No Pushing, No Shoving

AO: bomber
Q: Firefox
PAX: Black Lung, Vector, Cream Cheese, Pep, Crawlspace, DintyMoore, Pop-A-Lock, Chunks
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.
– Table Top (bridge) and 10x/side alternating toe touches

Thang 3: Mosey down to the (well lit) playground. Staying in pairs, 1 PAX does 10x hanging leg raises while the other does Plank Jacks. 3 rounds total.

Thang 4: Mosey back to Startex. 1 PAX does box jumps on the wall while the other runs a Bernie up the drive to the stop sign and back. 2 rounds total.

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

36 PAX posted at the birthplace of F3 Nashville to celebrate 10 years of making better men.

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.

I Hate Math

AO: westeros
Q: CubCadet
PAX: Tim the Toolman, Red Skull, Pep, Vector, Hedwig, Spinal Tap, Sherlock, Natural Ice
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: Sweat thru the shirt during warmups

WARMUP: 6 pax carried 1 picnic table to the corner just because. Then last man up mosey almost to the school, turn around back to corner. Standard warmups (SSH, WMH, GM, LBAS, Squats, etc).

THE THANG:
– Pax lined up youngest to oldest (math), counted off by 3s to make teams. .
– Three teams of 3 going for max reps of exercises with movements up / down hill (to port-a-potty as marker).
– Pax A does dips at top while Pax B jogs down to Pax C who was doing BBSU at bottom. Pax B tags out Pax C who Bernies up to tag out Pax A…continue for 13 minutes. Change exercises to Merkins at top, squats at bottom for 13 more minutes.
– Team of Spinal Tap Vector and Hedwig won, 1532 to 1403 to 1252. (lots of math). Their prize was to run with medicine ball to stairs and back to flag (conspicuously missing due to bluemule “software update”)
– Rest of pax moved picnic table back then did dealer’s choice Mary, before winning team joined us.

MOLESKINE: Mental challenge was keeping track of the numbers in the song titles. All songs had numbers in title. Vector missed at least one, which means the Q won :face_with_rolling_eyes:
– Fifteen, 1000 Nights, Summer of 69, 100 Years, 3 AM, 57 Channels, 1979, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Positively 4th Street, 25 or 6 to 4, 365 = 3677 (last math)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Vector is back. We missed you. Though westeros is not technically the most RESPECTed AO in Nashville, you do the math. Pep has a theory he will share about us old people. He’ll share.

COT: Prayers for a good week of leadership and fellowship. Hedwig and his wife having big tests for 2.0. Thanks for the chance to lead.

A Sweet and Salty Suprise

AO: bomber
Q: SalPal
PAX: Pep, Hedwig, DintyMoore, CubCadet, Vector, Tim the Toolman, Papa Bear
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
CONDITIONS: Brisk, you’d think it was still spring.

WARMUP: Short mosey + active stretches.

THE THANG:
1. Hill bernies + burpees + jog down + iron mikes on a timer. Reps added until splits left ~30 seconds for rest.
2. SWEET or SALTY? DintyMoore picked SALTY. Situps, Air Presses, Low Plank Hold, Tricep Dips, and “You vs. You Burpees”
3. Precision sprints – try to run to outfield and back, get as close as you can to 30 seconds. Missing time meant burpees.

MOLESKINE: People spent time trying to figure out if SaltyPal is a bit, or if I’m genuinely that angry all the time. It’s a bit of both. 😉

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2.0 workout next week, see slack for deets.

COT: Prayers for healing, community members and family recovering from surgery. Hedwig with 2.0 en route + new job. Prayers for my M + her job search, praise for ongoing success. All other intentions spoken + unspoken.

Cafe Star Bagel for Coffeteria.

Stay salty Nashville. Sally out.
