CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Asked the Lord for us to be free from any anxiety or barrier that we are facing or will face for the day.  Thanked God for every man in this Pax to have a great day.

MOLESKIN:
Alright Alright started off with stating how much he thinks the Q should get the Pax to run in the beginning and be away from the meeting spot.  I didn’t have a strong opinion about it and he kept talking so just decided for us to all start running.  We chatted about how YHC dodged a car from the previous workout and how we are glad there are not any cars by to be a threat to our lives.  Found Alright Alright’s coupon that was left behind from the workout Wednesday because it was covered in ants.  He did return later that day to pick up his coupon, thankful no one had a desire to take that random block in a field.   During the workout YHC has some fun commentary about dips “when I dip you dip I dip”  “OYO and saying Go – yo”and my struggle to say Makhtar Diayes so making the impromptu decision to name it the scramble.  Feel free to call it the scramble in your workouts as well.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: YHC made a call back to the Katy trail Thursday where Rump and Ultra came and YHC challenged the PAX to push themselves to do things that are harder to do.  Todays Q was YHC attempting to be true to that.  YHC typically has a lot of running and hates bear crawling so YHC limited the running and added in bear crawls.

MOLESKIN: YHC tried to limit the running as that is typically his default.  Lots of talk early on about sore legs from the insane amount of lunges this week.  Box jumps did not help.  Otherwise not a ton of mumblechatter which was surprising since we did the routine YHC is calling the agile bear on the infamous Starbucks hands parking lot.  Bleep did say multiple times how there wasn’t any mumblechatter, which YHC thinks that was his subtle way of announcing his displeasure in the exercise. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Happy hour tonight @ Pow Pow’s house
  • Siesta VQ tomorrow followed by 2.0 workout

Great job today men and looking forward to where we are headed!

MOLESKIN:
Very appreciative to everyone that came out this morning. Workout was supposed to be on the tennis court with motivators in between, but we improvised. Lots of grumble during the inchworm. Ant bite karma on the Merkin Walk. General disgust from pack leaders Aaarrrggghhh and AlrightAlright when YHC called the Merkin Walk when the rest of the PAX was halfway. Rump Roast claimed 7Fs on the scale. YHC was not informed of the beer/claw requirement this morning, which may have been why most of y’all showed up… but beers will be served tomorrow at the harbor!

THA THANG:
Run a short lap around the field, then Squats x16, Pickle Pounders x16, Alabama Prom Dates x16, Monkey Humpers x8

Nolan Ryan x16
Gorilla Humpers x8

Same suicide as earlier, but 4 merkins each time back (16 total), followed by more Pickle Pounders and Alabama Prom Dates x16 each

MARY:
Done during the workout

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC thanked the PAX for being there with him these last 3.5 (or 4.5, YHC can never remember) years with F3 and the improvement YHC has made in fitness (tummy fat loss) and general manhood. YHC would not be where he is today, about to marry the woman of his dreams without F3. Thank you

MOLESKIN:
The jokes were funny and frequent of course. Several PAX mentioned YHC should only need about 3 reps of pickle pounders for the big night and there were probably wasn’t a need for any other type of exercise. During the Apple turnover, YHC mentioned to stop at second base, to which Sally and Draper responded “no now you can go all the way to home base” and the continuation of bases reached was asked to which YHC had no response. Draper requested I note these for the backblast, so feel free to comment if I missed some jokes. When lunges were announced, Draper had some not kind words for Oatmeal after their EC was apparently heavy on the legs with them carrying their coupon and ruck for over 2.5 miles. So #tclaps to them and PowPow (who had to leave early) for doing the EC. There was a heavy dose of Rump F-bombs today, which YHC always likes to hear since it means the workout is tough. The Double Merkin Burpees produced quite the groaning, as well as the burpee suicide. YHC appreciated everyone coming out to show support as YHC bids adieu to the single life.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Siesta VQ next Saturday, 8/22 at 0700. Come out and support him!
2. 2.0 workout to follow at 0900, should be about 30 minutes.
3. GrowRuck SA has been moved to the weekend of April 9-10

YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
With Brooks not showing up on Sunday, YHC decided to go heavy on the running. YHC was originally going to do the Suicide Special, but decided to modify it with coupons and football field. Special Sauce and a few others were curious if we were going to repeat the Bill Murray Caddyshak/Groundhog Day workout, but quickly found that was not the case. Rump was none to pleased and let YHC know it early and often. Overall a solid turnout and YHC was happy to have so many post in the Gloom. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Ultra is rucking to raise  money for Doctors Without Borders in their support of Beirut this Wednesday starting at 1800 and going to midnight. Come join him for all or some of it and donate.

On the north side of the bridge do 4x squat to IST combo

Mosey back to La Madeline

Mary

Flutter Kicks till time

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: YHC gave props to @rumproast and @Ultra for going out of their comfort zone and showing up for a running workout.  YHC then asked the PAX to follow that lead and push ourselves to do things we normally shy away from.  If you don’t like running, go run.  If you hate bear crawls, do bear crawls.  Keep this mentality in all aspects of your life not just fitness.

MOLESKIN: YHC wanted to try and stick to the golf theme of the week but doesn’t know much about golf.  The exercises were done in 4’s for a par 4, and the combo’s were inspired by the Arnold palmer (the drink).

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, B Cup ,Chairman Mao, Gold Digger, Teasip
QIC: PowPow

AO: La Madeline (launch point)
Date: 7/20/20
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
ISTs and SSHs

THA THANG:
Mosey to the North end of Mockingbird Bridge, which is station #1.  Station #2 is the South end of the bridge. Station #3 is the Northwest corner of Glencoe Park and Station #4 is the Southeast corner of Glencoe.

Station #1 = 5 Burpees / Station #2 = 5 Burpees & 10 Merkins / Station #3 = 5 Burpees & 10 Merkins & 20 Lunges / Station #4 = 5 Burpees & 10 Merkins & 20 Lunges & 40 Situps

The workout was to do the exercises above at the station and then run at typical Katy Trail interval pace to the next station, then do those exercises….repeato etc.

Station order: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 3 / 1 / 4

On the second station 4 we only ran to station 3 (due to time), but did the full station 4 exercises then interval pace/all you got back to station 2 and then from there mosey back to La Madeline with time for 5 more burpees.

Totals: 40 Burpees, 50 Merkins, 80 Lunges, 80 WWI situps and somewhere between 2.7 and 3 miles

MARY:
Done at station 4

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC exhorted us out

MOLESKIN:
This was a fun one.  Due to the delinquency of this backblast YHC doesn’t recall much of the mummblechatter. The escalating nature of the exercises was cribbed from a Rump Roast workout a few day earlier.

Club Rehab, #Beachbod Edition

#backblast 8/6

Slushii Lil Smokey and Bleep joined YHC for another rendition of #clubrehab

EC?:
At 0524 YHC was alone wondering if the Ultra and Rump Roast HC’s for KTT were going to mean a solo workout, the SMU police stopped by the Jeep to see what was going on, apparently someone sitting in a car at that time without lights on is suspicious…YHC talked to the officer about what I was doing, but missed the EH opp as let’s face it, not really used to talking to cops that early in the AM but Slushii gave me a hard time for not putting on the press when I told him the story, next time I’ll give him a business card

The thang:
Warmup
SSH (YHC pretty pumped to be able to do those again!)
IST

Every Minute on the Minute (EMOM), 4 min
10 merkins, 10 Superman’s, 10 mountain climbers

As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP), 3 minutes
10 L cheek rugby sit-ups, 10 regular rugby sit-ups, 10 R cheek rugby sit-ups (AlrightAlright would have been pissed with that much tailbone friction)

EMOM, 5 minutes
10 right plank hip raises, 10 left plank hip raises, 10 dry docks

AMRAP, 4 minutes
10 squat jumps, 5 L leg dead lifts, 5 R leg dead lifts

3 minutes of arms “toning”

EMOM, 5 minutes
10 merkins, 10 Superman’s, 10 mountain climbers

AMRAP, 4 minutes
10 L cheek rugby sit-ups, 10 regular rugby sit-ups, 10 R cheek rugby sit-ups

EMOM, 4 minutes
10 right plank hip raises, 10 left plank hip raises, 10 dry docks

4 minutes of arms toning

Round robin of more shoulders per Bleep legs per Lil Smokey and more arms toning per Slushii

Keeping up the golf theme, the minutes for each circuit correspond with the par for the front 9 of Tenison Highlands

Decent mumblechatter since there wasn’t a ton of counting, always great to catch up with my #clubrehab crew and look forward to getting back into the routine in a couple weeks hopefully!
