Grumpy Frosty
QIC: Frostbite
Date: 12/16/2025
PAX: @Ziggy Stardust, @Drama Queen, @Superfly, @Boomerang, @Starfish, @Subfloor, @Adobe, @Slowpitch, @Blind Date, @Tonka, @Frostbite (QIC, YHC, WB)
YHC had they keys to #Parliament this AM. Knowing I had missed a beatdown yesterday, I wanted to inflict pain mainly on me. Turns out that turned outwards to others #Cobains.
YHC spent his Monday an all-day, company-wide townhall. If you didn’t know, cigarettes sell themselves allowing the workers to be focused on partying and “strategy”.
**I am obligated to now say this, if you have any concerns about Tobacco or Nicotine, please consult your primary care physician. If you have not started smoking, don’t start.
Between sessions and break out groups, I had plenty of time to devise a plan. @Tonka then pushed YHC with his #Preblast nudge asking if he would ever shed his weight vest. That was all the fuel I needed.
After enjoying free food and drinks for ole Uncle RJR, YHC decided to give back to the community that was brought to life by my employer by helping out at Samaritan Ministries. We had 5 other #HIMs there – and it turns out all in attendance happen to be regulars at #Parliament. Perfect! YHC spent his night in the dish room with @Adobe but in between, I put the sell on the guys to come and join me in the morning. I think my persuasion worked, or it was purely the fact they are regulars, that 4/5 decided to join YHC in the gloom this AM.
Anywho – let’s get to it.
Warmarama:
SSH x 20 IC
1 Burpee
IST x 15 IC
2 Burpees
Hillbillies x 10 IC
3 Burpees
Copperhead Squats x 10 IC
4 Burpees
@Tonka finally decided to put his weight vest on here after taking the first 3 minutes figuring out how to put that thing on, so with the sole goal of trying to get him to take it off (or @Starfish’s for that matter!) We rinsed and repeated.
SSH x 20 IC
1 Burpee
IST x 15 IC
2 Burpees
Hillbillies x 10 IC
3 Burpees
All seemed sufficiently warmed up by now. We moseyed onto the blocks and returned to the start line.
The Thang:
There would be a start line with a cone. 4 parking spaces away, there would be another cone. That would be the end line.
YHC instructed the #PAX that we would do 1 exercise at the start line and another exercise at the finish line. There would be a mode of transportation in between the start line and the finish line. The reps at the start line would increase +1 with each set all the way up to 5. The reps at the finish line would increase +4 at the end line with each set all the way up to 20.
A Round:
1 x 4
2 x 8
3 x 12
4 x 16
5 x 20
You would do the mode of transportation there and back in between sets. Once finished with a round, SSH for the 6.
Here is what we did:
R1: Decline Diamond Merkins x OH Press (MOT = bear crawl push)
R2: Goblet Squats x Squatty Pottys (MOT = murder bunny)
R3: Elf on the Shelf (L/R) x Curls (MOT = Rifle Carry)
These 3 rounds took a lot longer than YHC expected so I now have a full backside of a weinke that will be used. We put the blocks up and circled up for some core work.
Mary:
H2H
Mutton Crunch L/R
Penguin Crunch
High Dolleys
TIME!
NMM:
@Tonka and @Starfish were up for the challenge with their weight vests and absolutely breezed through the workout. Sadly, YHC failed his mission as they both kept their weights but @Starfish said “30 lbs was a little ambitious” and @Tonka mentioned “if it was 5 parking spots, I would have probably had to taken it off”
@Drama Queen agreed with YHC and @Tonka that the distance was just the right amount of distance. Not too long. Not too short. @Drama Queen huffed and puffed about the burpees during the warmup, and also was not a fan of the focused muscle groups that R2 exercises exploited. He made light work!
@Subfloor is not very good at picking up on trends/patterns as it took him a few sets to get the hang of things. Once he did, he brought the force down and shattered his block. The good thing? The block was in the shape of a chair, which was perfect for the Squatty Pottys!
YHC also broke his block which did not surprise @DQ one bit.
@Blind Date and @Slowpitch teamed up and made light work of the beatdown usually finishing out front. They wanted to get their SSH in!
@Ziggy was the silent assassin once again. He also provided the coffee which warmed everyone’s heart and hands. Thank you sir!
@Boomerang pretty much did his own modes of transportation the whole time but really enjoyed the burpees. I kept telling him the weinke had lunge walk on there, but we did not get to them! Strong work, my man!
@Adobe must be wondering what has gotten into his former Site with all these guys crushing it with the weight vests! He didn’t break a sweat and might be up at the top of the leaderboard on his murder bunny speed.
Announcements:
F3WS turns 12. Come celebrate on 1.10.2026. Impossible Situation plays host. 0700-0800.
It is the week of Cruiser – he will be Qing Distillery and Alcatraz this week.
He may be Qing GreeNest as well as @Starfish is looking for a crew!
Prayers
@Slowpitch and his family as they mourn the loss of his mom
@Subfloor’s Mom is being released from the hospital
@Boom’s M’s knee
YHC took us out thanking the SKYQ for the ability to do hard things. Thanks for the keys, @Tonka! I hid them in your weight vest as you were trying to get the coffee cups out.
All the love,
Frostbite
