The Fourth F: Crapper Presses

PAX: T-Cell, Moneyshot, Venus, Bagger Vance (FIFO), En Fuego

QIC: En Fuego

Conditions: Gorgeous sunrise and an idyllic 64 degrees

No theme for the workout – we are simply shooting for both simple and effective in our perpetual yearning for S3T2.

0530 arrives, we disclaim and head to the soccer field for WOR following a 30 merkin buy-in.  YHC led the PAX thru 12 reps of the following – WMH, LBAC, OP, RLBAC, GMs and Scorpion Stretches.  In an unusual twist, YHC was forced by his fellow PAX to not only keep cadence but the count as well.  Grace extended.

Head to the base of the parking lot to begin the Thang.  Relatedly, if anyone has the contact info to JT Moore’s soccer fields grounds caretaker, please forward to BV.

The Thang:

Workstation 1 – Chest & Shoulders

Starting at base of parking lot, Bernie Sanders to first speed bump and perform 5 merkins; run back to starting point.  Bernie Sanders to second speed bump and perform 10 merkins; run back to starting point.  Complete rhythm through the five speed bumps, and on final return to starting point knock out an extra 30 merkins.  105 merkins later, we are all in and mosey to far end of soccer field for:

Workstation 2 – Legs & Back

Sprint length of the soccer field, perform 30 squats; sprint back to starting point and perform another 30 squats.  Then run from there to playground and complete 40 Steve Irwins.  Return to initial starting point.  All in, we mosey to the baseball field for:

Workstation 3 – Triceps

Partner up; Partner 1 begins repping out dips in the dugout while Partner 2 bear crawls around the four bases, starting at home plate.  Flapjack.  PAX agree aforementioned grounds caretaker of soccer field definitely not the same one running shop on the diamond.  All in, BV hugs it out and says his goodbyes.  PAX then perform extended crab walk from third to first, lining the outfield turf along the way.  Venus confirms it was easier for him to get to first base 20 years ago than today.  Triceps are shot – we head back to Workstation 1.

Repeat Workstation 1 – with YHC instructing PAX to alter lean of the merkin (i.e., if first round was more irkin, do derkins this go-round).  All in, we head to repeat Workstation 2, sans the Steve Irwins.

Just shy of 5 minutes on the clock, we huddle up for Mary, where we perform ascending 1:4s of BBSU and 4-count Flutters.  Got to 5:20 before time called.  Mosey back to starting point – where Moneyshot reminds us all of our 4th F duties, namely, un-topple any toppled crappers identified along the AO.  One is spotted, PAX display impressive 4th F spirit.

Good work today fellas – YHC has us down for about 2.25 miles of AO terrain covered,  240 merkins knocked out, 100+ squats, some Steve Irwins and some triceps that won’t be feeling 100% tomorrow.
