Thang: Warmorama – burpee progression, with 1 burpee and an exercise, followed by 2 burpees and an exercise…up to 5 burpees and a final warm up exercises.…

A stalwart 15 men defrosted the windshields and gathered in a parking lot of Lab Rat’s boyhood hometown for a guest Q opportunity.

YHC had never heard of it either…here’s how it went down. 06:59:59 DST (DaVille Standard Time) and there are only empty, scattered cars in the Chicahominy Middle School parking lot.

19 pax met at the ONLY Saturday AO in Florence….hint hint, it is not at SF High. An unwelcome return to the heat and humidity greeted the pax, especially Lab Rat who left Richmond at 5pm on Friday wearing a light jacket. THANG: Typical F3 stuff led by Monkey….who will get continued props from Lab Rat, as he has led every beatdown that Lab Rat has attended in the great city of Florence.
