Socialism At It’s Finest

Socialism At It’s Finest

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 08/14/2026

PAX: @Slowpitch (EC) @Rubber Ducky (EC, WD)) @Wahoo @Rudolph @HokeyPokey @Ziffel @HeadHunter @Tonka @Frostbite (QIC, YHC, WB)

The main goal of Socialism is to share wealth fairly and make good for use rather than for profit. In a way, F3 works like that – the batflippers get penalized for finishing 1st by having to pick up the 6 or in the case of today’s beatdown, spend more time doing burpees.

YHC had the keys to #WesternFront this AM and wanting to impress the beasts on the west side (#WeFoCo) YHC dug deep into his brain and the archives. YHC’s first year doing IPC was in 2024 – the main rule for IPC is don’t check twitter and don’t be an ass. This beatdown below YHC was accompanied by @Greenspan and @Cruiser and a few others at Hanes Park. That is all I remember but the format worked well and YHC decided to bring it back. @Rollback would have loved this workout, but for some reason, did not post today… the plan was all in vain!!

YHC did not call an EC run – mainly because YHC knew what was coming and was tired. Also, the M has increasingly made it clear that I wake her up with my silent alarm and getting changed downstairs. Being the great hubby YHC is, I let the M get that extra 20 minutes.

YHC stated in the preblast that we would hard launch at 0530 so get your warming up beforehand!

The Thang:

There would be a 5 minute timer. The #PAX were instructed to run 200m, do 30 reps of an exercise. Run back 200m and do burpees until the timer goes off. Rinse and repeat until time!

We did 8 rounds with the exercises consisting of:

1. 30 Freddie Mercs (DC)
2. 30 Pickle Pounders
3. 30 Low Flutters (DC)
4. 30 Plank Jacks
5. 30 Monkey Humpers
6. 30 Squats
7. 30 LBCs
8. 30 SSH
9. 30 Burpees 🙂

It twas fun.

NMM:

@Tonka was out front all morning and soon quickly began asking for the timer to be 3 minutes rather than 5 minutes. That would roughly only equate to 30 seconds of burpees vs 2 minutes…

@Tonka is the source of the Socialism comment… he was in the lead and he did the most burpees because of it.

@Slowpitch sweats a lot but made it look easy

@Ziffel looked like Cyborg going shirtless for the whole workout

@Head Hunter was on the heels of @Tonka – he graciously started carrying the speaker to the 200m mark so we could enjoy the tunes down there as well.

@Rudolph just cussed the whole time

@HokeyPokey is becoming a regular! 3rd Beatdown and getting after it. Strong work my man!

@Wahoo tried to guide the conversations… by asking “hey where do you think that plane is going? or where are you vacationing next week.”

@Wahoo does not complain about the music as long as there is music.

@RubberDucky was using his sales skills (VP of Sales) to try and get the t-shirt order in.

Announcements:

Thanks for the keys @RubberDucky!
