Rudy had an excellent beatdown dialed up for his SOJ brothers only to have Mr. Rogers and Handshake, the Westhoe Bros, arrive with the Ghost Flag, snatching away the Q. Apparently, this is Rudy’s 2nd time having the Ghost Flag. What are the odds? And just what are these Westhoe Bros all about? 16 strong at The Alamo found out.
Warm up: Run around the horse shoe (high knees, butt kickers, karaoke).
COP: Introduction. Disclaimer. SSHs, DQs, Cherry Pickers, Mt Climbers, WWIIs, & Merkins. Recover. Enough of that: Let’s roll!
Westhoe Bro Mr. Rogers was up first w/ some Parking Lot Fun: Hop to the next parking space and crank out 5 Merkins. Go all the way to the end. Go back with a Crab Walk to the next parking space and knock out 5 Jump Squats at each. Then Lunges w/ Plank Jacks and finally Bear Crawls w/ WWIIs.
Next up? 7s w/ Mike Tysons and FMs.
The Q was then passed to the other Westhoe Bro, Handshake, who improvised, jumped right past a Septouple Check and introduced an F3 first: The Octouple Check. 8 men on a line. The other 8 form a parallel line. Men facing each other pair up. One line picks an exercise. First pair runs the horse shoe while the remaining pairs perform their exercises. Runners return, go to the opposite end of the line, all pairs shift down a spot and perform the next exercise. If this doesn’t make sense, it’s because it’s a friggin’ Octouple Check and you just had to be there.
Squat Walk to the bend in the lot. Form 2 lines again. First pair Bear Crawls alllllll the way down to Big Blue, Handshake’s truck. Next pair waits 10 seconds, then follows. And so on.
Pair up again. P1 runs to the fence and back. P2 Squats. Then WWIs. Then more Merkins. 6:15am!
Numbers. Names.
Announcements:
Century Classic 2.0 CSAUP May 2-3. Don’t think about it. Just sign up. What could go wrong?
Rudy will be doing a Draft Day themed Q soon. Rudy is a bigger football nut than me. And apparently Draft Day is his biggest football day, bigger than the Super Bowl. What?! This Q should be epic!
Corned Beef will be leading a crew at the Bridge on April 26 and Big Herm’s got it on May 10.
Prayer Requests: Flyboy asked for prayers for his neighbor’s M, who is suffering from Liver Failure.
YHC took us out.
Moleskin: Man, I just love F3. Fun to buddy up w/ Handshake, steal the Q & meet some new dudes. All before 7am. What a great way to start the day. Good to visit SOJ. It’s been a little while. The Alamo has tons of new guys, and everyone is 30. Heist and others have done a fantastic job of inviting new guys to join and giving away this awesome thing that was shared so freely with us. In fact, Heist is working on another FNG right now. Wildcat had a good lung scan recently. And despite his ailment, he was still the fastest one out there today. What the heck?!? Great to briefly chat w/ and share some laughs w/ guys I’ve never met before like Toby, Matlock and Flyboy. Always a pleasure to see Warby and I”m looking forward to him Qing Circus Maximus soon. It’s a blessing to be a part of this brotherhood. Rudy, thanks for letting Handshake & I crash your party. Lookin’ forward to seeing what you do w/ the Ghost Flag. Have a great Monday gents and I’ll SYITG!
