8-Count Body Builders!

Date: 2026-08-20 AO: The Stronghold Q: Hipster , Red Skull PAX: Young and Restless, Hipster, Red Skull, toga, Barney, Right Said, Decaf, Dr. Brown Slip, Zummies, Gumbo, Micro Soft, Sweet Tooth, Purple Rain, Stick Death, Cuties, Pinto, Blue Cheese, Dory, Krabby Patty FNGs: None COUNT: -15 CONDITIONS: Absolutely Perfect – wet, rainy with a little thunder
WARMUP: Started with a mosey to the front school lot; YHC was unsatisfied with the effort to extended the mosey to the NSA parking lot. The warm up included a Scorpion Stretch to ensure our front side was wet and some WW1 to get the backside wet.
THE THANG: After demonstrating how to count and execute the 8-count body builder movement, each 4:13 Strong man came in the middle, introduced himself and told us one thing he had learned about himself over the past 40 Days. Then he lead us in 5 8-count body builders. That brought our 8-count body builder count to 60.
Mosey to the Smokestack parking lot where each 4:13 Strong man told us about a goal and then led us in another 5 8-count body builders bring our total to 115.
Mosey back to the NSA lot where toga led us in the final 5 to get our total up to 120.
Mosey back to the StartEx and time was up.
MARY: No time for Mary today
MOLESKINE: So thankful for the rain this morning. There is nothing better than getting a man into adverse conditions to help him realize that he can do hard and uncomfortable things. There was a lot of self pity this morning as the 4:13 Strong were feeling sorry for themselves for getting a little wet. The perfect way to end the 40 Day Challenge. Thanks to bluemule for the workout idea and the F3 PAX that joined us.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Signing Day is tomorrow at 11:30am. Come join us.
COT: Prayers for guidance and wisdom as these men transition into the Work Phase of the program.
