THE THANG:
A continuation from Monday at Westeros, we enlisted the godfather of F3 Tony Horton to lead us in a Plyometrics (Jump Training) Workout.

The word of the day was: SOFT LANDINGS PAM!!!

Here is a link to the workout if your so inclined to do it again: ia601900.us.archive.org/15/items/img-2024/IMG_1986.mp4

Moseyed back to Startex for a 10 burpee buy out and 5 mins of Mary

MOLESKINE:

Natural Ice had a good word about how working out is better with friends. P90X has it’s place, but doing it alone is a challenge. He challenged all of us to find those Sad Clowns in our life and bring them out to F3. Good word brother.

Oh, oh, it’s MAGIC

AO: titan
Q: Vector
PAX: Black Lung, Chunks, Detective Pikachu, DintyMoore, Firefox, Freakonomics, Good Morning America, greyalbum, hambone, Natural Ice, Pep, preacherman, Right Said, Salpal, Spinal Tap, Tim the Toolman, 15-Love
FNGs: 1 15-Love
COUNT: 18
As is often the case with a Vector Q, the workout planning involves weeks of theme playlist curating and then a frantic 24 hours of “crap, how do I create a workout to match my super cool playlist?” So, in that spirit:

While many may try to use instant supplements or crazy muscle building ideas to get swole, you can’t rely on magic to get fit. So in honor of Harry Houdini, born 150 years ago in 1874, I present a different kind of magic to get y’all in shape.

CONDITIONS: Damp yet perfect

WARMUP: Mosey around the parking lot to the far side of the Parthenon. Willy Mayes Hayes x 10, LBAC x 10, Seal claps x 10, Overhead Press x 10, Reverse LBAC x 10, and Good Mornings x 10 OHO

THE THANG:
MAGIC #1 – 150 reps of each exercise and a run around the Parthenon between each:
M – Merkins
A – Alabama Prom Dates
G – Gorilla Humpers (which I had to example multiple times . . . hmm)
I – Iron Mikes
C – Carolina Dry Docks
(Fair amount of mumbling that each leg should not count only 1/2 on these exercises . . . I did not waiver).

MAGIC #2: 150 reps but no running in between due to time
M: Mountain Climbers
A: Ass Kickers
G: Great Form Squats
I: Incline Merkins
C: Crunches (Little Baby)

Ended at time – welcomed FNG 15-Love a recently married tennis fan EH’d by Detective Pikachu.

PRAYERS: To Grey Album on impending adoption and associated stress, friend Yuri and family facing pancreatic cancer, and others I forgot (apologies!)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hunger Games this weekend, Hike/Ruck with 2.0s to give M’s a break – see Slack for deets.

Honored to lead and that you all continue to tolerate my Q-uirkiness (see what I did there?) in leading . . . SYITG

FNGs: None
COUNT: 16
CONDITIONS: A perfect 25F

WARMUP: SSH and Stretching

THE THANG:

Thing 1: Running Grapevine Burpee Apocalypse
A combination of @grape ‘s caboose is loose run while carrying the speaker, and @bluemule ‘s traveling burpee apocalypse. Pax ran exactly 1 mile and performed 55 burpees.

Thing 2: Classic Hilly Titan 11’s Now with 4 Bonus Bearcrawls

Pax took advantage of the fantastic hill with 11’s consisting of LT Dans at the Base and WW1s at the top. With one caveat, Pax had to bearcrawl up the hill 4 of the 10 times of their choosing.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: F3 Hendersonville is Rising! YHC was given a funny cowboy hat. Leanpax sugar/alcohol detox is in full effect!

This mornings playlist was a group effort of alternative rock starting with @chunk ‘s request for higher by Creed. I shamelessly added in a Green River Ordinance radio hit at the end.

Thank you all for the opportunity to lead!
