Bomber – 07.24.20 – “It’s About Time”

21 PAX took that DRP this AM and engaged in what turned out to be a maths- and sports-themed beatdown, courtesy of YHC.

QIC: Cunning Linguist
PAX: Ask Jeeves, Blue Mule, Crawlspace, Drago, Hambone, Hi-Viz, Hoser, King Poopa, Michelin Man, NashCan, Natural Ice, Porcelain, Pop-A-Lock, Princess Aurora, Right Said, River Dawg, Salpal, T-Cell, Trash Panda (FNG), Vector


After the usual 1MW at 0529, a fully masked-up YHC disclaimed the Disclaimer at precisely 0530 and promptly led the PAX out the main entrance to Bomber and up Westlawn toward the far end of Bomber and to my fave WOR spot (which appears to be the nose of an aircraft sticking out of the ground).


WOR:
24 x SSH
12 LBAC
12 rLBAC
12 Imperial Walkers
12 x Slow and Low Squats


PAX and YHC appeared suitably warm, and henceforth, we moseyed over to the upper parking lot area nearest the main entrance for an explanation of the THEME and THANG 1.


THEME:
As today was the 24th, the number 24 stood out as being relevant. Number 24 would be included to some degree throughout the workout today. One example of how important the number 24 is can be seen on a literal daily basis. We all have 24 hours a day, and it is up to us to use this time effectively! With this foundation, YHC ensured we had a playlist that included songs that had the word “time” in the title.


THANG 1:
One example of the relevance of 24 is the jersey number of the late Kobe Bryant. While this was not his original jersey number, he did use 24 for at least part of his career. We lost Kobe earlier this year before the pandemic, and with all that has transpired since then, it is easy to forget that he started 2020 alive and kicking.


PAX line up at a socially distanced parking spot and performed YHC’s interpretation of the MAMBA workout (with special thanks to En Fuego for the idea a few months back):
24 x Merkins
24 x Air Press
24 x Mountain Climbers
24 x Burpees
24 x Air Squats
Sprint to the parking spot directly across from your starting point between moves.
Al Gore if completed early.
Once all PAX were done, we moseyed over the top of the main entrance for a single-person/modified DORA as THANG 2:

THANG 2:
24 x Merkins
48 x American Hammers (one per side)
72 x Squats
Run around traffic circle at bottom of entrance between each move.
High plank upon early completion.


Last but certainly not least, YHC led the PAX over to the baseball diamond for a rather selfish indulgence – a chance to welcome back our national pastime by running the bases on Opening Day 2020. Except as part of THANG 3, we didn’t “run” the bases.

THANG 3:
PAX socially distanced in the outfield while first person sprints to home plate, bear crawls to each base and back to home plate. In other words, everyone hit a home run today!

As soon as the first person arrives to first base, the next person sprints to home, and wash, rinse, repeat.

While PAX remained in outfield, they performed SSH, Iron Mikes, and Nolan Ryan.

Upon completion, we all headed to STARTEX for Mary.

MARY:
With only a few minutes to spare, Mary was rather straightforward:
12 x Alabama Prom Dates
12 x Alternating Heel Taps
12 x Little Baby Crunches

Socially Distanced COT & BOM, with Verses of the Day:

Numbers 6:24-26:
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

MOLESKINE:
Just want to reiterate my appreciation for each and every one of the PAX who attend workouts where I am the Q.  I hope that my Qs are well-received and that I continue to improve in my cadence and leadership.

I also thank y’all for allowing me to Q while being respectful of the fact that I need to be masked up while outdoors. For those who masked up as well, bonus points for the show of solidarity!

Thank you, men!


BULLHORN:
-Continued prayers for all of us (thanks, Drago!)
-Welcome to the F3 Nation, FNG Trash Panda! Here’s hoping my Q doesn’t keep you from attending future workouts! 😉
-F3 Dads workouts are happening in Franklin — connect with Hoser for more details!

12 Strong (minus 10)

PAX: Not-a-Sport, Olan Mills (QIC)

It was a very close to being a Wolfpack of 1 this morning but fortunately Not-a-Sport demonstrated true commitment.

Briefest of brief disclaimers. Zero warmup.

THANG: Make our way down the greenway stopping every quarter mile’ish for some reps starting with 10 at first stop…working our way up to 40…and then back down to 10 as we made our way back.

Exercises at each stop included:

  • Merkins
  • WWI’s
  • Squats
  • some exercise Toga introduced us to….hand / foot, elbow / knee (Toga…what’s it called)

All in we covered 2.5 mi and sweat about 1.5 gal.

Enjoyed the company!

Tampa from the block

PAX: Toga, Not A Sport (or John Alexander as you know him from Slack), Leatherneck, Olan Mills, and YHC.

Brentwood PAX learned the true meaning behind an ancient Greek phrase: Tampa Time. YHC was 6 min late as 2.1 woke up on the way out the door, delaying me slightly.

Toga stepped in for WOR and took zero verbal jabs at YHC when he casually rolled in behind schedule.

Grab a block and mosey to GWP pavilion. Two roadblocks along the way felt appropriate as YHC faced two actual roadblocks en route to the AO – BPD out looking for car jackers on the lamb. Anyways, 10 block merks and 10 block derks each road block.

10 min EMOM #1. 5 box jumps (table top), 10 block curls, 10 two-count flutters. YHC forgot he planned on burpee-box jumps.

10 min EMOM #2. 5 block Bulgarian split squats each leg, 20 mountain climbers.

Mosey back with varied forms of block carries and runs.

Prayers for the school year and the country.

PAX: Crablegs, Parachute Pants (FNG), Swingline, Bare Back, Toothless, Covenant Eyes, Pumpkin Spice, Hi Viz, T Cell, Siri, and Trapper Keeper (QIC).

Disclaimer was givin and PAX mosied around walking trail to the back parking lot for warm up.

Warm up:

SSHs x 14 IC
Squats x 14 IC
LBACs x 14 IC
RLBACs x 14 IC
Butt Kickers x 14 IC
High Knees x 14 IC

Mosied up to the pizza hut pavilion for the thang.

Thang:

To celebrate 244 years of America the beautiful the PAX was commissioned to complete 244 reps of each exercise listed, and after each exercise the PAX would mosie around the side walking trail to loop back to the pavilion.

Side Straddle Hops
Squats
Jane Fondas (122 each leg)
Little Baby Crunches
Calf Raises
Split Squats
Flutter Kicks (both legs count as one)
Single Leg Lifts (122 each leg)

The PAX got as far as the Jane Fondas before we had to drop the mosing around the loop, and then eventually ran out of time afterthe 244 calf raises.

QIC was a little bit to enthusiastic making the list. Maybe because I knew high caliber/overachieving HIM would be showing up. Do not worry, the list will be completed soon.

Announcement:

It was a pleasure to have Swingline join us from F3 Franklin and he also brought an FNG (Parachute Pants) with him, which was also a pleasure to welcome him to F3.
