August 1st = HumidSweatMelon

5

A lucky number 21 warriors shook off the fartsack to welcome August in the best way they know how – losing a liter of sweat in 150% humidity with brothers closer than blood. Here’s how it went down:

The THANG:

COP #1:

  • Mosey to the Amphitheater
  • Welcome & F3 Disclaimer
  • Donkey Kick-Offs (Start w 5 DK’s followed by 5 seconds of feet on step above, then increase by 5 DK’s each round, spaced by 5s each) …went up to 20 DK’s
  • SSH x30 IC
  • Run back to top, x10 Derkins, return and do Dips for the SIX
  • DQ’s x10 IC
  • Repeato x10 Derkins at the top, dips for the SIX
  • Imp Walkers x15 IC
  • Repeato x10 Derkins at the top, dips for the SIX
  • Freddie M’s x20 IC
  • Repeato x10 Derkins at the top, dips for the SIX
  • LBC’s x30 IC
  • Repeato x10 Derkins at the top, dips for the SIX

COP #2:

  • Mosey around to the Stage
  • SLUTTY CUATRO:  Prostitute 4 corners with FOUR 4×4’s at each corner (4×4 = Burpee with x4 Merkins & x4 Mountain Climbers)
  • Forward movement on all fours (Bear crawl), Mosey back to start between laps

COP #3:

  • Mosey to the Carillon Field
  • 100’s – Q calls an exercise, 1st man to complete x100 reps calls out DONE, all PAX stop & run to other side, first man to the other side calls the next exercise, repeato until out of time
  • x9 Sets included – SSH’s, APD’s, Merkins, Squat/MH’s combo, Core Combo (AH’s, WWII’s, FK’s, LBC’s), Hold Elbow Plank 100s, LBC’s, Heels to Heaven, Ring of Fire (ea man x5 reps, rest plank)

Mosey BTTF for COT:

  • Run down the clock with MHumpers, SSH’s, and Lunges
  • Counterama # 21
  • Watermelon Namerama
  • Announcerama (see Comments)
  • YHC took us out in Prayer

NMS:

  • Is there anything so entertaining as watching Hitchhiker gallop down the Carillon Field taunting those trying to keep up with him? What a GREAT time this morning fellas. YHC was surprised by the perpetual mumble chatter today despite the beatdown – must mean ya’ll miss each other so much you’d rather gab than breath. Appreciate the true grit shown by the PAX to push through the Slutty Cuatro – YHC nearly called an audible, but DAMN if I’m proud we didn’t. Pretty sure I heard someone ask if they were tasting sweat or blood… Thunderous T claps to Hitchhiker for the most 100’s “wins” (and style points with that goading), and also to Probation, Snuff, and Phonix for consistently pushing for a win, and to BoneThugs for a strong finishing win and brilliant last Ring of Fire set. Way to work brother! Big friendly welcome to Florence, transplant from Tallahassee F3. Meanwhile, a notable absence of Wilson today (and all his deep south crew), so I suppose the streak had to end at some point. Hilarious F2 at ET’s after – thx Upchuck for insisting YHC come out. As always, it’s an honor and joy to lead you guys – YHC is deeply grateful to have you gents as integral gears in the DTH success machine. (Don’t mumble that or it’ll sound weird…) SYITG!

Share.

  2. Solid Q today. F3 is going to become required for high school wrestlers looking to make weight.

    Solid sprinting today, fellas.

    Glad you joined for the 2nd F. 1st F is the excuse to come out. 2nd F is the glue to build relationships. Based on today, 3rd F might have just become Firearms.

  3. DTH – this was a creative smokefest. It felt like an art student at VCU and a masochist who works at a machine shop designed this workout. Well done brother. And the watermelon was awesome. Bone thug and Hitchhiker are my spirit animals. If Van Delay read this backblast i would let him know how much i liked seeing him out. To wrap this up the conversation at ETs was phenomenal. It was so good i am saving that story for the first time i visit WEAG.
