12 total showed up for a little QvQ practice for YHC. I’m testing out some ideas for the upcoming competition. It was a wonderfully warm February afternoon. For all of those that complied with my request to let your cars run all day back when it got really cold, thank you!

Warmup:

Sealjacks ic x 10

Don Quixotes ic x 10

Merkins position for about 45 seconds then 5 Merkins ic

Mosey to get a block and over to the parking lot……good grief!

Tha Thang:

P1 runs a lap around the parking lot. P2 starts doing reps. 3 blockees, 6 merkins, 9 squats. Rinse and repeat until your partner gets back. We did this for about 10 minutes.

After that we lined up along the curb just past shoulder width apart. The person at the beginning of the parking lot bear crawled to the end of the line and got back in place. Then the next person started bear crawling. Everyone else held the Al Gore pose. Picture an indian run but much slower. We did this fully through several rounds until we got to the other end of the parking lot. It was very amusing. We had slow bears, slower bears, and even a happy bear.

Spread out in the parking lot and get on a line for a parking space. Do 1 merkin on the line then plank crawl sideways to the line on the other side of the space. Now do 2 merkins. Go back and forth adding 1 merkin each time going up to 10.

Following the same method as above we did WWI situps and sidewinder crawls.

Next we used the same method as above but used 2 parking spaces lunging in between and doing squats on the line.

After that we moved back over to our blocks for the finale. Do 2 thrusters….ugh good grief! Then do 2 burpee block jump overs. Continue this going up by 2 reps each time until you get to 20. Well actually we ended due to time. I think I made it to the round of 12.

COT:

Pledge

Namerama

Announcements-Extinction run 3/4, Community foundation/SFN 4/1 get signed up

Moleskin:

Not too bad today. Just some ideas that popped in my head I thought we could test out. You may see parts of these show up in a QvQ near you. Or not, you don’t really think I’d show my cards before we compete, do you? Comeout to Midoriyama on 3/9 to watch me break Broke. If you are looking to push some rocks these QvQ’s are going to be a good place for it. Everyone is going to be bringing their A game so it’s likely to be hard. If you’re not, then meow somewhere else.
