Preamble:

It's been a minute since I posted at Bad Apple, let alone Q'd a beat down and it was great to be back. Lots of vehicles already in the lot with quite a few coming in hot. At some point, I admitted that today's workout framework was copied from someone over on this side of town and I appreciated the inspiration. I saw Tron took a photo of the board of pain before he left so he could take the fun back to the boys down in Jacksonville.

Warm-O-Rama:

After a thorough disclaimer, we moseyed to the bottom of the hill/road for:
  • Weedpickers x10 IC
  • Learning to fly x10 IC (forward arm circles while doing a four-count squat)
  • Hillbillies x10 IC
  • SSH x10 IC
  • Phelps/monkey arms OYO

The Thang:

Return to the building (what do you guys call it) where a not-so-secretly-placed board of pain was revealed. It showed 10 exercises with rep counts starting at 100 for the first and decreasing by 10 each round. After each round, pax were instructed to run a lap but stop at each of four cones to perform 3 burpees of different types (regular, hand-release, prison cell, repeat). We modified down to just two burpees at each cone at some point to give us time to do the exercises. Exercises below. A few guys finished or got close to finishing. I could have easily finished if I had another 15 minutes and was slightly stronger.
100 LBCs
90 Curls
80 Monkey humpers
70 Squat jumps
60 Rows
50 Mike Tysons
40 BBSUs
30 No cheat merkins
20 OH Press
10 Burpees

COT:

Miller Time gave us a preview of the upcoming Santa Ruck comz. North Fulton Community Charities reports that the need for food is higher than ever and F3 is one of its top two partners! Prayers for Sprocket's niece Penny as she starts an unexpected treatment for another tumor. Prayers for her parents and medical team and all those involved in her care and recovery.  

Naked-Man Moleskin:

As I mentioned in COT, the 3rd F in F3 is Faith. My faith tells me that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and it was 23 years ago yesterday that I took that leap of faith. The election tomorrow and all the many challenges, opportunities, etc. that come our way are all real and need the appropriate attention. But we are on this world for such a short time and my faith tells me there is an eternal home waiting for me where there are either no burpees or burpees are easy :). Let's live today and every day with the perspective that the elections, the current season we are in, etc. are all temporary and there is Something better waiting for us in eternity. --Speedo out
