MARY: Rebel finished off the pax with a bit of Mary in the lot

ANNOUNCEMENTS: QSource on Tue at Baxter Starbucks, Coffeeteria on Wed at Kingsley

COT: Great to have Cousin Eddie out for his 2nd post after FNG status last week. T-claps to Rebel for helping him launch well and to Cousin Eddie for giving Rebel some added purpose!

The workout today was inspired by Sprockets from F3Boone, who led a brick based workout 2 weeks ago. The intent today was to break out of our routine and to create an extra push and some accountability with a partner.

After 10yrs+ posting in The Gloom, I still find it tough to roll out of bed at 0430 most mornings. It’s easier than it once was but it’s NEVER easy! I know that I’ll get better if I post, but I’m also susceptible to the voice in my head saying “you need some sleep” or “you can still exercise on your own at 0600”. Either or both might be true on any given day, and when I’m focused on ME, then the odds of me giving into that voice are high. The key to rising early and posting with you, my brothers, is when I can focus outside of me and instead see YOU. I know how much I’ve needed you over the years, which reminds me that there are many mornings when you need someone else beside you in the Gloom. Making that choice to be that someone is always the extra push I need to get out the door. When I can surrender my self, my ego, my petty simple desires…that’s when I find that something extra — another gear, a purpose, inspiration, the Holy Spirit…whatever you call it for yourself. Surrender…give your morning for your brother…it’s a small sacrifice with a HUGE payoff.

Thanks to Kermit for the honor of leading the pax this morning!

Keep Posting!!!

Omaha, Omaha! These streets have no name.

WARMUP:

Got the WOD inspiration from Florida Georgia line day before while working the BoFlex. Board of Pain w/ acrostic SIMPLE.

Decided rk take 1 of 2 routes, hit WEP, run laps starting from playground OR run to QT and instruct the 12 to use discretion to stop, wait for 6 and execute BOP.

Rolling in and catching an earful of healthy mumblechatter, decided neither. We will run randomly to dimmly lit parking lots and execute BOP.

Ran up to the old Kimbrells for a little warmup.

– Low slow squat with a jump at the end. @darkhelmet informed me that it was called a squat jump

– imperial walkers

– shoulder taps

– stretches

THE THANG:

An arbitrary count if 15 for each exercise.

Board of pain:

S Shoulder taps
I Irkins
M Monkey Humpers
P Plank Jax
L Lunges
E Burpees (burpee has an E in it)

Run to 1887 Brewery, BOP

Run to the government building on the left on way back, BOP.  After much debate, no one knew what building it was and we found ourselves back at Kimbrells.

By then we started to spread out, causing more chaos.

Run down, take left at Amor and hit parking lot on left, BOP.

Per Jihnny Utahs request, hit Litte Caesars, BOP.

Run past COT, on left side of street, hit parking lot with kong brick wall, BOP.

Head back to COT for some Mary.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Newsletter

COT:

Quoting ZBB “ I have everything I need, nothing that I dont” was a pleasant reminder on being content and thankful for your blessings. Happiness is fleeting but joy is eternal.

Rather quiet, everyone’s life must be perfect.

NMS

I explained this was a clear demonstration how not to Q a workout.

You need to be flexible and know your PAX but you must be able to articulate clearly amidst the chaos of the gloom especially with the strong mumbkechatter hell bent on throwing you off and distracting you.

I personally wouldn’t have it any other way and am thankful for the PAX that showed and their relentlessness. Blessed to have this brotherhood in my life and always am appreciative to serve at BP.

Shout out to the originator, Jekyll. He started this many years ago. Each week during the month of June, he would q this workout at Laces. Pax would show each week trying to get better each week.

I have a love hate relationship with this workout.
1. First workout I posted to in the Fort (many yrs ago)
2. 2nd workout I brought Shady to. He hated me for a few days after
3. First workout I q’d after my heart attack (2 yrs ago). The one and only time I believe Pax allowed the Q to clipboard Q.

Warmup hanging out with the bot

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

SSH
low slow squat
merkins

mosey down left side of school
changing mode of transport at each light pole
mosey
nur
bear crawl
karaoke
lunge walk

stop at end of blacktop
suicide runs down the length of the driveway area using the 4 lights as the stopping points

3 rounds. 1 minute each. Split into 2 groups
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – Plank
Switch
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – Al Gore
Switch
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – hold a lunge
Switch

activating the lats during a dead hang helps with the movement and also recruits more muscles to punish. We don’t do a lot of grip work, nor pullups due to the nature of the F3 sites, so I think this is important to incorporate OTB or more regularly in workouts.

AMRAP 12 minutes
20 merkins
20 plank jacks
20 bomb jacks
5 burpee pull-ups (PAX can use their momentum from the jump to assist)

THE THANG:

5 pull-ups
Mosey back to COT

MARY: yes

ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of 2nd F

COT: Named our FNG Focker. He is Funhouse’s daughter’s boyfriend so it seemed appropriate. 17 year old who is going to be a senior at Catawba Ridge, and we are glad to have him.
