8 Masochists climbed aboard the only 45 min. Saturday pain train at Bon Air Station. What was in store? Not even Machismo knew. But as Nancy Pelosi once said, “you have to Q the workout to do the workout.”

Mosey to the Riverside School for a Warmarama: SSH, Michael Phelps, Oblique L, Oblique R, WWIIs, Merkins, DQs.

Lap around the course to start. at first it was a triple check. Then Machismo, inspired by his trip to Mt. Trashmore audibled with 4 corners partner style. 4 laps, 4 stations done in tandem, 20,15,10,5. Corner one link up situps “Big Boy Situps” Link arms with your partner for the reps, Corner 2 Partner Leg tosses, Corner 3 No Cheat Merkins with shoulder tap at the end, Corner 4 Squats.

13 min. left on the clock, mosey BTTF.

Hold plank for a quiz. Credo Fail (10 Burpee penalty) 1/2 Credo fail 5 Burpees. “Leave no man behind, leave no man where you found him.”

Hold 6 in. 5 core principles quiz. Free for all men? does that count for 2? Ends in the circle of trust. fumble for 10 WWIIs. Outdoors rain or shine, Peer led in a rotating fashion.

5 M.O.M. for the finish practicing the peer led part.

Announcements including preblast on slack. A quick search of Slack suggested no F3RVA challenges but Salt Lick posted about the Make America Burpee Again challenge. 100 Burpees a day for January. 3100 burpees for the month. Get started. There is a website f3maba.com to push yourself. COT found prayer request for 3 Pax’s Ms with 3 babies coming Months 4, 5, 6 of this year. April May June. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

Coffeeteria was excellent with 6 pax making the trip to the polk house for some extra strong coffee machismo style. Glad to have the fellowship gentlemen.

Machismo and Belay were nearly late to the welcome party for Trojan. Machinehead, Tin Man and FNG Luke hereon “Trojan” were in their cars waiting on the temps to rise upon YHC’s 5:59 arrival. No time for small talk the pax went right into side straddle hops. As Machinehead and Trojan quickly found they were missing key winter hand apparel the pax scrambled for extra pairs of gloves. Tin Man produced a pair and Machismo grabbed some mittens for Machinehead. Properly attired the pax continued warmarama: SSH, Merkins, Freddie Mercuries, X-Cross Sit ups, Montain Climbers, Don Quixote’s.

Mosey to the Riverside school.

YHC was feeling the need to get the pre-burn on for the upcoming glutteny so this workout was sponsored by the abductors.

COP#1 four corners prostitute stile 10 WWIIs, 20 Freddie Mercury double count, 30 American Hammers, 40 Alabama Prom Dates. Hit every corner coming and going building up to the main stage APD.

COP#2 YHC found a loosely conscribed track around the 2 playgrounds and the school house. Start at the far in for a longer triple check. 1 runner/timer and paired pax for alternating exercises. Merkins and Imperial Squat Walkers, Plank and SSHs, Hold Plank and Alabama Prom date. Timer YHC announced the new exercises upon arrival.

Mosey across the tundra to the back side of Bon Air elementary for a quick run of alternating wall sits and donkey kicks. 3 sets brought us close to time.

BTTF for a 5 Burpee Cherry. Numbers, Names and naming. Announcements, Prayers. Great to have one more FNG at the Bon Iron. This one was the EH of Machinehead. According to him Trojan has a gift of teaching men about sexual purity so what better monnacure that one involves protecting one’s privates. Awesome to have growth in this fine group.

Prayers for babies, both M.H. and Trojan have 2.0’s in utero. Raj YHCs nephew is improving, his eyes were open today but he is still sedated and intubated at CHKD Norfolk. Pray for the many families experiencing struggles this holiday season.

Coffeeteria was frigid as YHC dropped the tailgate and served from the airpot rather than going inside. Loved the fellowship. YHC got talking about Snuffs idea of using a battery pack to power a perculator. Belay stopped listening.

(YHC read the BB from House Party mentioning the lures of the Fartsack. LFG the Iron’s first FNG was lamenting over text his deference to sleeping in over building his body mind and soul. Mike Rey (LFG) says he will return. )

YHC wanted to focus on community building today, so we took a literal tour of the structures that hold a community together: The Church (Faith), The School (Education), and The Library (Shared Knowledge). Like water molecules, we needed a little cohesion to pull it all together.
Warm-Up:

Quick mosey to the Church Parking Lot to survey the perimeter.

The Thang:
Part 1: The Church (Faith in the Reps)
We surveyed the 12 doors of the church.

• Doors 1-5: 10 reps at each station (Merkins, American Hammers, Freddie Mercurys, Squats, WWIIs).
• Doors 6-10: Combined effort for 150 Side Straddle Hops (SSH) total.
• Door 11: Burpees.
• Door 12: Imperial Squat Walkers.
  Part 2: The School (Higher Learning on the Wall)
  We moved to the school for some education on pain tolerance. We alternated reps with all PAX assuming the People’s Chair, performing the exercise while holding the wall sit, separated by an intermission.
• Round 1: People’s Chair with Muhammad Ali Air Punches.
• Intermission: 10 Donkey Kicks (OYO).
• Round 2: People’s Chair with 10 Hoedowns.
• Intermission: 10 Donkey Kicks.
• Round 3: People’s Chair with 10 Milkers.
• Intermission: 10 Donkey Kicks (OYO).
  Part 3: The Library (The Book of Pain)
  Final stop at the Library for some lines and corners.
• Cocaine Bears: Bear crawl a parking space, stopping at every line for a Merkin.
• Broad Jump Ladder: Back across the 13 lines. Broad jump the space, then Squats increasing from 1 to 13 reps at each line.
• Four Corners:
• Corner 1: 20 Merkins
• Corner 2: 30 American Hammers
• Corner 3: 40 Squats
• Corner 4: 50 Raise the Roofs
  COT:
  Count-o-Rama, Name-o-Rama.
  Moleskin:
  Small numbers but high impact today. L Woods gets the assist for the pre-blast and rallying the troops. Machismo put in the work on the EHs, but his invites decided the fartsack was warmer than the gloom.
  It didn’t matter though. We experienced that scientific phenomenon—like covalent bonding or surface tension—where water molecules pull together tight to form a drop. With just three of us, the community was formed instantly. We toured the pillars of the neighborhood (Faith, School, Knowledge) and sharpened the iron.
  Great work men.
  

Chad and Brad where running late as the clock struck 6am and Machismo wagon pulled up just after with trailer in tow. Brad was sitting in his jeep impersonating Tin Man. When the pax went in for closer inspection the true identity of the Jeep driver was discovered. Brad finally responded to the EH and none the less on a 21 degree morning in the gloom. But what did Machismo have in store?

After dragging brad out of his Jeep. The pax circled for a warmup. Circles and rotations were a theme of the workout. The pax discussed the origins of the Ukranian soldiers as we hit, SSH, Ukranian Soldiers, American Hammers, Etc.,

Mosey to the spindle. YHC gave a brief introduction while Brad marked a tree. This Q took a turn towards forced labor as the pax were in for a version of indigenous people run as Machismo was reclaiming the spindle for the White farm. 3 pax on the spindle rolling it up hill as the 4th member did 5 burpees. Spindle was rolled up to the school where the pax completed a lap around the bike training course with a 10 burpee penalty for crossing any of the lines. After a victory lap around the circle it was to Machismos waiting trailer for one last push.

Thang 2:

Being well rounded as he is Machismo next invited the pax for a quattro de checko. With abs, legs, and arms. 3 pax worked while 1 pax ran to the fence at the end of the tundra. Squats, Merkins, and American Hammers.

With time expiring the pax hit a 5 minutes of Mary. With 4 pax ab excercises included 2 seldom used ones from our new personal trainer “Brady Bunch” Brad Howren. X cross situps and some sort of hamstring bridge leg raise. Pax finished with pickle pounders.

With time out we did numbers and had the opportunity to name our new pax member. Brad has several siblings and jokingly populates 50% of the adjacent Church Stony Point Presbyterian. He plays in the band and is a personal trainer. Given his music prowess and the Dookie’s attempt to jar his memory for famous family bands. Machismo gravitated towards the Brady Bunch. Brady was close enough to Brad and with multiple musical family members the name seems to fit. Machismo did a quick search of Brady Bunch episodes and it appears we may have missed an opportunity to call our FNG “Sergeant Emma”. Welcome our newest Pax Brady Bunch.

Machismo blasted the group late last night noting a quick exit to take his son to an early morning soccer game and the AO responded. There was plenty of mumble chatter about how we can support motivate and encourage those in our charge and the early Saturday start coupled with the 45 min. Std boot camp proved just what YHC needed.

The pax marched down to Riverside School for warmerama

ssh, DQs, mountain climbers, merkins, etc.

next ensued 2 rounds of 11s with dips and step ups and ww2s and burpees under the pavilion.

Bttf for Mary and a little tibata.

sitting at the soccer field writing this backblast waiting for the game to start. Let’s keep on getting up for our children and putting the work in at home. Talks of an F3 campout father and children were had.

Snuff texted late last night saying the Q looks open. Machismo realized he had mistakenly put himself down for Mammoth balls instead. Living the life of column AO#7 on the Q sheet requires more precision than Machismo is able to conjuor. That said YHC stepped up to the challenged and attempted to live up to the mistake with a ballzy 300 Q.

Warmerama. SSH, LBCs, uks, among others were had. Along with 24 Merkins which started our countdown. 300 merkins was the goal for today. Starting at 24 and working out way down to 1.

mosey to the riverside school. 23 22 21 20

Thang 1 4 corners prostitute style. Corner number 1 19 merkins. 20 squats, 30 lbc, 40 ssh. The pax kept chomping down on the merkins.

Thang 2 11s at the Gazebo which looked especially nice as Tin Man had done the metal roof on it. Step ups and dips. Pax got down to 11 merkins

Thang 3. Hill sprints on the ball field. Sprint to the top of the hill by the track. Do hand release merkins at the top.

mosey to the school for some donkey kicks and more merkins by the conex.

bttf for 1 hand clap merkin.

it was pleasure to lead the pax today. Coffeeteria was especially delicious. We were reminded a of the need to get the call out to more HIMs and fill the table at the bon iron house. Next week we aren’t in the house so Machyman will try to bring the airpot.

Go eagles! (Scram’s soccer team not the NFL) Let’s focus on those we coach this week and encourage them to do their best.
