THE HORRIBLE THANG: Burpee-O’Clock-Alypse

YHC kicked off the morning with an interval timer set to chime every 60 seconds, signaling a simple yet brutal plan: 5 burpees every minute on the minute for 45 minutes. In between each set of 5 burpees, PAX were graciously given the “opportunity” to catch their breath with a resting exercise called out by YHC. These included light stretching to start, followed by multiple rounds of a Free People’s Run, squats, lunges, Lt. Dans, bear crawls, crab walks, and LBCs.

The soundtrack for this beatdown was none other than Dave Matthews’ magnum opus, Crash, which eventually transitioned to Under the Table and Dreaming after some lag in the latter half of the album. This change tested not only our physical endurance but also our mental toughness.

Overall, there were absolutely no groans or complaints. Each call of “five burpees” was met with cheers and applause (or something close to that), and a new record of 225 burpees was set. YHC is hopeful that future F3 PAX will take on the challenge to push that record to 230 and beyond.

MOLESKINE: DO HARD THINGS

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tn Tussle and Q School!

A Spooky Q: Journey to the Upside Down for the Deck of Horrors!!!

AO: middle-tooth
Q: Toothless
PAX: Pole Dancer, Schnauzer, Topanga, DrRupp, sooner, Hanes
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
CONDITIONS: Crispy, but just right for fall :pinched_fingers:

WARMUP:

– Side straddle hops x 31
– Zombie walk out & back
– Werewolfs (aka Downward Dog into Cobra and back) x 10
– Scorpions x 10

THE THANG:

First, obligatory Burpee Thriller!! Listen to Thriller and do a burpee every time you hear the signature “thriller” in the chorus or something scary in the verses. Such a scary song…

Deck of Horrors!!!

To the lower lot, circle up and get ready to pull cards.
– Add 10 to digits (2-10)
– Royals trigger 10 reps of a harder exercise
– Aces have their own deviltry

Spades :spades:
– Digits = Squats
– Royals = Squat Jumps
– Ace = Squat Jump to parking lot and back
Clubs :clubs:
– Digits = LBC’s
– Royals = WW1’s
– Ace = 200 American Hammers (single count)
Hearts :heart:
– Digits = High Knees
– Royals = Hopping Hillbillies
– Ace = Cotton Eye Joe (High Knees with lyrics, Hillbillies with instrumentals)

– Ace = Bear Crawl to parking lot and back

Back to post at 5 mins out for Howler Monkeys, I.e. monkey humper ring of fire. 2 rounds at a time with a 10 count in between.

MOLESKINE:

Didn’t tweak much from the debut at atlantis, and it still slapped. Once again the Burpee Thriller was a crowd favorite that helped jump start the mumblechatter. Pole Dancer had the distinct pleasure of pulling 3 of 4 Aces from what may or may not have been a stacked deck :face_with_peeking_eye:, the last of his being the Ace of Hearts which led to a new fan fav: the Cotton Eye Joe!! Frankly this group impressed with their Hopping Hillbilly skills, and they were rewarded with several high digit high knees to follow :smiling_imp: Coffeeteeria was a delight after this sneaky burner.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– As always, brewsday on the first Tuesday of the month (2 Tuesdays from today)
– Half marathon coming soon
– TN Tussle in early November, sign up and figure out teams!
– AOQ Grow school to follow

COT:
– Prayers for sooner’s milestone event at work with his work on display, that it would move forward as hoped
– Prayers for Topanga’s mom who is working through vision loss, for healing or for figuring out what the future holds
– Prayers for Schnauzer’s mom as she continues to sort through re-construction efforts in the aftermath of Helene

MEN! WHAT A MORNING! Truly it was an honor to lead and to be with you this AM. To those not with us, you were missed, and thank you to those present for your effort to push yourselves and each other. Until next time!! AAOOOOOOOOO!!!! :full_moon: :wolf:

Figure I’ll squeeze this in before the end of the month so we all get our PAXminer stats.

Ran several laps of the field and then did a “you vs. you” round where each lap must be faster or face a penalty. Closed with some Sally Up and Sally Down squats (and merkins!) and 5 minutes of mary. Credit to Bad Boy Pole Dancer for inspiration.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6f

Go Skyhawks!

AO: middle-tooth
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: Oatmeal, sooner, Hanes, DrRupp, Betty Ford, Cal Worthington, Schnauzer, The Rafter, Smokey
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: Beautiful

WARMUP: Mosey around the school, dynamic warmup, dynamic stretching, static stretching

THE THANG: Hearkening back to my track days we ran 200m repeats with a 150m jog and 50m walk in between. No stopping, rolling right into the next rep. Great pacing by the pack keeping each lap within ~15 seconds.

An anti-running contingent performed a traveling exercise-a-palooza around the loop.

Groups reconvened for 10 minutes of Mary, a round of Big 10 er… 11 (10 merkins, 1 WW1, 9 merkins, 2 WW1 and so on), and some side straddle hops to reach 6:15.

MOLESKINE: Keeping an eye on a future attempt to break the marathon record via PAX relay event; we would have to double our pace on those 200s, and do so across 10 reps instead of 6 (with considerably more rest in between, but point being we’ve got our work cut out for us)!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: No major announcements following last week’s convergences. Brewsday is always on the horizon.

COT: Prayers for the future of our country, and a meditation on embodying the personal improvement path of the ultimate meritocracy; track and field.

FNGs: 1 Pollo Loco
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: Honestly, balmier than advertised. Cool breeze cut down significantly on what would have been a bona fide hot yoga session. Sunrise rivaled toratoratora to boot :sunrise:

PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/04KkhaUX0fj1nwynplCZMW?si=a37a6268af3c4544

WARMUP:
– 30 x SSH
– 10 x WMH (2 count)
– 10 x Windmills
– 15 x Overhead Claps
– 15 x Seal Claps
– 15 x Moroccan Night Clubs
– 15 x Imperial Walkers
– 5 x Scorpions, each side half

THE THANG: Back 2 School!! :books:

School Bus Route :bus: :octagonal_sign:
Start with a one-mile Indian run “school bus” around the perimeter. Every time the rotation completes the stop sign comes out and the PAX have to give 10 Prisoner Squats. After all, schools are basically prisons. Aim for 100+ squats, 10+ stops.

Route went southeast to the corner, northeast past the playground and then up behind the school. Continue to tennis courts and turn left to cut up through the middle of the AO past startex. Turn right at Lone Oak on the sidewalk and reenter the park on the small path. Turn right onto the main field path, make a full loop and return to started.

Core Subjects :male-teacher:
Split into 5 groups, post up at each station with 1 group running around the parking lot loop 2x. The other groups split up and go to 1 of 4 stations, performing an exercise until the runners return. Repeato with the timer group running 1 lap instead of 2.

English
– “Apart” vs “a part”
– Hello Dollys, spread those legs “apart”

Math
– Ratios, multiplication
– Captain Thors 1:4 ratio of Big Boy Sit-ups to American Hammers

Science
– Inertia
– J-Lo’s, it takes force to stop movement in a given direction

History
– First public school in the country predates the country’s founding
– Boston Latin School founded in 1635
– 1 Clerkin, 6 Supermans, 3 Peter Parkers, 5 Mountain Climbers

Once PAX complete each station and are back to their “homeroom”, they serve detention. Complete 20 burpees. SSH in silence to get out of detention, otherwise more burpees, repeat til successful.

MOLESKINE:
YHC was sucking wind after the bus route and appreciated the pace pushers who made it more of a challenge. The sunrise was so nice the Q called a Salute the Sunrise between the sets with a 10 burpee salute. As for detention, the PAX didn’t get out of detention immediately, but they were much more eager to avoid the burpees the second time and got out after only 2 rounds.

Also of note, sooner finally pulled a great name out of his hat and gets credit for Pollo Loco, who was a fantastic EH apparently by Michelin Man though the Mich himself was not in attendance :eyes:

YHC also brought some home-brewed Gatorade for coffeeteeria. If there was ever a morning for it, this was it, and it hit the spot as a preamble to sooner’s excellent carafe of bean juice.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– U-Haul themed workout this Saturday AM for Detective Pikachu
– brewsday next Tuesday @ 12S Taproom, 4:30p
– 10th Anniversary of F3 Nashville coming up on 9/13

COT:
Prayers for…
– Pole Dancer’s wife in the job search, turned out down, looking for the right fit
– sooner spoke for all parents & kids coming into the school year, prayers for a clean sheet for the rest of summer to start the school year off right
– YHC shared prayers for my wife with the due date 1 month away, prayers for a healthy full term baby and a smooth delivery

Men, Cal Worthington once again mentioned this may be his last week in Nashville, and while that may or may not be true, I do want to share a hearty thank you for the energy and camaraderie he’s brought during his extended time with us. Be sure to say thanks and send him off well throughout the week!

It’s always an honor to lead you men – thanks for an excellent morning, wouldn’t have wanted to spend it any other way!
