It’ll be a year in July of this F3 thing for YHC, first post being at TR. Been a game-changer, as for many of you. In that time, definitely have come to dread certain exercises over others, though marked improvement even in those that are challenging.
So decided to confront some of my least favorite exercises and then reward with some that are favorites today.
Loonie joined Bellhop and YHC for an EC coupon ruck in perfect conditions. Awesome fellowship and strong work with a 50# sandbag and 30# plate swapped off on the ATT.
WARMUP
SSH X 20 IC
5 burpees OYO
Good Morning X 10 IC
5 burpees OYO
Little Baby Arm Circles X 12 IC and Reverse IC
5 burpees OYO
Willie Mays Hayes X 10 IC

Mosey to field
YHC hates bear crawls. Get smoked in shoulders and lungs fast, or at least faster than everyone else, seems like.
So…
25 merkins at first corner
Bear Crawl to far corner
20 merkins
Bear crawl to next corner
15 merkins
Crawl Bear to next corner
10 merkins
Crawl Bear Home
5 merkins
That took a while, so put next round to a vote: Buddy Carry down and back, or traveling burpee. It was split. So Barksdale in his infinite wisdom advised doing half and half, traveling burpee to one end, Buddy Carry back, switching halfway. It was fun.
Last on the list of hated stuff was Wheelbarrow, but skipped in interest of time to move onto YHC’s faves.
Crabwalk (legs in front) to half field
Walkcrab (legs in back) back home
Backwards run entire field
AYG Sprint back
Mosey to rocks, grab a big’un.
Row X 20 SC
Squat X 20 SC
Curls X 10 SC
Overhead press X 20 SC
YHC needs work on biceps, so outsourced that count to Cardiac for next round…
Row X 20 SC
Squat X 20 SC
Curls X 31(!) SC
Overhead press X 20 SC
MARY
Kept rocks to hold overhead for an ROF with six inch hold while every PAX did 5-count flutter kick IC
Plank ROF – 5 merkins each
Heels to Heaven X 20 IC
Put rocks up and moseyed to shovel flag for 21 burpees OYO in honor of UNC-Charlotte hero Riley Howell
COT
Brick’s standard for a good workout is burning over 500 calories. Got him to 518! He’ll put them all back tonight at Town Hall Burger and Beer, as we wish him and the M well in their move to The Northern Province.
The Bull Oct. 26. Floyd has designed the T-shirt. It’s awesome.
Please support Harbaugh’s efforts to send two D-Day vets to Normandy for the 75th anniversary. Details on slack. $20 per PAX would put him over the top of fundraising efforts.
Bellhop asked for prayers for a job interview today.
BOM
As at The Eagle on Monday, YHC shared the Catholic tradition of honoring The Virgin Mary throughout the month of May. During this time, all are encouraged to reflect on and recommit themselves to always treating the women in their lives with the utmost respect and love. Ended with a prayer and asking the intercession of Holy Mother.
An honor and pleasure as always. Til next time. Aye!
