Shakedown EH’s the Guard

Nine, yeah nine, guys from 3 regions rendezvoused with their collective destiny at today’s version of The Bridge. Temperatures remained 70 and sunny. According to Marshmellow, the dog, the following demonstration of excellence might have happened:

Introductions…men meeting men. Nothing finer than introducing yourself to another man of purpose.

Quick mosey around the blacktop, road, and back to the blacktop.

COP:

25 SSHs
Dead Man Hang
Fudd’s Wife (the names were change to comply with local custom)
Right leg high
Left leg high
Pigeon left / right
WWIIs
Flutter kicks (YHC can affirm that he witnessed Vinny doing at least one actual flutter kick, rather than the traditional Freddy Mercury)
Freddy Mercuries
Squats

Mosey to the other end of the black top for Touch a Tree
10, 8, 6, 4, and 2
Rounds included WWIIs + merkins, gas pumps + dry docks, yadda, yadda, and burpees + burpees

Mosey to the asphalt pile. The Bridge installed an asphalt parking area last year. There is a left over pile of asphalt (aka, a playground for us). Triple check was called. Dealer’s Choice decline or incline merkins on the picnic table bench, WWIIs, and bear crawl the asphalt pile.

Mosey to something that is distinctly not a corner for 4 corners.
10 merkins. Then, 10 merkins plus 20 WWIIs. Then 10+20+30 squats. Then 10+20+30+40 SSHs. OR, dealer’s choice…just do 40 burpees. No takers finished the burpees, though Links made a push.

Numbers, names, and Twenty-Eight took us out.

Annoucements:

Great to see Vinny, meet Sysco, and meet the four new interns at The Bridge. Way to push!

Prayer requests for Sysco’s family, people working to heal themselves, and so forth. Apologies if YHC missed anyone.

NMS: Shakedown chatted with the guard today. He’s our kind of guy. After discussing F3 and the basics of who we are, he said,”That’s this. This type of good work. The book says that “Faith without good works is dead.” Bam. A guy who spends his time allowing the rest of us to workout has done his own workout. We should have named him.

Welcome to Cheesesteak and 28 (or Twenty Eight). Cheesesteak is an Eagles fan, so while we like him and welcome him, he’s clearly on the road to becoming a better man (but will be limited by his support of the Eagles). By contrast, 28 is a lifelong ‘Skins fan, Darryl Green fan, and generally a top level human working to be better day by day. Welcome, gentlemen!
