Flipper and Voodoo have ‘Dangerous Charms’

Date: 2023-07-31 AO: swole Q: Unplugged PAX: mighty_mite, The Worm FNGs: None COUNT: 3 We did the Pat Flynn spreadsheet mostly 3 x 12. But who cares, it was @mightmight’s last swole post before tying the knot, cruising in Italy, and moving to the Fort.
Since @flipper the new site Q and @voodoo were not absent, the Pax surmised they stayed up late watching Lifetime movies. So to honor @mightymites years of serving SOB/A51 at swole, I give you a Chat GPT produced Lifetime movie plot, starting Flipper and Voodoo. ———– Title: Dangerous Charms
Plot Synopsis:
In the picturesque town of Willowbrook, Emma Collins, a warm-hearted and resilient young woman, finds herself entangled in a web of deception, danger, and dark secrets. As a recent transplant to the close-knit community, Emma is trying to rebuild her life after a painful divorce. She starts a charming little bookstore called “Whimsy Pages” that quickly becomes a beloved local gem.
Unbeknownst to Emma, two mysterious newcomers have set their sights on her and her thriving business. Flipper, a suave and charming con artist with a gift for manipulating others, arrives in town posing as a friendly entrepreneur. He soon establishes himself as a successful businessman and crafts a façade of generosity and charm that quickly wins over the townspeople, including Emma.
However, Voodoo, a brooding and enigmatic figure, lurks in the shadows. With a checkered past and a knack for exploiting people’s fears, he becomes Flipper’s unlikely partner in crime. Together, they concoct a scheme to take control of “Whimsy Pages” and exploit Emma’s vulnerabilities for their sinister gains.
Emma’s life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Lucas, a determined and caring journalist who suspects something is amiss with the charming duo. As their paths intertwine, Lucas becomes both Emma’s ally and romantic interest. Together, they begin to unravel the truth behind Flipper and Voodoo’s sinister intentions.
As the tension rises, Emma finds herself torn between her growing feelings for Lucas and her vulnerability to Flipper’s manipulative charm. She must summon her inner strength and resilience to protect her bookstore, her newfound friendships in the community, and most importantly, herself.
As the malevolent duo’s true identities and dark pasts come to light, a thrilling climax ensues. Emma and Lucas must race against time to expose the villains’ true nature and save Willowbrook from their wicked grip. The story culminates in a heart-stopping confrontation, where secrets are exposed, and justice prevails.
“Dangerous Charms” is a gripping and emotionally charged Lifetime movie that showcases the strength of the human spirit in the face of deception and the power of love to conquer evil. It’s a tale of redemption, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds that form in the unlikeliest of circumstances.

Spider-Frog-Crawl Lets Go

Date: 2023-07-29 AO: davinci Q: C3P0 PAX: kirby, Palmolive, soft_pretzel, Franky, Sabertooth, DiVito FNGs: 1 DiVito COUNT: 7 Starting work early on Friday I thought I should play some music in the background. Pulling up my play list, I quickly fell down a rabbit hole of songs I haven’t heard in years, and decided to add some musical motivation to my DaVince Q. WARMUP:. Mosey to the cinder blocks by Target (that was further than expected). Play list started light with Smithereens & Metallica. Circle up and 4 minute of Faith No More increasing the intensity while we SSH, IW, LSS, Merkins, and some stretching THE THANG: In F3 we don’t run backwards enough, and we don’t run with cinderblocks enough either (for good reason?), so we grabbed 1 cinderblock for a Backwards Indian Run. The PAX with the block is in the back, he does 1 blockee, then runs with block (not backwards) to catch up to the backwards running PAX. Hand the block to the bloke in the back, and sprint to the front. Simple enough, right? Fortunately, that only lasted for 4 minutes, but was intense, so Slipknot supported in the background. The next song (also 4 minutes) was a blissful B-52s instrumental that we enjoyed on our six, doing pretzel crunches, box cutters & heals to heaven. Resume our commute with regular Indian Run, we continued up the road & really spread out. This just got messy with the different speeds and abilities. Helmut & Soil (mid-90s pounding metal) got us to the playground where we split into 3 groups, for a 3 piece circuit: 1. run lap; 2. incline rows on the swings; 3. pull-up/negative pull-up & jump squat. More intensity supported by Static-X & Metallica. The laps took longer than expected (tired PAX?) so we only did one circuit. Line-up for 2.5 minutes of Spider-Frog-Crawl, which starts in a plank, do left-right spider man move, feet hop forward up to hands (like you’re doing a burpee), then from that frog position, bear crawl-style with your hands back to a plank. Rinse and repeat: Spider-Frog-Crawl & when you need a break do a burpee ;). They were as fun as expected and appropriate for some more Slipknot-level anger to push through. Easy walk to the edge of playground for round 2 of abs (pretzel crunch, h2h, box cutters) with Silver Chair supporting. Another poorly executed Indian Run trading the block we made it all the way with only a brief pause to let the six catch up (smoother Nero and B52s). Drop off cinder block and start lunge walking back to Faith No More, and then easy mosey with Linkin Park playing “No More Sorrow” MARY: LBCs to the end to “Turn the Page” (Metallica’s version of Bob Segar’s version). ANNOUNCEMENTS: 24-hours of booty, Waxhaw’s 4 Year Anniversary on Labor Day September 4th (mark your calendars it’ll be a multi-region Mega-convergence). Also, Robotics Workshop hosted by YHC coming in mid-August to introduce dads (moms too) to a robotics program that you may want your kids to join, details to come as I figure them out. COT:. Welcome to our FNG DiVito, brought out by @Franky. He’s committed to come next week too

I do wish we could workout longer, but I’m having an old friend for dinner.

Date: 2023-07-29 AO: olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: voodoo, The Worm, mighty_mite, high_tide, Horsehead, tigerrag FNGs: None COUNT: 7 Armed with a tiresome cooking theme, YHC came out slinging kettlebell dishes and the pax came hungry. Due to an imminent road trip this weekend, YHC is going to keep this write-up pithy. Overall, strong pump today loosely based on Mr. Flynn’s directives. Good to have Horsehead and tigerrag join us in addition to the usual salty dogs. As the kids say, Bone Apple Tea. WARMUP: Amuse-bouche – 10x high pulls, prying squats, 1-handed swings (5x e/s), synovial circles, and halos (5x e/s) THE THANG: (1) Primi – Squats 3 Ways: Heavy swings (15x), squats (12x), slingshots (5x e/s); 3 sets varying the squats each set with goblets, single arm overhead, and rack squats (2) Secondi – Panini Press: Heavy cleans to press (3x e/s), 6min EMOM (3) Super-Size Merkins: 2 sets of max reps of merkins (4) “6 for $5” Combo Meal: 6x lawnmowers, 4x snatches, 5x high pulls (6 sets, alternating arms each set) (5) Palate Cleanser Carries/Holds – suitcase down; water back (2 sets alternating arms); 60 sec double hold (20 sec waiter / 20 sec racks / 20 sec farmer) (6) Mignardise: 3x swings, 2x cleans, 1x press (6 sets alternating arms each set with 45 sec rest between sets) (7) Dolce – “Complex” Complex: Voodoo complex (2x), Cowboy complex (2x), and High Tide complex (2x) MARY: Brief set of slingshots (10x each way) ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Midriff is doing a thing that sounds painful: f3southcharlotte.com/2023/07/28/the-homecoming-ultra-5k-preblast/ – Big congrats to Mighty Mite on his forthcoming wedding next weekend and imminent house move. Enjoy and hope to see you in a few weeks – Good, but sobering reminder from Runstopper that a lot of our brothers are out there suffering silently. Don’t let each other suffer alone – reach out for a cup of coffee, invite pax we haven’t seen in awhile back for a workout. Thoreau was painfully right that most men lead lives of quiet desperation, but it doesn’t have to be that way…let’s lead the way COT: Joined Lex Luthor and the gents of The Rock to take us out in the COT

3 or Less…

Date: 2023-07-27 AO: peak-51 Q: Spammer PAX: slim_fast, Sensei, gullah, kilowatt, Spammer FNGs: None COUNT: 5 WARMUP: Mosey to Kristophers parking lot for some SSH, IW, Squats, Sharon Towers and Hillbillies.
THE THANG: mosey to Matthew’s Library for some four corners. Every corner had an exercise and every time you passed a corner you had to stop and do the exercise. Each time you got to a new corner you had to backtrack to the beginning and do the exercises all over . Corner 1: 25 LBCs, Corner 2: 20 H2H, Corner 3: 15 Merkins, Corner 4: 10 Plank Jacks.

Not enough time to do a second round, so we did another full pass around the building reversing the exercises, so we started with 25 plank jacks and finished with 10 LBCs.

Took a lap around loop in front of library and then mosey to the benches near Flying Biscuit. Here we did three rounds of three exercises. 20 Step Ups , 15 dips and 30ish seconds plank.

Returned to launch for 20 WWII sit-ups and awaited the return of the Sparta crew.

Two walkers participated in none of the above.

Kudos to Fleetwood and SlimFast for making it all the way to Ballantyne Commons. We’ve had a long stretch of hit and humid mornings, but today felt like the worst one yet.
COT: Grateful to SlimFast for closing us out.
