Date: 03.10.2026

PAX: @Subfloor @ziggy stardust @sunshine @Nelly @D-Day @Wahoo @Zima @Slowpitch @Blind Date @Adobe @Superfly @Truck bed @Boomerang @dr. toot @Head Hunter @Tonka @Tammy @cruiser

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE????!!!!!!

YHC has been racking his brain lately for some fun competitive alterations to our every day beatdown. Enter: SWT podcast ep. 23 QvQ challenge

This was a no brainer and with enough concentrated force at the WeFoCo and Central Dash, we even had a budding rivalry at the ready. Quick DM to some fine, upstanding siteQs, itching to represent their AO and the domain from which they hail, and the stage was set. Marchliament Madness would determine who is the biggest, baddest Q in DashPAXland and give him the chance to raise the banner whence he came.

THE FIELD:

3/3 – BLOWBACK – @Zephyr  vs @Rollback
3/10 – CASE OF THE MONDAYS – @cruiser  vs @Tammy
3/17 – WARDEN WARGAMES – @Subfloor vs @van.gogh
3/24 – BLIND, BEANS, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA – @FrankandBeans vs @Blind Date
3/31 – FINALE – @Rollback et. al.

THE FORMAT

• ~5min Intro/WRM from YHC
• 2 Qs split remaining time alternating turns in 10min increments to lay the hammer
• PAX in attendance vote to determine the winner at conclusion of the beatdown via 3 voting categories: Creativity, Suck, Delivery/Execution
• Winner advances to Championship Round

• 4 winners from 1v1 rounds face off
• Same voting format to crown the overall winner the Biggest Baddest Q in all of DashPAXlandia

ROUND 2: A CASE OF THE MONDAYS – @cruiser  vs @Tammy

0440: Marchliament Murph brought to you by @Head Hunter kicked off the morning. YHC and HH both seemed to be on the same wavelength this morning rolling in hot on two wheels right at the strike of launch. @Zima and @Inspector Gadget patiently await us to hit the pavement and we’re off. The algorithm prompted the topic of AI as it’s wont to do.

Arrive back to the AO to find several HIM had already retrieved and staged the coupons near launch. Circle up with some warm greetings amongst friends and YHC brought the WRM.

WRM

Again, zero intel provided on which body parts would be needed for the 40 minutes that would follow WRM. The texts were just as ominous as @cruiser simply asked, “Will you cave to the peer pressure to take that vest off? I have a strategy 😈” Nightmares notwithstanding after I somehow mustered the courage to still show this morning.

WHIRLY

STRETCHY

PLANK (regret for this incoming)

MERKINS

IST

@subfloor wanted to know if he could vote on my failure to recite the MS and CP. He was obliged to make up for my demerit before we proceeded.

THANG 1 – @Tammy

Tammy got the show on the road with a strong music game out of the gate. Loud and crisp. Something about “touch it” while we…

TWIT – hold plank and touch where I touch

• RIGHT SHOULDER
• LEFT SHOULDER
• RIGHT HIP
• LEFT HIP
• RIGHT ANKLE
• LEFT ANKLE
• …WHEREVER YOU WANT TO TOUCH NEXT

PARTNER UP – YOU GO | I GO

• PARTNER 1 – BEAR CRAWL BLOCK PUSH OUT AND BACK 4 SPACES
• PARTNER 2 – JUMP SQUATS
• FLIP FLOP
• REPEATO

Tammy is hilarious and as much as this absolutely sucked, it was brilliantly delivered and had many layers. Wish I captured all the calls and commentary. Quick thinking on the feet as well to pivot to partner work after the quick maths showed blocks would run short. The you go, I go was unfun and felt like it would never end. More than a few PAX lamented YHC’s warmup plank holds after this evolution.

THANG 2 – @Cruiser

10MIN AMRAP

• 5X BURPEES
• 10X MERKINS
• 15X THRUSTERS
• BEAR CRAWL BLOCK PUSH 5 SPACES
• CRAWL BEAR BLOCK PULL 5 SPACES BACK
• KICKER – BLOCKEES UNTIL THE 6 IS UP…….
• REPEATO
• EACH SUCCESSIVE ROUND – ADD 5X REPS TO THE EXERCISES

First of all, YHC was already gassed after @Tammy’s you go, I go. To that, you add the psychological warfare that @cruiser unleashes on me by two-timing us on the bear crawl block push AS WELL AS the burden of your friend’s suffering to do blockees while you’re slow butt dragged through the exercises. Well played, my friend. Well played. This all proved too much for YHC and the vest was off before the first bear crawl.

THANG 3 – @TAMMY

RING OF FIRE MUSICAL – WICKED “POPULAR”

• WWII THROUGHOUT – AMERICAN HAMMER EVERY “POPULAR”

The hilarity of this was too much. Crowd pleaser and the Q blazed through with bold confidence. A+. @Drama Queen got a hat tip for the musical inspiration. This was ALMOST a burpee ROF with a burpee instead of American Hammer. The workout would have been over there had that happened.

GROUND TRAVERSE – MOT ACROSS PARKING LOT AND EXERCISE AT EACH LINE

• BROAD JUMP | JUMP SQUAT
• LUNGE WALK | JUMP SQUAT

MARY FINISHER

• LOW FLUTTER
• HTH

“Popular” started playing a few seconds into the Mary round and @Tammy spared the PAX a second dose.

THANG 4 – @Cruiser

10 MIN AMRAP

• BROAD JUMP OUT AND BACK 4 PARKING SPACES
• # OF JUMPS = # OF REPS FOR CALLED EXERCISE
  1. WMD MERKINS
  2. BDE BURPEES
  3. LT. DAN THRUSTERS
  4. SOMETHING I DIDN’T DO
  5. IDK AND IT DOESN’T MATTER NO ONE GOT THIS FAR

@Cruiser decided to take the route of stringing all the hardest exercises together and forcing his friends to do it without remorse. With a little more than a minute to go, the PAX were so wasted we just waited for time to expire.

TIME

MARY

none.

COT

@Cruiser took the guys out while YHC tallied the ballots.

THE RESULTS

Division ScoreCard

WeFoCo – 1  |  DashCentral – 1

NMM

@Subfloor can certifiably recite the mission statement on the spot while holding plank and under pressure.
@ziggy stardust is bringing his saber next week to demonstrate the proper whetstone technique
@Sunshine didn’t even look like he broke a sweat by the end. One man’s hateful horrible is another’s easy breezy
@Nelly attributes the bean ballot conspiracy to PAX dumping extra votes in @cruiser’s suck category for that horrible beatdown
@D-Day’s inner math teacher got triggered by YHC’s disproportionate bar graph
@Wahoo baptized Adobe’s truck bed with coffee and water
@Zima has an opinion about which AI chatbot you use and PSA “It’s in your best interest to use polite manners with the robot overlords”
@Slowpitch had no blocks in the trunk today due to his wife’s payload of clothing cargo. AKA the practical real life coupon.
@Blind Date attempted to EH YHC to the “Widowmaker” block, but my subconscious refused to acknowledge. Sometimes you’d rather be a scaredy-cat than dead.
@Adobe gave a knowing nod to YHC’s ACH clearing for the power bill when the lights reappeared. #SiteQProbs @subfloor’s real bean counter services needed to manage this operation
@Superfly rolled up and rolled out in the white sequoia like Monday Repeats was just another day at the office for him.
@Truck bed’s bulwark presence made the PAX feel safe in the dark parking lot
@Boomerang protected the sanctity of the polling system and pulled out a few canned lima beans a PAX brought in from home to stack the votes.
@dr. toot has a fever and the only prescription is more burpee broad jump
@Head Hunter gets happier the harder the workout is
@Tonka feels targeted
@Tammy would have stole the day if Mercy were a voting category. The man almost called a ring of fire burpees/jump squats, but pivoted to WWII/American Hammer for the “Popular” show tune feature. We would have lost many good men today if it were not so.
@cruiser will be giving out VI points to all PAX present given it was a deja vu Monday workout. Right? #loophole
@inspector Gadget figured out his AI bot’s love language and they’re very happy together

Next week, we have “WARDEN WARGAMES” where @Subfloor and @Van.gogh fire up an Alcatraz tug of war on St. Patty’s of all days. Come out and see what these guys have in store.

Peace,

Tonka
