First lesson in Q School: test your A/V. Always test your A/V.
Second lesson in Q School: don’t get sidetracked when Bone points out that it’s 69 and moist.

So it was a little warm and humid. And a good day for for a Mullet Q. Some hard work up front, and a party in the rear.

Happy to have Motorboat (Indianapolis) join us, at least to prove that I was a real person and not a fake online account. And FNG Deliverance rocked the workout.

WARMUP: SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies, copperhead squats, cherry pickers, willie mayes hays, moroccan night clubs, tempo merkins, downward dog, WGS

THE THANG:
Part 1: Ten minutes of fun. With an EMOM timer (ahem) the PAX did 5 burpees to start the minute, then tried to do max no cheat merkins. The number they could do before the minute was up was your minute score. Their final score was the lowest minute score. From the mumblechatter it was clear that the PAX really enjoyed this.

It’s also a preview of a coming EC challenge we’ll be adding to Tues/Thurs AOs. A different 10 minute EC workout before or after the regular Q. More to come.

Part 2: Legs. Lunge walk to the 10, 10 bonnie blairs. Lunge to the 20, 20 sumo hops, lunge to the 30, 30 smurf jacks, lunge to the 40, 40 monkey humpers, lunge to the 50, 50 BWS.

Part 3: F3 Ultimate. Lights smoked the darks. I forgot the score, it was something like 73 to 1.

MARY: American hammers, dirty dogs, downward dog, WGS

ANNOUNCEMENTS: boneathon, murph, convergence, see the channel

COT: Take care of yourself. Also take care of your aging loved ones. Encourage them to stay active. When you visit, go for a walk or take them to the mall or a museum with the grandkids – help them stay out and about.
