Mobo’s annual anniversary Q to celebrate 37 years with the M. You know what they say, “A good wife always forgives her husband when she’s wrong.” Works for me.

Conditions: Sunny, warm & humid = perfect F3 Summerville weather.

WU: TTT, Imperial Walkers

Thang: Mosey to shed and get a block and 3 poles and back to open area. While 3 people carry logs to other end of area and back, the Pax does an exercise of Q’s choice until all 3 are back and drop the logs. If the count is greater than 37, the 3 loggers must do 5 burpees. Rotate the loggers and repeat. Exercises: Up&Overs, Flutter Kicks, Ovhd Press, WWIs, Curls, Magoos, Merkins, Bent Over Rows, Tricep Ext, Monkey Humpers, LBCs.

Mary: American Hammers x 37, Planks

Moleskin: The magic number 37 turned out to be a challenge for the loggers to get back in time for some exercises, hence burpees were prevalent. It did make the loggers hustle especially when they heard the Pax count as they returned back. Anything to avoid burpees.

Devo:

Good Shepherd
“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me,” (NLT) ( John 10:14 )These words came straight from Jesus’ mouth. If you ever wonder whether Jesus cares for you or loves you, this is your verse. He knows you so well, even the cry of your heart. He is a good shepherd who has sacrificed Himself for you. If you are wondering where God is in your life or if He cares for you, this is your message. These are His words speaking directly to you.

Moleskin: Great to see such high numbers at The Cardiac for Beast Week. This was an awesome week that brought a bunch of new faces out to AOs they don’t typically visit. The original Beast Week record is 17. That is held by 2 folks that are absolute studs. Ma Bell and Chilly Willy. This morning our boy Saget did 14 complete rounds before leaving for The Warrior at The Jones 10 minutes early. I fully believe he would have beat the record. What an absolute animal. Great work gentleman!!

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: Low 70s, sunrise during workout, humid. Due to Beast Week, numerous PAX came immediately from Bedrock or The Ditch for a double-down.

FNGs: None

The Thang:

We did our monthly fitness test, The Warrior. The PAX have 40 minutes to complete the following:

Run 1 mile, then
AMRAP (as many rounds as possible)
- 5 pull-ups (on goalpost)
- 10 merkins
- 15 squats
- Run 120 yards (to opposite goalpost)

Fitness test results (compare against May’s results):

Saget: 23.35 (first time) – with BJDD – NEW COURSE RECORD!
Hard Drive: 22.34 (vs. 20.212 in April, finished 12 squats) – with BJDD
Dorothy Mantooth: 19.30 (vs. 19.00 last time)
Luigi: 19.33 (vs. 20.35 last time)
TKO: 16.20 (first time) – with DJDD
Bedpan: 16.00 (vs. 16.30 in August 2018) – with DJDD
LottaLove: 16.00 (vs. 16.37 last time)
Cheetah: 13.00 in 33 minutes (vs. 18.00 in 45 minutes in June 2018) – with BJDD
Blackout: 12.00 in 33 minutes (first time) – with BJDD
Gypsy: 10.00 (first time) – with BJDD
Masterload: 10.00 (first time) – with DJDD
Tinder: 9.00 (first time) – with BJDD

*BJDD = Bedrock-Jones double down; DJDD = Ditch-Jones double down

Here’s how to read the decimal scoring (each set of exercises adds one tenth):

10.00 = finished ten rounds exactly
10.04 = finished ten rounds plus 4 pull-ups
10.10 = finished ten rounds plus all 5 pull-ups
10.205 = finished ten rounds plus all 5 pull-ups, all 10 merkins, and 5 of the squats
10.30 = finished ten rounds plus everything except the run
10.40 = 11.00
Hopefully you get the picture. 🙂

Numberama: 12

Pledge and COT

Moleskin:

Dorothy Mantooth completed the fastest mile today at 6:57.
We were able to use the field again for the first time since December 2018, which was nice. We also tried out a new-and-improved scoreboard that YHC constructed last night from a discarded 3’x4′ dry erase board. It worked okay but the dry erase pens started to konk out midway through due to moisture, so we need to find a fix for that. However, it’s nice to have space for up to 30 PAX and up to 30 rounds completed – lots of room to grow!
