Calling all hot guys!



Calling all hot guys!

After a crazy wind storm last night our Metro Q, Pepe, was without power and asked me (LATE) if I could cover for him. Pepe was a professional male model in Italy at one point  – no not the George Costanza hand modeling type –  the kind where they take pictures of your face…..allegedly. Knowing this would draw in some guys I posted Pepe’s modeling prowess to the Slack channel and pulled Joker right into the trap. Sadly for him, he had to look at me the whole workout.

The Thang

Run to Aldi for warmup, SSH, LSS, BLC (Big League Chew – new exercise), merkins – run back

Rocks – grab a lifting rock

  • 50 shoulder presses -> run and do 10 merkins, 40 shoulder presses -> 10 merkins, etc.
  • Partner work at hill – P1 – 200 cumulative curls, P2 runs hill & back
  • 3’s – P1 flutter press, P2 leg lift press P3 – runs between (timer) – Q Fail here, we abandoned ship

Fish Bowl

  • Wall Sit Marches (30)
  • Balls to wall shoulder taps (?)

Parking Lot – merkin parking space descend

  • 5 merkins, side crawl, 5 merkins, back 4 merkins, back, etc. down to 1

Finale: do 1 burpee + 3 jump squats, 2nd light do 1 burpee + 3 jump squats twice, continue to end of road

Various abstacles and we were done….

 

Moleskine 

  • Big League Chew has a voice of southern gold, the bedside manner of a newborn calf & the warmup routine of a WWII infantryman. He has been posting faithfully for years and at 50+ years old he comes out and hits it hard every week. He deserved his own exercise. The exercise is uniquely called “The Big League Chew”. Basically you uppercut punch in cadence….basically the signature BLC warmup. Congrats BLC, you’ve finally made it.
  • The A51 Nantan Voodoo has been making his rounds and making sure that we’re all following his orders. I did not know boss was going to be shadowing me today but overall I think it went fairly well….until I saw him running with his giant rock for the relays per some poor instruction on my end. Regardless, I think we helped him hit his merkin quota for the month, thus he gave me a raise.
  • Manziel started yelling “Aww, damn Chipotle” after about 7 minutes into the workout. Apparently the M is out of town and he’s been perusing the different bowel movement factories that call themselves restaurants to save himself from actually having to cook something for the kids. Fortunately we were right next to the Port-O-John and after several minutes he was able to jump back in.
  • FaultLine rejoined the ranks after various mountain biking injuries and is still pushing at the front of the PAX. His groans are half motivating/half scary but he doesn’t let up for one second
  • Spyglass came without his boyhood counterpart Chubbs. The moustache is getting stronger and creepier each week. There may be a male modeling career in his future and he still has the baby skin to make it happen.
  • Horsehead left early and missed the worst part of the workout. He said he had a 6:30am dentist appointment…and when asked he paused and said his dentist’s name was…….Crentist.
  • Rhapsody on the takeout

Fairly light Fun Friday and a nice morning all around.

Announcements

  • Give to Give Campaign Ends tomorrow
  • F3 Passport challenge – visit as many AOs as possible through the end of the year (see Slack for details)
  • Manziel is collecting backpacks for kids going back to school or money to support the cause – thanks to BLC for his donation today!
  • Bring a friend to F3, reach out to someone you haven’t seen in a while, try to talk to someone you don’t know at a workout….let’s expand the brotherhood!

Thanks – Whip

Well done today, Orange Whip. A solid beat down and a backblast! Thanks for having me. It was good to be back to Kevlar and to see some old and new faces.
