Six Shooter

Six Shooter

16 rapscallions sauntered into the Stonecrest parking lot with little direction other than: no hills (no Murderhorn), no rocks, and no Radar. Those that skipped the pre-run got what they came for. Here’s what transpired.

We moseyed to Basil Thai (the non-southend/plaza midwood location left out of the Agenda’s “top 5 Thai restaurants this morning”) for COP all IC

• SSH x 25
• IW x 15
• MC x 20
• Merkins X 15

Partner up and mosey to the ledge in front of Cantina for the Six Shooter – 6 rounds of alternating partner exercises x 100 (ish). Partner 1 ran a loop around the medians whilst partner 2 did the exercises. Flapjack until you reach 100 as a pair.

• Round 1- Dips
• Round 2 – Step ups
• Round 3 – Box squats to the ledge

Inter-mary: Flutter, Dolly

Mosey to Matress Firm for a Freakonomics lesson on how mattress stores stay in business. Cliff notes: It’s the markup. If you’re looking for a mattress, see Poptart – he knows a guy. 8 years of interest free sleep, aside, MF had the slow jams pumping out the speakers this morning.

• Round 4 – Plank jacks x 200
• Round 5 – Makhtar N’Diaye x100…or x50… or however many you felt like doing
• Round 6 – Good Mornings

Mosey behind Target to where what looked like the two employees were gearing up for work. Turns out, they may have been after the fitness as well.

AYG suicides increasing to the 3rd speed bump

AYG from the 2nd speed bump to the fence along the Regal Cinemas, stopping for 10 HR merkins at each speed bump. Avoiding being a speedbump to the delivery trucks

Line up for Peoples Chair on the wobbly fence. I make no bones about doing sketchy stuff during workout – but this one may make the list. 16 guys of varying size, leaning on a semi-sturdy fence, above a 15 foot drop – dubbed the Trust Fall. The fence held, without casualty.

Moleskynn:

The speed loops and partner work kept everyone pretty bunched up today. First time I’ve posted at Stonecrest in a while where MH got no love. With BRR looming, it’ll get plenty of attention in the coming months. I’ve always though of Rebel Yell as a true, blue-collar workout. Always a solid meat and potatoes workout at an AO that offers more options than most around.

Rebel Yell was my first Q back in July 2014 – back when: I was a nice guy, used all the right words, Radar was in F3, Purple Haze wore smoke boots (before the waiter shoes), Crabcake posted every Q’s backblast, and before Murderhorn got really famous. Turns out Morning After posted that one too. A lot has changed since then: @F3BigBlack came and went, running got popular(maybe?) in F3, the SOB region exploded with new growth, Southern Discomfort and Balrog became things, probably a dozen new AOs launched, hundreds of new guys got plugged into a network of men that changes lives.

It was fun to come back with a (slightly) less complicated gameplan and put in work with you dudes this morning.
