It’s not everyday you get to Q at another Region’s AO (unless your name is CSPAN), so when you get a personal invite, you answer the call! I had the opportunity to post quite a few times last year when F3 Bluffton was just getting their start. Even had the opportunity to introduce them to Lt Dan for an impromptQ. They had two workouts per week with a pretty solid showing of PAX. What a difference a year makes. They now have a workout every day except Sunday and a strong 14 showed this morning for The Buck (AO Name). The Men of Bluffton (MOB) got this F3 thing and are growing (shocker). Tclaps guys on your growth and your leadership!

Love the new AO as it has lots of opportunity, however YHC didn’t have an opportunity to recon (it’s 30 minutes from where we’re staying). That and several locations were locked down (track specifically) due to impending senior pranks prior to HS graduation. Thus, I was greeted by 5.0 who was staked out at 0500. “Nothing to see here officer, just a bunch of grown men doing a bunch of stupid things.” All good! Proceed!

0505 and PAX started rolling in. Meet and greet for a few minutes and then circle up at 0515 for…

THE THANG

COP
-SSH IC X25
-Windmills IC X15
-Merkins IC X15
-Mtn Climbers IC X20? (I think)

Run a lap of the parking lot (track locked down) and then circle up for explanation for the remainder of the workout. YHC really enjoyed (hatefully) a pyramid of pain conducted by Pusher months ago and wondered, what if the exercise counts just kept going up and never came down? Did it with a crowd-pleasing PAX at the Colosseum 3-4 weeks ago and had to share with the MOB. Simple plan, do the increasing exercise count, run a lap (approx 1/4 mile), continue until 0600.

10 Burpees
20 Diamond Merkins
30 American Hammers
40 Lunges
50 Mountain Climbers
60 Merkins
70 Freddie’s
80 Step Ups (40 each leg) – Omaha with no benches in site we did Alternating Toe Taps…Thanks Gambit
90 SSH
100 Dips (Curb, Fender, whatever works)
110 LBCs
120 Squats

A good portion of PAX completed the Squats right at 0600. Wherever you finished, try to #getbetter the next time you do this exercise series. If you complete the series, either start over or find the 6 and complete with them. I gave the weinke to Gambit (bombjacks) but anyone can grab it now (10 more) because it’s on the #internets. Great effort by all the PAX for this UvsU workout! Thanks again for the invite Stones!

NMM
-Great to see guys from last year that I met (Stones, Gambit, Buckeye, etc.) and better to see so many more joining the ranks.
-Thanks Stones for the guest Q. Always appreciated!
-Way to lead the PAX Gambit and Buckeye, gave YHC someone to chase
-Awesome effort by everyone. That’s what UvsU is all about!
-Seeing everyone spent and pouring sweat (it’s a little humid) was all the thanks I needed. Mission accomplished.

Announcements
-Lunch with Stones? It’s a thing!

Praise and Prayers
-Prayers for Stones’ Mother-in-Law and return to health
-Praise for YHC vacation and the fact that I can show up and be welcomed in a different city by a group of men (this F3 thing may be contagious)

An Honor Guys!

Zima Out!
