Gloom.

    Looks like a “lovely” time. Good to see your humility grows with every Q.
    BTW, it’s #Kotters, from the tv show (before you were born), Welcome back, Kotter.

    Darn good job, Frostbite! You kept us so dry I was almost dry from moseying there, but temp dropped and rain picked up on the mosey home. Glad for hot shower! 😅 And I heard no gruntling about Huckleberry merkins, except Zima asking if I paid Huck royalties. 😄. A fun and well-planned workout!

    Not only is it #Kotters, but YHC thinks 2.3 actually meant to reference #Cobains. Also before his time as Kurt died in 1994, over 3 years before young #Frostbite graced us with his presence.

      I definitely meant #Cobains. #Cobains for the confusion.

    I need to show up for a Frostbite Q. You have to do it again. Great job on the BB.
