Pre-Thang

YHC arrived a little earlier than normal this AM only to see Jazzy already sweating from his walk over by the pull-up bars.  The PAX slowly trickled into the high humidity gloom

Warm-Up

Mosey down the track towards the back end of the park for a warm up COP:

  • COP IC: SSH x 30, Low Slow Squats x 15, Merikans x 15, Imperial Walkers x 20, Plank Jacks x 15

Agassi was nice enough to grace us with his presence after the warm-up.

The Thang

Mosey over to the birdcage for a four square-type circuit run.  YHC will call it the Bermuda Triangle, running laps with three stations of exercises.  Starting at the Birdcage, run down lamp posts until reaching the park track, hang a left, run track until reaching the gravel path back to the Birdcage (approximately 2 miles of running).  Complete the following exercises:

  • End of Lamp Posts – 5 Clap Merikans
  • Gravel Track Entrance – 10 Burpees
  • Birdcage – 15 Squats

Rinse and repeat 4 times.

Mosey over to the pull-up bars.  Pair off in single file behind the bars.  Complete all exercises 1 time rotating forward.  From back to front exercises:

  • 10 Burpees to dictate cadence, Side Plank Right, AMRAP Real Freddie Mercury, Slide Plank Left, AMRAP LBCs, AMRAP Hello Dollies, AMRAP Toes-to-Bar

Circle up around the flag.

Name-O-Rama: Another great Wednesday showing with 13 total in the PAX.  Let’s keep up the good work and continue EH’ing FNGs.  Goal is to hit 100 by first year’s convergence.

Shout Out:

Well today is my tomato’s 28th birthday.  We’re going out to Shaya for dinner with a bunch of friends.  I’ve organized a private room and pre-dinner Smoked Old Fashioned cocktails and nibbles.  Every time something special comes around for my wife, I do my best to go the extra mile for her to make her feel special.  F3 is all about becoming better.  YHC believes the term “better” is left vague so we can interpret however we see fits our personal lives.  F3 is not only making me better physically but also emotionally and mentally.  We talk about being better men and doing those extra details for your wife, significant other, or child.  For me seeing my wife happy is what truly makes me smile.  So leaving this Backblast, YHC encourages everyone to try their best in doing something a little extra for a loved one that’s unexpected.

      Yeah that dirt/sand next to the pull up bars was pretty gross. My tomato wasn’t happy about me leaving a dirty ass print on our scooter before she left for work

    Yeah! Nice job Splash! Another beat down that really sucked, literally because I had trouble breathing… Keep it up until we tell you it is getting easy and then turn it up a bit. It was painfully rewarding.
