American Hammer x21 IC
Low Flutter x21 IC
Penguin Crunch x21 IC
Mosey across the street to the benches
Irkins , Dirkins , and Dips x21 OYO
Mosey further up Vine to the old Inmar entrance
Squats x21 OYO
Alt Lunge (DC) x21 OYO
Bobby Hurleys x21 OYO
Mosey down to the mural wall….check that…ground was a little too sloped
Mosey down to big parking lot outside WFU Med School
22 Burpees OYO (we’ll get to why this wasn’t 21 in a minute)
PAX were then asked to partner up and line up at the beginning of the very long row of parking spaces (42 to be exact)
Partner 1 would run to the opposite end of the parking lot and run back to pick up Partner 2
Partner 2 bear crawls width of one parking space and performs 1 squat, bear crawls width of parking space and performs 2 squats and so on until Partner 1 returns
P1 and P2 continue this pattern up to the 21st parking spot. At the 22nd parking spot, begin descending squat reps (20, 19, 18, etc)
Almost every pair finished the entire length of the parking lot, and in so doing, completed as a team 441 squats. HELLO.
Running out of time so we mosey back to launch.

CoT
Announcements: There will be a Salem Lake run led by @5$ Footlong on Sunday at 7am to commemorate the 5 year anniversary of his car crash.
Prayer Requests: Those among us and in our community suffering from addiction, @Lambchop’s and @Schiltz’s Ms who are pregnant. Feelings and thoughts of gratitude and thankfulness were shared as well.
YHC took us out lifting up those in the CoT and asking Him for the boldness to be great men, fathers, husbands, and leaders in our community

It was very chilly this morning, so YHC was already in a grumpy mood. Then @Burns came in hot as soon as I walked up asking my opinions about the very fresh news that my beloved Panthers had traded away our best player. This did nothing to lift my spirits. *jots @Burns down on my sh*t list for the morning*
Some beatdowns have a way of just planning themselves. The “10.21” structure for the morning’s PLANNED activities came together pretty easily. 10 different exercises. 21 reps each. Easy peezy.
Yeah so about that last exercise that was supposed to only be 21 reps. @Burns, again, in true I’m-supposed-t0-be-your-friend-but-I’m-feeling-like-a-jerk-this-morning fashion, wondered aloud after the lower body exercises that I should be calling 22 reps of each exercise in honor of the recently departed Christian McCaffrey. As such, 22 reps of burpees were called to wrap up the 10 exercises of 21 reps.
As YHC was explaining the structure of the bear crawl/squat partner work, @Spicoli began to question whether or not YHC was making all of this up as I went. Which was totally inaccurate. There was like….so much planning….that went into this beatdown. So much.
NFL fandom was the subject of much of the discussion between YHC, @Burns, and @Gretel this morning. None of our teams are especially competitive this year. But dadgum it if they aren’t at least interesting. #Bronco’sCountry:Let’sRide
YHC got a little insight into @Post Hole and @Cheesesteak’s discussion during the Irkins/Derkins/Dips station where it sounds like @Cheesesteak might be undertaking some serious renovations at the new crib. @Post Hole was his usual encouraging self reassuring @Cheesesteak that one can never have too many bathrooms.
Related: @Post Hole is more comfortable tent camping than he is in hotels. #pretendstobeshocked
@Lambchop’s new job sounds like an absolute blast. He explained to several of us that he had spent the previous week in LA hanging out with magicians. At least he made it sound like a work trip. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was just his annual trip to a Magician Convention. #youdoyou
@Captain Caveman was posting DR from F3 Chicago. Oddly enough, he seemed to not be a huge fan of the frigid temperatures. #kindredspiritswiththeQ. Also his form was fantastic all morning and it was the subject of much discussion during the bear crawl/squat circuit. Strong work man!
@Cheesesteak called YHC out on throwing my gum into the grass/mulch on our mosey back to launch. I felt ashamed, but also inspired. I am now planning on doing my own Environmental Impact Study on the effects of chewed gum on grass/mulch and will document my findings about the biodegradability of Ice Breakers Ice Cube gum. #science
It’s always an honor to lead the PAX of F3WS. I sincerely appreciate everyone who posted this morning. Thanks for the accountability!
@Post Hole, I may have launched the keys along with my chewed gum into the grass/mulch along the back side of the med school. I currently do not have plans on testing the biodegradability of AO keys.
