My Redemption Q

It’s been a while since YHC has taken a Q so when Pony Boy put me on the spot a little while back, I couldn’t turn it down. The last time I led this group of men, YHC wasn’t feeling great and had a rather crappy attitude to be truthful. I apologized to the PAX and promised to redeem myself at my next Q. That being said, I arrive at Folsom a little early to get some stretching in. 5:30 hits so we clock in.

Warmarama: SSHx 10 IC, Monkey Humpers x10 IC, Goofballs  x10 IC, 5 Burpees OYO

Mosey to horse track.

Thang

Here we perform a dirty version of the triple nickel. The dirty part being running a lap after each trip up the concrete seating. Huck always blamed the box jumps I had often called here being the start of what became the Jacked Up Leg. I actually broke my leg later on, but not by doing said box jumps. That’s a story for another time. This episode included no box jumps. 5 derkins at the bottom, 5 calve raises each step to the top, 5 burpees, down and run a lap around the track. Repeato 5 times. During this routine, Pallbearer noticed something spectacular in the sky. I had forgotten about the green meteor shower that was taking place. PAX got a little entertainment during the rest of the workout.

Mosey to the flag at the office, Pledge.

Mosey to the parking lot by soccer field. Route 66 with Bobby hurleys. Always one of my favorites.  Once we finished up with those we mosey to tennis courts.

Being the humble and generous Q I am, and believing in the democratic republic idea, YHC gave the PAX the opportunity to make their voices heard with a vote. Of course, the constituents today didn’t have a description of the referendum they were to vote on. They were simply asked option 1 or Option 2. I’m sure some democratic scholars will contest my election procedure, but I am the Q here. Option 1; burpeecides. Run the width of one court for 1 burpee then back to start. Run 2 courts, 2 burpees and back. Continue every court adding a burpee each trip. Once you reach the end, start decreasing back to start. Option 2; 4 corner escalator. 10 merkins at corner 1. Corner 2; 10 merkins, 20 squats. Corner 3; 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 mountain climbers. Corner 4; 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 mountain climbers, 40 LBCs. After a final vote and 37 recounts, the electorate decided with Option 2.

With time remaining, and being the constitutionalist I am, gave representation to the minority of the earlier vote. The people also got Option 1. We made it to the 6th court and then Omaha back to start.

Folsom Blocks

Pulled into Folsom around 620, went to the bottom lot and no one was there? I looked up at the tennis court lot and saw a couple trucks parked there, so I headed that way. It’s been a while since I’ve attended a bootcamp, Folsom is meeting in the OG lot which is good. We had a small crowd of great men showed this morning and I knew they would enjoy this workout.

Warmup- SSH, Toy soldiers

We grab some blocks and get to it!

20 curls/ 1 tricep, 19/2, 18/3 until 1/20

20 merkins/ 1 Bigboy sit-up 19/2, all the way to 1/20

20 Thrusters/  1 Block Swing 19/2… to 1/20

we ran a lap around the tennis courts between exercises for a total of 3 laps. 210 reps of each exercise = 1260 reps total!

Good to be out there with you guys this morning, everyone did a great job pushing the Block today!

Moleskin; You can be out of this group for months, but when you do show back up, it’s like you were never really gone. Except for the fact your body lets you know you’ve been out. It’s always an honor to lead you men. As I mentioned during the Q, it’s crucial in today’s society for men to be MEN! “Toxic masculinity” is a term used to tear down that notion. It’s not toxic to be men. It’s biblical. Also, confidentiality is a big part of F3. What we share between each other stays our group. Trust can easily be lost. That being said, I’m thankful to be a part of this thing called F3.
