Leading from way, way behind
Date: 2024-02-07 AO: wamrap Q: poptart PAX: Alf, rachel, double_e FNGs: None COUNT: 4 To keep Rachel from leading, I stepped up and took the reigns. I decided we’d use not one, but 2 blocks today. While running to top ofparking deck we did 20 of the following: curls, tri extensions, overhead press, jump squats, hand release merkins, lunges and V-Ups. 10 Blockies at the top, then head to the playground for 10 pull-ups. Repeat. I think everyone got 4 rounds except me, who got through 3.5. Good luck to Double Es 2.0 on his VT tour this weekend, and Alf was reminiscing about his glory days on campus. I think he said he use to dress up as the mascot while at school? And somebody get Rachel some clothes for next time.

Nail Appointment
Date: 2024-02-05 AO: firestarter Q: war_eagle PAX: Franky, teddyf3, Deadbolt, Starch, das_boot, Odd Job, wildturkey, Rousey, Point Break FNGs: None COUNT: 10 WARMUP: Mosey to 131 Main for COP.
THE THANG: – Head to the A1nail Bar on Ardrey Kell for our nail appointment. But instead of manipedi’s we got big ol rocks. Circuit of 11’s with 1 curl, run to the other end of the lot then 10 burpees. Work down 2&9, 3&8, etc. Next circuit was same concept but rock press flutters and big boy situps. Wanted to do a circuit of squat press and monkey humpers to hit the legs but not enough time. – Mosey back to Blakeney stopping again at 131 Main for partner parking lot bear crawl merkins. Had a whole nother plan for partner work on the playground but only enough time for the parking spot bear crawl merkin. Maybe next time. Brisk pace back to launch for 1 minute of plank then finito.
MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Madison’s daughter is organizing a 5k in March. Sign up via Slack. – Marta is always looking for more blood donors. There is a huge shortage. Please consider donating at his next drive.
COT: YHC had to leave early to get a 2.0 to school so not sure who took us out in COT. – Point Break has gotten in shape y’all. He crushed the curl/burpees and lapped us. – Starch is 2 weeks in to F3 and already regained his November Company form from The Citadel. – Deadbolt put work in and did not cheat the exercises. The Q is supposed to be watching these things and Deadbolt did more reps than required. When it came down to 2-3 reps on the 11’s he was doing more. If you are going to run down to do a set make it worthwhile am I right? – Das Boot is best all around be it running, bootcamp, 2nd F, 3rd F…he is everywhere. – I think Wild Turkey just stayed at Blakeney since Davinci and worked out the whole time. He’s a machine. – Odd Job and Franky took a break from running more miles than Forest Gump to slum with the bootcampers and both barely broke a sweat. – Rousey looks to be all healed up and pushing guys to get better…and of course always pushing himself. – Speaking of healing up Teddy continues to defy medical timeframes and limitations and is pretty damn impressive in what he is able to do coming off of major surgery.
It was an honor and privaledge to lead this group. Thanks gents for coming out.
