QIC: Turnover

Date: 3.18.25

PAX: @Adobe , @Cruiser , @Ziggy Stardust (WD?) , @Blind Date , @Inspector Gadget (WB) , @Tamme , @Subfloor , @Show Pony , @Superfly (WD?) , @Turnover (Q)

It only took just under 7 years, but YHC finally notched my AO VQ at the esteemed, premier non-running Tuesday AO, #Parliament.

To be honest, I was a little nervous, but an attempt was made to provide a proper beatdown that did not include running. Other modes of transportation would have to be explored.

YHC got some inspiration by referring back to the weinke from The Sasquatch (a horrific CSAUP beatdown from a few years ago that consisted of roughly 8 million exercises and 4,000 miles of running). YHC hand picked a couple of #nice circuits that made up part of The ‘Squatch to deploy for today’s beatdown. Let’s check it out.

0530: YHC provides a welcome and recites the Mission Statement and CP’s to perfection.

Go Time…there’s no running at this AO, but PAX were encouraged to “Slow-sy” (Trademark: @Inspector Gadget) over to the blocks and select their weapons

The THANG

PAX started at the top of the parking lot with their blocks on the ground

Our destination was the end of the parking spaces. Our mode of transportation: Block-push Bear Crawls (Trademark: @Huckleberry?)

PAX were instructed to perform the following:

2 block pushes – 18 Merkins

2 block pushes – 18 Squats

2 block pushes – 18 Gas Pumps

Repeato until you reach the end of the parking spaces

At the end of the parking spaces, we got into the aforementioned circuits from The Sasquatch

First Up: Captain America

PAX selected a line from one of the parking spaces to perform their work

At the line, PAX complete burpees followed by lateral hops side to side over the line in the following format:

1 burpee :: 4 lateral hops

2 burpees :: 8 lateral hops

Follow this pattern all the way up to 10 burpees :: 40 lateral hops

(For those keeping score at home, that’s 55 burpees)

Next Up: Partner Work

Partner 1: 20 Merkins ; Partner 2: 10 Jump Squats. Partners then flapjack: Partner 1: 10 Jump Squats ; Partner 2: 20 Merkins

Follow this pattern all the way down to 2 Merkins / 1 Jump Squat

(Scorekeepers: 110 Merkins, 55 Jump Squats)

Running out of time so we returned the blocks and headed back to launch for…

Hats off to @Inspector Gadget for his coining of the term “Slow-sy” (see: Slow Mosey) this morning. It’s a term YHC will be stealing and using whenever appropriate henceforth.

@IG also accurately predicted our mode of transportation to kick off the beatdown. Editor’s Note: the lack of grumbling about this mode of transportation was disheartening to the Q. YHC will try harder next time to actually challenge the studs of #Parliament.

The blocks of @Adobe and @Cruiser have been submitted to the F3 Players Association for inspection. They were clearly far too light as both of these guys flew through the first circuit of pushing those puppies down the parking lot.

@Ziggy was on his Wheaties game today, selecting the heavier of the block options for his block pushes. It was decided that the PAX would prefer one of his classes to the beatdown they showed up for today.

It was YHC’s first time posting with @Show Pony and @Tammy (@Tamme? – I say that because the Colts hoodie he was rocking today made me think of the former Colts, Broncos, and Falcons TE Jacob Tamme). Sounds like we need an origin story put up on Slack!?

YHC didn’t hear/see much of @Show Pony this morning, but from what I could observe, he made light work of all called exercises.

@Tamme proved to be an excellent partner for the partner work. He was not phased at all by the ridiculous amount of merkins and did a great job in keeping YHC on track with how to count things.

@Superfly went against YHC’s personal mantra: Speed Over Form all morning. My guy had impeccable form throughout the beatdown.

@Subfloor, who was already peeved with YHC after I informed him I would need to punt on my #Alcatraz Q duties this weekend, made sure to remind me that I dropped the ball by not bringing music (#QFail)

Big shoutout to the Mayor of WeFoCo (aka @Blind Date) for gracing us with his presence today. For him, it’s always #campaignSZN, so I appreciated him making the rounds to make sure YHC didn’t mess anything up at this WeFoCo staple.

Thanks to @Adobe for the EH/nudge to Q at this prestigious AO. It was an honor to lead these fine men today. The keys are likely somewhere in the middle of the parking lot. I prob dropped them as I was slow-sying(?) back to return my block.
