Final Thoughts: The Graveyard Shift is swelling in numbers! Great to see Mudslide – he has been very active and checking out a lot of different workouts. Really enjoyed hearing about Big Rig’s first 10k over the weekend. Well done, sir. Not really sure why Florence refers to himself as having Chicken Legs – he seems pretty strong. Enjoyed it fellas!

Big Rig, Chaplain and YHC rose from the dead and dragged our feet over to Rockwood at 4:30 am. Not even the usual eyes of the wild animals staring at us from the woods was seen this rainy, cold morning. Here’s what’s written in this horror story :

Numbers, Names, YHC took us out in prayer after COT

Continue to pray for those impacted by Hurricane Ian. My hometown of Venice FL is a mess with home damage and fallen debris. North Port is flooded still. Further south Port Charlotte and Fort Myers are completely destroyed in some areas.

NMMS : Emphasis today on getting YHC’s chicken legs stronger and working on grip strength. Went for form over reps. Enjoyed it brothers.

At the ungodly hour of 4:30 am, 2 men embraced the ultra-gloom at the latest edition of “The Graveyard Shift.” A brief summary for your viewing pleasure:

Final Thoughts: A good time was had by all! Working out this early on a Monday is a huge challenge, but have to admit – feels great to get out there. With Big Rig unable to attend, we had to keep the momentum going. Appreciate Florence’s continued motivation and leadership down here in SOJ land. Would love to have others join in the fun.!

3 Zombies arose groggy and shuffled to Rockwood Park’s inaugural Monday Morning OTB boot camp. No one but us witnessed the following :

On basketball court, two different knee stretches for 8 minutes.

Mosey to tennis courts

Triple Check : Partner 1 runs to opposite end and back, Partner 2 does Merkins, Partner 3 does Big Boi Sit Ups

Lindsay : Run to opposite end and do 10 Jump Squats, run back and do 30 LBC’s. Add 5 reps each round to the Jump Squats and decrease 5 reps each round for the LBC’s until you complete 40 Jump Squats and 10 LBC’s.

11’s : Run to opposite end and do 1 Merkin, run back and do 10 SSH. Increase merkins by 1 rep and decrease SSH by 1 rep until 10 Merkins and 1 SSH have been completed.

Line up at starting line. 1 person runs around perimeter of tennis courts while the other 2 lunge walk to the opposite side. Rotate the runner. Repeato same process back to starting line.

Mosey BTTF but realize Big Rig left his headlamp so turn around to mosey back to tennis court. Grab lamp and mosey all the way BTTF.

Numbers, Names, YHC took us out in prayer after COT

NMMS : T Claps to Big Rig for reaching out to YHC to ask about an earlier morning workout option that started at 4:30 am near him. When YHC suggested he could start a workout himself, Big Rig immediately replied Yes, he’d like to do that at Rockwood Park. 99.9% of men would have used their work schedule as an excuse not to post to F3 but this HIM instead looked for another way to post. And T Claps to Chaplain for making a longer drive than us to post this morning. It wasn’t expected but it was much appreciated.
