A Four-Minute Masterclass

Yesterday, five brave PAX gathered in the gloom to test their mettle at the Bulldog location. The morning was cool and quiet, as the group prepared for an intense workout with Qing taking the lead. The promise of four-minute AMRAP sessions for each exercise had everyone geared up for a challenging and rewarding start to the day.

DJ Push Play provided the perfect soundtrack for the morning, curating a playlist of eight songs, each precisely four minutes long. This set the pace for the workout, which focused on targeting eight major muscle groups: hamstrings, chest, biceps, triceps, back, quads, shoulders, and abs.

The structure was simple but intense: for each exercise, PAX were tasked with performing as many reps as possible within the four-minute timeframe. After each set, there was a one-minute break for rest or light moseying, allowing the group to catch their breath.

Four minutes can feel like an eternity.

Chili with a side of Slaw

Well, it seems we finally got Chili to co-Q a workout. By we, I mean Flintstone. He EH’d Chili into co-Qing a workout with his brother. Maybe that’s why he Chili was reluctant to commit. Whatever the case, Flintstone made it happen. We had beautiful weather. Time for Chili and Slaw to give the guys what they paid for!

Slaw leads the warmup with SSH, Stretches, Moroccan Nightclubs, Grass Pickers, and Low Slow Squats

Chili takes over with a quick mosey to the first light pole on the right across from the playground. Before we began, I told him to mix it up. He took that to heart, because we did a myriad of exercises and different reps at each light pole.

  • 1st pole – 5 Mike Tysons, 5 Burpees
  • 2nd pole – 5 Burpees, 10 LBCs ???
  • 3rd pole – 20 LBCs??, 5 Mike Tysons??
  • 4th pole – Screw it, I can’t remember

Chili leads us the soccer field closest to dog hill. Partner up for Dora 1, 2, 3. Exercises were:

  • 100 Imperial walkers (Count right leg)
  • 200 Flutter Kicks (Count right leg)
  • 300 LBCs (Single count)

While partner 1 does the work, partner 2 runs to the other side of the field, performs 10 LBCs, and returns.

Once the PAX finish, Chili hands it over to Slaw. Since we’re here, lets knock out the longest mile. 4 rounds of:

  • 12 Mike Tysons, run 1/4 lap around the soccer field
  • 12 Squats, run 1/4 lap around the soccer field
  • 12 Merkins, run 1/4 lap around the soccer field
  • 12 Walking Lunges, run last 1/4 lap back to start

Once complete, we head back to the flag. With 1 1/2 minutes to go, Flintstone calls American Hammers until time is up.

Announcements:

  • The Goonie on 5/4
  • Extinction Run on 5/18

Prayer Requests:

  • Freight’s Dad
  • Purple Haze’s neighbor’s family
  • Anchorman
  • Huckleberry
  • Turtleman

YHC took us out in prayer.

Thanks to all the men who posted today to support Chili with his co-VQ. Hopefully he’ll Q a workout in the future! After a lot of EH’ing, he finally posted about 6 months ago. He loves F3 for the fitness, but he loves F3 the most because he has met a group of like-minded men who love to harass his brother! Keep EH’ing and harassing!!
