6-7 with curb alberts and mike tysons

5-then YHC realized this was stupid as we’d already done 100 merkins and a bunch of mike tysons. So, we went to the hill YCH originally wanted to go to anyway

https://f3nation.com/exicon?entryId=exicon-1757988690608-7220
found this in the Codex
It was Shady-level “fun”
Bowser Jr. rolled down the hill. All of us did not, but I wanted to.

MARY: a little yoga instead.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of them in the newsletter and beyond
COT: was held.

Panhandle confided that this was not a moderate workout. Sorry, Not Sorry. You guys freaking crushed it anyway. 45 min on a Saturday makes it moderate–right? You’re welcome

Many of you know I don’t post often on Saturday because it’s concentrica time in my household. My M was working out of town, and the 2.0s slept in. It was great to be among the PAX this Saturday. The work we GET to do in the gloom is a privilege. Remember that when some jackwagon calls 7-2-20s.

Friends don’t let friends skip leg day

THE MEN: 4 HIM (Highly Impressive Men)

The Pre-Game (Warm-O-Rama) Four brave souls gathered at TCE to see if their knees still worked. After a brisk air-sniffing session, we jumped into the basics.
30 Side Straddle Hops: Proving that rhythmic clapping is still the hardest part of any workout.
20 Imperial Walkers: Standing tall like royalty.
20 Hill Billy Walkers: Standing tall like… well, royalty’s distant cousins from the woods.
15 Windmills: Reaching for our toes and wondering when they got so far away.
20 Moroccan Nightclubs: We didn’t have the strobe lights or the overpriced drinks, but our shoulders were definitely feeling the rhythm.

The Thang
The Long Walk of Shame Gain, We covered 2.7 miles of TCE territory. The rucks were heavy, the conversation was light, and the pace was just fast enough to outrun our responsibilities but not fast enough to outrun the burn.

To ensure we couldn’t walk up stairs for the next 24 hours, we stopped for 4 intervals of leg-torture:
25 Low Slow Squats: Because if you don’t go low, did it even happen? (Our glutes said yes, it happened).
20 Lunges: A graceful display of 4 men trying not to tip over sideways like falling Jenga towers.
20 Calf Raises: For that “I definitely do CrossFit” look in our high socks.

The Mary:
Cuddling with Rucks We finished by getting intimate with our gear. Nothing says “I love you” like 30+ lbs of metal pressing against your sternum.
While doing Ruck Chest Press: Pushing our problems away, one rep at a time,
10 LBCs: (Little Baby Crunches, for the Big Baby Men).
10 Big Boys: Gravity was the clear winner here.
10 Box Cutters: Slicing through the air with all the precision of a dull butter knife.
10 Flutter Kicks: Splashy!

Announcement & COT:
Newsletter Items, upcoming events.
We survived. We rucked. We conquered.

My verse for the day to meditate on is…

“Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬

With that, The Thrill is gone!
