6 Brave men didn’t fear the 22 degree weather and got out of their warm cozy fart sacs to post in the gloom at Weddington High School.
It went like this:
COP
50 SSH IC
5 burpees
30 Imperial Walkers IC
5 Burpees
40 Mountain climbers IC
5 burpees
20 Squats IC
5 Burpees
15 Merkens
Mosey around the school to the first court yard:
20 Step ups
20 Derkens
20 Dips
Rinse and repeat
5 Burpees on your own
Mosey to the second courtyard
Peoples Chair Right leg up and 20 shoulder presses IC
Peoples Chair Left Leg up and 20 shoulder presses IC
20 Step ups with high knee at the top with right foot on bench, the switch and repeat with left foot on bench.
20 one leg squat with one foot on the bench IC, repeat with other leg.
Mosey to the back of the high school stopped at the bottom of the steps, the PAX asked if we were doing Sevens or Elevens, YHC had in mind something a little different:
Run to the benches at the top of the steps do 50 Dips, run back to the bottom and do 25 Merkens.
Run to the top again and do 50 Dips, run back to the bottom and do 15 Diamond Merkens.
Run to the top once more and do 50 Dips, run back to the bottom and do 10 Wide arm merkens.
5 Merkens on your own.
Mosey to the snack shack plank it out facing the wall and did a 5 position exercise it went like this: hand on the wall, other hand on the wall while holding the plank, hand to the ground, other hand to the ground, merken = 1 rep did this 10 times IC
Peoples Chair, and did 30 air presses and 30 jabs IC
Plank facing the wall again and repeated the exercise 10 reps IC
Did some SSH IC to see if would help me feel my fingers again… it didn’t.
Mosey to the rock pile and did peoples chair while waiting on the PAX, too cold for rocks, at this point I had no sensation of my fingers, mosey to the front of the school for some Mary:
50 LBC, 30 Bicycle, 20 Heels to heaven.
5 Burpees
Ran a lap around the parking lot
Grabbed some short wall and 50 dips IC, then did high knee step ups again 20 each leg IC and followed with 30 DIPS IC.
More Mary:
50 LBC IC
30 Flutter IC
20 Bicycle IC
Ran another lap around the parking lot
And then did Burpees IC for the last 2 minutes left, I think we did about 17 of them.
Moleskin:
Thank you for the opportunity to lead again, it was a great workout with quite a bit of emphasis on chest and triceps, definitely going to feel it for a few days. Everyone push hard today, besides some frozen fingers I think we managed to stay pretty warm. I have to say that I was surprised by Shop Dog’s speed today in one of the sprints around the parking lot, when he turns on the jets that man can move fast!!, but actually I am not surprised since this is not the first time I have seen him move this fast, in the past YHC had to get out of the way a few times for fear to get ran over, while Shop Dog flies by with his “Yell of war”.
Popeye has been regaining his speed, he has been spending most of his time recently lifting heavy, sacrificing some speed in the process, but if I ever get in a bar fight I want him by my side, also today when YHC’s hands were freezing he offered his personal warming “space” which YHC kindly declined since I really like my gloves and don’t want to have to burn them.
Bottle Cap always pushes hard throughout the workouts and his gains in speed and strengths are evident. And I think he was inclined to take Popeye’s offer to keep his hands warm.
Good Fella is one of the newer additions to F3 but he is fast and strong and looks like he has been doing this for years.
Snowflake was a beast as always, could hear some deep grunting coming from him while he was pushing his way though the workout, he also declined Popeye’s offer but I think I heard him say “not today”, which is smart since winter is coming you never know how cold it will get.
Thank you BC for taking us out, did some Cafeteria afterwards.
