Friday Ultimate Smackdown

Date: 2025-01-24 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: MARTA PAX: MARTA, Smokey, David Baker, Fruity Pebbles, Shank, sweeney_todd, Pfeffer, Victoria, Spyglass, Paris, Slumdog, Crawdad, Spikeball, Yeti, Mayo, biden FNGs: None COUNT: 16 Pink with a Friday Victory by 1
Pink (2s) Vicky Shank Mayo Marta Pfeffer Smokey Slumdog Crawdad
Yellow(1s) Sweeney YETI SPIKEBALL Paris BIDEN FRUITY PEBBLES Spyglass Fly with me
A glorious return by the former commisioner, vicky, in an attempt to execute a deep state coup over 2nd teem commissioner spyglass. Though vicky won, the people spoke and maintained spy in his rightful seat. Many changes to friday ultimate to come.
Lazy game until lax turned on the lights for us at the end. That’s when the smack talk began and the lights were too bright for fruity get away with incessant fouls and or hurt folks like he didwith McGee. Close game to the end but Pink scores the final two with a slick throw from smokey to Shank for the win.
1 more week till football field is ready which is good because the LAX players were eyeing my heated blanket.

We kicked things off with leg swings, shuffles, karaoke, and butt kicks to shake off the icicles. :ice_cube::fire:
Then we unleashed the beast with our main event: – 5 Tarantulas + 5 Burpees :spider::boom: – Run 100m, 200m, 300m and 400m intervals, climbing up and racing back down to 100m! :chart_with_upwards_trend::checkered_flag:
But wait, there’s more! We hit the deck for a round of ab crushers to catch our breaths. :sweat_smile:
Next, we powered through 5 rounds of bear crawls and crawl bears, throwing down 5x reps each of merkins and toe taps like bosses. :bear::muscle:
Wrapped it all up with 2x rounds of 3-minute reg/side planks that would make a carpenter proud—rock-solid for minutes on end! :bricks::mantelpiece_clock:
Mad props to everyone for pushing through the cold with fiery spirits! Let’s keep this momentum as we march towards conquering more icy mornings! :fire::rocket:
