4th F Theory

Written by

Five WestHo studs especially endowed with 4th F power welcomed an SOJ takeover in subzero temps. Marking YHC’s 10th Q for 2025 and (per Big Data) YHC’s 410th documented Q, YHC put experience to work ensuring we all stayed warm.

The THANG: 

WARMERAMA: 

  • Mosey loop around the lot, completing x10 Broad Jump Burpees en route
  • Second lap picked up Handshake arriving late and completed another x10 Broad Jump Burpees so he wouldn’t feel left out
  • Circle up near the Virtual Shovel Flag (because YHC’s truck camper-shell locks were frozen and therefore unable to access the real shovel flag…)
  • Welcome & Disclaimer
  • The usual DTH top to bottom IC Reps

GETTING THERE:

  • Mosey down River Road toward UofR with Gumbo’s headlamp leading the way
  • x10 Monkey Humpers IC in Saab’s driveway
  • Keep running, avoid the deer carcass
  • Access the training fields

DIME POUNDER COUNT DOWN:

  • Like a quarter pounder but stops at every 10 yard line, and reversing order to start with the 100 and counting down to 10
  • Run x100 yards, x100 SSH, Bernie back
  • Run x90, x90 Plank Jacks, Bernie
  • 80yd, x80 Oblique LBC’s, Bernie
  • 70yd, x70 Monkey Humpers, Bernie
  • 60yd, x60 Dry Docks, Bernie
  • 50yd, x50 Flutters (2-ct), Bernie
  • 40yd, x40 Lunges (1-ct), Bernie
  • 30yd, x30 Merkins, Bernie
  • 20yd, x20 WWII, Bernie
  • 10yd, x10 Burpies, Bernie

USE THE HILL:

  • No good hill left behind!
  • Bear crawl to the top
  • x10 Chain Smokers
  • Crawl bear back to the bottom

GETTING BACK:

  • Mosey back up River Rd
  • Avoid getting hit by a car
  • x10 APD’s in Saab’s driveway (scolded by Handshake for counting cadence too loud)
  • Return to Virtual Shovel Flag

MARY:

  • x10 Scrunchy Frogs IC
  • x10 Rosalita Dips IC

COT:

  • Counterama # 6
  • Namerama
  • Announcerama (see Below)
  • HUTTON kindly took us out in Prayer

Prayer Requests:

  • Chaplain’s M’s Uncle Charles – stroke
  • Fireman Ed under treatment
  • Kubota illness

NMS:  During our little field workout YHC was astonished with the frequency and volume of the West Ho’s 4th F expression and developed a new F3 4th F theory – the earlier your AO starts, the less time your body has to leave the F in the Fartsack, thus increasing the F-factor during the workout. Anyway, it was a good little beatdown, no MABA madness though the early broad jump burpees had Handshake nervous. Nice to see Atilla twice this week, and excellent coffeerama at Starbucks! Look forward to next time gents – thanks for tolerating SOJ’s takeover! Gonna aim for hitting 500th Q this year, so just 90 to go. Yours AYE! ~DTH
