Well we braved -10/15 something windchill and it honestly wasn’t that bad. Looking forward to tomorrows Q getting out there again and hopefully we get as great of a turnout!
Awesome seeing 9 guys out there choosing the right pill today 🙂
Shout out to Mr. Incredible and Fat Tire I haven’t seen them in a while! Way to get out on a day like this. Coffee was great, Incredible and I actually hung out there til ~9. I will say this was not a creative Q in the slightest but it suited the needs of the day and those bear crawls at the beginning were no joke. After doing impossible half mile this weekend and nearly that the day before my shoulders were shot as were Optimus and OCBs I’m sure! 65 Meters uphill 3 times!
Keep on getting up and getting out there men! Have a great Monday

BACKBLAST: Saturday, 01/18/24 MacGyver @ The Hub
QIC: HHH
PAX: Mickey Tints, Heisenberg, The Mick, 2005, Dr. Freud, Peyton, Class Act, Fat Tire, Boo Boo, and HHH.
We had 5 ruckers. During the ruck we found a rabbit’s front leg along the MO7S curb and Heisenberg had a brown bear attack around 0640. Luckily he maide it back in time for the beatdown. The wind was cold so we utilized the areas of the Hub where there was non. Here is what we did.
Warm Up
SSH (20 IC)
MNC (15 IC)
Bean Pickers (10 IC)
IST (10 IC)
Hillbillies (10 IC)
8 Ct. Body Builders (10 IC)
Light Pole Lap
The Thang
Grab 5 sandbags and mosey to Dumpster Lot and then we decided to go to the south lot by the back hill.
90 sec timer (PAX performing exercise when the timer goes off has to do 5 burpees)
PAX that got stuck with the sand bags had to do penalty burpees as well.
Instead of standing around, all of the safe PAX did 1 burpee.
Time Bombs (No count. Next PAX goes when PAX before finishes rep)
– Burpees (Low Plank Start)
– Mike Tysons (High Plank)
– Sandbag Pull-Throughs (L+R) (High Plank)

– Pull Up burpees (Al Gore)
Trail Lap

PAX 2: AMRAP Sandbag Burpees
Mosey to Flag
Mary
Plank for about a minute
Moleskin
Surprised to see this Q still open earlier in the week since they get snatched up pretty quickly most months. Also, surprised to see so many still open. If you haven’t Q’d in a while, please grab one. 1 a month is a great goal!
I thought this Q would be fun, but adding the sandbags and the compound exercises made it tough to really get enough reps in. I originally planned for 2 minutes, but I think that would have been good for only a few of the exercises like the pull ups. I wanted to do repeatos for both rounds, but I knew we wouldn’t have enough time. However, I did have to come up with the last couple of exercises on the fly which is not my forte. At least we were out of the wind for most of the workout so I will count this as a win.
9/10 pax made it to coffeeteria. Mickey Tints couldn’t make it, but he has a lot going on and family comes first. Some great book discussions at coffee and Fat Tire did make it back with his 2.0s to get some fellowship in.
If you have Monday off, try to post at Patmos or Col. Wheeler. Tuesday and Wednesday will be cold, but support the Q and show up. Layer up. They will keep you moving so you can stay warm. Can’t promise that, but that is my guess.
Thanks for letting me lead and for following along in my stupidity.

The goal was to get in at least 100 sandbag cleans throughout the morning slamming around the 60s. PAX were able to modify by doing deadlifts. There wasn’t much cardio, but we did a lot of carrying of the bags and coupons, and rocking out the cleans was hard work. I thought it was a good mix up on a chilly January morning. Always a pleasure doing stupid stuff with y’all. See you in the gloom.
