The Thang:
30 PAX showed up in the Gloom at Skunkworks for yet another beat down. Instead of spending a lot of time putting miles on our shoes, the Pax individually completed around 362 reps with kettle bells, 455 reps without along with some cardio mixed in. Overall, 817 reps completed in 45 minutes. Strong work today from the PAX and after a few of these routines we might be asked to join the Greek Gods on Mt. Olympus.

Lots of chatter from the PAX before the PAIN began, which was shortly squashed when we reached the KB burpee squat thrusts. Thankfully, no one lost any teeth…needless-to-say those were PAINFUL.
Might need to rename this routine as the AUDIBLE since I was a little optimistic about the number of reps I had initially planned for, however thankful the PAX liked the idea of changing from 150 reps to 100. Maybe next time we’ll shoot for the 150.
T-Claps to the entire group. It is always nice to see everyone pushing it to the limits and makes being a Q that much more satisfying. Welcome 2 FNG’s Liquor-Cycle and Short Round, hopefully you liked the workout and we get to see more of you. Actually, special T-Clap to Short Round who after the PAX broke off, came to me and said his job requires him to carry 80lbs bags all day and when asked if he’d return, he said “anything that can make me stronger like this will help me at work”- great attitude.
Finally, retiring the name Queen B was overdue. Our Queen B has officially gone through the metamorphosis process, earned his stripes and now known as THE NATIVE. Now that we changed your name, you are required to come more than once a week!
As always, thank you for letting me lead and I am grateful for the opportunity to work out with F3. – The Hoff
