Not every idea is a keeper – Q vs Q at The Sword


20 Pax at The Sword today, including regulars from other AOs that kindly converged (Arnie’s Army, Titan, and Gambini’s OTB Swole garage workout). It went something like this:

Turnpike first.

WARM-O-RAMA + disclaimer given. Partner up for:

  • Push blocks across / Lunge walks
  • Flip flop
  • Wheelbarrow walk 
  • Flip flop
  • Combine the ideas! Wheelbarrow block push! Meh…not every idea is a keeper. That also served as a free Q lesson. #wisdom
  • OH block press / elbow plank
  • Flip flop
  • Jump over your block / elbow plank
  • Flip flop
  • Combine the ideas! Block burpees with a jump over your block / elbow plank
  • Flip flop

Partners run in opposite directions, meet and do 5 Burpees. Repeat-o with 4, 3, 2, and 1.

Hand off to Mr. Tammy Faye

Some stretching.

Parter 1 does: 5 pull-ups, 10 Dry docks, 15 squats, 20 Mericans. Partner 2 runs. Flip flop.

Repeato that ^ idea but with: 5 Burpees, 10 jump squats, 15 jump lunges (each leg!), 20 Mericans. Mosey towards the Church walls by the basketball hoops.

Partner 1 does 20 dips, 20 incline Mericans, then walk sits while partner 2 runs.

Flip flop. 
Repeat-o.

On the 2nd iteration, Tammy Faye graciously baked in time to return the blocks. That’s an integrity move right there!

Moleskin:

  1. Prayers up for an in law in Peart Plus’s family, for Crabby, Olive, and all the Pax dealing with aging parents.
  2. Thank you Tammy Faye for a fine morning and for not picking Arnie’s Army as the AO. That would’ve been quite the home field advantage!
  3. Saw Ping on the route 63 bus to uptown!
  4. Stray asked the Qs who would take his block, thus securing his vote. Being men of integrity, Tammy Faye and I both declined.
  5. Lol just kidding. YHC wore my Eric Rowell shirt under my George Bell shirt in the most shameless attempt to get votes in the history of our Q vs Q matches.
  6. One vote YHC probably did not get: Troll. He works in asphalt and we really disrespected it today!
  7. Good to meet Swiftie today. I don’t care what people think, I’m a Swiftie too.
  8. Chose Toxic as a partner because I knew he’d do all the dumb and questionable things!
  9. Thank you Scrappy for making this happen and thank you Ping for letting us use your AO.
