  • Fart Boxes Almost Prevail

    A slight chill in the air brought out two bootcampers while fart boxes trapped most of the rest of our F3 M’Ville bros. The beatdown went as follows:

    Karate style stretches and limbering followed by arm circles, helicopters, Don Quixotes, imperial walkers, Ukrainian soldiers, merkins, and LBCs started the beatdown. We then did 30 sec wall sit, merkins, and calf raises. Next came 45 sec wall sit, merkins, and calf raises. A third round included 1 minute wall sit, merkins, and calf raises. We then moseyed to the front parking lot to perform a triple check as follows: merkins, copperhead squats, mosey around the front parking lot. Rinse and repeat three times. Final mosey to the side parking lot brought us to a gut buster that went as follows: LBCS, flutter kicks, LBCs, scissor kicks, LBCs, full extension crunches, LBCs, Jane fondas, LBCs. Recover, stretches to end the beatdown. 

    Namarama, numberama, COT, Q saw us out.

  • Dude, where’s your pants??

    The simple answer to that question is… YHC left them at home. To be clear, YHC had pants on — but they were compression pants. In the fog of morning, somehow the shorts didn’t make it on the body. Thanks Bulkhead for pointing this out during the COP. YHC had the opportunity to go home after the workout and put shorts on over top before heading to breakfast.

    And now to the workout…
    We began with 5 guys in the COP —
    Tempo Freddies
    Regular Freddies

    Hey wait, there’s an FNG here! 20 minutes tardy. Hmmm…

    Finish the Dora

    Bear Crawl to corner, 5 merkins, run to corner, 5 merkins, lunge to corner, 5 merkins, jog to last corner, 5 merkins

    Wrap it up, head out for some brekkie.

    No name was given to the new guy bc he didn’t make it through a full workout. Welcome, Kevin — hope you return next week so we can give you a name.

    YHC pulled into The Creek with the PAX waiting. I decided to take the Q because I didn’t want a Mustang beatdown.

    A couple of triple checks and a four corners did the trick.
