AWESOME GROUP!!! YHC had everything on paper as usual.. had 3 minutes to get to 6:15 so we lined up on the curb and YHC said “trout, name an animal that starts with an A”.. we made it to “U” before Trout was stumped and said “Umpire!”. You could tell Opus has several children because he knew them all. Great way to end the beat down

Blessed to lead as always. Thank you

I had the headlock on a recent new guy to the area I met at the frisbee game Sunday….thought I had a hard commit but I guess I was wrong. Oh well, still had 5.

We did a Beast on the gridiron. It was awesome.

Sorry to the 4 others that I am late getting this up. A toilet exploded on the 12th floor at work and water flows downward. It also does not play well with electrical things.

corned beef got me pumped up Monday at Anvil saying Daville this week would be epic. Jump out of bed, drove over early to stretch, and then waited and waited and waited and no one showed up. Went on a run and did some sit ups and called it a morning… it was epic to bad ya’ll missed it..

November 10th will mark the 246th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. YHC decided to take the Q to make Daville a USMC themed beatdown. Lucky for us, we had 2 visitors from Hampton Roads to mix things up.

• COP (mosey to basketball court)
  • SSH x 20
  • Imp Walkers x 10
  • Helicopters x 10

The Thing

Four Corners – With us still only having 5 PAX members, 4 Pax members went to the corners of the parking lot. The 5th PAX member (YHC) then ran to a corner and called out an exercise. Once arriving, the PAX member then ran to the next corner and did that exercise. Everytime YHC ran to a corner, he changed the exercise. The exercises were the following:

• Merkins
• Freddie Mercuries
• Burpees
• Hold 6 inches
• Jump Squats

Five Mosey to the bottom of the hill

Bear Crawl/Run/Bernie/Run – Bear Crawl to the turn, 10 Merkins, run to the bottom of the hill, 10 merkins, Bernie Sanders to the top of the hill, 10 merkins, run back to the start, 10 merkins. Repeat this until the top of the hill.

NMS

It was great to be back to DaVille on this voting morning. YHC had not posted at DaVille since he suffered an injury in the middle of August. His Q was slightly rusty, calling Bernie Sanders the Barry Sanders at one point. (Not sure what a Barry Sanders exercise would look like. Any ideas?) As the PAX arrived back at the VSF around 6:10 AM, Opus came running up. Opus then told the PAX that he arrived in the parking lot at 5:28 AM and didn’t see any PAX members. Spike, who was in the parking lot when YHC arrived, said he arrived at 5:28 AM. The rental car clock might not be completely accurate Opus. It’s always fun to go off campus but for those late arrivals, they are never finding the PAX until close to 6:15 AM when we return to the SF. After COT, 4 of the 6 PAX members went to vote at Atlee High School. It appeared only Trout and YHC had a polling place elsewhere. Have a great voting day everybody!

Gotta Run!

Phonics

3 guys showed up for something a little different. Here is what transpired

COP — not sure what we did — didn’t write it down…

Spider merkins
8 sets of 8 different merkins on a curb. Sometimes we had one hand on the curb, then we had two, then one foot, etc.

Beasticide
Run the damn beast but run it as a suicide.
6 of each exercise always returning to the start after every stop.

Jump Squats, SSH, LBC’s, Merkins, IW’s Burpees

Back to the Flag for some stretching, numbers, names, etc.

Great time with the boys this morning! Beautiful weather for a beatdown!

Hell, I don’t know, it’s close to all three so here we go.

Opus AND Spike showed up to ruin my RomCom moment of sob singing Happy Birthday to Me while holding a cupcake with a candle in it (you know, right before the awkward guy gets in to the popular group or hooks up with a girl waaay out of his league…..think Pitch Perfect). Yes, it’s also my F3 anniversary some time around here….and during one of my anniversary Q’s was Swiper’s first posting. It’s all crammed in there together. May as well celebrate with a Tabata.

We did pretty much the same workout we did two weeks ago. It’s my jam now, because it’s extremely hard for 20 minutes and the rest is warmup/cooldown work. Supposedly it burns fat for like 2 days or something….who knows. One of these days, I will get all the times right and maybe come up with some new exercises. The ones we have are good ones though, and cover pretty much all the groups….but I’ll look around for some variety.

I hope everybody has a great day!

Lab Rat apologizes…

Also, Shakedown is older now as well.

Best story of the day goes to Fannie Mae. He was out running this weekend and a few Atlee Cross Country team members were running behind a little ways behind him — one of them says out loud “Hey, there’s an old guy we can catch!” At which point, Fannie Mae got angry and started booking it and left them in the dust. Great workout this morning, gents! See you in the gloom!!
