Ever owned/used a sex swing?

Solid turn out tonight for 2019’s week 1 of 52 Tea Time Murph….PAX of 8…… plenty of modifying tonight as various have marathon training goals and none regulars joined the workout.

Great chat and banter, a real pleasure to host… made me remember why I enjoyed F3.

2nd F was at Tapline… heathly laughs with HSRC and a very random side conversation with Deere, Skidmark and Giggawatt lead to the title of the backblast.

The Workout: MURPH

Announcements: Q Swaps and Q Schools

Prayer: where to start, some sobering requests from Huggies about school colleagues taking their own lives over the past months, various thoughts of close friends and relatives having hip replacements and other ailments causing surgery’s and high hopes for employment opportunities. SkidMark very kindly and humberly took us out.

Jack Bells

Pax of 5 gathered for a promised co-Q beatdown by Pikachu and Skidmark. 3 pax came from Crazy Time and after some mumble chatter we were off at 0530 as scheduled.

Warm Up:

SSH x15 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

The Workout:

Pax gathered at end of parking lot with their kettle bell. On the grass x2 Turkish Getups on each arm and then we started our latter:

Walk to 1st parking lot line – x10 Kettle Bell swings

Back to grass for x2 Turkish Getups per arm. Repeato swings at 1st line, then go to 2nd line for 5x Man-O-Makers per side.

Getups are performed each time a new line is added, and all preceding lines are always done. Exercises for subsequent lines were:

3rd Line – 10x Deadlifts

4th Line – x10 LBCs w/Kettle Bell held over chest

5th Line – x10 Sit ups w/Kettle Bell held over chest and rotated to be overhead at top of situp (dubbed the Vietnam)

Getups were repeated one more time for good measure, and then YHC handed things over to Skidmark.

Skidmark led us in Jack Webbs – 1:3 Merkin to Overhead Press w/Kettle Bell ratio from 1:3 -> 10:30, with “recovery” runs in between down to parking lot median.
Mary:

After we (thankfully) finished Jack Webbs we circled up. After the Pax (other than Pikachu) failed to guess Skidmark’s favorite “Mary” exercise we were punished with performing it – the Merkin Clock. With stops at 12, 9, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 we were sufficiently gassed.

Yoga EC: Crosby, Emeril, Pikachu, Sliderule, Wiggly

PAX of 22 enjoyed a helping of redneck culture on this cool, rainy morning

Warm Up: SSH 25, GM 20, shoulder/tricep stretches 10 count, Moroccan night clubs (20 shoulders back), Fozio arm circles F10/R10, erkins 10.

The Workout: Following Jeff Foxworthy’s 12 days, Yogurt dished out the following circuit. Partners run opposite direction in loop, converge and complete the Day’s exercise reps upon three meetings (3x).

12 Pack o’ Bud – Wheelbarrow, 1+ burpees upon switch, modify to lunge walk as needed (try to keep it under 12 burpees for the circuit)
11 wrastlin’ tickets – No wrastlin’, but broke back merkins instead (3×11)
10 o’ Copenhagen – That tin goes in your back pocket, so on your 6, then 10 WWIIs (3×10)
9 years’ probation – 9 prisoner squats – self explanatory (3×9)
8 table dancers – 8 pickle pounders – self explanatory (3×8)

No time for the following 7 day of Christmas:
7 packs of Redman – Again, that ‘backer goes in your back pocket (LBCs)
6 cans of Spam – 6 crunches
5 flanel shirts – hand release merkins
4 big mud tires – 4 IC Freddie Mercuries
3 shotgun shells – 3 star jumps
2 huntin’ dawgs – 2 downward dogs
And some parts to a Mustang G.T. – 12 merkins just because parts is parts

Mary: Foot strengthening exercises – Using fence as balance bar, in cadence, (1) slightly bend knees, (2) roll to balls of feet, keeping knees bent (this is where you’ll feel the strengthening), (3) straighten knees, staying on balls of feet, (4) return to starting position. These ballet exercises will strengthen your feet, helping to prevent plantar fasciitis and other foot injuries. Other Mary: low slow flutter.

Announcements: CSAUP Saturday 12/15/18, begins and ends at Womble Park, 6-10 am. Support vehicle driven by Forceps. Bring water, food, change of clothing for rain. Also, Breach says wear RED on Fridays to remember and support troops who are deployed.
