Big crowd this morning at Block Party. 24 men started their day off right, some ran, some rucked, and some stuck around and the rest followed the old geezer.
First stop, the bank on the corner, actually it is a pharmacy now. Circled up for exercises in cadence (SSHs, MNCs, IWs, WMs). Next, we selected a partner. Bear crawl to the middle of the parking lot, 10 partner merkins, bear crawl back to the curb, rinse and repeat 3 times.
Next, we ran down to the town hall offices, 3 rounds of Mike Tysons (set of 10). Back on the road, up to the top of the hill on Williamson St. 3 rounds of Partner pushes between the light poles. I was corrected, one of the poles was actually a flag pole (old man eyes). Next, hold plank, down to elbow, six inches. Back down the hill, return to the top of the parking lot. Brisk mosey to the parking lot across from COT with the brick wall. Dora 1-2-3, 200 Carolina Dry Docks, 300 Squats, 400 LBCs. Partner 1 performed the exercises while Partner 2 ran to the wall and did 3 muscle-ups.
Back to COT

WARMUP: @Double D kicked us off with a disclaimer and quick mosey around the parking lot before we circled up to do a handful of warmup-y type exercises…I would list them out, but can’t recall exactly what we did as (unbeknownst to most of the PAX) I was more concerned with concealing the speaker I was carrying for my portion of the Q. Kudos to @Pusher for noticing. I do, however, recall the group providing the 5 core principles of F3 as we had an FNG EHd by @OldBay
THE THANG: After warmups, @Double D mentioned the theme for the day, which was Adaptability and Agility and then handed off his Q to YHC. I proceed to expand upon Adaptability and Agility and the need as leaders to be both Adaptable and Agile as there is always something that comes at us unexpectedly. We then proceeded to mosey to the Lowe’s parking lot where we circled up for 15 mins of EMOM (every minute on the minute) of the following exercises:
1 burpee
2 lunges each leg
3 merkins
4 low squats
5 SSH
*Music started off on AC/DC radio and switched halfway through to 90s Hip Hop to accommodate @Pusher’s musical preference.
The PAX then mosey’d to the top of the hill by the gas station for a few plank jacks before moseying back down to the lot for what started out as a quick broga session that didn’t feel right due to the 90s Hip Hop, which was adapted to a 16-PAX circle of PAX-led mary.
