BACKBLAST: Tuesday, 12/12/23 Obligatory 12 Days of Christmas Beatdown @ The Hub
PAX: Heisneberg, Rusty, Jets, High Point, Scarecrow, Campbells, Dr. Freud, The Mick, Peyton, Optimus, Atticus, and HHH.
I wanted to make up for my last beatdown because I didn’t think it was up to par. I think I accomplished that although we probably needed 90 minutes to fit this all in. 12 pax got polar bear credit. Nice to have an FNG and 2.0 today as well. I think we got through 7 or 8 days of Christmas before I had to cut it short. Here is what I tried to fit in today.

Like I said, we got through 7 or 8 days and then I pivoted and went to the 12th day with 9 minutes to go. We around 6:16, but still had to return blocks and mosey back to the flag.
Messed up the shuffle merkin demo and the count on the first shuffle squat. Also, blinded pax with my high beam. Lastly, I didn’t record the first COT. Guess I need to Q more to shake off the rust. For those that don’t Q often, don’t let this be the reason to not Q. As you can see, the pax are forgiving and don’t really care. I am still going to find complex exercises because I really don’t care if I get made fun of. I like mixing things up because we need variety. The best variety comes from guys that do their first handful of Qs. Please sign up when you are ready, but expect some friendly nudging.
The Q-drenaline helped me get through all the reps and rounds, so I don’t know how tough this Q was. Murder bunnies suck, so I have to think it was unpleasant for all. Guess we will need to see if anyone stiffens up today/tomorrow or ask High Point.
Yesterday’s banter might have gotten a little carried away so I apologize if I offended anyone, including bystanders. I do enjoy busting balls, but don’t want to hurt any butts. I think it can come across as mean, but verbal abuse is my guy love language. Sorry gentlemen.
Finish the year strong and earn that polar bear patch. Winter is my favorite season. Once you get the layers right, you always get a good sweat and there are no bugs or humidity!
Don’t forget about the Angel tree kids and Wreaths Across America. Beer share at my house on the 28th, but come whether you drink or not for football and fellowship. Bourbon also seems to be on the drink menu. I’ll get some hop waters for people to try.
Gonna Q one more time this year. Expect some more heat, and I’ll keep the explanations down to a minimum. Just know the less I talk, the less recovery time you get.
Thanks for letting me Q and for coming out. It makes Qing that much sweeter and more enjoyable. Love you all. Be safe!
SYITG,
