Take the chance to create beautiful things on this new day.

Moleskin:   YHC wanted to get the blood pumping this morning.  Put a pretty ballsy preblast up and the F3 Summerville crowd showed up and showed out.  Glad to see one of our newest guys  (Nacho Libre) make the ride from The Jones area this morning.  Apologies to Lite Brite.  Guy showed up @ 0700 for the workout just as we were finishing up.  Apparently there is some discrepancy on one of our social media sites.  YHC is in contact with our IT guys.  Thanks for allowing me to do some crazy stuff this morning.  #bettertogether.

Intro: This BB is a bit late so some things are a little blurry to me. All I do know is we had a good showing a fun enough time where it sidelined me the rest of the week.

Weather: Good for a while, then a bit drizzly

FNGs none

COP:

Catalina Winemixer x 10

TTT x10

THANG: Soccer ball

The soccer ball adds another form of randomness that YHC just seems to love. The PAX also like to make me mad when on a high number PAX choice, they choose OHP one of the exercises that’s a pain for me, but as Q full of Q juice I do it.

The idea goes, starting at 10, then 20, 30 40, 40, 30, 20, and 10 for reps.

The ball is tossed to a PAX member what he sees we do. If he sees a star, it’s PAX choice. If he doesn’t catch the ball, 5 burpees for everyone.

Motherboard at age 60 did all 40 monkey Humpers in cadence with me. We both had to take a moment after that one.

MARY: We had done 40 Flutterkicks during the workout, so we did 60 more at the end.

Moleskin: Masterload’s 2.0s mistakenly stated they had something to eat before coming out to Accelerator. While running would make them Merlot, YHC prefers the beat down fashion of making them regret thinking my Q’s  are easy enough to do that. All had. Some broke wind…quite loudly. And we all got better.
