Seal of Approval

Seal of Approval

12 men gathered under the parking lot lights and eye of the security guard at Calvary to be forged on the #F3Anvil. Here’s a review of what we did.

The Thang

After a brief, but heartfelt, disclaimer, we moseyed up the Rea/51 cut-thru road to the parking lot area by the big sand piles where we gathered for COP:

• IWs x 10IC
• Hillbillies x 10IC
• MCs x 10IC
• Merkins x 10IC
• LSS x 10IC

We ran over to the rocks by the softball field and picked a solid lifting rock. We took our rocks over to the parking lot and lined up abreast at one of the light poles. We did three rounds of lifting running.

• Round 1 – Merkins x 10, Curls x 10, Presses x 10, Squats x 10, Flutter Kicks x 10IC, Run to the far cones (unless you’re @Brilleaux, then you stop short) and back.
• Round 2 – Merkins x 15, Curls x 15, Presses x 15, Squats x 15, Tricep Presses x 15, Lunge walk then run to the far cones and back.
• Round 3 – Merkins x 20, Curls x 20, Presses x 20, Good Mornings x 10 + Squats x 10, Dollies x 15IC, Run to the far cones and back.

Return our rocks to the pile and mosey to the soccer pitch, at the base of hill. Find a partner. Partner 1 runs the hill, 1 burpee at the top, 1 jump squat at the bottom…keep repeating until Partner 2 returns from the hotbox after completing 15 step-ups, 15 dips and 15 derkins. Flapjack. For round 2, we did 5 merkins at the top and 5 squats at the bottom and 10 Lil’Haze each leg, 20 dips and 20 incline merkins in the hotbox.

After some planking, we circled up on the wet pitch (per Stone Cold’s request) for Mary.

• LBCs x 10IC
• Heels to Heaven x 10IC
• Right elbow to left knee x 10IC
• Left elbow to right knee x 10IC
• Flutter kicks x 10IC
• Toe tap crunch x 10IC
• Freddie Mercury x 20IC
• American Hammer x 10IC

Run back to launch point. Right at 2 miles and the @Hops’ Bootcamp Seal of Approval.

Moleskine

Solid group of men like always at #F3Anvil this morning, including @Lorax being there to back to back weeks for the first time since becoming site Q and a #Kotters appearance from @49er. YHC hadn’t seen @49er much since waking up with him in the spooning position on a BRR van in 2013…it was magical. He did some pre-run with @StoneCold (who apparently pre-runs every workout he attends) and looks as fast as ever. Hope you keep posting brother.

The rest of the guys are pretty much #F3Anvil regulars, showing up every week to put the work in. Good to see @Hammer owns something other than a #Klimpsun shirt. @Hannibal complained pre-launch about a lot of merkins and burpees, of which we did some, and tried to attribute a merkin ladder workout to a YHC Q. Think you have me confused with @IronHorse, which hurts. A lot. @Hops is sweating machine, wringing out his shirt and creating a stream running down the parking lot to the campus drainage ponds. It was MrBrady-esque.

@Dangerfield…18…Senior year…posting at 0530 on a Wednesday. Solid work young man. @Snuka has speed to burn at 56. @Scratch&Win has amazing bandanas. @Brushback bragged about how awesome NCState looks in its preseason hype videos. It was all a good time.

Thanks for the opp to lead @Lorax. Great take out by @StoneCold
