18 manly men showed for YHC’s first Q in a couple of weeks and I aimed to fill their need for a good ole beatdown. There was plenty of mumble chatter to go around between Tool Time and his namer High Roller, along with many of the regular characters, 2 FNG’s and a 2.0. Let’s get it on!

Mosey across the street for a little more room, a short disclaimer about how I’m not a professional, go at your own pace, modify as needed, etc.

Warm-up:

Goof Balls (just for Tool Time) x15 IC

Don Quixotes (also just for Tool Time!) x15 IC

Dying Cockroaches x15IC

Moroccan Nightclubs x20IC

Monkey Humpers x15IC

Back across the street for the pledge. A special surprise before we headed off was waiting in YHC’s trunk, bricks for all! Mosey through the park, around the water fountain a couple of times and then up to the track behind the middle school for the main event.

The Thang – the Deck of Death (mosey edition)

We wouldn’t have time for anything else during our workout so we had to get moving. For each card drawn from a normal deck of cards (2 jokers included) the PAX will perform the number of reps shown on the card for the exercise that pertains to that specific suit. Also, after each card the PAX would mosey 1/6th around the track for the next exercise.

Spades – Brickens

Hearts – LCBs

Clubs – Squat Press with bricks

Diamonds – Arm Raises with bricks

The workout started off innocently enough, pick a card, do some reps, so on and so forth. Pretty soon the sweat started to fall. The weird thing was that it took about half of the deck before we came across the first diamond. That just meant they piled up at the end. YHC also changed it up so that on each ace, we ran a full lap around the track. Fun! At least for me and Quiche.

The fun of this routine is always has the men moving and it kept us together for some good fellowship and mumble chatter. We had to push at the end to finish up the deck before time was us but we made it. Way to hang in there guys, we completed over 3 miles today! Mosey back to the playground.

Prayer requests, announcements and namorama.

Moleskin: Today marked the one year anniversary of the Fighting Yank AO here in Belmont. Thanks to our leadership for agreeing to let this thing get started up! From the very beginning we’ve had really strong and faithful attendance that continues to grow. I would bet that we’ve had more FNG’s at our AO than any other her in the Gashouse region. That may be a stat for the weasel shaker to look into. Keep EH’ing all the men you talk to, even if you don’t know them. Heck, even hollering at someone running down the road by themselves can work, right Dr. Seuss, Tiny Tank, Norwood and Gilligan?!? It’s been a pleasure to be your site Q for the last year, it’s been a blast. Thanks for to all who’ve led and posted, without you there wouldn’t be F3 in Belmont. Let’s keep growing this thing for the sake of all those sad clowns out there in fartsack land! Love you men!

AYE!!!
