YHC hadn’t been to an F3 workout in a while due to work travel, fighting a little flu and to avoid some of the crazy IPC workouts. So it was time to take the Q for Manndate and do a non-IPC workout. YHC went to the old reliable deck of cards.

2 Davillians escaped the fartsack to hoist some iron on a cool, misty morning.

Four upstanding gentlemen arrived in the gloom, hunks of iron in tow, eager to start the day off right. Unfortunately for the rest of them, YHC was in charge, so “right” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the previous sentence. Here’s what happened in this Birthday Q:COP – side straddle hops, Don Quixote, helicopters, Russian soldiers (with some mumblechatter about whether one is meant to use arm/leg from the same side or opposite sides), LBCs, merkins Triple Check #1: Carry the bell in a lap of the parking lotOld Man Test – sit down and stand back up…

DTH and YHC clown-carred all the way up north on the summer tour and in true clown fashion didn’t bring kettle bells. That’s what I get for Q’ing a place I’ve never been without reading old backblasts. The Manndate veterans thankfully kept their mockery to the F3 baseline (savage but in good faith) and the workout began. Warmups: SSHs, DQs, helicopters, dead man hang stretches, merkins, plank stretches and some other stuff. To work around the missing bells, a triple check: run the loop, kettle bell swings and kettle bell squat thrusters. A second triple check: run the loop with…
