Pledge

Let’s mosey,
321 wall for some Australian Mountain Climbers, then my favorite the Monkey Humper! not enough cars came by on the first round so we did some more to make sure the people of Gaston county got a show.

Fox Holes per light post.
Fox Holes are 2 WWI and 1 merkin per light post until we made it to the flashing red light in the middle of downtown.
A man was out watering flowers and it brought back memories of Medicine woman playing in the water feature near the pavilion.
I asked for a mist of water over the pax but apparently water used for flowers does not help Men Grow.
We did this back and forth.

McQuitters Wall
Dips and step ups we started at 25 each and worked down to 5 in increments of 5.

Parking deck
Slow mosey to each level with an ab exercise per level.
Once at the top we did 5 burpees then took the stairs down for 25 LBC’s then back to the top via the road and worked our way down to 4 burpees stairs 25 lbc’s until we finished the burpees. time was cutting close so we Omaha’ed back to the flag to name the FNG.

Hunter is the new FNG. If you have ever eaten at the Chinese place in Dallas the mans name is Hunter who owns it. two different people but several of us know the place and if you call in an order he always says “about 15 minutes” FYI ball joint has his own off the menu combo that sounded really good. we tried 15 minutes as a name but too long much like this BB. out of the blue some one calls out Mushu and it stuck. So welcome Mushu! great guy that was Eh’d by Gearwrench!

Cat Emoji

3 Nantans, past and present, converged at Midoriyama during a wonderful summer time storm. The thunder was really booming while I was doing some EC rucking before hand. Being alone in the park gave way to some good reflection on how awesome thunder is. I figured it was going to be a light crowd due to the storm and even considered if anyone would show at all. I pondered on how many people get struck by lightning and yet we fear it so much. Oh its lightning outside we better run for cover! Do we only swim in the ocean when the sharks aren’t in the water? Do we only drive cars when no one else is on the road? Those things seem as equally or more dangerous. A quick search and I found that the odds of getting struck by lightning are 1 and a MILLION! Also 90% of those that are struck survive. That sounds to me like we’ve made ourselves a bunch of cat emojis. Anyway moving on.

Warmup:

Go get blocks and go to the side parking lot

The Thang:

Run a lap then ruck a lap carrying your block x 4 laps

timer set, do 2 minutes of work and 1 minute of break

1)Plank lat pulls with the block plus a merkin(plank position with your block beside you, reach under past your torso and pull the block to the other side, do a merkin, rinse and repeat)

2)Front squat with the block

3)Overhead press

Run a lap then ruck a lap carrying your block x 4 laps

timer set, do 2 minutes of work and 1 minute of break

1)Avalanche with a glute bridge( on your back holding the block behind your head lift it above your chest, lift your pelvis up, back down, then move the block toward the ground behind your head without setting it down, rinse and repeat)

2)Lunge holding the block

3)Ground to shoulder with the block set it back down, jump over it, rinse and repeat

Run a lap then ruck a lap carrying your block x 4 laps

30 Ground to overhead with the block, jump over the block after each rep

Time!

Midoriyama 6/7

7 men posted for a rare Slaw Q. YHC knew the Midoriyama heat would separate the rock stars from the groupies. It always does. It was great to see JJ out for an even rarer Midoriyama post! With half the PAX below respect and the other half with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, YHC called the goat roping to order.

Warmup:

  • 10 Seal Jacks IC
  • 1 Burpee
  • 10 Low slow Squats
  • 2 Burpees
  • 10 Merkins SC
  • 3 Burpees
  • 10 Don Q’s IC

Pledge it up then mosey to the large soccer fields. Partner up for some B.O.M.B.S. Partner 1 does the work while partner 2 runs across the field, does 5 SSH, then returns.

  • 50 Burpees
  • 100 Overhead Claps
  • 150 Merkins
  • 200 Big Boys

YHC must admit that this was a lot suckier than expected. After numerous complaints from the Respect crowd, we remained in the sun (even though there was plenty of shade on the other side of the field).

Time for some 4 corners escalator.

Corner 1 – 10 Diamond Merkins

Corner 2 – 10 Diamonds, 20 CDD’s

Midoryama 6/14/22

YHC was originally scheduled to Q on Thursday, but had a meeting come up.  Wirenut graciously let me take his on Tuesday, thank you Wirenut!

Start with the mission of F3, to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men, for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Time hits with four pax.  Not as hot as was forecasted, but still plenty hot.  90 is better than 100.  SSH IW gravel pickers and some stretching, then Blart decides to join for five total.  Whenever you can get there is fine.

Mosey to upper side of parking lot.  Stop before soccer fields, move to one side of parking lot.  Time for accelerators.  25 hand release merkins.  Run to other side of lot.  25 hand release plus 25 smurf jacks.  Run to other side of lot.  25 of first two plus 25 big boys.  Run to other side and add 25 flying squirrels.  Think i hear some profanities being spewed at this point.  Run to other side to start coming down.  Back to big boys, smurf jacks and hand release.  Run back and drop the big boys.  Other side for one more round of hand release to make 175 of those.  That’s enough.

Few minutes remain, run to hill on other side for triple nickel.  Squats at bottom, jump squats at top.

Mosey back to flag for pledge.

Announcements: 2nd F lunch, F3 dads 6/18, pt test and trash pick up 6/25, tubing 7/30

Prayers: praise for Slaw M, purple haze M and sis in law, Turtleman, Huck, pax traveling

Always an honor
