7th Manniversary of Toothless 🦷

Date: 2026-03-05 AO: greenmachine Q: Toothless PAX: Focker, Esposa, Pep, Sherlock, Grape, Black Lung, Cal Worthington, Betty Ford, Topanga FNGs: None COUNT: 10 CONDITIONS: Clear sunrise, breezy, not too warm, felt like 30A. Perfection.
WARMUP: – 49 x SSH – 7 x Good mornings – 7 x Scorpions
THE THANG:
7 Rounds of Tabata – 45s on, 15 off – High knees, squats, burpees, butt kickers, prisoner squats, peter parkers, iron mikes
Six-Seven’s – Perform 6 and 7 reps of two exercises respectively at every 10 yard line – Broad jump, hand release merkins for 6, WW2’s for 7
Repeat 7 Rounds of Tabata (mod burpees to low plank)
Stairway to 7 – Stair runs up & down all the way to the end – After each, do an increasing count of burpees, add 1 per round
MOLESKINE: YHC was gassed by this one – I pulled the plug a little early on the stairway to 7. We only got through 5 rounds when we probably could have made 7, but as they say if you can’t do it don’t Q it! Folks were big fans of year 8 Toothless who threatened penalties for exercise infractions or dropping during the low plank of tabata. Perhaps a precursor of what is to come :smiling_imp: Finished up by draining the thermos of some excellent anaerobic natural processed coffee. :coffee:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: – Holy smokers soon – Merkin Madness – Many other good things in the Slack post!
COT: – Praise and prayers around those battling leukemia – Prayers for those taking on a 50k this Saturday! For weather and injury free endurance! – YHC shared a learning of this last year, that it’s the little habits that can make you or break you. Don’t shy away from the hard but right choice in the small things because those compounding choices build momentum for the big things.
PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Q4PxR9KwkV62jZ86GZ9iI?si=b48993d308b5458b – The PAX loved this one – in reality it wasn’t close to all 7 minute songs but they were picking up what I was putting down with the 70’s rock ballads!
As always, it was an honor to lead men! Looking forward to the next 7 years with you!

HAIL HYDRA

AO: greenmachine
Q: Natural Ice , Chunks, Squatter
PAX: Pep, Esposa, SalPal, Grape, Topanga (Scott), Focker, Cowboy, Young and Restless, Hipster, Wham-O, Betty Ford
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
CONDITIONS: Low 40s and perfect

WARMUP: NO SSH FOR YOU Pep!!!
Why warm up when you can run to the track :man-shrugging:

THE THANG: The 3 Heads of Hydra

Squatter kicked off the first 15 minutes with a simple and effective concept

Start at 0m
10 merkins, 10 burpee broad jumps, 10 air squats, 10 lunges, 10 flutter kicks, bear crawl to the 100m line, run the rest of the track (picking up the 6), and rinse and repeat.

YHC took over at 5:45

Starting at the end of the field with performed 30 SSH – (My psyop to get the full PAX into cadence was a complete failure)
10 8-count body builders, 20 Big Boy Sit Ups and we ran to the other side of the field to rinse and repeat.

Now that we are over Ocotburpee, 8 count body builders are all the rage.

Lastly Chunks closed us out.
Sprints up the hill, sets of Perfect Merkins, Burpees :pinched_fingers: the perfect way to close out a beat down before ending with some light stretching.

MOLESKINE: IMHO – Co Qs should be about keeping the momentum high and not planning to much as team. Mission accomplished

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Percy Warner Accent this Saturday, f3 Afterhours/Afterdark/NightF3 next Thursday, Turkey Trot in Crieve Hall, Grow School in December

COT: Prayers for the Clay Family, Lifting up Hipster, and for all of us to lean into community as we are not built to grow/thrive on our own.

I am thankful for you guys!
