Warmarama:

Medley of legs and arms, on the ground and standing up.

The Thang Part 1:  Can’t Touch This

Set to Hammer’s “You Can’t Touch This”.  Instructions were:

• When Hammer says, “Can’t Touch This” = Burpee
• When Hammer says “Break It Down” = American Hammers
• When Hammer says “Stop, Hammer time” = Stop American Hammers and stand back up
• Rest of the song, carioca back and forth
• Total 34 burpees

Mosey to the rock quarry.

The Thang Part 2:  War Baby!

Everyone grab a rock, medium to medium-large in size.  Then find a place around the quasi-circular grassy knoll.  Perform 37 reps (Giles’s age) of each exercise, some of which included the chosen rock, on the weinke.  After completion of each exercise, bear crawl a full circle around the grassy knoll.  Then proceed to next exercise.  Exercises were:

• Hand-Release Merkins
• Squats
• Curls
• Monkey Humpers
• Overhead Press
• Heels to War
• Dive Bombers
• Side Lunges
• Front Raises
• Flight Attendants
• Should Tap Jacks
• Oblique Crunch
• Carolina Dry Dock

Mosey home for Mary:

Heels to War x 37

Announcements:

• D-Day has the Q at Purgatory, Root Canal has SuperMax and Alcatraz Qs, and The H.O.G. has UA Q.
• The Shmed: August 27^th-28^th.  Look for a pre-blast from Zima on Slack in the next couple of days.

Prayer Requests:

• Giles’s wife.
• Family and friends of Hoser, pax who died 3 years ago. Do something great in your neighborhood and reach out to folks you haven’t seen recently.
• Plunger’s electric problems in his heart.

YHC read Psalm 46 and lifted up these prayer requests to the LORD.

NMM:

• YHC flipped a Q from Flatline from 2020 where we “honored” the War Daddy, Drip in that case, by performing the number of reps of his age (https://www.f3winstonsalem.com/f3/2020/01/war-daddy/). Workbench just missed being co-honoree this morning having recently turned 38.  Giles, at 37, took the honors.
• The grassy knoll was the real villain this morning, despite what Huck said about YHC. We
• Someone called out after completing squats what the mode of transportation should be. “I’ve already told you that.”  Commence grumbling.
• Most pax completed the overhead press. As usual, the Q planned poorly with regards to time.
• Goofy let everyone know that it was 0543 when we completed Hammer Time. Me thinks the pax would have preferred not knowing that fact.
• Green Acres enjoyed the bear crawling. YHC tried to find a rock half the size of his to no avail.
• Argyle rolled in towards the end of warmarama, but he jumped right in and got after it.
• The sage Burlap offered some very wise recommendations for what YHC could do after the workout, but YHC forgot what they were.
• D-Day, sensing that age would play a part in the morning’s activities, encouraged Burlap to call Parkay and recruit him to join us.
• Transcript is getting stronger. Great to see him out several times over the past two weeks.
• Boomerang was kind to tell YHC “Well done” after the workout. Some of the things he said to YHC during the workout are not appropriate for a family backblast.

It was an honor to lead this group of men who met the War Baby challenge head on.  Boomerang, the keys are in the grassy knoll.
