Double Omaha with a Tour de SMU Stairs

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, Draper, Flouride, Island Time, Pepper, Pow Pow, Siesta, Sound Machine, Special Sauce 
QIC: Teasip

AO: Burleson Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given, with the added COVID disclaimer

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 20, IST x15, Vegetable Pickers x12

THA THANG:
Omaha from the tennis court to the softball field for F3 baseball. Teams completed 40 or 60 of an exercise at each base. Doing all four exercises was a run. Each team had 2 runs and left guys on base. Exercises were: Merkins, Squats, LBCs and Burpees.

Mosey to the Quad where there was a graduate taking photos, so Omaha to the Engineering steps for Jacobs ladder with Squat jumps and Derkins. Quick feet on the stairs (both feet touch each stair)

We continued our Tour de SMU stairs with the other side of the engineering building which was a much bigger staircase so did 11’s with Carolina Dry Docks and Box Jumps onto the fountain. Stayed there after for 20 Dips OYO and 20 Irkins OYO. 

Mosey to the Pit of Misery for some abs (15 rugby sit ups, Uptown crunch x12) and some more box jumps up the stairs/amphitheater seats with 10 hand release merkins at the top (3 total rounds).

Native American run back to the park (thanks Sauce) and then a 4x5x4 (4 rounds of 4 exercises with 5 reps). Exercises were Dips, Swerkins, Pull ups and Dirkins. Ended right at 8 for COT.

MARY:
Done at the Pit of Misery

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed everyone out

MOLESKIN:

Some good EC with Alright Alright bear crawling a mile in 38(?) min, YHC bear crawling .6 miles and Pow Pow and Draper doing the Burpee Test and rucking 1.5(?) miles.

Lots of good mumblechatter this morning. Started off hot with Pepper strolling in looking like he chose to watch the entirety of the Mavs collapse against the Rockets, but #tclaps to him for posting this AM after watching that. That was followed by the Joe Kelly fan club proposing a re-enactment of the Kelly-Correa “faceoff” with Draper being Kelly and YHC (a big Stros fan) playing the part of Correa. The theme of Astros and cheating continued to the F3 baseball where Pepper accused the team of YHC, AA, and Island Time of cheating to which the observation was noted that YHC was a part of the team and thus that was the only explanation. 

The next plan was to park it at the Quad for a bit, but someone was taking graduation photos, so YHC decided to Omaha and explore some staircases. The PAX was going to go to the Pit of Misery (which YHC incorrecly called the Pit of Doom and was quickly corrected by Special Sauce who also wondered if YHC was a Bud Light guy. To which YHC answered that YHC is a fan of all free, cold beer, which has been Bud Light on occasion). The original plan was to just touch every stair, but that was potentially too easy, so we switched to quick feet/both feet every step. Except the stairs were rather small and per Alright Alright “we all have big feet. you know what that means?” to which YHC and Special Sauce quickly responded “yea we need big shoes and big socks”

We then had F3 Golf Talk officially unofficially sponsored by Lone Star (the official unofficial beer of F3 Dallas) to talk about dream pairings of Bryson with Patrick Reed or Brooks Kopeka. No ants were found in the Pit so we didn’t have to worry about free drops. 

Overall a good workout with lots of stair work and some Omahaing and YHC appreciated the PAX bearing with the changes.

Appreciate the PAX coming out to support #ClubRehab while I continue to nurse the Achilles/calf. Really missed being out there, the 3 weeks w/o F3 is the longest stretch I’ve had in 3 years, and with my only ventures out of the house being to get groceries I really needed the 2nd F of seeing other people!

Will run back a similar workout next Thursday as I takeover SCT one more time to finish up getting ripped for Gulf Shores!

MOLESKIN:

YHC started this morning heading to Germany reminiscing with Bleep and Lil Smokey about the Rumpdown yesterday. YHC was curious what his day 2 workout was going to consist of. After waiting an extra minute YHC decided to start the beatdown in hopes of Rump Roast showing up. No Rump Roast today but we continued on. Ended up being a fun and challenging beatdown. Most of the mumblechatter consisted of how much Rump Roast is going to catch today for not showing up to his own Q. Bleep was excited to commence on Rump Roast so we shall see how that plays out. Great to have Sound Machine back out! We might have to find a new parking lot to workout in because they empty the PortaJon’s around 0545…just in time for a sweaty PAX beatdown on the southside lot.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
During Name-O-Rama Alright Alright went around the circle handing out F3 Dallas business cards to every PAX. YHC explained that we started the workout by spelling out “MISSION” and then recited F3’s mission out loud for the PAX. The business cards are about EHing other men and EHing is essential to the MISSION. F3 is unique because of the five core principles, we’ve got something that ALL men need, but most men don’t have in their lives. YHC prayed us out by reciting the five core principles and exhorting each PAX to go out and #GiveItAway.

MOLESKIN:
Slushii, Bleep and Pepper gave the HC but were nowhere to be found at 0530 . Yeah, I am calling you out in the backblast, sorry!  While Sex Panther, crafty as he is, dropped the lowest risk HC ever – he HCed on Band 20 minutes before the workout started, presumably while driving to the AO.

Slushii actually showed up! He was just 15 minutes late. We were not hard to find and glad you made it out brother, better late than never! Rump Roast offered up a moderate amount of his “signature feedback”, no F-bombs that I recall, maybe a “PowPow you suck” or two. YHC’s first attempt to demonstrate form on the SLDs was a fail, completely rounded back.  Alright Alright helpfully corrected Draper’s form by shouting at the Q, “Draper’s doing it like a Claymaker, is that right?” Man, lunge-walking with a coupon is tough! There will be more of that in YHCs future Qs.

Great to see Sex Panther back in the gloom after a few weeks off in California. Alright Alright wore a weight vest with 8 lbs, getting ready for GrowRuck (Tclaps!), and this momentarily took him into full beast mode – he rage-smashed his coupon on the ground after the 2nd round of lunge walks.  Fortunately, YHC brought a spare and so Alright Alright did not go miss anything during Mary.

Some mumblechatter about the music choices. Good to keep variety in the music to dull the pain of the coupon work. Great COT/BOM at the end – GIVE IT AWAY. Everyone.
