Introduction: As with most of YHC’s workouts, YHC tries to go thru the lexicon and come up with stuff he hasn’t seen done or obscure stuff he may have seen done once or twice. Sometimes it is pretty, most of the time it is not – the only difference is that usually 18 PAX aren’t there to witness it. YHC went way out of his comfort zone for this one……
The Exicon is here if you need it
4 PAX did an EC Run prior to the ME
Warmup: 530 rolls around and it’s time to goooooooooo!
SSH x 28 (28th day of the month)
Finkle Swings R & L Legs x 10 each
Willie Mays Hayes x10
Annie R & L Arm x10 each
The Thing:
Start with the Bataan Death March. 18 PAX = a fair amount of running.
Then Mosey to Garrett Road right in front of the church for 2 minutes of Big Sexy
Mosey to the steel pile, pick up steel. Go to first island. Put Steel on island – ultimate head fake, YHC has something else in mind……
Nope, never mind, YHC Changed his mind, pick steel back up:
Run to first Island OH Press x 10;
Run to Second Island Bicep Curls x10; Run to Third Island True Americans x10
Sprint back to starting island, air squat holding steel, wait for six. When six arrives, put steel down, Air Squared x10 Cadence Count
Put Steel down
Time for Bear Crawl Inch Worm – 18 PAX again, cover a lot of ground, but a crap ton of planking. YHC wanted to get to last island, but after all PAX went once, YHC called it – back to steel
Lunge walk to first island, OH Press x10; Lunge Walk to Second Island, Bicep Curls x10; Lunge Walk to Third Island, Rows x10; Sprint Back, Air squat with Steel for six, when six arrives, Air Squared Cadence Count x10. Rinse and Repeat – ended about 6:11.
Put steel back. Circle up in Parking Lot, get on six. 6:13 – YHC is tired of counting, 6″ leg hold until 6:15 (YHC gave pax a 10 second break halfway through)
Finito
COT/NMS:
Tuco announced he was turning the site Q over to misery after about 3 years. Really appreciated the opportunity to build up the leadership and watch the site grow. Tuco stated that Site Q’ing allows the opportunity for PAX to build leadership. Misery may be looking for a co-q; if interested let misery know.
The Bull, April 14. Information on Slack.
YHC took us out.
Looking at this Q, there are a lot of things YHC did right, but a few areas YHC could improve – YHC tries to start at exactly 5:30 and end at 6:15 because our time is precious, and “What’s a few extra minutes if you’ve already gone to 6:13?” But YHC strives for efficiency too. YHC’s double head fake to steel, not steel, steel again was a waste of a minute that didn’t need to happen.
Q’ing is an art, your ability to make sure it is doable for all the PAX who arrive as well as letting all PAX push themselves. YHC has not had experience Q’ing this large a group before, and that is probably why YHC didn’t run the workout as efficiently as possible.
All that being said though, our F3 PAX are extremely supportive. It’s okay to make mistakes and push yourself beyond your limits, it is the only way we improve. For those PAX that have been coming out 6 months or so, you’ve got the knowledge and the ability to Q. YHC waited almost 11 months and why? YHC was afraid. Fear can only hold us back, making yourself uncomfortable allows you to be comfortable in same and similar situations in the future.
YHC challenges all the newer PAX to look for an opportunity to lead.
F3’s real goal is to grow male leadership. The workout is simply the vehicle. The Growth in Churham has created many new sites and many new opportunites to lead – and the site Q’s will appreciate the help filling the Q Sheet.
Now is the time.
YHC gets off soap box and slowly backs away hoping nobody read this far
