3 men came to help YHC kick off another week at The Anvil. This is how it went down.

COP: SSH, DQ’s, LBC’s, helicopters, cherry pickers, Imperial walkers.

Mosey to track, partner up. Partners start on opposite sides of the track, run in different directions, stopping at first 2 corners for an exercise, when reaching midway point run to middle of field for 10 booyah merkins, repeat, every 2 laps mosey to playground for 25 calf raises and 20 swing merkins, mosey back to field and switch directions and exercises. Exercises were 25 LBC’s and 15 merkins one direction, 15 monkey humpers and 25 Helix squats the other direction. Everyone was able to try each way twice, then mosey back to the flag. Numberama, namerama, YHC took us out.

The Anvil was a solo Q last week for YHC, so it was great to see the PAX already gathered when I pulled up this morning. Planted the SH and took off! Mumblechatter was strong, centered on the trial in Minnesota, politicians in general, and somehow we talked about Yardsale and his M for a bit, none of which will be put into the BB, as YHC is still thinking “TMI!” It was a great workout today, and one to remember for the merkin challenge, as we did 110 overall today.

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing….

1 Davillian showed on a balmy 45 degree morning to kick off the week.

COP: SSH, arm circles, LBC’s, Imperial walkers, cherry pickers, boat canoes, DQ. Mosey to track, start at midpoint, run to each corner, do 125 burpees, when finished mosey back to SF.

Numberama, namerama, YHC took the PAX out.

YHC showed up, at 5:30 no one else did, so spent 45 minutes working out on the track. Some may question that YHC actually did 500 burpees. Hard to know if you weren’t there.

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing (and this time no one else does either!)

We usually head somewhere but we warmed up next to the cars. After warmup we headed to the side of the school with the hill. We teamed up for 100 SSH’s, 200 ?, 300 squats and 400 LBC’s. One ran up the hill while the other stayed at the bottom, when the runner returned, we switched. Headed to the back of the school for 11’s on the stairs. For 11’s we did Merkins and WWII Sit Ups. When we finished there were 3 minutes left. We headed back to the parking lot where we stretched because were groan xxx men and that’s what Bulk Head tells us we’re supposed to do. Numberama, Namarama. Trout took us out with a prayer.

YHC was pumped to get the week off right and 5 with Davillian brothers showing up we had a nice 6 pack in the gloom. Here is what went down

COP

We circle up next to the playground to 15 SSH, 10 DQ, 10 Imperial Walkers, 10 Russian Soldiers, 10 Helicopters, 15 Arm Circles 10 small and 5 big, 20 American Hammers, 10 LBC’s, 10 Windshield washers, 10 scorpions and 20 merkins.

THANG

So we mosey to the field by the track and YHC drops off glow sticks about 20 yards apart for a reverse Red Barchetta, We run to first glow stick and perform 25 merkins. Return to start and plank for 6, then run to second glow stick for 50 (2 count) lunges, return to the start and plank for the 6, run to the 3rd glow stick 75 LBC’s return to the start plank for 6 and finally run to the last glow stick for 100 SSH return to the start and plank for the 6.

YHC redistributes the lights 30 yards apart in a triangle and we go around 3 times. First trip, we bear crawl to the first corner and perform 1 burpee, bear crawl to the second corner, 2 burpees. Bear crawl to the 3 corner 3 burpees. 2nd round dealer’s choice (Bernie Saunders, Kariokie, just not run) between points and 1 WW2 sit up, 2 WW2 SU and 3 WW2 SU. Then Dealer’s choice again, with 5, 10 and 15 merkins at each corner.

Mosey to the Chamber – YHC distributes the green and red glow stick and we divide into 2 groups of 3, P1 runs lap, during the lap when they reach the green glow stick sprint to the finish (red glowstick) as the timer, P2 American Hammers, P3 LBC’s. We do a triple check of these exercises, then mosey back to flag.

Ring of Fire – Boat Canoe Then Stretch.

Numberama, Namerama, Trout took us out in prayer.

The three of us should not be left alone without adult supervision. Mumblechatter was strong this morning. It started with inappropriate comments about our favorite sports teams and devolved into a discussion on bat wings and having to take that long step on a hot humid day.

Hard work was put in by all, but we needed to have a responsible adult present.

4 men escaped the clutches of the fart sack to welcome the week on a beautiful fall morning.

COP: SSH, Russian soldiers, LBC’s, merkins, helicopters, DQ’s.

The thang

Mosey to hill on side of school, bear crawl up hill, exercise at top, crawl bear down hill, 20 LBC’s, repeat. Exercises at top were merkins, split jacks, and 2 count shoulder taps. Mosey to the track, do an exercise, run around the track, repeat. Exercises were boxcutters, elbow plank for 20 seconds, and Helix squats. Mosey back to parking lot, partner up. Timer does parking lot tracers, parter does dips, hand release merkins, and SSH’s. Stretching for last 3 minutes.

Numberama, namerama, YHC took us out.

Mumblechatter, as would be expected with Yardsale and Mudface on hand, was lively from COP through COT, including how Yardsale makes friends in the bathroom, what that could mean, including a reference to South Park and the inspiration for the title of this backblast. YHC loves the mumblechatter because it distracts from the pain or soreness of the work, and occasions laughter so hard at times you struggle to exercise!

During announcements YHC talked about accountability, personal and to the community. In this case YHC referenced the DaVille F3 community. Hard to put a timeframe on it, but for a while our numbers have been down at workouts. Looking at past backblasts it was common to have a minimum of 5-6 pax at a workout, but too often now we’re lucky to get 3, and frequently it is less. YHC is as guilty of this as anyone else, as my attendance has slacked off greatly in the past year, as has my effort at the workouts. F3 is SUPPOSED TO BE HARD, that’s how you improve, by pushing yourself past your limits to set new ones–the body should feel sore after a workout, otherwise it’s not much of a workout. Iron sharpens iron. YHC is challenging himself to show up at least 3x/week, put in maximum effort with each exercise and workout, and encourage his brothers to do the same. When out in the community, don’t let an EH opportunity pass by, try to give the gift of F3 to someone else each week, or month. I encourage each of you to think about what your goals are for F3 and push yourself to reach them. Know I will be there, encouraging you, and doing everything I can to reach mine.

Thanks for letting YHC lead — sometimes it feels like I have no idea what I am doing but you encourage YHC just the same!
