For the past year or more, people have been telling Pink and myself that we should “totally team up and Q The Wall.” More than just a quirky play on names, this turned out to be quite the event. AO site Qs RG3 and Mothman really went all out. They put up fliers and even made us a hype video (found here: https://youtu.be/9KcwVqaxx-c). All in all, 35 glorious PAX rolled in for this beatdown. We had some chill Pink Floyd tunes on in the background and even one FNG.

The Thang
The PAX moseyed to the tennis courts for some low-to-the-ground fun. The PAX split into three groups (due to the size) and each went to a different court to make it 4 times around:
-1st trip around: Bobby Hurley Floor Slappers. We all decided we hate Bobby Hurley so they were renamed Ed Cotas (but I don’t recall him being a big floor slapper)
-2nd trip: Bear crawls
-3rd trip: Crawl bears
-4th trip: Traveling burpees
After a short trip to the picnic area, everyone teamed up. While one man did dips, the other did monkey humpers:
Set 1: 30 of each single count
Set 2: 30 each
Set 3: 35 of each for good measure. It was no picnic.
Everyone then completed 10 donkey kicks before Pink turned the reigns over to Floyd. The show went on!
The Thang:
Partnered Wall Beast
Mosey to the Great Wall. PAX were split into 2 groups and then asked to partner up, size doesn’t matter.
During this set of exercises, one partner will be doing a set of the exercies while the other “rests” on the wall. The Beast is a series of 6 stations, doing 6 reps at each station, 6 total sets. Mode of travel between cones changes each set. After each set, the partners switch positions.
Set 1: PAX 1 rests with “balls to the wall.” PAX 2 does Run and Merkins x 36.
Set 2: PAX 1 does “people’s chair.” PAX 2 does Bear Crawl and Carolina Dry Docks x 36
Set 3: PAX 1 rests with Balls to wall. PAX 2 Runs and does Air squats x 36
Set 4: PAX 1 does people’s chair. PAX 2 does crab walk and WWII situps x 36
Set 5: PAX 1 does balls to wall. PAX 2 does Lunge Walk and Box Jumps x 36
Set 6: PAX 1 does people’s chair. PAX 2 does Run and Merkins x 36
