All I really wanna do is hang out but I still need to keep up appearances

AO: the-castle
Q: SalPal
PAX: Strutter, Splitter, Chunks, hambone, Pep
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: Cold enough to fool some clowns into wearing caps.

WARMUP: F*ck that.

THE THANG: My wife had certain…. Expectations…. Around my return home this morning. But Castle Coffeteria ft. Pep was a highlight of my pre-2.1 days. So we had two options:

1. A more relaxed 45 minutes with lots of room for mumble chatter.
2. An aggressive 30ish minute beatdown that allows for more coffeteria but you might be coughing up blood.

We opted for the latter. Sets of EMOM burpees, sprints, ISO abs. It sucked.

MOLESKINE: Discussion on angsty bands, what constitutes an F3 workout, and Catholic perspectives on human sexuality.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brewsday, AO School, TN Tussle.

COT: Careers for Pep, Chunks and Stutter.

Enjoyed the extra early coffeteria. Really grateful for this morning. In this season the 2nd F means a lot. Many thanks to Strutter for letting me bend the rules a little bit.

We’ve Got This One in the Bag

AO: the-castle
Q: hambone
PAX: Grape, Cowboy, hambone, Chunks, Pep, “Just Tom”
FNGs: 1 “Just Tom”
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: Nice as nice can be for August in Middle Tennessee!

WARMUP: We don’t do that here.

THE THANG: FNG Tom showed up. As we introduced ourselves he realized we had funny names and said, “I’m just Tom”. Just. Tom. Of course Tom is excited to get a name, but we don’t do that here until the 2nd post.

We brought our buddy (60lb sandbag) on our travels this morning.

Indian Run and share with our buddy. We made sure to swap the buddy off appropriately. We did a bit of Strutter’s prostitute route, but then we doubled back and hit the other side of the highway.

On the other side, we did a neat rotation of:

1. One guy runs ~600 meters
2. One guy holds the buddy (sandbag dead hang)
3. One guy planks
4. One guy promdates and holds

We then headed back to meet Chunks and Pep (who creeped out of the back of his car)

MOLESKINE: Grape mentioned that the uphill really torched his calves. He was also coming back from an IT band injury, so impressive work by the best fruit I know.

Cowboy came for a relaxing Saturday, and the 2ish miles we got in our travels were a fraction of what he gets down south. That said, our bag buddy hopefully made it worth it.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Go check slack to see what your bros are doing in the Nashville region.

COT: Prayers for Cowboy’s mother!!

One missed prayer was for hambone’s father; the old man turn 70 on Saturday. Never expected to see that day.
