Mission Statement

Disclaimer & Prayer

Iโ€™m not a professional, modify as needed, donโ€™t sue me or F3. ๐Ÿ˜…

We kicked off with a prayer for protection and gratitude that the rain didnโ€™t drown us.

Warm-O-Rama

We got the blood flowing (and scared off imaginary FNGs) with:

  • 10 Imperial Walkers ๐Ÿ•บ
  • 10 Hillbilly Walkers ๐Ÿค 
  • 5 Mountain Man Poopers ๐Ÿ’จ
  • 5 Arm Circles Forward โญ•
  • 6 Arm Circles Backward ๐Ÿ”„
  • 5 Side Straddle Hops ๐Ÿฆ˜
  • Etch-a-Stretch (because weโ€™re artsy like that) ๐ŸŽจ

The Thang

We dove into the pain cave, designed to make FNGs run for the hills (or never return). ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

  1. Partner Pain Circuit
    .Concurrent List

    • One partner hit 5 Pull-Ups, 10 Mericans, 15 Squats while the other sprinted to the third light pole and back. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ
    • Repeated until each PAX ran 5 times. FNGs wouldโ€™ve quit after the first sprint. ๐Ÿ˜น
  2. Tabata Torture: Rocky Balboa Edition
    • 8 rounds of Rocky Balboas, aiming for 50+ per round. We punched those curbs like they insulted our moms. ๐ŸฅŠ
    • PAX were wheezing, but no FNGs were there to faint. ๐Ÿ™Œ
  3. Tabata Teamwork: High-Five Havoc
    • Partners alternated with Bobby Hurleys (high-five at the top instead of jumping) and Ones where partners high-fived mid-rep. โœ‹
    • The high-fives were so epic, FNGs wouldโ€™ve felt left out and ghosted us. ๐Ÿ˜ข
  4. Tabata Takedown: Upper Body Burn
      • Overhead Press and Upright Rows. Shoulders screamed, but no FNGs were there to cry. ๐Ÿ’ช
  5. Dora of Doom
    • 200 Curls, 100 Dips, and a dream of 300 Freddie Mercurys (nobody finished, oops). ๐Ÿ˜…
    • FNGs wouldโ€™ve seen the curl count and bolted to their cars. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

Mary

Skipped because we were too busy scaring off hypothetical FNGs. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Count-O-Rama

8 PAX, no Returning FNGs (they heard about this workout and hid).

Name-O-Rama

Jester, Spam, Ghost Rider, Copy Machine, Bobber, Woz, Crampon, Jake. All veterans, no newbies to traumatize. ๐Ÿ˜น

Announcements

None. FNGs didnโ€™t show, so no need to announce their welcome party. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Moleskin

People go where theyโ€™re invited and stay where they feel wanted. ๐Ÿ’ฏ Weโ€™re out here inviting FNGs to F3 and church, but after this beatdown, theyโ€™re probably changing their phone numbers. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Keep EHโ€™ing, make โ€˜em feel the love, and maybe one day theyโ€™ll stick around (or at least show up once). Ball of Man and prayer to close, asking for courage to keep inviting and strength to survive these workouts. ๐Ÿ™

COT (Circle of Trust)

Closed with a prayer for brotherhood and persistence in inviting others, even if they sprint away from our Qs. ๐Ÿ˜…
