Like most of my F3 brothers, If I’m in town and not already booked, I accept the Q.  When I agreed to take the Q on 5/27 at Quagmire, I didn’t realize it was Memorial Day and we’d maybe want to do a Murph.  Too bad for y’all  (and me) that I’d already planned to bring out my trusty paver bricks for the occasion.   Here is how it went down:

Warm – o – rama

• 50 yard mosey into the light
• 10 week pullers (some call them produce pickers) IC
• 10 Wind Mills, IC
• 20 SSH, IC
• 10 Merkins, IC
• 10 Low Slow Squats, IC
• Downward Dog, Honeymooner

The Thang, Part 1

After the warm-o-rama, YHC led the pax to the trunk of the ’06 Caddie (it’s the 3.6 liter, not the 2.8) where I invited each man to take two paver bricks, weighing maybe 4lbs each?

• We moseyed about 3/4 of a mile to the hill yonder near the Sun Trust bank
• 11s  with the bricks, up the hill for 10 squats, the back down for one CDD at the bottom
• Repeat until the reps were reversed

The Thang, Part II

Partner beat down, 100 reps of each, one partner running around the SunTrust bank –  Bricks in hands the entire time

• Two arm bicep curls
• Lunges (single count)
• Two Arm Shoulder presses
• LBCs
• Squats
• Flock of Seagulls
• Flutter Kicks – bricks held up
• Triceps Extentions

Rinse and repeat

• 2nd time through we added shrugs after the lunges.  No team made it all the way through the 2nd time
• Omaha for some ab work
• Run back to COT with Bricks

Moleskin

I started the workout with a reminder of the US Military KIA and Wounded since WWII and told the story of my Grandfather’s WWII experience.   We closed in prayer with honor and in remembrance for those that served and continue to do so, and for their families;  We thanked God for this great country and for our salvation through Jesus.

It was an honor as always.  Thanks for showing up.
