I wasn’t sure what to expect for my 1st Q. It was a rainy and cold morning, the day after a supposed to be icy and snowy day. I arrived 1st at 5:20 (I normally am 1 of the last) and waited for a few minutes for I hoped at least someone to show. Finally 1 car, then another, and another…. Next thing you know 9 brave Men showed up to make it 10 Men ready to bring it.

Thank you guys to put up with some of my made up exercise names (at least I didn’t say “Empire State Troopers” like I did in Q school). It was an honor to Q, and to be part of such a great group of men this morning!

      @Mutant- add in Blind Date & yourself for your 10 pax. Good lead sir. Couldn’t tell it was your VQ. Maybe “this sucks” is the same in any language? Didn’t matter, shoulder blocks or presses they still got the job done! Mumble Chatter took a while to show up but once the DingBuck pairing woke up it was ON! Nicely done!

    Good stuff, Mutant. Enjoyed it, except for the part during warm ups where Grizzly said I was dressed like a women’s volleyball player. WTF? It only took 20 minutes for me to muster a response, but better late than never. No spandex shorts on this brother EVER, only mud run compression socks!

      @Buckwheat- good response though about the Parka…..found out 1st hand that it needed to go about 10 minutes in

    And no worries on the made up exercise names, only Dingo wasn’t able to figure out what you meant. Silly Aussie!

    Great workout Mutant! You definitely had a nice mix of cardio and strength. Enjoyed it.

    Dingo – thanks for partnering up brother.

    Hey @Mutant, I was planning to be at your first Q. On Monday I went to the dentist on Monday and I got a temporary crown on my tooth. That evening, while biting down on a piece of chicken, I knocked my temporary crown off my tooth. It looks like your beatdown was a good one. I will be there next time when you Q.
