Weird Science A.K.A. Working Hard While Other Pax Stand

On a cool October morning YHC posted to the best darn AO in all of A51 with a devious plan in mind.  Over the many moons of time with the F3 brotherhood, a bit of a reputation for the strange has been bestowed on my Weinkes and I aimed to reinforce the paradigm in force.  I was mighty pleased with the count of 7 as the Pax gathered in the dark, a competing event was en force in the AO that morning so YHC wondered how that would impact attendance for the shenanigans, that concern was misplaced.

At the stroke of 0600 we sped, err moseyed, off into the night, down along Rea rd, in front of the church and to the courtyard of the faux-grassy knoll.  There a COP was had which included imperial walkers, slow down jump squats, merkins, mountain climbers and parker peters.  The counts didn’t matter near as much as the fact all pax groaned of shoulder pains by the time we stood again… mission accomplished.

Post COP a wander was had over to the hotbox where party favors had been squirreled away prior to commencing.  Near by our brethren PAX were standing… err learning about kettle bells from the man Byron.  Never have so many PAX gathered to stand and listen, at least not that Gummy is aware of.  As many of the group were of Metro and therefore somewhat unknown to our gathered crew, heckling was kept an internal monologue and the weird commenced.

PAX were divided into three groups and weighted balls were made available.  3 series of suicides were ran and during the first set 3 men of Day Zero swung in to join the fun.

1st Suicide:  Run with weighted ball (20 or 40 lbs. depending) to each cone, set ball down and complete 2, 4,6, 8, 10 or 12 merkins.  During this course the other two groups completed people’s chair workouts at the hotbox (ball pass in front, over head and ground tap style.)  Rotate until all 3 groups had run the suicide.

2nd Suicide:  Leave ball at the first cone and run traditional suicide, completing ball slams of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 count at the first cone.  During this time men on the wall completed balls to the wall exercises of thigh slappers, peoples chair leg lifts and peoples chair ball throws (one pax to another down the line and back.)  Rotate all three groups through this.

3rd Suicide:  done in two groups and subtract Day Zero mid-way through.  One man runs the suicide while remaining men throw 20 lbs. ball basketball camp style while standing in a squared position.  Pax on the wall completed overhead presses (in balls to wall) and one legged peoples chair.

Mosey back to the vehicles carrying party favors and complete dealers-choice mary for the last 2:30 before calling the morning done.

 

Moleskin:

As ever, leading the PAX of TheRock is the gift which keeps on giving.  This one was a doozy and well outside of the norm for this group, yet the atmosphere was light and and grumbling was kept to a minimum.  The boys from DZ hung in well but they’d tell me thats expected of #highintensity.  I am already looking forward to cobbling together my next experiment.

Strong Q Flipper. I felt that one through the weekend. Big fan of the medicine balls.

Good to meet Marlin and Nemo as well.
