Hot Potato Q Training

Your Humble Correspondent (YHC) pulled up in the gloom and saw only one other car in the parking lot of Twin Team. Being the first time back to Twin Team after a COVID hiatus year (almost on the 2 year anniversary of my first post Apr 12, 2019), YHC was hoping for larger numbers, but it was a great opportunity to get to know a newer PAX (Crash Test Dummy).

At 5:30, 2 PAX emerged from their vehicles and a hot potato was called, meaning CTD would get his first chance at leading (part of) a workout. Apparently other PAX have been encouraging him to consider signing up to Q, but this was probably not the day he was expecting to do it!

Oh well, no better way to learn than by doing! As the more experienced PAX (though still in hate years, at 39 – until August), YHC took the hot potato first.

THE THANG:

Mousetrap Q1:

Mosey to back of school for the disclaimer, and warm up:

• SSHs, Russian soldiers, don quixotes, windmills

Mosey to check for stragglers (there were none), then around to the playground for a “Mini Murph” (3 rounds):

• Pull-ups x10, merkins x20, squats x30

CTD Q1: (first ever!)

Mosey to bus loop for “Bus loop of pain”/ “5 corners”? Does a loop have corners?

• 5 stops around loop: 10 WW2s + 3 burpees at each stop (2 laps)

Mousetrap Q2:

YHC asked CTD if he liked sports/basketball – he said no, so as a joke, YHC decided to Mosey to basketball court for suicide “jump shots” to test his basketball skills.

• Suicides across the basketball court stopping to “shoot” 3 jump shots (jump squats) at each distance: Free throw line, half court, opposite free throw line, baseline

CTD Q2:

Mosey back to the flag for parking space animal suicides:  bear crawl out / crab walk back (2nd, 4th, 6th line)

Mousetrap Q3:

2 Minutes of Mary:

• Alabama prom dates x20
• LBCs x20

Circle of Trust (COT):

• Numberama (2!)
• Name-a-rama
• Announce-a-rama
• YHC closed us out in prayer

NMS:

It was a good beatdown, way better than YHC would have done if it was a solo workout! Thanks so much to Crash Test Dummy for posting this morning. Glad we could connect, and YHC was able to pass along a few tips about Qing and encourage CTD to continue posting and becoming a High Impact Man (HIM).
