This week Churham is placing a little extra emphasis on the form of common exercises: Merkin, Squat, and Burpee. It just so happens the world’s record for most push ups in an hours was beaten yesterday by a dude in Charlotte. He complete 3,050!!! It demonstrates why we need to focus on form. We’re not attempting to set world records. While doing that many of anything in an hour is a feet, neither the military nor CrossFit would have counted all of those push ups. Proper form helps increase strength while preventing injury. That should be a goal of every beat down.

Mosey’d to the stairs by the bookstore for 11s with HR Merkins and Squats jumps. The direction was given to take every step. Found a wall, sat, then lifted our bums on the wall holding our legs at a 90 degree angle.
Bear Crawled to the Bell Tower. In succession, the pax:

  • BTW til 2 pax came down
  • 10 Control Freak Burpos
  • Wall Sit until 2 pax stood up
  • 10 6ct burpees

We had a FNG, hence forth to be known as Farmer’s Only, post who found out about F3 through Strava. We also had Bear Claw come out. He earn his name in Charlotte, but had not yet posted here. He’s been in Durham for years now, so better late than never! We also had a Churham OG who’s not posted in quite some time. This reminds me that even while one strives to live a purposeful life, they never know the degree of impact he they have on another’s life. Reach out to a PAX you’ve not seen. Tell a guy about this crazy thing you do in the gloom. You never know what that may mean to him… or what he may one day mean to you.
