THE THANG: To honor the 75th birthday of one Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner aka Sting, today’s workout was built around some of my favorites from his catalog.

– SSH – Imperial Walkers – WMH – LBAC F/R – Frankensteins
MCC Circle Drive – “King of Pain” Ring of Pain Squat hold aka People’s Chair as each PAX goes up one by one around the circle for entirety of song. Max reps. We hit 340 squats!
The Low Wall – “De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da” DID Do Do Do, DID Da Da Da Dips, Irkins, Derkins x 10 RnR for song
Main Drive – “All This Time” & “If I Ever Lose My Faith in You” All This Climb Run up hill to stop sign, perform 10 Mountain Climbers. Return to base. 15 Mountain Climbers. Continue adding 5 reps for each subsequent ascent and descent. RnR through both songs.
At least some made to 60 Mountain Climbers.
Playground – “Murder By Numbers” & “Money for Nothing” M.U.R.D.E.R By Numbers Partner up – P1 takes lap around MCC while P2 does exercise. Flapjack, working up to 75 cumulative reps for each exercise.
– Merkins – Up Downs – Reverse Lunge – Decline Shoulder Taps – Elevated Split Squats – Reverse Plank Heel Taps
Think most got murded but nobody was murdered before time was called.
Startex – “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” Mary Dealer’s Choice

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many 2nd F opportunities ahead, and even a couple of 1st Fs with The Struggle tonight and the Tussle next month.

Bomber

Date: 2026-09-25 AO: Bomber Q: CubCadet , Puzzlah, DintyMoore PAX: Squatter, CubCadet, Right Said, Tim the Toolman, Vector, DintyMoore, Firefox, Baby Bird, Puzzlah, bluemule, Papa Bear II FNGs: None COUNT: 11 CONDITIONS: Literally perfect.

MOLESKINE: Our intent with the Throuple was to add a little extra spice to the week. Based on the Slack banter and mumblechatter, I think we succeeded. F3 is so much more than a workout group. If you know someone in need, reach out. If you need a hand, just ask. Seeing Pep for coffee made us all happy (until he felt the need to lift his shirt)
ANNOUNCEMENTS: As the weather gets more reasonable, reach out to our Cotters and Welcome them back.
COT: Right Said friend who had a stroke. Pep recovery. bluemule safe return from Austin.
PLAYLIST: Na Na Na, including appropriately timed Hey Jude, curated by DintyMoore Probably an A+
