Get a Grip

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

It was a pleasant and cool morning as 5 PAX made their way to the parking lot that was smothered with others taking advantage of the pleasantries.  YHC thought it’d be a grand Q event with all these people, but only five came for F3 and they were not disappointed. With cinder blocks ready, here we go.

THE THANG

Call it a post-COP, pre-The Thang:

Murph practice for about 6 minutes

  • 5 pullups
  • 10 merkins
  • 15 squats

Now it’s time to Get a Grip, as in the 11th studio album from Aerosmith in 1993.  Which also provided good background music as PAX ventured into the next phase of the Q.

Partner up. At the monkey bars, Partner 1 does a Dead Hang for the amount of time equal to 50 seconds minus the first two digits of their body weight (eg, a 220 lb PAX would hang for 28 seconds).  While Dead-hanging, Partner 2 does Merkins on their fingertips. Then switch.

Then, Partner 1 Farmer Carries two blocks the distance of three light posts while Partner 2 walks with him doing Cherry Pickers.

Both PAX do 10 underdogs at the swings.

Switch, and Partner 2 does the Farmer Carry back, while Partner 1 does Cherry Pickers.

Rinse and repeat (excluding the Murph part). By the third round, PAX were losing their grips.
