INTRO:

Cool, breezy, and a chance of rain are all perfect ingredients for a perfect beatdown. 23! Yes, 23 HIMs showed up this morning. It’s been a while since YHC had the pleasure to lead a crowd this big. No time to waste, let’s mosey!

WARM-O-RAMA:

Short mosey to the football field where we circled up. No FNGs so let’s get this train moving

10x SSH
10x Copperhead Squats
OYO Sun Gods

The PAX lined up on the edge of the end zone for some sprints. Starting position was on your back with feet pointed towards the opposite end zone. On the command ‘exercise’ the PAX were to sprint to the 50yd line. This routine was performed 3 times. Now that the PAX were nice and warmed up it was time for the real fun…

THE THANG:

A modification of a routine that Homeboy did a few weeks ago at The Chatterbox, this exercise was altered to include MORE running. Some PAX were confused (Legionnaire), but once we started all became clear. First step, choose a partner. Next the breakdown of the exercises:

100 Merkins
200 Big Boi Situps
300 Monkey Humpers
400 Squats

All exercises are cumulative (you add your reps to your partners). In order to increase distance YHC imposed the 10% rule. The PAX could only perform 10% of the reps at one time (ex. 10% of 100 merkins is 10 per PAX). Once the reps were completed, the PAX would jog on the track in OPPOSITE directions until they met up again on the other side where they would pick up where they left off. Example:

2 PAX start running in opposite directions on the track. Once they meet on the other side they EACH perform 10x Merkins (10% of 100). This is a total of 20x Merkins. PAX start running again and meet up on the other side of the track to perform 10x Merkins EACH (They have now completed 40x Merkins from the 100 total). Each exercise would yield 5 rounds of running using the 10% rule.

Running short of time no PAX completed the routine, although C4 and Quagmire got dangerously close (no surprise there). YHC went around to sweep up the sixth man while Spock led the PAX at the flag in some popcorn Mary. With the final moments the PAX went through flutter kicks (Legionnaire), crunchy frogs (Mickey), quick count Merkins (Tebow), X’s and O’s? (Aquaman), and J-Lo’s (C4). And time!

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Name-o-rama, 6th man (MaBell). Prayers for Cricket and family and the family of Darth Visor. Praying for safety with the upcoming storm and for health and wellness for all PAX.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Really appreciate the accountability from Garf. Keep trolling brother! It has been mentioned several times in the coolers this morning already, but the mission here to grow together and make each other stronger in every aspect (physical, mental, spiritual). I am proud to be a part of each and every piece of F3 from the twitter shenanigans to the CSAUP events. I challenge each and every PAX to step outside your comfort zone whether that be joining us on a Ruck, signing up for a CSAUP, or just visiting an AO you have been to before. To quote the phrase that I threw out earlier let’s invest in “Mutually Assured Construction”.
