FOUR-ways and Flatulence

FOUR-ways and Flatulence

About FOUR weeks ago I reached out to Chopper and asked if he would be open to co-Q #Firestarter and #The Maul.  If you know Chopper, then you know he was up for just about anything. We reached out to the Site Q’s; Teddy, Wingman, PatentPending an MadameTussauds.  They moved a few Pax out of the way politely asked if we could take the Q.  The significance?  Glad you asked… Myself and Chopper were FNGs on February 1st 2017 (4 years ago TODAY) and our first AO was The Maul (Wednesday) Yep – we’re back in action Wednesday, so don’t delay, set your alarm now.

We’ll save the why F3, how have you grown over the last 4 years, how did you get your F3 name, etc. for some quality 2nd F, later this week – more on that below.

The Thang –

So as mentioned above this was a split Q – I (Fredo) took the lead on the first half of the workout:
Brief Disclaimer – 13 somewhat veteran gents, and a quick PS: FOUR Merkins at every stop sign regardless of direction (mumble chatter followed…)
Mosey up towards 131 Main –  and immediately hit with a stop sign (4) merkins – mosey a few feet (4) merkins, and so on for at least six octagonal speed bumps before getting to 131.

COP
–         SSH x 40
–         4 plank jacks in cadence
–         Imperial walker x 40
–         4 plank jacks in cadence
–         LSS x 20 (some relief was apparent when i stopped at 20)
–         4 plank jacks in cadence
–         Lungs in cadence x 20
–         4 plank jacks in cadence
Mosey out of 131 down the hill – Luckily no one noticed or my poker face is better than I thought…I lead the men straight through a mind field of Four-Way stop signs… 16 merkins at each. Little did they know the four-ways were all part of the grand scheme.

Mosey around to back of Target
–         Street lights… some were off – but if they were gas lamps, we could have LIT them up
–         Run up two, 4 Big Boys
–         Run back one, 4 Monkey Humpers
Grab some wall
–         Sevens  at this point I was starting to eat into Chopper’s half of the Q so I improvised a little.
–         1 Mike Tyson / 6 Donkey Kicks Four Mike Tysons and Four Donkey Kicks
–         2 Mike Tysons / 5 Donkey kicks

Mosey around to Blakeney Heath
Chopper:
Quads up hill and back
–         Bottom do x 4 squats
–         Top do x 4 lungs (ea leg)
–         Repeat x 4

Mosey to Blakeney – Down by the stairs in the middle-ish – several stop signs were passed, some were honored, and reduced sentences were handed out. Thank Chopper for the reduction…
–         Grab some wall / peoples chair
–         40 arm raises in cadence
–         Shake it out /back to peoples chair
–         40 punches OYO
Check time

Back to start
–         Mary plus FOUR hand release burpees (for good measure)

Done

Moleskin:

– Great group of men today, fortunately the stop signs also helped keep the Pax together. Squeezed in a little mary here and there at the signs too. Thankfully PointBreak kept me honest and I didn’t get too crazy with the numbers. Midriff requested a merkin count and later landed on 144 – sounds about right (as planned). Chopper gave everyone a break on the way back down, I heard PaperJam’s mumblechatter die down about that time too.

– Sweetwater and I have known each other for ten or so years, finally got to one of my Qs, probably because I showed up to his VQ – great add to the Pax.  Trickle and BigBen were relatively quiet out there except when we got to the MonkeyHumpers – BigBen earned his namesake with some rather loud flatulence… several others joined in.  Sunday dinner must be a good thing in SOB and Waxhaw.

– Teddy has done a great job promoting #Firestarter (another guy helps, can’t recall who Teddy’s wingman is though).  Must be hard to turn down that easy going smile… speaking of smiles – TinyTeen TanyaTine (received some feedback), I need to know more about this F3 nickname please. Great to see a bunch of Waxhaw guys mixed in with SOB.  If you haven’t yet, check out the two workouts Wed/Fri at Marvin HS. Thats where I met Noonan and BigBen. Noonan can deliver a beat down with the best of them.  Great to see Smuggler and Fiji out today too.  When I saw the White Jeep, I knew it would be a good morning.
