Month: November 2022 (Page 9 of 12)

When asked to Q The Goat, your response should be “why not!”. And that’s what YHC said when asked by Bubba Sparxxx, especially since YHC met the “less than 10 Qs” for the New Q November movement. Today marks #9 for 2022, so guess who will be volunteering for more.

After the pledge and the requisite warmup, the Pax moseyed to the train bridge for the wall experience. A bit of wall sitting, then 10 hip slappers I/C, followed immediately with 10 Australian MCs I/C. Perfect timing as the train rolled over us, so 5 burpees for the train!

For the main event, YHC called Route 66, but modified it to Route 666. This usually means triple the number of exercises (so we did merkins, squats, and LBCs), but also 2x the reps. This meant 2 to 22 reps instead of 1 to 11. The Pax pushed hard, so there was easily enough time to squeeze in a reverse Route 666, same exercise, 1x reps from 11 to 1. Food for thought for your next Q at The Goat… There are 22 light poles between the upper lot by the tracks and the entrance to the island’s back parking lot.

The back lot is nice and flat, and long, maybe 100 yards, just the right distance for suicides, Orangeman style. All that means is some exercise thrown in as you traverse back and forth, slapping the ground as any good suicide drill would have. From the start, mosey to light pole 1, do 10 Freddy Mercs, run back to start. Mosey to light pole 2, stopping at #1 for Freddy Mercs, continuing on to #2 for more Freddy Mercs, stopping at #1 again for Freddy Mercs, then heading back to the start. Last round…head to the far end stopping at #1 and #2 for, you guessed it, more Freddy Mercs, before heading back to the start, again stopping at #2, then #1. Checking the time, YHC deemed there to be enough time for another set of suicides, giving the Pax an opportunity to step up and call the exercise. Lo and behold, young buck, Buckshot called out Moroccan Nightclubs. YHC feigned short term deafness until old fart Tesla yelled burpees. It was a lot of work, but all Pax finished the suicide of 5 burpees, so we moseyed back to the flag.

When asked to Q Crossroads, your response should be “why not!”. And that’s what YHC said when asked by Purple Haze.

It’s Crossroads… some rucked, most ran, and then we discussed Shared Leadership, without coffee (better be the last time that happens!). Wirenut did share donuts, and we all shared some good fellowship.

I took us out. I enjoying praying with and for the guys. Make it a habit to pray and talk to the lord daily. It is important that we take things to the lord for His guidance and perspective rather than getting a worldly perspective on our situation. God always has the answer for our good and His glory!!

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Gratitude Merkins:

Circled up & holding plank position, each pax expressed gratitude for specific blessings and then we celebrated with a merkin (7 total)

There was much to be grateful for so we went around a second time, and the responses became shorter (7 total)

Even though our cores were burning there was still more to be grateful for so we did a 3rd round and this time the answers were very short but we made it through (7 total)

We then did a couple minutes of footballs drills (up/downs) on Q’s command starting with fast feet and after a few rounds we replaced the fast feet with high knees & T’s (arms straight out & parallel to the ground while doing high knee runs)

Mosey around parking lot & back to bridge where we bear crawled across

We grouped up at the halfway point under the street lamp for 100 burpees as a group

Mosey to playground & around, then stopped at the monkey bars for group exercises:

100 group pullups

100 group merkins

100 group pullups

150 group merkins

100 group pullups

6 minutes left so we headed back to start but couldn’t resist doing a final bear crawl back across the bridge

We had a minute left when we got back start so we finished with 20 Bobby Hurleys and 5 burpees
