Who is it that we say we are?
If you get tired, learn to rest.
There is no quitting.
You don’t get to decide when you can stop.
Who is it that we show people we are?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Homer came out victorious mainly due to votes received for use of AO. Thanks to all who participated in 1 or all 4 weeks. It was great to see some bonding between the regions through this event. Don’t be afraid to cross the river.

The parking lot beside the AO is divided into 6 parts. The PAX ran to the bottom of the parking lot and did 10 burpees before bearcrawling up to the next level.

50 LBCs- 50 totalRound 1- Maximus:
Shoulder Smoker: Carolina Dry Docks, Bear Crawl, Wide Arm Merkins, Crawl Bear, Peter Parker, Bear Crawl, Diamond Merkins, Ski AbsRound 3- Bill Nye
I assumed that oxygen deprivation would be kicking in at this point so I made this part simple. 11s. Run up the hill for prison cell burpees, run back down the hill for Ripstick squats.
Prison cell burpee- Merikin, lift your left leg towards your chest, merkin, lift your right leg towards your chest, merkin, jump up, overhead clap. That’s one.
Ripstick squats- Assume the AL Gore position. Perform a calf raise, pausing at the top. That’s one.Round 2- Maximus:
Starting at point on the Criterium Track closest to the parking lot:
Sprint 1/4mi: Rabbits (first to finish the sprint) do Burpees until the six completes 5 Burpees
Sprint 1/4mi: Rabbits do Merkins until the six completes 10 Merkins
Sprint 1/4mi: Once we finished this sprint, we were running out of time so we made our way to C.O.T.NMM:
This morning I(Bill Nye) got to meet several new brothers and I also led half of a pretty good beat down. It was a pleasure to push and sweat with my brothers from both sides of the river. Also, Maximus is a beast and I am looking forward to working out with him again soon. Get After It men! (edited)

Rock Region invades Block Party, Week 2

Twelve of The Fort and The Rock’s finest joined YHC for a little fun at Block Party this morning. It was YHC’s first posting at Block Party and I appreciated Double D giving me the invitation to Q.

The Thang:
Disclaimer was disclaimed–one FNG (Dollywood)

COP:
SSH x 20
Merkin x 10
Mountain Climber x 15
Carolina Dry Dock x 20

Grab a curb, perform the following: Derkin on the curb, then flip over perform a dip, then flip back over perform a Derkin, etc until all of our arms were appropriately burning.

Mosey over to the swingset for 10 pullups, followed by 10 burpees.

Mosey over to Founders parking lot for the following:
Parking lot shuffle (side shuffles back and forth on parking spaces)
Bear Crawl
Crab Walk

Mosey over to hill at WEP for 11’s with 1 jump squat at bottom, 10 merkins at top. Keep rolling until 10 jump squats at the bottom, 1 merkin at top.

Mosey to COT.

I want to thank Double D for the invitation to Q. When I got word that he was looking for guest Q’s from Rock Hill, I jumped at the opportunity. I can remember when I began posting at F3 almost two and half years ago–and men like Double D, CSPAN, Deacon, Pusher, Santini, Chaser, and others were constantly supporting our Pax in Rock Hill by posting with us. Today was a small opportunity to repay a bit of that investment in us south of the river as we’ve grown to over 500 Pax. Also appreciate my brothers from The Rock–Apache, Bill Nye, and Sapper posting with me.

Good work by all today–especially our FNG, Dollywood. Glad to have you out!

Prayers and praises:
Our young people as the prevalence of suicide and other similar negative behaviors continues to grow. Find a kid and invest in them.
Prayers for families dealing with Cancer.

Schrute out!
