As it Turns Out…We did Have Phil Collins
The 4th Anniversary of Crazy Ivan, YHC had the pleasure to Q. So many great memories, at least for YHC for Crazy Ivan. After all, it was my first post ever in F3. Great guys like Nemo, Chips, Dauber, Dawgpound, and Dahmer have carried the torch for Holly Springs’ big Friday kettlebell workout. Thank you. YHC had joked in the pre-blast that Phil Collins would make the playlist, since I’d heard that Ivan had strayed away from the traditional metal playlist and got all soft. As it turns out, YHC was serious because I found a new use for Phil…see Mary!
FNG’s: no
Warm Up: Sir Fazios x 12 IC (F/R), Good Mornings x 12 IC, Imperial Walkers x 12 IC.
The Workout: Each man Cusacked his kettlebell to the end of the the long parking lot. We moseyed back to the end. We sprinted to get our kettlebell and did Wonderbra’s to certain points along the parking stretch. We repeated this until back to the official circle.
6 Exercise Tabata…the time is two PAX doing a certain Thang.
Thang 1: Carry our Atlast Ball (75 lb.) friend between 2 cones and do 5 merkins on the ball at one end and then return.
Thang 2: Farmer carry 2 45 lb. dumbbells to a heavy bag and do the DIY bench press x 15.
The rest of us in the circle did 3 round of each of these 6 exercises AMRAP: Halos, 1 Leg Deadlifts, Swings, Midget Love Handles, Midget Cookie Pouches, Snatch.
When finished we rolled over to the bandstand for a 10 count per PAX alternating People’s Chair and BTTW.
Mary: So YHC has tried to pull off some crazy stuff at workouts…but I can’t believe this worked and was well-received. Phil Collins – Take Me Home. We did Mary exercises during the verses including WW2’s, LBC’s, Dying Cockroach, American Hammers, Heel Taps, LSF’s, Freddie Mercury’s. These were done OYO. At the “I don’t mind” part, YHC would call for a plank hold. At the “Take…take me home!” part, YHC would call for a chill cut plank. It worked perfectly!

Why Don’t You Be OCD About Being on Time
No track work today. I guess guys love track work because only 3 bros showed up. Maybe guys are tired which doesn’t bode well for a potential solid BRR performance.
A challenge was placed to see if this would be harder than Paradise City on Monday. No one showed up for Tiger Blood, we’ll assume they were scared so Tiger Blood wins be default.
FNGs: None
Warm Up: 187 and I had to wait on Lipstick so we did a couple laps in the parking lot. SSH, merkins, and squats. Finally Lipstick was present so off we went.
