New blood (OTB)

WARMUP: went over the basics: SSH, merkins, cherry pickers, low slow squats, windmills, couple back stretches
THE THANG: a you vs. you morning! Everyone grabbed a piece of chalk where we did AMRAP (as many reps as possible) for the following exercises in 2 min each (in between we ran about 150 yards and back in the parking lot of Panera).
Exercises were: merkins, squats, LBCs.

We wrote down our individual numbers after the 2 min were up. We then did a rinse and repeat but with not a lot of time remaining (total workout today was only 30 min), we cut our chalk numbers in half and the goal was to beat those numbers by 1, and have at least 1 min, or more, to do it.
MARY: didn’t leave time today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: high level newsletter updates and 10 yr “what’s going on”
COT: covered the basics of what COT was and closed out. Wrapped up the next 30-45 min with coffee answering “what makes F3, F3” questions and things the guys were interested in knowing!
