Averted the Inverted

Fourteen rose to the challenge, threw of the lure of the Fart Sack, and posted on a Q-less Monday. With conditions steady at sunny and 70, YHC called a Hot Potato (and then never let go). According to the teaching staff preparing for the new school year, some or all of the following may have happened:

Mosey around the bus loop and to the school wall for The COP:

SSHs x~50
Dead Man Hang (BYO cadence)
LBCs
IWs
WWIIs
HRMs
Box Cutters

Mosey to the Parking Lot for Ascending / Descending Parking Lot Arrows

Perform one exercise at each arrow. Transport between arrows will vary.
Round 1 – 3 HRMs + bear crawl, Al Gore for The Six
Round 2 – 6 WWIIs + lunge, plank for The Six
Round 3 – 9 monkey humpers + walk, 6 inches for The Six
Round 4 – 6 four-count flutter kicks + any method except walking, reverse plank with one leg off the ground for The Six
Round 5 – 3 burpees + dealer’s choice, APDs for The Six

Mosey back to the School Wall for a Triple Check:

Run the loop
BTTW
WWIIs

Mary, plank jacks, and other stuff. Mosey BTTVSF.

Numbers, Names, Bodo’s Requested that YHC take us out.

Announcements:
Let’s keep the following in mind and prayer (if you are so inclined) this week:
Pigskin has a friend who passed from cancer.
The people of New Orleans and other areas impacted by Ida.
The people of Afghanistan and the Americans and our allies who have supported them.
Folks who have or are recovering from COVID.
Walter.
YHC feels like he missed one other request – apologies. Please let me know.

NMS:

Great to see both grizzled and chiseled veterans out there today. Great to the see continued presence of some newer guys. Nice to have Bodo’s back from quarantine. At some point, watching Tik-Tok and playing video games had to end, my friend.

YHC did not plan a Q for today, but somehow “inverted keg stands” came to mind. Splinter politely pointed out that an “inverted” keg stand is just standing up. Exceptional point. The PAX averted the inverted part and did keg stands. And, while YHC has not known Pigskin for long, the man can do a ramrod straight, pretty close to vertical, keg stand.

Final note: the Q sheet for the rest of this week has the same number of PAX (6) signed up to Q as we have for Breaking Bread for the rest of the year (also 6). This is great for Breaking Bread. This is sub-optimal for the week. While it’s the first week of school for many of our 2.0s, let’s remember the F3 principles, one of which is that “workouts are led by a ROTATING Q who also participates in the workout.” If you Q regularly or basically every time you show up, now is a great time to encourage other guys to sign up. If you rarely Q, now is a great time to pick up the challenge of leading from time-to-time. Pigskin recently described this as “doing his part.” YHC likes that.

UpChuck spits the bit.
