One ran four at five in the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were a seasonal 70 and sunny. According to the woman wearing one sock correctly and another sock only halfway on, the following might have happened.

Usual Broward Blvd. Route. Somewhere around 4.5.

Number, name, and YHC took himself out.

NMS: It’s “winter” in south Florida, so it’s time for the circus. Canadians, Brits, Ruskies…you name it. The actual circus is also in town…something called Cirque Italia. It’s an Acquatic Circus. Sounds exotic. Get your tickets now.

Announcements:

Pigskin, being Pigskin, is being a true H.I.M. One who acts on behalf of others. He’s leading The Bridge on January 24th.

Sign up for Breaking Bread. Make dinner for 8-12 folks recovering from medical conditions in a safe environment. It’s on the Q sheet under HIM.

Frozen Triangle…tentatively February 7. While YHC likely can’t make it this year, it’s a fun event. The definition of CSAUP, and a fantastic way to make friends through a mutual challenge. Make a commitment to doing something that will push your boundaries.

One final down range post during the break at AO – Sharknado in Murrells Inlet. 2 F3 Grandstrand PAX and YHC did block work to bring in 2026. 11s with swings and blockees and 2 block farmers carry between. Ended with a few random block exercises like curls, skull crushers and OH press. Coffee after. Great to chat and get to know a could have the guys I’ve posted with this week. Feeling blessed in this new year and looking forward to getting back home to sleep in my own bed!

One intrepid young man rose before the dawn to finish off 52 with 2.5. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the ducks swimming on Lake Florida, the following might have happened:

38 pound ruck and a 25 pound excess tummy moseyed around for 2.5 miles.

Number, name, and YHC took himself out.

Announcements:

3rd F opportunities:

1. The Bridge,
2. Breaking Bread,
3. Sit on your butt and do nothing. Work the phrase, “HIM” into posts on Slack.

Posted down range in Surfside Beach, SC at the AO – The Oyster, with 3 of the F3 South Strand PAX. Temperatures were much cooler than these beach boys are used to as they gave me crazy looks rolling up in shorts.

Peaches had the Q and ran us through a chatGPT created workout with various exercises to spell out New Year in quantities of 26. Ended with a little jog and plank to close it out.

Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers- Asked the PAX to pray for Wildcat.

Posted down range with 14 of F3 Grandstrand PAX members for a cooler than usual for this area beatdown. Jeter was on the Q and brought a Four Corners prostitute style workout with 2 burpees, 4 squats, 8 LBCs. Double the quantity at each corner. Moved to bear crawls, merkins and WW2s on the basketball court. Numbers, names, announcements and prayers. Looking forward to posting a few more times this week down here!

Knowing the next few days will bring double portions of Christmas ham and hot cocoa, YHC opted for a double-helping of beatdown with the Carpex PAX this morning.

THE THANG:

Christmas Eve is the big deal in Poland. So YHC shared a set of Polish traditions starting off with watching for the first star of the evening (Star Jumps) and recognition that it’s the Angel, not Kris Kringle, who brings the gifts in Poland. 

Thang 1: 12 course meal of 12x rock exercises / 12 squats / shuttle run

We usually leave an extra spot at dinner so 12 rock burpees for that little bit extra. 

Thang 2: after dinner we open presents. So my present to the pax is 12 burpees 

Thang 3: midnight mass after dinner and gifts. Lots of time on knees so we did a set of Jack Webbs back at the flag. 

MARY: nope 

ANNOUNCEMENTS: convergence NYE

COT: Prayers for travelers; spoken and unspoken; healing; Nature Boy 

Merry Christmas Eve all! 

YHC joined his GrowRuck 59 compadre Shut-In for a downrange beatdown in the Carpex Region. The Wolverine AO welcomed an additional 8 for this morning’s festivities, and since Wolverine is a “heavy” AO, there were plenty of coupons to go around.

Thang 1 – Partner 1 performed burpees with sandbag tosses over the shoulder while Partner 2 ran out for Australian mountain climbers then back to switch. Ran this circuit for about 10 minutes.

Thang 2 – Partner 1 bear crawls across the basketball court dragging a sandbag, then crawl bearing back dragging the bag. Partner 2 performed 5 pull-ups from dead hang and then swapping out.

Thang 3 – Partner 1 walks the biiig parking lot loop, throwing their sandbag out ahead of themselves as they walk. Partner 2 performed a set of 5 block thrusters, 10 block curls, and 15 block overhead presses and then switched with their partner. It was during this time a sandbag virtually exploded as it hit the pavement.

COT and Coffeerama at Biscuitville to conclude the morning.

9 F3 Winston-Salem PAX and YHC showed up this morning to the YMCA parking lot for a good workout!

Warmup with typical IC exercises. Ziggy (F3 Winston-Salem) had the Q and ran an ascending 4 corners style workout. Reps went 5-10-15-20-25 and worked way back down until time. Corner 1 – Merkins, Squats, American Hammers; Corner 2 – Werkins, Jump Squats, Heels to Heaven; Corner 3 – Diamond Merkins, Lunges, Freddy Mercuries; Corner 4 – Carolina Dry Docks, Monkey Humpers, LBCs

Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers (Wildcat and treatment, traveling during holidays)

All the people working out inside the YMCA, probably thought all of us folks working out in the cold parking lot were poor and couldn’t afford a membership! A welcoming crew back in my home town! Always fun to post down range! Have a blessed day fellas!
