FYF: The Red Rocket Chronicles

9 (or maybe 10 and I can’t remember who the 10th was) found a safe space while <@U012K8DDK7V>‘s dog microaggressed a bunch of them with his red Rocket at Currahee…
– Ruby Slippers flew in 10 minutes early to be 5 minutes late
– Falcon Crest was hoodwinked early in his rucking career by Mainframe into buying a 45# plate, which is something he is sure he’ll eventually be grateful for
– 3D’s GTE prep continues, but he doesn’t mind if it doesn’t include any more Crawl Bears
– Italian Job only sang 3 90’s hits, which is indicative of how tired he must be from his weekend in Wichita
– For a hearing doctor, Decibel claimed a lot of “unable to hear” for his lack of compliance with instructions
– fishstix taught us his award winning atomic wedgie techniques to be employed at a later time. Probably when you aren’t looking.

WARMUP: OMS (old man stretches)

THE THANG:
Evolution 1 = 1-mile time hack – 14 minutes to complete
– Starting at corner of school, around big loop clockwise, turn left to go behind the school. Take the outside lane in the small lot, then take a left around the big loop and continue to the flags at entrance of school

Evolution 2 = Furman University (FU): founded in 1826 (14 minutes)
– 18 man-makers – buy in
– 26 curls
– 26 merkins
– 26 OHP
– 26 bent over rows
REPEAT if time (minus the man-makers — we forgot the deadlifts)

Evolution 3 = Abdomination

– 40 2-count flutter with press
– 20 Simbas
– 10 double leg lifts

Evolution 4 = Hate loop time hack – 8 minutes

Baker Mayfield is not Pence

WARMUP:
SSH, merkins, squats, Broga

THE THANG:
Untraditional 11s. At first I wanted to go all the way through from 10 to 1, but YHC quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to make it so I modified as needed. We worked through the first two exercises from 10 down to 8, then flipped to the next two exercises. Then flip back down for 7-5, then flipped back. Last set was 4 to 1.

We got through two sets of exercises before time ran out.

Merkins alternating hand on bell
Chest press

Second set
Squats
Set ups (each leg as 1)

Next round
Curls

NMM
Below is an AI generated backblast about yesterday’s workout. Some of it is true.

The sun had yet risen where the flags would be, and the usual quiet was shattered by the sound of furious guitar riffs echoing across the lot. Rumbling Bald himself had decided that today was the day he would reinvent himself as a heavy metal solo act. His amps were cranked to eleven, his hair (which may or may not have been real) was blowing in the breeze, and every bird within a mile radius had fled in terror.

In a parking spot nearby, Birdcage was already five tall tales deep. “And that’s when Dark Helmet single-handedly wrestled a grizzly bear with a lightsaber and taught it calculus!” he boomed, waving his arms dramatically. Nobody was buying it, but everyone kept listening because Birdcage’s delivery was too good to ignore.

Time Machine, meanwhile, sat cross-legged on the asphalt, looking like he had aged a century overnight. “What am I doing with my life?” he muttered, staring off into the middle distance. “I mean, posting at Varsity? Was that really my legacy? Out of all possible timelines, why did I land there?” He sighed so deeply that Rumbling Bald’s double-bass pedal briefly went out of rhythm.

Finally, Spiderman dropped in from a nearby tree branch, landing with a thud. “Hey, uh, what’s all this?” he asked, eyeing the stack of cinderblocks Italian Job had been planning to incorporate into Bald’s stage show.

“Those,” Rumbling Bald growled, “are for dramatic effect. I need someone to swing them into the pit when the breakdown hits.”

Spiderman looked at the rocks, then back at Rumbling Bald, then immediately raised both hands. “Nope. Nope nope nope. Swinging heavy things is not in the contract.” With a single web-thwip, he was gone before anyone could argue.

Birdcage stood, puffed out his chest, and pointed dramatically toward the horizon. “Did I ever tell you about the time Dark Helmet built an entire stadium out of marshmallows just to host the galaxy’s first interstellar dodgeball championship?”

Time Machine groaned, Rumbling Bald shredded harder, and somewhere in the distance Spiderman was still muttering: “Nope. Not my job.”

And thus, the morning at NaFo ended the way all their gatherings did—half concert, half existential crisis, and entirely ridiculous.
