Introduction

VQ!!!!

Beautiful 32 degree morning at The Ridge, perfect for my VQ.  Honored to have 20  HIMs show up and support me.  Directions may not have been the clearest but the PAX pushed on, for the most part.  A couple did the same exercise for about 10 minutes,  Blowout did about 100 blockees and I think saw Tourniquet drinking coffee during Thang 1.  But in the end I think we all ended up better than we started.

Warm-O-Rama

  • Good Mornings
  • Goofballs(in honor of Mr. Miyagi for referring to us all as goofballs)
  • SSH
  • Imperial Walkers

The Thang

Thang 1

Teamed up in groups of 4.  2 stations with 5 exercises at each.

Station 1:

  • 25 coupon chest presses
  • 25 upright coupon rows
  • 10 blockees
  • 25 coupon curls
  • 25 overhead presses

Station 2:

  • 25 plank jacks
  • 25 air dramas
  • 20 merkins
  • 25 Bonnie Blair’s
  • 25 mountain climbers

2 PAX from each “team” start at each station.  1 do exercise 1 the other run to the other station and relieve PAX doing exercises. Rinse and repeat until PAXs completed all 5 exercises  at both.(Ok, it still sounds a little confusing)

Thang 2

Mosey over to The Hill.  Group into teams of 3.

PAX 1 run the hill and back, PAX 2 hold plank, PAX 3 SSH.  Rotate up an exercise as PAX returned from the hill. Rinse and repeat

5 MoM

  • Freddie Mercury’s
  • Gas Pumps
  • Annies
  • LBCs
  • Ring of Fire – 3

Leading and what F# has taught me about leading

 

50+ posts later, here I am finally Q’ing a workout.
I still remember my 1st post and the original guys that were there, my OG’s. Parks and Rec, Lewinsky, Chop Shop, Mrs Doubtfire, Milton, Pi, Wilson, Apples, Urkel, Toasted Coconut, Cap, Half Price, Enron, Roach Coach (I think you gave me my name) and TPS you had the 6 so we spent some time together that morning. Since then I’ve worked out next to many others that have made impressions as well but I remember thinking that first morning, wow these guys are horses and what kind of cult is this. But it’s only a cult if you only follow, so it’s time for me to lead as well. Mary Parker-Follett said “the most essential work of a leader is to create new leaders”. Thank you all for readying me to lead you this morning, hopefully you don’t think it sucked too much. I’ve learned that More important than leading workout we also need to lead at home, at work and in our communities. We’re all OG’s to someone even if we don’t know it. There’s a co-worker/employee that looks to you. A friend that knows you’re the guy he can count on. To our M’s we’re the shoulder to lean on. And our 2.0’s think we’re the strongest/coolest people in the world, well at least until they’re teenagers. So, continue leading men!
