AO: cruelhall
Q: Toothless
PAX: Tinkertoy, Smokehouse, Focker, Esposa, Donkey Hammer, Kraut, Matador, EZ-Go, Harry Caray, Michael Freiburg

– Ace = Bear Crawl around the square

Back to post at 5 mins out for Howler Monkeys, I.e. monkey humper ring of fire

MOLESKINE:

Instructions were for the next man pulling a card to do half the reps before getting up to pull the card so we keep it moving. That worked once we got the hang of it.

The Aces were obviously everyone’s favorite, and the mumblechatter peaked during Cotton Eye Joe as predicted. Fan favorite, sure to be repeated soon! Honestly I was pretty wiped by the time we got there but we made it through.

We completed all but 4 cards! That brings the total reps to very close to the following full counts:
– 144 x Squats
– 30 x Squat Jumps
– 144 x LBCs
– 30 x V-Ups
– 144 x High Knees
– 30 x Hopping Hillbillies
– 144 x Dry Docks
– 30 x Diamond Merkins

Not counting the Aces, that’s 700 reps of good work, more than the standard Dora, and the Aces were some good work too. Way to keep it moving men!

Coffeeteeria was a smashing success with a co-brew from Toothless and Esposa, with Esposa bringing gatorade and even Twisted Tea for the road…well not for the road but you get it.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– f3dads workout was this AM!
– Esposa on Q for Halloween, or for the daring, handsomizer will be aiming for the local in-workout record of 315 burpees

COT:
– Prayers for the family Focker was visiting with their newborn experiencing complications
– Prayers for Prayers for YHC (Toothless) for the move to Crieve Hall in December and the current home selling in the meantime

As always, it was an honor to lead, men! Thanks for having me out, and I’ll be seein’ ya!

Back 2 School, Day 2! 🚌 🎒📚

AO: middle-tooth
Q: Toothless
PAX: Pepsi, Young and Restless, Subway, Works for a Guy, Matador, Betty Ford, sooner, DrRupp, Esposa
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: Clear & crispy!

WARMUP:
– 25 x SSH
– 10 x High Knees
– 10 x Butt Kickers
– 10 x Windmills
– 10 x Carrot Pullers
– 10 x Little Baby Arm Circles, then reverse 10
– 10 x Seal Claps

THE THANG: Back 2 School!!! :books::school_satchel:
Start with an Indian run “school bus” around the park loop. 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.

Back at Startex, PAX worked on their CORE subjects. PAX split into 3 groups, post up at each station with 1 group running around the parking lot loop 2x as a timer. The other groups split up and go to 1 of the first 2 stations, performing an exercise until the runners return. Switch to rotate through stations 3 & 4, then repeat the whole set.

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

(2) Math
– Ratios, multiplication
– Captain Thors 1:4 ratio of Big Boy Sit-ups to American Hammers, ascending (e.g. 2:8, 3:12, 4:16, 5:20…)

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

(4) 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

Stopping movement and some form lapses were observed by the Q, even perpetrated by the Q. All PAX serve a class detention. Complete 15 burpees to buy in. Then, SSH in silence to get out of detention, otherwise more burpees, repeat til successful.

Dealer’s choice til time!

MOLESKINE: The minds were sharp this fine morning! PAX completed 2 full sets of all stations, i.e. 2 full school days. Impressively, the PAX got out of detention on the very first round of silent Side Straddle Hops! They still paid 5 burpees as a baseline but the result could have been far, far worse.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: So many! See the general channel, near term we’ve got the following, note the prepositions…
– Convergence ON 9/11 at greenmachine
– Convergence FOR 9/11 ON 9/13
– Grow School on 9/20

COT: Prayers were shared, the men left encouraged because they encouraged one another.

As always, it was an honor to lead! See you next week when I have the honor of bringing the java! :coffee:
