A trio of triple HIMS avoided black ice and the temptation of the fart sack to enjoy to push each other to become better. This is what was seen by the dog walking public with the confused look that strolled by.

Mosey to the usual parking lot for disclaimer and warm ups. 2 latecomers joined in, giving 9 total (perfect triple check attendance). Warm ups included DQ’s, Heli’s, Copperhead Squats, Jazzercise, Russian Soldiers, Hillbillies and Imperial Walkers.

THE THANG: Mosey to the far corner for a variation of 4 corners. Elevator style (repeating previous exercises at each corner) and prostitute (always back to the same corner). Brocode with a burpee at the start/finish every round. Exercises included 10 HR Merkins, 20 World War II, 30 double count Mountain Climbers, 40 Monkey Humpers. This was a burner.

Next Up – Grab a pole for pole smokers. 5 pole smokers and run to the end of the line while PAX holds 6″. Rinse and Repeat

Mosey to the restrooms for triple check. Australian Mountain Climbers, Peoples Chair, Runner to the playground and back. BTTF

Triple Check was an unpleasant ending but PAX pulled through for this scorcher of a work out. Thank you Gents for a wonderful morning. Always look forward to working out with such fine gents.

Honeymoon leading Murph Challenge the last Friday of the month at Twin Team.

New Years Convergence Saturday – 7 am Rockwood Park. Coffee afterwards

NMS: Was good to work off the holiday haze with you gents. Apologies for the delay in posting but it has been one of those weeks. Not much chatter but it was good to see New Market represent. Stay safe boys.

Thirty-three, yes 33, grateful men from far and wide converged on NoToll for an annual party disguised as a beatdown. Cars were rolling in early and often filling up the parking lot and almost leaving no space for Fresh Prince to park when he showed up at his normal 5:32 time. I don’t know how you could leave the AO this morning after that showing without an extra boost of energy to get your day started.

Warm up with 12 Helicopters, SSH and IWs then on to the main show.

Going back to the original 12 days and YHC’s VQ for the first few exercises with a couple modifications thrown in for space and fun.

1 – Dozen LBCs

2 – Sprints across the field (just there and back)

3 – Diamond Merkins

4 – Imperial Squat Walkers (could have used some instruction but you vs you)

5 – Burpees!

6 – Dips (bench space was scarce)

7 – 2 count lunges

8 – Hand release merkins (modified from decline merkins)

9 – American hammers IC

10 – Flutter Kicks

11 – Crunchy Frogs (a Rosie Favorite)

12 – Crowd pleasing Broad Jump Burpees

Amazingly this group of studs blew through the 12 days leaving some time for a ring of fire and 4 minutes of Mary.

What an amazing morning, it’s been a while since I’ve been to an F3 workout with that kind of excitement. I am always grateful for what I have been given but especially this time of year. It’s been a rough year for many, my family included, but there were many things to be grateful for today.

Thanks to Tryhard for bringing the Spiked Eggnog and Coffee for the post workout parking lot; Thanks to Corned Beef and Hardywood for making the longest treks to NoToll; Thanks to Bodos for taking us out with his words of wisdom (sorry we didn’t have a lectern to bust up); Thanks to Bleeder for showing up to a bootcamp; Thanks to the 12 days first timers; thanks to the New Market crew for showing up and bringing some of their new guys; Thanks to EF Hutton for posting to all but 1 of the 7 installations of the 12 days; thanks to our guest star, Toga, returning from Nashville; Thanks to those that are injured for showing up and pushing through anyway; Thanks for Big Blue in the parking lot early; Thanks for the sing along this morning; and finally thanks to the 33 men coming out this morning and brightening each others day.

Everything is coming up Rosie.

NMS-

In all honesty, YHC just grabbed this Q to make himself get up and come out and work off some rust before the 12 Days. The plan was loose other than bringing back some exercises like the bodybuilders and 4x4s and getting a little running in. It was great to lead again, and I enjoyed the mumblechatter and seeing some guys I have not seen in a while. I especially enjoyed the nervous tension when the PAX wondered if I dared call a second round of bear crawls around the pavilion…ummm, NO!

Great job this morning guys. Thanks for letting me lead.

No More Gumbo For You!

9 men posted to find 1 at a solo broga (props to Last Call for getting it done) and 1 who would show up late, though he has a much better excuse now than “I was up all night playing video games”.
