Devo: It’s ok to not know something.  It’s ok not to have an opinion on a topic you aren’t familiar with.  By all means, get educated on things you want to know about.  But nobody is an expert on everything.

Moleskin: I recycled a workout I had done back in March 2020, and it seemed to get good reviews….except for whatever died near the whiffle ball field, which created a major stench in the air while we spent our time in that part of the park.  It was great to have Three’s Company back in the gloom, and the 2nd F at Starbucks after the workout was excellent.

Bedrock. Saturday, April 10. The one-armed man led a musically-accompanied workout, giving the PAX free reign to choose their own exercises if desired. Since I was fairly confined to core and lower body I wanted others to have the option of mixing in some upper body. A different exercise for each song, with a lap around the gravel parking lot when you need a break.

I can’t upload a picture so here are some wieners.

Deconstructing and modifying the Cannoli Flame

The Cannoli Flame is an accountability workout I created for myself years ago: Run a mile, then do 10 burpees, 20 LBCs, 30 merkins, 40 squats and 50 flutter kicks. Repeat the run and the exercises four times. For a fun Saturday at Bedrock, I had the PAX deconstruct the Cannoli Flame by running to pre-placed cones throughout the park where the exercises were performed. We also got blocks and started with 20 curls for Milton’s wife. Here’s how the rest went:

Run to first cone: Instead of burpees, we did 10 overhead press with the Beast.

Run to second cone: 20 LBCs

Run to third cone: 30 merkins

Run to fourth cone: 40 squats

Run to fifth cone: 50 flutter kicks

Then go back down the ladder by running back to the cones in order, and finally the blocks and curls. Repeat until time is called. The Wescott Park is a deceptively large space. I logged nearly four miles during the workout and most others were clustered around that number.

We broke down the Cannoli Flame at Bedrock on Dec. 12.

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

Conditions: Muggy, but not too hot.

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x25 IC; TTT x10 IC; Mountain Climbers x15 IC; LBAC (forward & backward x12 IC); SSH x25 IC; Mosey around a loop starting at the flag, going past the water fountain and bathrooms, down the sidewalk beside the AO, and then back into the park.

The Thang:
-Partnered up based on age (two youngest were partners, and pair up next two guys in age, all the way to the oldest).
-Did a modified Dora…one partner runs the loop that we ran during the warmup, the other partner does an exercise called by the Q…but we don’t count reps…we just do that exercise until I switch to a new one.
-Exercises were merkins, squats, flutter kicks…each round lasting about 6-8 minutes.
-After the flutter kicks, we circled back up and did SSH x25 IC.
-Partnered up based on birth date.
-Did another set of modified Dora w/ new partners…exercises were burpees, squat jumps, and LBCs.

Mary: Held plank for about a minute…that’s all we had time for.

Numberama: 18

Namerama: Peaches, Bob the Builder, High Stick, Motherboard, Microwave, Fish N Chips, Placebo, Mayhem, Nacho Libre, Middle School, Schrute, Three’s Company, Double Trouble, Grits, Where Ya At, Show Me, Stalker, Waldo

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Saturday workouts are the closest thing we have to a convergence right now…so a good turnout is great to see.

Devo: Gave the Bedrock mantra.

Moleskin: I saw that this Q was open, and I had never Q’d outside Bedrock, so I decided to give it a shot.  The AO was a bit chaotic, with FiA having their Olympics and construction blocking off the horseshoe area, but luckily I was able to find a good loop to run to make the modified Dora work.  A good mix of guys from different AOs showed up, and hopefully they got their money’s worth.

Take care of the vulnerable in your life. If you have parents, grandparents, neighbors, friends, etc, who are at risk for complications from COVID who are taking unnecessary risks, be the leader and try to help them understand. You could be the one they listen to, and it could save their life.
