Chiseling a HIM

The heavens declared 8 warriors worthy to ascend the mighty Ridge, including one yet to earn his place among the brotherhood. According to legend, and the gawking herd of pay-up-to-workout “Reload” clowns cramping our parking area, this is what transpired:

The THANG:

COP #1:

• Mosey up to the grass field and circle up for Welcome, F3 Disclaimer, and a fair number of Tryhard-style Warmerama exercises in-cadence, broken up with short runs around the lacrosse goals
• Holding elbow plank at the end, YHC provided a little review of the F3 principles and outline

COP #2:

• Mosey to the base of Heartbreak Ridge
• Partner Up
• Complete x3 rounds of:
• x20 PLT’s each at the bottom
• Run to the top
• x10 Booyah Merkins at the top
• Run to the bottom
• Close out with x1 Bernie to the top, and x1 Bearcrawl to the top

COP #3:

• Mosey over to the Jerkin Gym
• ELEVENS:
• Jerkins 10 —> 1
• Dips on the bleachers 1 —> 10

COP #4:

• Mosey back up to the field and partner up for a Mini-Dora
• x50 WWII’s
• x100 Merkins
• x150 Squats

Mosey BTTF:

• x10 Merkins of excellent quality completed in pro-F3 style with loud cadence called (for the crowd of wannabes)

COT:

• Counterama # 8
• Namerama
• Announcerama (see Comments)
• YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

NMS: This morning marked a monumental day for YHC see his old friend Joe Ferguson, FNG “Chisel” (he’s a carpenter) finally answer the call to HIM-ism. Without any premeditated plans made whatsoever, YHC framed the workout around showing Chisel the AO and keeping things simple but challenging. He kept up easily as we all enjoyed a solid beatdown, and the 8 HIM’s in attendance glistened like gladiators in the morning light (OK, we were suuuuper gross and sweaty with the 1000% humidity). But we still represented F3RVA well, and I’m sure the prowess of our feats of strength will be told around the tables of those “Reload” members wondering how they might too workout for free. Looking at their website, apparently they pay $12 each for 60 minutes of clipboard-led routines (dumbbells and resistance bands provided…) and they’ll be a regular invasion of the Quioccasin parking lot. I was honestly tempted to drop some literature about F3RVA, but figured that’d be poor form.  Thanks as always for permitting me to lead. YHC, Tryhard
