The minutes oozed like slime from a child’s Christmas toy that’s sure to make the parents most hated list. The minutes overlapped into repeated Plank Jacks and Mountain Climbers. It was Groundhog day in December.
Due to Stone Cold’s Wednesdays beat down, merkins, derkins, bear crawls, and most anything dealing with pectorals and upper body were to remain at a minimum.

I do not know the origin, nor am I too interested, but I dare say the Side Staddle Hop is one of the most popular, if not most frequent starter exercise among the F3 legions. Many strikes of the 5:30 am haveth groups of men giggling and straddling in counts of cadence. Websters currently defines a side staddle hop as; Side: a place, space, or direction with respect to a center or to a line of division, Straddle: to stand, sit, or walk with the legs wide apart; to spread out irregularly, Hops:to move by a quick springy leap or in a series of leaps. Uban dictionary describes the side staddle hop as: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ – It’s up for grabs if anyone wants to submit a definition. The point is, we didn’t do any, and it was still a pretty good time.

I’m not talking about the pill or powder form, I’m talking about supplementing couch time for burpie time. Kind of like this morning. I’m pretty sure every PAX that showed, had their fill of burpies for the day, supplementing them for big fat sugary delicious doughnuts and warm coffee in bed. We did some working out like this here below.

Q: Why do milking stools only have 3 legs?
A; The cow has the utter.
That’s just about everything we did, minus a little mosey and calf raises. We had to Omaha the entire workout to accommodate the PAX hitting the burpee-thon the next day. I had to save all the burpees for the next Friday workout.
