Sharks and Minnows at The Block Party

Lots of dudes showed up to the Pond Party this morning .
Pledge..Let's go
First stop, The Pharmacy for SSHs and a couple burpees
Next Stop, New parking lot, Old Hardee's
10 merkins, 10 Squats, 10 LBCs.
Partner up with like speed so you and partner arrive at the destination at same time. I didn't do a good job explaining this, no worries we made it safely to the Post Offices
Same exercises, back to the parking lot, same exercises with partner dips and merkins until six arrives.
Next, we ran to the First Baptist Church parking lot. I did my best to describe this workout as the merkin mile, 20 merkins at each island, each lap, 5 laps = 1 mile. Once complete, we did the same routine swapping out the merkins for squats and LBCs.
Back to COT
Prayers for Wegmans Boston Marathon adventure.

Unlit lights

WARMUP: yes! Absolutely it was windy and cold. We would mosey and then wall sit dor everybody to catch up. As soon as the last guy arrived and sat down against the wall we were up and running again to another random location. Bonsai openly wondered if that was all I had planned. We did it for so long.

THE THANG: truth is: when I Q a moderate I often see who is present and budget our workout accordingly. In the spirit of a moderate, I kept all the counts to 10 or under and the mileage limited. These guys are strong.

The main portion was built around light poles and additive work. We were doing merkins and squats, adding an additional rep each light pole

At pole six and pole nine we stopped even though the lights weren’t on. I made a reference to how some men in our community are like those light poles: present but their light has gone out. Being among F3 guys is like standing in a well lit parking lot. A ton of dudes on fire accelerating.

But are we invigorating male community leadership if we don’t continue to reach out to those guys whose light has dimmed? The sad clowns among us need F3!

So, at every light pole we came across that was out—we did six merkins and nine squats. Turns out there are a lot of light poles at this AO in need of new bulbs or more power. I’m not sure what the metaphor is for sad clowns needing a new bulb or more power, but let’s keep working on EHING them and we can ask after their fifth or sixth post.

Closed with Bulgarian split squats, core work, and some mobility that is always a crowd favorite
