Turkey Pyramid
Sixteen men showed up in the chilly gloom to kickoff Turkey Week with a burpee-free pyramid of fun.
The Thang:
Warm-up jog to east lot. Brief COP w/SSH and Merkins x10. Jog back to west side of fields to pickup blocks and rocks. Mosey to south lot and circle up for Turkey Pyramid:
- Lap around parking lot – both islands
- Overhead presses
- Curls
- Squat thrusters
- Hand release merkins
- Arm lifts
- Tricept presses
- Flutter presses
- Derkins
- V-ups
- Jump-ups
- Pull-ups (including run to/from playground)
Build up pyramid to Pull-ups. When finished, reverse the pyramid.
Cut-off with 5 min left
Return blocks and plank at back of field. AYG back to lot.
COT
Moleskine:
- Holidays always seem to evoke a spirit of sharing, caring, and in F3 workouts: Pyramids. We made sure this Thanksgiving would be no exception.
- Several strong performances out there this morning, but as usual, it wasn’t long before Lobster Roll was way out in front, tossing the block around like it was a basketball. Alf was close behind – several others, but it was mostly a blur due to the sweat freezing in my eyes
- We came close to finishing the pyramid (at least a few did), getting down to round 4 on the backside. I think I was in round 6. Nice push gentlemen.
- Latecomer Cheesecurd claimed he couldn’t find us initially and thought we may have gone off campus. Luckily he finally found us around round 3 of the pyramid. Not sure how he missed a mob of men throwing around cinder blocks in the parking lot. Maybe he was watching from afar thinking it may not be too hard.
- Site Q: Noticed we’re getting low on cinder blocks – may need to replenish. I think we lost at least one more this morning from the pax manhandling
- COT: Great take-out by Squid (as always)
- Always a pleasure to lead my closest neighborhood workout The Matrix, thanks for the opportunity
Announcements:
- Christmas Party next Friday. Toy Drive – bring toy drives to your site Q. Operation Sweet Tooth
- Turkey Bowl postponed – may be a convergence on Thanksgiving. Check Twitter
- Friday – convergence Kevlar and Joust converging at Joust 7am

Pretty rough morning for me! I think I was still sleeping, but I was on my way to the Skunkworks when I realized I should have driven to Matrix.
Ok, I wasn’t that late… One trip around the school and then I found some shadows running across the field. I knew you guys picked up something, just thought it was a rock, not cinder block….so besides the one Alf broke today, thanks for sharing guys!
As for the workout, I am sure it was good if you did it in some order. I “TR’d” myself through this one. Given the shaky start to my day, I figured if I was doing something, better then nothing!
