Q Source Beatdown – 1/9/2021

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Splash, Alright Alright, Chairman Mao, Agnes, Special Sauce, Whoops, Dirtbag, Classified, Teasip, Kitty, Big Tex, DFib, Avril, Icebox, Nicky Roth, Siesta, Sound Machine, Cougar Bait, Plus One, Oatmeal
QIC: PowPow

AO: Burleson
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
One warm-up exercise for each Foundation Q Point

F1 Disruption: “Disturbance to the Status Quo”
Slaughter Starter – 20 Burpees OYO

F2 Language: “The Lexicon of Virtuous Leadership”
IST x 15 IC (During which Alright Alright explained to the PAX the meaning of a few words in the F3 Lexicon, I figured since he talks incessantly through the warm-up anyway, I might as well put his words to good use).

F3 Group: “A Voluntary Combination of Two or More People”
Native American run around park

F4 Leadership Development Process: “The Process Employed by a Group to Develop New Leaders”
SSH x 15 IC – Led by Big Tex

F5 Preparedness: “Getting Ready for the Expected While Being Ready for the Unexpected”
Mosey to field to get in position for Tha Thang

THA THANG:
As a group, five minute sets of five exercises, 1 minute AMRAP each. Four different sets of exercises, one for each quadrant of the Q Source. Exercises drawn from the fitness test. Run a lap around the park after each set

Q1 Get Right – The The Pursuit of Proper Personal Alignment
Burpees / Calf Raises / Ski Abs / Merkins / Squats

Q2 Live Right – Dedication to Purposefulness
LBCs / Carolina Dry Docks / Russian Hammers / Nipplers / Jump Squats

Q3 Lead Right – The Practice of Virtuous Leadership
Mtn Climbers / Shoulder Raises / Dollies / Hindu Merkins / Squat Jacks
* YHC cut the Hindu Merkins due to lack of time

Q4 Leave Right – Construction of Legacy
Groiners / Burpees / Burpees / Freddie Mercury / WWI Situp

MARY:
Done during workout, particularly Q4 as YHC Omaha’ed the Q4 set to Groiners/Freddie Mercury/WWI Situp, due to time (ie no Burpees).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Twenty-one PAX is probably an all time record for one of YHC’s Qs. It was an honor to lead today and thanks to the PAX for indulging me to run a workout that involved so much talking by the Q. I spoke a lot from the heart today because I am passionate about the Q Source because it can be such a positive force for improving men’s lives.

MOLESKIN:
It was a pretty cold day, so having a lengthy warm-up that was broken up by mini-speeches explaining the Q Source and the Foundational Q Points was a bit painful for the PAX I’m sure. YHC had originally planned to do a timed plank for F5 Preparedness, but scrapped that in favor of getting to the main part of the workout. Thanks to Alright Alright and Oatmeal for helping with the explanations of the three groups within F3’s leadership model during the Native American run.

Big Tclaps to Big Tex for stepping up to help demonstrate the Leadership Development Process (LDP), he had no advance warning that I would put him on the spot and he did very well – it’s time for him to begin preparing for his VQ, I think. The mistake he made in starting the count without saying “Exercise!” was perfect because it helped demonstrate the fourth step in the LDP (1. Schooling; 2. Apprenticeship; 3. Opportunity; 4. Failure). In F3 (and in all other dynamic, effective organizations) we don’t just accept failure as part of our development process, we court it. Failure is a critical part of the learning process.

The PAX found a mini-football on the field at Burleson and entertained themselves by throwing it back and forth across the 50 foot wide Circle of Pain while waiting for the lagging Q to announce the next exercise and get his timer started. Several PAX impressed the crowd with their throwing accuracy and tight spirals. The breaks between exercises and the fact that we stayed in a group almost the whole workout meant there was an enormous amount of Mummblechatter this morning – unfortunately YHC can’t remember jack sh*t, so it will remain unreported. You just had to be there.

Huge turnout for Coffeeteria at Bubba’s, despite the nearly freezing temps.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Q Source study launch
2. Splash’s fastest F3-er workout on January 20th – includes a clothing donation drive. Look for info on Band.
3. 4 x 4 x 24 CSAUP on February 5 – 6th – See Special Sauce’s post on Band (Notices section) and start preparing!
4. Texas Independence Day 18K CSAUP on March 6th – Mark your calendars!
5. Grow Ruck Alamo – April 9th – 11th – Mark your calendars and start learning what Grow Ruck is all about –

Black Diamond

#backblast #blackdiamond #attendancepost
PAX: Classified, Dirtbag, Icebox, Meatball, Oatmeal, Siesta, Special Sauce, Swiper
Q: Alright Alright
AO: Lindsley Park

WARMORAMA:
Side Straddle Hops x10
Imperial Storm Troopers x10

THA THANG:
The team has four bombs to diffuse. They must select a Captain to choose people for specific roles throughout the workout. They elected Icebox the Captain.

Run to Icebox‘s house. Diffuse Bomb #1:
20 Burpees & 20 Merkins for each PAX (PAX can share burpees). One PAX must do all 20 Burpees with the bomb (coupon). Another PAX must do 20 nipplers on the bomb instead of their merkins. (diffusers: Classified, Dirtbag)

Run to opposite side of Grand and up the hill to touch the guard rail. 5 Burpees for each PAX to kill the enemy that is shooting at us.

Captain Icebox was KIA. (He could no longer speak strategically, but was still responsible for his reps)

Oatmeal takes the lead. Appoints himself, but the PAX don’t disagree and there’s no time for argument or speculation of some possible friendly fire that might have taken Icebox out.

Run to Oatmeal‘s house. Diffuse Bomb #2:
Same Exercises (diffusers: Oatmeal, Special Sauce)

Captain Oatmeal was KIA.

Dirtbag takes the lead.

Run down Ash and down Santa Monica to the Santa Fe Trail to return to the battlefield at Grand. Repeato the fire fight.

Run to Icebox‘s house. Diffuse Bomb #3:
Same Exercises (diffusers: Special Sauce, Alright Alright)

The bomb needed to be delivered to the Combat Outpost for further investigation, so Captain Dirtbag sent Oatmeal and Special Sauce to take the bomb to Lindsley. Not sure how he got the dead man to do it, but we didn’t have time to discuss.

Run to Oatmeal‘s house. Diffuse Bomb #4 or not…. we were working through the diffusion when it was clear that we weren’t going to get it done in time, so we decided to get the bomb away from civilians and back to the Outpost to diffuse it. We arrived at the Outpost at 6:14 and were able to get some of our burpees done, but not all of them. MISSION FAILURE

Punishment for failing: 54 burpees (6 per PAX) and 180 merkins (20 per PAX). The PAX decided to complete these before COT.

Mission Totals: 3.78 miles (Strava told me it was a 7:57/mile running pace), 90 burpees and 80 merkins.

Thanks to the PAX for putting up with my creativity or lack thereof for this one. The goal of this Black Diamond workout was to put in some serious miles in preparation for the CSAUP on February 5th and 6th. Future Black Diamond workouts might be more stationary or involve shorter running distances. The key for Black Diamond is to get the whole group to push themselves beyond a regular workout.

Rump & Co. First Attempt at a “Black Diamond” Workout

Temp: 60°  
Weather: Little overcast but overall a beautiful post Thanksgiving day for a beatdown

Count-off & Name-O-Rama:
PAX:  Alright Alright, Teasip, Siesta, Prime Rib
QIC: Rump Roast

AO: Burleson Park

Disclaimer: Given 

Intro/ Warm-o-Rama
SSH x 1 (IC)
IST x 12 (IC)
Cotton Pickers x 12 (IC)

  

The Thang:
Mosey to the benches by the fountain
– 10x Erkins (IC, DC)
– 10x Squats (IC, DC)
– 10x Derkins (IC, DC)
– 10x Alternating Step-Ups (IC, DC)
 
Reap-O 3x… I was thinking this was a Dirty McDuece but, without looking it up that it may be 4-sets. Either way, the Double count was ambitious and none of us would have completed the 4th set! 
 
Mosey to the Quad
 
I’m going this workout Bear Crawl Dora! 
We partnered up and did – 
 
100x Merkins
200x Overhead Claps
300x Squats 
 
While one PAX did the exercises the other bear crawled across the center grass of the Quad, and across the sidewalk and back. We ran out of time on Squats, I believe Teasip and Shifty were in the 200’s and Bleep and myself we at 200 even. Moseyed back to the launch point
 

Circle of Trust (CoT):
YHC prayed us out

Playlist:
No music this morning

Moleskin:
I was extra motivated this morning for Shifty to give the disclaimer and lead the Warm-O-Rama. We had to prompt him a little on the disclaimer but did a great job. It wasn’t too far into my portion that Teasip proclaimed that he wished Shifty would have Q’d the entire work out! As soon as we started moseying to the benches it was clear my knee was hurting more than it has been. After the first set of step-ups I wanted to go home. So I modified my original idea of Jacobs Ladder to Dora Bear Crawl and I will tell you…. Between 200 Merkins the other day, @Arrrghhhhs beat down yesterday, 100x Burpees yesterday, and the Dirty McDuece it sucked! Everyone agreed! @Bleep announced that he officially hates Bear Crawling! Teasip on more than one occasion had some choice words, and even Shifty proclaimed this work out was the dumbest idea EVER! I took them all as a compliment! No doubt we ALL got better today. #acceleration #isi #giveitaway

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC thanked the PAX for being there with him these last 3.5 (or 4.5, YHC can never remember) years with F3 and the improvement YHC has made in fitness (tummy fat loss) and general manhood. YHC would not be where he is today, about to marry the woman of his dreams without F3. Thank you

MOLESKIN:
The jokes were funny and frequent of course. Several PAX mentioned YHC should only need about 3 reps of pickle pounders for the big night and there were probably wasn’t a need for any other type of exercise. During the Apple turnover, YHC mentioned to stop at second base, to which Sally and Draper responded “no now you can go all the way to home base” and the continuation of bases reached was asked to which YHC had no response. Draper requested I note these for the backblast, so feel free to comment if I missed some jokes. When lunges were announced, Draper had some not kind words for Oatmeal after their EC was apparently heavy on the legs with them carrying their coupon and ruck for over 2.5 miles. So #tclaps to them and PowPow (who had to leave early) for doing the EC. There was a heavy dose of Rump F-bombs today, which YHC always likes to hear since it means the workout is tough. The Double Merkin Burpees produced quite the groaning, as well as the burpee suicide. YHC appreciated everyone coming out to show support as YHC bids adieu to the single life.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Siesta VQ next Saturday, 8/22 at 0700. Come out and support him!
2. 2.0 workout to follow at 0900, should be about 30 minutes.
3. GrowRuck SA has been moved to the weekend of April 9-10

Double Omaha with a Tour de SMU Stairs

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, Draper, Flouride, Island Time, Pepper, Pow Pow, Siesta, Sound Machine, Special Sauce 
QIC: Teasip

AO: Burleson Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given, with the added COVID disclaimer

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 20, IST x15, Vegetable Pickers x12

THA THANG:
Omaha from the tennis court to the softball field for F3 baseball. Teams completed 40 or 60 of an exercise at each base. Doing all four exercises was a run. Each team had 2 runs and left guys on base. Exercises were: Merkins, Squats, LBCs and Burpees.

Mosey to the Quad where there was a graduate taking photos, so Omaha to the Engineering steps for Jacobs ladder with Squat jumps and Derkins. Quick feet on the stairs (both feet touch each stair)

We continued our Tour de SMU stairs with the other side of the engineering building which was a much bigger staircase so did 11’s with Carolina Dry Docks and Box Jumps onto the fountain. Stayed there after for 20 Dips OYO and 20 Irkins OYO. 

Mosey to the Pit of Misery for some abs (15 rugby sit ups, Uptown crunch x12) and some more box jumps up the stairs/amphitheater seats with 10 hand release merkins at the top (3 total rounds).

Native American run back to the park (thanks Sauce) and then a 4x5x4 (4 rounds of 4 exercises with 5 reps). Exercises were Dips, Swerkins, Pull ups and Dirkins. Ended right at 8 for COT.

MARY:
Done at the Pit of Misery

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed everyone out

MOLESKIN:

Some good EC with Alright Alright bear crawling a mile in 38(?) min, YHC bear crawling .6 miles and Pow Pow and Draper doing the Burpee Test and rucking 1.5(?) miles.

Lots of good mumblechatter this morning. Started off hot with Pepper strolling in looking like he chose to watch the entirety of the Mavs collapse against the Rockets, but #tclaps to him for posting this AM after watching that. That was followed by the Joe Kelly fan club proposing a re-enactment of the Kelly-Correa “faceoff” with Draper being Kelly and YHC (a big Stros fan) playing the part of Correa. The theme of Astros and cheating continued to the F3 baseball where Pepper accused the team of YHC, AA, and Island Time of cheating to which the observation was noted that YHC was a part of the team and thus that was the only explanation. 

The next plan was to park it at the Quad for a bit, but someone was taking graduation photos, so YHC decided to Omaha and explore some staircases. The PAX was going to go to the Pit of Misery (which YHC incorrecly called the Pit of Doom and was quickly corrected by Special Sauce who also wondered if YHC was a Bud Light guy. To which YHC answered that YHC is a fan of all free, cold beer, which has been Bud Light on occasion). The original plan was to just touch every stair, but that was potentially too easy, so we switched to quick feet/both feet every step. Except the stairs were rather small and per Alright Alright “we all have big feet. you know what that means?” to which YHC and Special Sauce quickly responded “yea we need big shoes and big socks”

We then had F3 Golf Talk officially unofficially sponsored by Lone Star (the official unofficial beer of F3 Dallas) to talk about dream pairings of Bryson with Patrick Reed or Brooks Kopeka. No ants were found in the Pit so we didn’t have to worry about free drops. 

Overall a good workout with lots of stair work and some Omahaing and YHC appreciated the PAX bearing with the changes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. GrowRuck in SA 9/19. Sign up ASAP!
2. F3 10th anniversary workout. No more coupon with picklejumper, but should still be a fun time. M’s and 2.0’s welcome!

3. F3 Dad’s and 2.0’s workout coming soon! Slushi posted a poll on band, so fill out which date works best for you.

Four corners of GO BLIMPS

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Draper, Oatmeal, Pepper, Sally, Sex Panther, Siesta and Amelia (FNG Brad Trosclair)
QIC: PowPow

AO: Burleson Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSHx15, ISTx10

THA THANG:

Three PAX (Draper, Oatmeal and AlrightAlright) volunteered in advance to help lead the workout. We divided into 4 teams, the team captains were these three PAX and YHC. Each team was named after one of the five core principles of F3. 

Mosey to quad by Dallas Hall. Each team occupied a “base” at one of the four points of the diamond-shaped set of pathways that surround the fountain of the quad – (1) at the time capsule in front of Dallas Hall; (2) end of path that runs SW from base 1; (3) end of path that runs SE from base 2 (ie south end of quad over towards the flagpole); (4) end of path that runs northeast from base 3.

Every 5 minutes minutes each team runs a lap around the bases (approx. 400m) and then when back to their home base performs AMRAP of an exercise. At the 5 minute mark, run another lap and move to the next exercise on the list.

Exercises: Groiners, OH Claps, Burpees, Lunges, ISTs, HR Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats  (GOBLIMPS)

At 0745 the squats were completed and the four teams met for some PAX-choise Mary at the fountain.

Mosey to the benches in front of the Airline garage. On benches: Derkinsx20, Dipsx20, Irkinsx20, Step Upsx20 each leg

MARY:
Also some mary back at Burleson. Best as I can remember we did LBCs, Heels to Heaven, Freddie Mercury and Crab Cakes,

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Amelia was given his name because he is a pilot.  Underrated joke that he dropped when AlrightAlright asked where he went to college “Just a small trade school in Maryland.” (Meaning the Naval Academy).  As a result he was almost named “Cadet”.

Thanks to all the HIMs who posted for the workout, conditions were unpleasant but YHC had a blast leading the group today.

MOLESKIN:
The team captains recorded the total reps performed by their team in each round (much easier said then done given the light rain coming down). “Open to all men” (Oatmeal and Siesta) came in first place, followed by team “Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold” (AlrightAlright and Sally). After that I believe third place was “Always Free” (Amelia, Pepper and YHC) followed by “Peer Led” (Draper and Sex Panther).  Tclaps to Oatmeal and Siesta!

CoT:

Announcements:
Texas Independance Day 18K comming up in 2wks

Mumblechatter:

The warm-o-rama had a lot of chatter that YHC self consciously took personally. So I decided to dole out some OYO Burpees to quiet the noise. Then we were off to the Quad and although our little clusters chatted it was much quieter. Once we got to the spot the chatter started again, especially, the fact YHC needed Oatmeal to explain the Wheel of Pain since even I had forgotten how awful it was. I heard about it that I didn’t have a speaker…. It was a rough crowd this morning! I believe Coach K would have been proud had he been present today. He was there in spirit.

I have to admit, I neglected to write everyone’s name down right after so I hope I didn’t leave anyone out. I also hope I got the FNG’s new names accurate. IT had been a while since I’ve lead a large group of men and it felt almost like a VQ. I hope I was able to mask that and pull off a solid beatdown. Until next week my friends!
