THE THANG: 11s with diamonds on one end and imperial squat walkers on other end. every time you pass the sign in the middle, 3 burpees.

Flexing

We spent most of our time on challenges that @Mainframe “could have accomplished 20 years ago.”
Notes: @Peta needs a side career doing voice overs
   @Joe Lyons (F3 Long Duck) is actually from GA, which makes the bulldog thing understandable
   @Slapshot and @fishstix stayed towards the 6 to make YHC feel like the workout was challenging
   @SouptoNuts brought a co-worker (Joe Blow) along to commiserate. He name dropped @Royale_F3
   @photobomb and @Badlands were psychic on the lack of running and got more in on their own. For an extra fee, they’ll do tarot card readings
   @Sprocket is considering building a company based around puzzles of Mark Rothko paintings
   @Shady & @Esso seemed enamored with how many picnic benches you can fit under an awning

Kept it light on running as recovering from giving blood apparently takes me a long while. Spent a lot of time on mobility and leg exercises. And hey, you can learn a lot on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuLyss7FkFc

The pistol squats after a ton of lunge walking pissed guys off. 🙂

7-17-2023 Simple

All veterans so quick disclaimer, run to back for 7 HR merkins, 17 morracan night clubs, and 23 SSHs. I decided last night to just keep it simple and use the date. Run to gravel lot, 7 squats, 17 overhead claps, and 23 seal jacks. Run to Toastery, 7 HR merkins, 17 MNCs, and 23 SSHs. Run to bank lot in front of Walmart.

I wanted to keep everyone somewhat together before turning loose the speedsters (Tesla, Fishy). Keeping with the date, did 7 bombjacks in bank lot, run down to traffic circle, 7 merkins, back up to bank lot. Repeat with 17, 20, and 23 reps. Pick up the 6 since time was almost up. Make our way back to COT with the same stops on the way back.

Pretty hot out in the gloom right now but I appreciate all the guys coming out and pushing it this morning. Thanks Badlands for the opportunity!

KABOOM at Colosseum

WARMUP: Disclaimer only
THE THANG: 1776 reps of pain plus some running
COT: On this birthday of our country we added FNG Tang to our pax, EH’d by Mark Twain. Welcome brother! We sweat like crazy in the Gloom and let the familiar soreness settle in as the fireworks lit up the sky to honor our forefathers and our fellow Americans. Grateful to have been born in the USA and to share this life with my F3 brothers. May we stay United and foster Unity with those we meet each time we leave COT and enter the world around us. God Bless America!

Hot dogs

Ran to back of the school and did an Indian run with a KB back to cot with stop along the way for merkins and SSH. Circled parking lot for remainder of workout doing more merkins and SSH. Badlands was fastest dude to get to the farthest point so he got some delicious beer from Amor Artis. It was hot and so am I.
