MFBCGA – Not just some random letters

MFBCGA – Not just some random letters

Not sure if it was the pandemic, the introduction of the 4-day workweek, or ultimate Friday, but Friday bootcamps used to have a strong showing.  The most likely culprit would be ultimate Friday and its innate superpwoer to kill pax confidence in a bootcamp beatdown.  Of course that confidence, would have to be as weak as a flying plastic dog toy.  It’s not like bootcamp beatdown confidence has to compete with a gigantic golden dancing rhinoceros that spits diamonds at ballistic velocity.  Or that the ultimate crew’s moment to moment gameplay’s as tight as a gnat’s arse. (Yes, I just wrote an insult that included the word arse and did not refer to any part of the male or female anatomy.  And that’s why I’m a professional, kids.)  It’s just a plastic toy that has the joyful outlook in life of not decaying in a landfill and then ending up in the ocean.  Still can’t figure out what all the excitement is about.

So, YHC has been dodging the Q at Kevlar for a few months.  Maybe not dodging so much as conveniently YHC having “other things” come up, like tattoos or injuries that may or may not be related to late night running at the Arboretum followed by later night “recovery” in the parking lot with 18 – 30 of YHC’s closest 12 ounce friends.  Life happens.

In this case life just so happen to have happened to Orange Whip and his scheduled Q for today.  And when the Slack call went out for a replacement Q, YHC felt just bad enough about his prior behavior that the only good decision was to step up and volunteer.  Here’s how things went down.

Warmup: run around the field. 5 burpees. SSH, 4 burpees, IW, 3 burpees, Low Slow Squats, 2 burpees, Merkins, Peter parkers, parker peters, 1 burpee.

Run across the street to the gazebo. dips, lil hazes, derkins (not FiA merkins), x 10, 15, 20 with a bear crawl to rotate around the gazebo between each set

7’s Gazebo to Cemetary, merkins and jump squats

Run back to the field. At one end, 15 merkins. Run to mid-field. 15 jump squats. Back to start, 15 merkins. Opposite end, 5 burpees. Back to baseline 15 merkins.

Center of the field, 4 corners
Center: 10 4 count Flutter-kicks
Corner 1: 10 Heels to Heaven
Corner 2: 10 Boone Crunch L
Corner 3: 10 LBCs
Corner 4: 10 Boone Crunch R

Time.

“That was just the right amount of burpees” – Poptart

“That beatdown followed the time honored tradition of extracting sweat with all the fervor of a retro arcade extracting coins from the pockets of unsupervised schoolchildren” – Unknown

These were just some of the quotes that could be heard as the pax wrapped up a classic bootcamp beatdown.  Showing once again, that Fridays are for more than fartsacking or running around wearing Mr. Brady’s kids soccer pennies.  On the other side of 51 Lorax was all by himself with the echoes of a well planned … well, of something.  Base on the Slack-blast it was someone pissing themselves and crying in an amusing manner.  And yet, 3 miles away the men of Joust followed Geraldo as the circled the field of ultimate dudes hoping to “snag the bee*” and convert some of those far younger men to MFBCGA.

*Bong hits, anyone?
