What follows is one version of this morning’s session.  Multiple events converged to throw today’s TBR ass over teakettle, not the least of which was the Great Q in the Sky expressing his displeasure over last night’s UNC-VT basketball game in the form of an Old Testament thunderstorm.  So ME was a bit scattershot, as you’ll surely detect.

Uzi announced up front that we (he) would be piloting a new program in which ME forks into high-impact and low-impact groups.  He headed up the low-impact group, which, I have no idea how those guys were still standing after their dead-of-night ruck early this morning.

 

Warm-o-rama

SSH

Imperial Walker

WMH

Carioca, butt-kickers, high knees back and forth across the garage.

 

The Thang ….

Five minutes of EMOM burpees.  Pick a number and hit it every minute for five minutes.  Recover.

Suicides with diamond merkins

Suicides with Homer to Marge

Seal burpees for Carolina fans to pay off YHC’s gambling debt.  VT fans were instructed to serenade them with a Hokie fight song.  Their silence indicated that Blacksburg is a little short on the Fine Arts.

Five minutes of EMOM burpees.  Recover.

Sandcrawler:  static exercise is plank hold, then ten shoulder taps, then run to the front of the line.  Repeato in the other direction; static exercise is bridge hold, then ten crab cakes and run to the front of the line.

More seal burpees for the Tarheels while VT fans sing Happy Birthday to Uzi.  Slightly better singing.  Not ready for Carnegie Hall, or really even for Caribou TBH.

Line up on the long wall:  VT fans take turns calling an exercise and bear crawling across the garage and back while the rest of us do the exercise.

Five more minutes of EMOM burpees.  Recover.

Slow squats IC x 10

Reverse shoulder fly IC x 30

Slow squats IC x 20

Reverse shoulder fly IC x 10

 

Mary

No Mary.  YHC’s timing wasn’t great and the bell tower, which is admittedly about two minutes fast, rung right as we started the last set above.

 

COT

Finished off the last of the seal burpees.  Wawa brought our attention to a program that builds and supplies beds for kids whose housing situation is unstable.  Malware announced the formation of a new Thursday AO (Hogan’s Heroes?).  YHC was kinda addled by this point in the morning, so, apologies for any elisions or omissions.

There are so many men in today’s circle and throughout the week in F3 that YHC respects for a variety of reasons.  Go into your day and make someone else look good.
