Today was my first solo Q School and it occurred out at The Station. I don’t really get nervous anymore before Qs but for some reason for Q school this morning I was a little nervous. For those who have not been out to this AO you need to get out there, it is a great location with some great guys. I was excited that it was not freezing and raining like the last time I went out there! Medball had asked if I would come out to do a Q School awhile back and I had not realized it was on Valentines Day. They apparently wanted ole Powder to be their Valentine, “isn’t that sweet?!?!” What they did not know was I was going to bring BLIMPS & some Bricks. Here we go:
Warmup- ATT, Smurf Jacks, Windmills, SSH (All IC X15)
The Thang-
-BLIMPS w/ Partners. P1 Runs down to bench below playground and do 5 Starjumps flap jack in between each excercise. P2 does AMRAP of Burpees, Lunges, Imperial Stormtroopers, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats.
-On short wall Incline Merkins IC X10, Step Ups IC X20, Tricep Dips IC X10
-Brick work. Overhead Press IC X15, Arm Extension IC X15, Curls IC X20, Lunge Twist IC X20, Wonderbra IC X20
5mins of Mary- American Hammer and LBCs IC X10 w/ bricks. Box Cutters IC X10, Freddy Mercury IC X10
WOD- Proverbs 4:25
Highlights-
-Talked to PAX about what F3 stands for, what the 5 core principles are, and what the mission of F3 is.
-Discussed proper Q etiquette: Always start and end on time, always have more on your wienke than you think you need, “Can’t Do it Don’t Q it”, it is not a competition between PAX just yourself, & don’t watch another man work
-Fun stuff: BJ posted in Conover and apparently has never seen Moana. It did not take long when discussion of sunscreen came up why I have the name Powder. HeyHey actually had heard of what I do for a living (most people hear USDA and think I inspect meat). Medball was on a week long cruise and got the stomach bug the last day, sounds like someone needed a few more days to rest up. Apparently they have the same jogger come right by every Tuesday and Thursday without saying a word or acknowledging them. HeyHey and Spreadsheet called out their 1st exercises and did a great job!
I am starting to feel like Cuz Eddie with this long BB and the rambling, it must be a 1st F thing. I doubt anyone is still reading this besides Cuz because he is on the IR and dying to get back out. But… I had a great time visiting a different AO with a bunch of great guys. Keep getting after Station Boys!!! I will definitely be coming back out to visit
