Not Reinventing the Wheel

Not Reinventing the Wheel

On a perfect June morning, 18 pax (including 1 FNG) converged on Base Camp for a very unoriginal Weinke by a very grateful Q. YHC began his F3 journey 52 weeks ago at this same AO, so the plan was to relive that suck.

The Thang:

Warm-up jog around the parking lot with butt-kickers and high knees, waiting for Adobe to roll in. He was a little later than normal today, so off we moseyed to the football field.

SSH x 26
IW x 26

Enough warming up, let’s get to it:

Jack Webb: went to 7 merkins, 28 air presses
Jack Webb Abs: went to 5 H2H, 20 LBC’s
Just for fun, we did 8 merkins and 32 air presses before taking a cool-down lap around the track in preparation for the main event.

Circle back up in the center of the field and break into 4 groups for the Starfish:

5 burpees in the middle
Four corners: 10 merkins, 15 squats, 10 CDD’s, 20 LBC’s

Once you go to a corner and complete the respective exercise, come back to the middle for 5 burpees. We did this for about 20 minutes and each group should have gotten in about 3 full rounds (around 65 burpees). Torpedo led the flutter (x15) while we waited for everyone to finish.

Mosey on up to Semi-Gloss’ morning office for some People’s Chair: one minute wall sit; recover. One minute wall-sit with 50 air presses led by Fireman Ed (big mistake).

Finish off with some Mary:

Dolly x 20
Freddy Mercury x 20
American Hammer/Russian Twist x 15
Rosalita x 20
30 LBC’s OYO
Finished off with one minute of plank (Fireman Ed has terrible plank form)

Time

Moleskin:

Making up new exercises is overrated. YHC is a firm believer in stealing ideas from other people. The starfish was the main event on my virgin post, and it was the worst thing I had ever been through. YHC was fat and completely out of shape. Now: in much better shape and a little less fat (pizza and beer have something to do with this). Needless to say, everyone, including YHC, did much better this time than I did that morning a year ago. Strong work by all, especially Knight Rider and Hannibal. Very impressed by Chin Music, and Crayola – even thought they’re fairly new, they kept up darn well. Also found out I live about a sand wedge away from the Once-ler. Good times.

Thank you to Simba and myself for letting me lead. It’s always very exciting and very humbling to lead the men of F3.
