Baby, it’s cold outside

Keeping with seasonal motif. No cancel culture here.

Started with quickly pointed out Q fail. Parked in time but was a few seconds late getting started. Only accepted answers are Yes sir, No sir, and No excuse sir.

Ran the simple route to Martha Rivers and back. The leaf pile monsters didn’t attack. New yap dog on the route. All returned safely.

Beer ruck.
Beer mile.
New Years Day to be determined.

No new prayer requests this morning.

Thanks for allowing me to Q.

Midoriyama 12/5/23

It’s December, so that means Christmas is around the corner. To get the guys in the Christmas spirit, YHC led the obligatory 12 days of Christmas workout. It was a beautiful night at Midoriyama. We saw enough deer running amuck that Santa could pull his sleigh through the triad region (Lowell, Ranlo and Smyre) on dry ground with no problem at all.

We performed a quick warmup and moseyed to the parking lot on the other side of the turd shack. Q forgot the pledge, (BIG Q fail) but we got it at the end of the workout. Once we got there, Santa Q had written the 12 days of Christmas on the asphalt for all the PAX to see. We formed a semi circle around the instructions and got to work. It went like this:

  • 1 – 8 Count Bodybuilder
  • 2 – Hand Release Merkins
  • 3 – Reverse Crunches
  • 4 – CDD’s
  • 5 – Burpees
  • 6 – Big Boys
  • 7 – Low Slow Squats
  • 8 – Werkins
  • 9 – Leg Lifts
  • 10 – Mike Tysons (a lot of protests on this one)
  • 11 – LBC’s IC
  • 12 – SSH IC

A certain grinchy PAX complained due to the “jacked up” exercises called and lack of music while performing the workout. YHC doesn’t believe this was a Q fail, just lack of Christmas spirit on behalf of the Grinch.

We had enough time to perform some dirty 11’s. Exercises called were Tiger Squats and Perfect Form Merkins (with a Burpee in the middle).

Back to the flag with just a few seconds remaining, so YHC called time. We got the Pledge in and got the COT.

Announcements:

  • Beer Ruck on 12/9 See BOS/ preblast channel on Slack for details
  • Beer Mile on 12/30 See Sargento for details

Prayer Requests:

  • Turtle Man
  • Sister Act
  • Tiger
  • Happy Tree’s cousin
  • Purple Haze’s Mom and M

  • Jackson Hall and his Family

YHC took us out in prayer.

Merry Christmas, SK8RS!

Circuit Training @Folsom

I always try to bring something different for my Q’s and I always plan more than I have time for today was no different. We did a proper warm up of course and disclaimer we had 2 FNG from my work. Then headed to the soccer field where I had an 8’ section of power pole waiting roughly 100 pounds the plan was one pax carry pole to end of field and back to group that is doing LLB’s working their way across I can’t thank Easy Rider enough for bringing these to my attention they’re GREAT! Anyhow we took turns carrying the pole until we got to the other side. Then moseyed to a nearby parking lot where I had various coupons set up for circuit training we did 30 seconds on 30 seconds off for three sets of each exercise wich were: sissy squats thanks to wire nut for bringing the rig,deadlifts squats laterals curls bigboys burpees leg raises ab roll outs oh press jump rope SSH we didn’t have time to make it through all the stations but hopefully the pax worked some muscles they normally don’t we discovered stogie is squat illiterate 😆 but he tried can’t fault a man if he’s working at getting better 👍. We went back to soccer field and continued back across the way we started. Then did 22 for the troops counted off by a shirtless gear wrench in 35 degree weather 😆 he’s a savage . Then 10 burpees to finish out. After all was said and done I only burned 175 calories 🤷‍♂️so I guess it wasn’t that kinda workout but PX did some exercises we normally don’t with blocks and body weight so I say mission accomplished. We pledged did announcements and I prayed us out. Men I love F3 and what it’s all about I’m thankful for all the friends I’ve made since I started 👊🏻looking forward to the next one.

12/5/2023 The Storm

Started the morning at 36 degrees with Burpees (thanks Mamas Boy), followed by some side straddle hops and a mosey to the front of the school. From here we partnered up and ran the loop while doing 150 Mike Tysons, 300 Sumo Squats, 450 LBC’s and Omaha’d 600 step ups to 300 due to time. We rounded out the 1st F with 10 minutes of Mary and a COT with a prayer led by our Nantan-elect, Flinstone.

Sword 12/4/23

The crowd was a little light at the Sword this week, but that didn’t stop those who showed from putting in work. 6 runners and 1 rucker in total.

 

Afterwards we discussed the meaning of various Christmas carols and the need to worship, adore and celebrate Christ the entire year, not just the month of December.
