THANG – 4 songs plus a little extra credit

Flowers – Moby (aka Bring Sally Up): Push-up on “bring sally up”, down on “bring sally down” and keep the chest of the ground.

Mosey to the big lot.

Thunderstruck – AC/DC: Various hopping-related exercises (ssh, high knees, butt kickers) for the duration of the song then burpee on every “thunder” or “thunderstruck”.

Mosey to the neighboring field.

Bodies – Drowning Pool: In a plank for the duration of the song doing a combination of plank jax and mountain climbers. During the chorus perform an atomic merkin each time the bodies hit the floor.

Mosey to the bottom of the big hill for a “quick” set of 7’s. Jump Squats at the bottom, split lunges at the top. Reverse mosey up, regular mosey down which was eventually modified to regular mosey both ways based on time constraints.

Long mosey through the beautiful Sir E grounds back to the church for one final song.

Guerrilla Radio – Rage Against the Machine: various ab exercises for the duration of the song that consisted of: Freddie Mercuries, Flutter Kicks, Hola Dollies, LBCs and Crunchy Frogs.

BH: Keep Spicoli, Olan Mill’s dad and El Maestro in your prayers.

45 degrees with a strong north wind greeted 19 redpillers at Sir E this morning. YHC explained that this was intended to be an Aunt Bea Q, but that his wife had contracted the stomach flu, and thus he would be unable to attend. Instead, we would pay homage to AB with different components of the workout starting right out with a reverse mosey capri lap. Following the loop we switched to a standard forward mosey, and made our way up towards the big house obviously not following sanctioned paths as is the standard under AB guidance.

We convened around the flag to get all warmed up.

The first evolution was dubbed the Crazy H8, but I’m also considering H8ful Eight. Borrowing a page out of Tidy Cat’s playbook we did the standard double-loop figure eight with the following rules in place:

• 8x Burpees at the middle, top and bottom of the 8 starting and finishing with said Burpees for a total of 40.
• 8x each of Atomic Merks, Jump Squats and WW1s at each speed bump. 10x speed bumps for a total of 80x reps of each.

We mosey’d to the homestead for: 50x calf raises (25x each leg) followed by 15x more each leg.

Mosey to the big lot for some island to island work: bear crawl to first island, broad jump to second island, burpee broad jump to final island.

Once all in we mosey’d back to the church playground for a quick 10x pullups (lock those arms out, BV) and 20x rows.

We had just enough time for the final portion of the morning, which, obviously had to end in classic Aunt Bea fashion…“Peaches” by Presidents of the USA: holding a plank perform a merkin each time you hear the word “peaches” or “peach”. Our muscles were tired, but our hearts were full as the music faded at the strike of 6:15am.

This was a tough workout, especially the first portion. Kudos to all for pushing themselves. Big Stick kept talking about how easy it was. That guy. We will need to review video evidence on whether Bagger was performing a cheat step on each of his burpee broad jumps. The ruling on the field was that he was.

BH
Check Slack for info on the TAK PAKs. Let’s try to get a bunch of those together for a great cause. I was talking with the M today about getting our kids involved with putting those together. I think it could be a great family tradition. Numbtucks will be collecting them next week at Detention and the Racetrack.

See you boys in the gloom,

40 degrees, a homecoming Rooms2Go and no Floppy met the 24 PAX this morning that gathered to give thanks in workout form at Sir Ellington. YHC had a coffee maker snafu, and therefore came in on two wheels 30 seconds late. On the warmup mosey R2G was thinking about two things: 1. WTF was Floppy? 2. WTF was he going to do as this was supposed to be a co-Q? Perhaps this is a bit of an embellishment. R2G had it under control.

We mosey’d up to the big house for R2G to get us all warmed up.

Acción de GRACIAS
G – orilla Humpers x100. Focus on form. Pain started quickly.
R – oute 66: Mosey around the top loop and stop at each speed bump for ascending burpees. Starting with 1x and work our way to 11x for a total of 66x burpees. Plank/wait then WW1 and wait. Mosey to the tractor pavilion.
A – lternating toe taps on the green benches by the tractor. We did 50x and everyone seemed to be enjoying them so much that we did 30x more.
C – arolina Dry Docks x50. Momentary brain-lapse for YHC on the name for this exercise, though I knew it started with a C. Thankfully, CCR came to the rescue as he does so many times.
I – mperial Squat Walkers x50 IC. A real crowd pleaser. I thought about more, but we were short on time.
A – lternating Shoulder Taps x50 IC. We were running out of time, so we quick moseyed over to the big and traffic-busy hill.
S – evens (Mtn. Climber Merks/Diamond Merks). Due to poor clock management by YHC, we had to cut this short. Traffic is also unwieldy at this point. Noted for future Q planning efforts.

We trail moseyed back to the start where reigns were passed to R2G’s very capable hands for a quick Mary.

It was so great to have Rooms2Go back out in the gloom. He’s a great friend, and his willingness to co-Q was inspiring. Welcome FNG Triple D. He’s a friend of Foggy Pirate’s, who was in classic foggy form this morning. It was also good to see some faces that we haven’t seen out in the gloom in a while. Apologies to R2G and the PAX for my clock management. At least we got a couple minutes of Mary in. I am sure everyone will do their own ab makeup.

Reminder to sign up for Room in the Inn at Crievewood Baptist. Info and link are on Slack. Reach out to Dupree for more details.

Grow School on Saturday, December 2nd at FRA. Workout 7-8am followed by biscuits and discussion about the purpose behind F3. If you value F3 please come to this. It will be a good chance to learn more about why we do what we do and how we can make it better.
