MOLESKIN: 15 Pax, including a sneak attack from Snooki, posted despite the Running Emoji featured prominently in the Pre-Blast. Thank you Cold Call for joining us from somewhere downrange. R-E-S-P-E-C-T to Cosmo for the Slack mumble-chatter and then fartsack! That is a pro’s move.

Thank you all for pushing me way out of my comfort zone and letting me lead another workout. Bear crawling and crab walking the base paths is probably a little excessive, but all PAX completed it in style nonetheless. My day was made around 550AM when Headlock belted out “GOOD” multiple times. One “Good” was all I selfishly wanted from the Q. All the Qs for July are already spoken for. Put in your bids for August! Have a restful and safe holiday men!

Thang: A bracket of 16 classic F3 exercises was drawn up and the tournament commenced. PAX were expertly divvied up to odd and even teams and stayed the way for the remainder of the exercises.

  6. Lunge walk vs 11. Broad jumps
  7. Plank for 1 minute vs 10. Wall sits for 1 minute

MOLESKIN: Very appreciative to do this with 17 other great men! My first Q was in November and there were 8 of us and now look at us! I enjoyed Cosmo referring to Khaki as “Son”, after Khaki was caught ogling Zamboni’s calves!!! Big Salute to Cornwalis for toughing it out on a bad leg. #LEGEND. Seeing each one of you guys put in the work at 5:30 in the rain is truly inspiring. And thank you to Logger for his excellent reign as weekday SiteQ–long live the King!

Belated Birthday Party

 

9 PAX posted on a mid 20s morning for my belated 38th birthday party.   My F3 brothers provided the gifts (exercises). Disclaimer was given. Here’s some of what we did:

Warm Up:

15 Weed Pickers IC

10 Toy Soldiers

Arm Stretches

Mosey to the garage area and six stops on the way for the exercise of your choice.  Add one rep at each stop

The Thang:

Some of the party highlights included the dying cockroach, the monkey humper, the Carolina dry dock, 38 Mericans, the Cosmo, walking lunges, it’s never a party without ventral raises, spicy crab cakes, flutter kicks, and wall sits.  9 can-can dancers even made a brief but memorable appearance.  Plus many more hits.  You know it was a good party because I can’t remember all of it!

Mary:

Rosalita 

LBC

Recover!

Moleskin:

Super Easy Q.  The party goers did all the work.  Thank you all.  Special thanks to Headlock for the great cadence, and Cosmo for inventing a new exercise.  Rest up because there’s a high rep birthday party on Thursday at the Hill!

Moleskin:

What a great group of men!  Thank you all for your patience and for the appropriate amount of ball busting during today’s VQ.  Much respect to Brickyard for defending the VQ!  In all seriousness, thank you for pushing me (forcing me) to take the reins.  It was a privilege.  And a big thank you to Logger for asking several times over the course of a year to come out for 5:30AM workout in the gloom with a bunch of strangers.  See y’all on Thursday!
