FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: Pleasantly cool and clear

WARMUP:
– 20x SSH
– 20x Imperial Walkers
– 20x Hillbillies
– OYO Good Mornings and WMH

THE THANG:
Thang 1: Mosey to upper parking lot and partner up. 1 PAX holds a Hollow Body Hold, the other runs a suicide (do we have an alternate name for this?), and swap. 3 rounds total.

Thang 2: Staying in pairs, 1 PAX holds a static hold position while the other does an exercise, then swap. 3 rounds total per exercise.

Thang 5: A nice relaxing, meditative Hollow Body Hold for the final 2.5 minutes.

MOLESKINE: The goal was lots of core/full body engagement. There was no theme except for the absence of merkins and burpees and other exercises that aggravate my elbow… or was there? Perhaps there was a story told in the playlist that was almost completely divorced thematically from the actual workout?

ANNOUNCEMENTS: All the things. Check the calendar. There’s chili on there somewhere.

COT:
– Pop-A-Lock’s father
– DintyMoore’s M’s family visit
– Vector’s son and M travels
– Those suffering from Hurricane Helene (Look into NC/FL Disaster Relief Funds, American Red Cross, or any other forms of support that you’re able!)
– Those suffering from ongoing and escalating conflicts overseas

WARMUP:

Medium mosey to Soccer Field for COP, all x 10
– SSH
– WMH
– LBAC F
– MNC
– LBAC R
– Groiners
– Newtons Cradle

Quick mosey to Sunnyside Mansion to show them that we’re all Men from U.N.C.L.E. This phase of the workout honors Jesse “Uncle” Wilker who flew in from Charlotte, NC to teach a handful of us about F3 and prep us for launch approximately 3650 days ago.

Partner up. With P1 running a lap around Sunnyside Mansion, P2 performs reps of the following exercises until they reach 100 cumulative for each.
– Uneven Merkins (aka Staggered Merkins)
– Newton’s Cradle (2 is 1)
– Carolina Dry Docks
– Lunges (1 is 1)
– Elbows to Knees (alternating sides every 10 reps or so)

Abs of choice while waiting for six.

Mosey to Tennis Courts

Line up along court #1 doubles sideline for some shuttle runs. PAX perform 10 jump squats followed by a shuttle run to center service line, court #2 doubles sideline, court #2 center service line, and court #2 far doubles sideline. Drop one rep and repeat all the way down to 1 Jump Squat and a shuttle.

Sticking around the courts, PAX circled up for everybody’s favorite jerk, Jack Webb: Merkins and Air Presses in a 1:4 ratio. We took this one all the way up to 10:40, and everyone LOVED it.

Mosey to Sunnyside Hill

Lining up with previous partner at the base of the hill, P1 performed LBCs while P2 sprinted up to the flag. RnR x 3.

Since we didn’t get here alone, one last AYG with everybody together up the hill before a mosey back to the startex.

2MOM
– Boxcutters x 10
– Crunchy Frogs x 10 (missed you t-cell)

One ten-second good morning to close things out!

COT/BOM

MOLESKINE:
It was truly an honor to lead this workout. I had no idea what the heck I was getting into 10 years ago, but I’m glad I didn’t let that stop me. Really grateful for the all the men that have stepped up to lead along the way. Whether it’s been as a workout Q, an AOQ, or a position at the regional level, you are making me and countless others better for it. I don’t take that for granted. Nor should you.

Can’t wait to see what the next decade holds!

Also, a special thanks to all of you who brought coffee, baked goods, and other refreshments for extended coffeeteria. What a great way to end!

BULLHORN:
Prayers for job changes, job searches, ailments, and recoveries.
