Mr. Hugh Midity

I recently asked Badlands for a Q At Sweep The Leg. He gave me June 13th and I accepted the assignment forgetting that was the Monday after a week at the beach. Vacation is rough on the body. But all in all it turned out fairly well. Ran one of my fastest miles 7:42 pace that morning and it all went quickly  downhill from there. Noticed a fairly large gathering for my Q which was obvious since I’m a celebrity in F3. Noticeably missing was Bobber.

The Thang

Told everyone what the plan was at 5:14. Which was, run to Berkshire Heights meet at the stop sign. Go clockwise around Berkshire stopping at every stop sign and doing 5 Hand-release Merkins, 5 X and O, 5 Jump Squats. There are 6 stop signs all the way around and one big hill the last 1/4 mile. The next loop add 5 more reps to same exercises for 10 of each. Everyone got over 2 loops some pushed for 3. Finished with 3.35 miles the others got 4. Thanks Badlands for the Q I enjoyed hearing the complaining  from the Pax.
Last thing men. Let’s show the world what a real man looks like. Be kind to strangers even if they think differently than you. Hold the door for a lady as she exits the store. Open the car door for your wife. Go buy her womanly things without bitching about it. Say your kids prayers at night while tucking them in. Push the buggy back inside the grocery store. Love you guys more than you will ever know.

Prayers for Decibel son Noah and his recovery

Mostly Respectables

WARMUP: Imperil walkers Followed by LBC’s Followed by Low Slow Squats
THE THANG: The Chunk of the workout was: 7 light post. 5 merkins at each light post. Transportation was running to each. Once you get to next light post you must run back to the beginning and do 5 merkins at every light post ect ect. the fore runners where Fogerty, Bassomatic, The Twister and Senator Tressel

After we completed there was a nice hill next to the drive and I decided lets go exploring. so we made our way to the bottom where 5 of us stayed and did mountain climbers (Senator Tressel call by the way) while the other 4 Pax NURED up the gravel hill. Once at the top they yelled down to us and we NURED up the gravel hill while they did 10 Burpees. Once we made it to the top we did 10 burpees. By the time we finished the Burpees the 45 min clock was looming in so we made our way back to COT.
Once we arrived we got on our six and just spent 2 min in the quite listening, smelling the air, and just being still. we are way to often on the go and never take time to just be and be in that moment.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your news letter, Trash Pick up
COT: Prayers.

Once again grateful for the opportunity to Q

The Slo-burn climbed a ladder or two

14 Pax accelerated into the weekend with a workout plan that offered Jacob’s Ladder, 5 of Diamonds, and a Ladder that offered burpees, Donkey Kicks, BigBoys, BombJax, and Squats.

We began the beatdown with a slow mosey that would keep the group close together and offered up some mumble chatter on the lack of ground covered with this small lap.

The group circled up for some warm-up :

SSH, Squats, Merkins, Cherry Pickers, Moroccan Night Clubs, and some stretching.  The group quickly transitioned into two rounds of a 1-minute HIIT – 10X Merks, 10XSquats, and 10x LBCs.

After the warm-up  – we partnered up with Jacobs ladder using partner merkins and partner big boys. Each rep was completed simultaneously by each partner w a hand slap for accountability.  Partner Merkins with a mosey to another side of the parking lot for the Big Boys.

Once completed, we transitioned into a modified 7 of Diamonds, ( 5 reps was the factor)  -four corners were the destination.  ( 5, 10, 15, 20 ) Round 1 – 5 Bobby Hurleys at each corner. Round two offered 10 Merks at each corner, round three offered 15 squats at each corner.  We kept the group together by adding cadence w volunteer (voluntold) random pax leading the count.  The mode of transportation was greeted w some groans from the group.  Mosey, bear-crawl, NUR, and modified lunges took us between the 4 corners.  The Pax finished the round with Flounder taking control and offering a modified version to keep the Pax guessing…..

As time was quickly passing, the men moseyed down a slight incline to be greeted with the uphill ladder as the final round.  The ladder contained 9 squats at the bottom rung, followed by 5 burpees, 6 Donkey Kicks, 7 Big Boys, and 8 Bomb Jax.

We headed back to COT for a 5 min round of Mary to close out the day.  Shout out to Change Order for breaking out the Boat/Canoe which was greeted by a time check request and more mumble chatter (or groaning)

Prayers were offered for upcoming Graduation, travels, marriages, surgeries, and overall blessing for the group.

Nice work!!
