Crazy Time Gets Legit

8 Pax said screw sleep and showed up at 4:30AM to get an extra beat down in on a humid Friday morning. Extra kudos to Yellow Card – YHC certainly wasn’t waking up at 4AM to work out at 15.

No FNGs, so we went off and did our thing:

1 mile

100 Pullups

200 Merkins

300 Squats

1 mile

Various set patterns per usual – shout out to Skidmark for doing the first 10 sets at 10 pullups/10 merkins/15 squats and then finishing from there. Getting stronger bro.

We had a quick CoT and then (most of us at least) went off to our regularly scheduled 2nd beat down of the morning.

Based on three weeks of good attendance in a row Crazy Time is now a thing!

Aye! ~ Pikachu

Nemo – My #1 Fan

Pax of 17 showed up in the stifling late week heat as the summer solstice was taking place at Middle Creek as Nemo was back on the Q. Not sure it counts as FNG but the Nemo fan made an appearance to stress the message of importance about hydration and exercising responsibly during the summer heat.  EC credit to 187 (check that pace), Skidmark and Crosby.

Warm Up: On the jog we headed around the main fields but veered off down the greenway and circled up along the main road for SSH ICx15, Good Mornings ICx10, Fazio Arm Circles ICx10 front and reverse, and a series of arms/shoulders/chest stretch.

The Workout: On the jog we headed to the wood rails along the entrance to the start and set up shop for a round of assisted deep squats offset with merkins.  10 count of each and we went 5 rounds. Included a bonus 5 burpees in the middle as H1N1 rolled up a couple minutes late.  On the jog around to what I like to call the lower lot, we set up on the benches for a round of dips offset with squat jumps and merkins. 10 count of each and we went 4 rounds with a recover jog around the lot between rounds 2 and 3. On the jog back to the main field we set up for SSH ICx30 then a round of Jack Webbs at a 1:3 ratio (1 merkin then 3 air press). We pushed this to a 10:30 count.

Mary: Plank-o-rama with plenty of time to work in some tough exercises, each man on a 10 count or IC.

Announcements: Nemo will be out the next 2 weeks so Tha Natural has your Q next week and Yogurt has your Q the week after. July 4th convergence will be at Disney.  Plenty of great options Fri so post (EC Murph at Womble, Crazy Ivan, Cletus, Sheepdog all in play).  Reminder to exercise smart in this heat – be aware of your condition and rest as needed, hydrate throughout the day.

Prayers: A reminder to take time to listen to others and see any signs.  Praise for how F3 guys step up as needed, for each other and for the community.  Plenty of unspoken.  YHC took us out in prayer.

Possum Trot -Fun with Rocks

Pax of 17 came out to PT in the gloom this morning

Warm up:

SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good mornings, Fazio Arm Circles, arm stretches and a warning that you’ll need them

The Workout:

All Pax grab a rock and line up on one side of the road

11’s with the rock (brief pause and move away from the houses)

1 merkin with left arm on the rock, bear crawl push the rock to the other side and do 10 squats with the rock, carry the rock back across.  2 merkins with right arm on the rock, bear crawl push the rock to the other side for 9 rock squats.  Rinse and repeat etc.  As always, PICK UP THE 6 when done.

Jog back to the warmup circle and set the rocks down

Set my phone as a marker for the point position who gets to call a 10 count of whatever rock exercise they’d like.  After each 10 count, put the rock down and rotate to the right until a full 17 man rotation is complete.

return the rocks and head to the courts for Mary

Mary:

Circle up for a similar circuit, each pax gets a 5 count of their choice.  Some chose to do a 5 count of 5 count merkins (25 total).  Ended up doing 150 merkins in the regular workout, some pax did EC with 30 more after the workout for good measure.  Q and Pax were sufficiently smoked at the end of the workout.

Announcements:

Pain truck next week at PT, Wrangler will have his VQ the following week at PT, PT is cancelled on the 4th of July in favor of supporting the convergence.

100 mile ride on Saturday – see Double D if you can make it

Prayers – I closed us in prayer, asked for guidance and to help us be better men, brothers, husbands, and fathers.
