NMM:

Small but dedicated group here today on a hot humid mid summer morning. We hit it pretty hard I must say! But that is a Tesla standard. And always will be.

Especially mindful today of kids heading back to college, Lynn Hamm, and guys we miss out there now. Great group today, and a pleasure and honor to be part of and lead.

Tesla

Monday is not the normal day I work out, I typically follow the Folsom schedule. Tuesdays thru Sunday.
It was great to get after it in the place that I started at.

Indian Run: I’m a firm believer in always looking after the 6, we moseyed to the old drs office then lined up. YHC reminded all the pax that we are all the six somewhere, but the best part of F3 is we stick together. From fundraisers to CSAUP to Whetstone, and so many other outlets. When you show up and Post at any AO in Gaston County you get treated well. On Average Most men do not have friends, especially another man we should be thankful for each other. Back to the run, We made it all the way back to Snoballz. YHC was pleased with the hard work today from the pax. It was an honor to serve.

The BedPan is Full!

7 men showed to put in some work at Mt. Hollywood this morning.  No FNGs,  everyone knows the deal, it’s time!

Warm-Up:

10 Burpees

The Thang:

After the warm-up Burpees, we took a mosey to the downtown area at corner of W Catawba Ave and S Main St.  First exercise called here is the 7 of Diamonds.  This exercise is performed on a large diamond (i.e. a square).  I chose an area downtown, that should get us a good bit of running in.  For the first round, do 7 reps of an exercise at each of the 4 corners with a mosey in between corners.  Each round, you increase by 7 reps with a different exercise each round, for a total of 4 rounds.  Then you decrease the reps by 7 for each of the last 3 rounds with different exercises.  It was to go as follows:

Round 1 – 7 Burpees at each corner

Round 2 – 14 Jump Lunges at each corner

Round 3 – 21 Merkins at each corner

Round 4 – 28 Mountain Climbers at each corner

Round 5 – 21 Flutter Kicks at each corner

Round 6 – 14 Imperial Walker Squats at each corner

Round 7 – 7 Burpees at each corner

This really sounded like a good idea, but I misjudged the Diamond that we used.  This would work better by choosing a diamond that isn’t that large.  Had to call an Omaha after the 4th round, because we were running out of time quickly.  It wasn’t a complete fail, as we put in a lot of reps, and kept moving racking up some miles.

With time short, we still had time for a couple stops.  First we took a short mosey to the wall behind BB&T bank.  Here I called on 3 exercises: Hip Slappers, Donkey Kicks, and Mike Tyson’s.  We did 10 reps of each for a total of 3 rounds.

Next we started our mosey back towards the flag, but I chose the route that takes us to the small wall beside Ida Rankin Elementary School.  Here 3 more exercises are called: Dips, Derkins, and Step Ups.  We did 10 reps of each for 2 rounds. Mosey back to flag. Time

Annoucements:    8/3 Cookout, 8/17 Rankin Lake Run/Walk for Pizza Man niece, 9/14 911 Stair Climb, 9/21 Stop Soldier Suicide in Belmont, 9/28 JJ5K Trail run Common Ground in Stanley
