Announcements: Bedrock is hosting this week’s Saturday workout…Sakrete will be Qing

Devo: The Devo started during the workout, as we complained while carrying the blocks, Mayhem referenced Louis Zamperini (the inspiration for the book/movie ‘Unbroken’), and that just about any suffering or discomfort we have, pales in comparison to what some people have gone through.  And to rely on your faith in those moments of suffering or discomfort.

Moleskin: Mayhem wasn’t messing around today…his 2nd co-Q destroyed our arms as we carried the blocks throughout the park.  The mumble chatter focused on Mayhem’s seemingly endless time as a 49-year old, and given his last name, Fish N Chips concluded that he must be an immortal, like in the movie Highlander (which featured a character w/ the last name MacLeod).  Mayhem is going to be a great addition to the Q rotation.

Devo: Bedrock Mantra…DBAD

Moleskin: In tribute to the movie ‘Groundhog Day’, I wanted to do a repeating workout, but I didn’t want it to feel like the Cardiac.  So I put in a series of block exercises, and made the running part a little different.  Overall, I think it went pretty well…the mumble chatter was strong and we got some good work in.

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

Conditions: Cool and a bit breezy

FNGs: Shooter McGavin (Bill Jarboe)

COP: TTT x10 IC; SSH x27 IC; Mountain Climbers x18 IC; LBAC forward, Overhead Claps, LBAC backward (all while Easy In tells us about the workout); Runners Stretch

The Thang:
-Already had blocks at the start of the workout, gather (w/ block) at the entrance to the dirt parking lot.
-Slow mosey around the dirt parking lot
-Easy In would call out an exercise and the pax would do as many reps until they burnout.  First pax to fall out has to do 5 burpees.  Every other pax would do 3 burpees once they reached failure (except for the last remaining pax, he would not have to do burpees). After failure, hold plank or join back in until last man is standing.  Everyone then moseys around the parking lot and the next exercise is called.
-The exercises included tricep extensions, block press, Lt. Dan’s, Curls for the Girls, Overhead Press, Calf Raise w/ Block, Lawn Mowers, LBCs.
-During these exercises, Easy In would be playing songs that came from movies.  The first pax to identify the movie that the song came from would then have to hand out 10 burpees to the pax of their choice (but cannot choose a pax that had already been chosen to the do the burpees before)
-Stow Blocks

Moleskin: Easy In had done his first co-Q several months ago, so it was time to get him back out to lead the crew so he could attain full Q status.  This was a fun, inventive workout that allowed for a lot of good mumble chatter.  The competition aspect was fun as well, even if we knew that Defib would win every round.  Welcome to FNG Shooter McGavin.

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Tectonic will host this week’s rotating Saturday workout.  Old Flame will be doing a 100 mile run in full gear.

Devo: ‘If you can’t do it, don’t Q it’.  This motto held me back for a while…I didn’t want to Q for the longest time, because I was always worried I’d struggle at some point during a workout and not be able to hold up that end of the bargain.  But over time, I’ve developed ways to work around my weaknesses in order to fulfill that motto, but I wasn’t always bettering myself.  So sometimes you have to be willing to take some heat from the Pax in your attempts to better yourself.  I struggle with merkins, but if I never put them in a workout, I’ll never improve.   So in a ‘do as many as you can in 30 seconds’ type of workout, I can push myself, but not hold other Pax back.  There are ways to structure a workout that will let that happen, and I appreciate the pax for pushing me to keep my form on the plank or to not hold up my end of the deal while Qing.

Moleskin: To honor the start of September, the ninth month of the year, I decided to build a workout around the number 9.  I then realized you could fit a 9X9 circuit workout (30 seconds per exercise) into a 45 minute time slot exactly when you add in 30 seconds of rest after each circuit.  So I gave it a shot, and the pax didn’t hate me nearly as much as I expected, yet I still think we got some good work in.

The men of Bedrock were treated on Tuesday to a sampling of the greatest music to grace God’s Earth: MY music. Nine songs of pure glory, each one crafted with care by Masters of Rock. When the speaker crapped out we improvised by playing the tunes through the car stereo. Just like high school, minus the mullet and substituting the sporty little coupe for a Hyundai sedan.

Macklemore was not featured in my playlist due to his being a huge, untalented douche.

Conditions: Cloudy, mid 70s.

The Thang

Do the exercise listed next to the song while it’s playing, AMRAP style. When you need a break, take a lap around the gravel parking lot.

  • Welcome To The Jungle: Overhead Press
  • Kickstart My Heart: Dammits
  • Machinehead: Monkey Humpers (no block)
  • Hey Man Nice Shot: Curls for the Girls
  • Starseed: Freddie Mercurys (no block)
  • Midlife Crisis: Squats with Blocks
  • She Sells Sanctuary: Merkins (on block or off – PAX choice)
  • Enter Sandman: American Hammers (no block)
  • Sabotage: Lunges with Blocks
