So, I found these foam cube-like polygons at $5 Below. I bought both the Expert and Intermediate versions, as well as a yoga one. Each side of the non-yoga polygons has an exercise (ie. 20 Burpees, 30 Mnt. Climbers, 15 Squats with a Twist (Imperial Walker Squats), 30 Russian Twists (American Hammers), etc…). Without much of a plan I rolled into Folsom with about 5 minutes to spare and began to make things up in my head on the drive in.
We began with a warmup of:
15 SSH in cadence
5 Burpees (oyo)
15 Gravel Pickers
Pledge
We moseyed to the tennis courts.
For 30 minutes each Pax (as many as we could get thru) would roll both dice. We would do both exercises. We then would run/sprint (you vs. you) to the next corner of the courts. There was an option for “Water Break” on both dice. For this we did waterfall burpees for one round (Pax planking after completing their burpee) and then whatever the other exercise was. We did this for around 4 laps or so around the courts before I had to leave at 6am. There were several times we hit 20 burpees… otherwise it was a mix of Bonnie Blairs, Mountain Climbers, Squats with a Twist (Imperial Walker Squats), Tuck Jumps, etc… Anything else… #showtoknow.
I asked Wichita to take over and finish the PAX out with a round of Iron Hulks and some merry (if any time was left).
Announcements: PT test Saturday at Gashouse 7, Christmas party Dec 12th pre blast will be out soon.
Prayer Request: SA’s daughter and family, Montross, Sparky’s dad and mom, and Purple Haze’s job interview.
Thanks for allowing me to lead and for playing along this morning. I may need to update the dice a bit… maybe take off the “water break” and add more burpees or my favorite workout (not that I have one, but I can make something up). I hope ya’ll had fun.
Until next time… SYITG

A few weeks back I saw Wichita during lunch at the great Country Kitchen. He asked if I would take a Folsom Q so of course I accepted.
Warm-up:
Don Q
SSH
Merkins
LBC
Mosey to Lit Parking Lot
Deep Squats
Pikes Reach
90 90 Rotations
Walking High Knees
Shuffles
Skips
From here on out I freestyled it and it has taken me too long to write this back blast to remember it all but we mainly sprinted or did a running drill. Finished up with some stretching.
Thanks for letting me lead guys and for the effort everyone gave.
It has been a while since I have Q’d a boot camp workout. To my surprise we had an FNG come out this morning.
The ThanG:
Warm Up, SSH, Gravel Pickers, “Montross comes in Late so we do monkey humpers facing Him, well kind of” until he gets up to the group.
Lets Mosey, Nolan Ryan’s at each light then to the flag for the pledge, lets have some fun with a little core work.
10 each then take a lap, LBC, Flutter, LBC, Leg Raise, LBC, MTN Climbers, LBC, Freddy Mercury’s, LBC.
We did this twice then back to the Tennis Court. I stayed back with our FNG and noticed that he has sunglasses on his hat at 530 in the morning. Also they were not coming off.
We met in the middle of the tennis courts for some partner work. Partner One goes to one end and does 5 merkins same for partner 2. Meet back and do 10 squats. continue going down to one merkin.
The Fun confusion is about to begin. When I Q I like some music and today was no different. Except my blue tooth speaker failed bitgtime. Luckily Wire Nut brought his truck up to give us some help with the music.
The Pax at Folsom LOOOOve Burpees heck if you don’t have a couple they start complaining. So I brought out a little song by the “Gap Band” you may have heard of it ” you dropped the Bomb on Me”. Burpee each time they say ” you Dropped the Bomb on me”
Needless to say we did a few. The next song is an oldy but goody made more famous from the movie Beetle Juice. The Banana Boat song by Harry Bellafonte, or “Day O”. The Pax Circled up and planked but each time he says “daylight come and me want to go home” we shift to the right. Once back to beginning go to the left. This sucked in more ways than one and cooked the shoulders. I guess happy early Halloween on that one. I looked down and Time.
Regardless of how we got there the Pax were sweaty and laughing after we finished up and that’s all that matters.
Announcements:
Convergence 10/31/20 at Martha Rivers all other AO’s will be closed, PT test 11/14
Prayer Request: SA’s family, Sargentos M, AT’s Arm, and many others.
The Bed Pan is Full
Most men in life are in the middle of the bell curve unless we choose to be be better than that. If you believe you are one of those guys in the middle, then this is especially for you. I am talking to the guys that post a couple days a week and call it good. The guys who are passively involved in one or two F’s. The one’s who don’t avail themselves to all the items on the F3 Menu. The ones who won’t do a CSAUP or Q a workout regularly. The ones who don’t lives their lives intentionally and “oversleep” instead of making a decision to wake up and get after it. This challenge is to push that bell curve to the right.
I have heard some clamoring among the Gashouse PAX for a challenge along the lines of the 40 day challenge so here it is.
No excuses!
VISION: In November you are going to challenge yourself to a few required physical tasks as well as maintaining standards to increase your acceleration.
This challenge can be modified based on your fitness level but make sure you make it happen.
ARTICULATION:
1st F Requirements:
100 Miles combined run/ruck miles for the month to include:
-At least one ten-mile run and…
-At least one 12-mile ruck
-Or…one combined run/ruck of 15 miles
One Murph workout
Combined total of at least 25 workouts (30 minutes minimum, CSAUP’s count as 1)
Hydrate and take in protein after each workout.
Dietary Guidelines:
No Soda
No Fast Food
No sweets
No chips
More water
More salads, vegetables, and lean meats
No alcohol* (except at Bottom’s Up, F3 Gastonia’s only standing 2nd F event. Limit yourself to two drinks (Moderation in all things, including moderation))
Cheat meals must be EARNED! (with the exception of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a cheat day)
Seven workouts in a week earns you a cheat meal.
Going to Q-Source on Sunday morning earns a cheat meal.
If you have never been to a Q-Source session and go to your first one, you get an additional Cheat meal.
Persuasion: Don’t be weak. If you aren’t strong, you’re wrong. That is it. Make a shared Google Doc with your Shieldlock to track your mileage. Journal your posts using Notes on your phone or some other method. Post on Slack to update on your progress #accountability
YHC encourages Site-Q’s to schedule a long run or Ruck or Murph sometime during the month.
If you have questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, commit now to the challenge and quit making excuses. Covid 2020 has been a real challenge but we can continue to improve. Prepare for this challenge now so you are ready. The challenge begins with a ten miler at the Coconut Horse on November 1st, followed by Q-Source. I am sure my friends in NOGA will make a similar option available.
EXHORTATION: Quit being soft,
Roscoe
