Devo: If bounty hunters can have a code of honor between themselves, so can we.  Follow the Golden Rule.  Don’t be a dick.

Moleskin: My nerd side took over after watching the debut of the Mandalorian on Disney+ this week, so I had a bounty hunter inspired workout today.  I found that F3 CarPex (in Cary & Apex, NC) has an AO called Bounty Hunters, and that AO has a quarterly fitness test called the Sharknado.  I modified it slightly, but I decided to bring the Sharknado to Bedrock and it is definitely in the same family tree as our beloved Cardiac fitness test.  We had a small group, but I think we got some good work in, and as always, some solid mumble chatter.

Jailbreak to the flag.  You vs. You.  Push your self with everything you have left.

 

Mary: Sugar Mountain asked YHC if he could handle ‘Mary’ for the day.  He also wrote this portion of backblast

In honor of Sakrete.

We learned at The Guild that it take Sakrete 37 seconds to conceive a child. It is also his 33rd birthday. So the following happened

Devo: Used the devo time to hand over the reigns to Waldo for the time being as YHC is stepping away to nail down things at home after the newest 2.0 comes into the world.

Moleskin:   We did 33 (my age) of a lot of exercises that YHC doesn’t enjoy doing.  Defib kicked mulch on me as we were doing LBAC.  I guess 33 in both directions was too much.  Defib also almost died.  Alot.  Easy In is really fast.  Waldo is also fast.  Didn’t have a lot of mumble chatter this morning.  YHC will chalk it up as a win.  Anytime you can quiet this crowd you have done something.

Conditions: Very nice, a little cooler than normal.

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x30 IC, TTT x10 IC, Mountain Climbers x15 IC, LBAC x12 (forward and backward) IC, slow mosey around the dirt parking lot

The Thang:
-Partner up, and each ‘team’ grabs one cinderblock and two bricks.
-Dora…the run is around the dirt parking lot, with the exercises done at the entrance to that parking lot.  Each ‘team’ decides whether the runner has both bricks, or the cinderblock.  The one performing the exercises uses whatever is leftover.  And you can switch tactics at any point of the workout.  The Dora was 100 Blockees/Brickees, 200 squats with the block/brick, 300 curls for the girls.  For the teams that finished early, do overhead presses as the exercise.

Announcements: GrowRuck is coming soon.

Devo: It is ok to admit when you don’t know something, or to withhold an opinion on an issue when you don’t feel like you fully understand it.

Moleskin: I kept things pretty simple for this workout.  The timing worked out perfectly as the slowest team was wrapping up the curls for the girls just as time was running out.  I mentioned during Tuesday’s workout that we weren’t going to do burpees today…and technically I was correct.  Blockees are not burpees.

New Day

Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a new day dawning. (NLT) ( Ecclesiastes 11:7  )

 

When was the last time you had the chance to see the sunrise? It’s breathtaking watching the light slowly take shape at the start of a new day.  It’s a simple reminder that each day has the potential for so much beauty.  Today is a new, glorious day! Take the chance to create beautiful things on this new day.

Moleskin:   As of Tuesday night we didn’t have a Q lined up for this morning.  YHC put a post out about needing someone to sign up and Mad Dog quickly responded that he could throw something together.  Boo ya!!  Freed to Leed.  My man must have been thinking of this one for a long time.  Within a couple hours he had sent me his plan and was ready to execute.  Simple in explanation but the suck on this one was real.  Mumble chatter was heavy as usual at Bedrock but our guy Mad Dog rolled with the punches.  Great work my dude and I look forward to your next one!!

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

Conditions: Warm and Muggy, but a little better than some recent days. Due to some lighting issues at the dog park area we normally meet at, I made the call to move the flag and workout out by the entrance near the big baseballs.

FNGs: None

The Thang:
-At the small wall, Step-ups x20 (each leg)
-Lunge walk to parking lot at the far right of the park (if you’re coming into the park)
-Roundabout 11s (instead of running back and forth, we run around the traffic oval, doing one exercise at one end, and the other exercise at the other end): The exercises were burpees & jump squats…got close to completion, but I moved on from this when most people were not quite complete with their reps.
-Slow mosey back to the small wall.
-Step-ups x20 (each leg)

Announcements: LQ at Miler for Underhand tonight

Devo: When stressed out, make sure to find a healthy outlet (such as a 5am beatdown)…don’t take it out on your family, friends, coworkers.

Moleskin: To answer the question in the headline, no, Waldo isn’t afraid of the dark.  Now I understand that Wescott is called the Country Club for a reason…our work-out conditions and facility are pretty nice, and one thing that I take for granted is the lighting we have.  When I showed up to find that lights were completely out in the back half of the park, I realized that the workout I had planned would probably be a little rough in the dark (especially without headlamps) given that we would have been running back and forth and in proximity to blocks on the ground.  So I decided we should move to the end of the park that had lights and set-up shop there.  We got set up just in time to start, and I had to come up with a workout on the fly…so I incorporated some of the stuff I already had planned, and combined it with some things I’ve done in the past.  I wanted cardio and leg work, and I think we accomplished that.
