COT: being an NC State graduate I have watched plenty of basketball over the last few weeks. The country has come to love DJ Burns and his infectious attitude. He was asked about his joy and he said if he ever did not enjoy playing basketball he would quit playing. He has spread his joy and fun to the team which has allowed them to enjoy each minute. Influence and infect those around you with your attitude to bring them up and be the best they can be.

thegeneral 9 to 5

Date: 2024-04-02
AO: thegeneral
Q: Lazlo
PAX: Popeyes, Hard Knox, bogey, citrus, Traveler, Booking, Toolbox, Papi, Papi FNGs: 1 Papi
COUNT: 9
It was a soggy morning. The Q thought about this in advance, for once, and had some plans for a parking garage beatdown. We picked up Hard Knox just in time and moseyed to the peace and quiet of combining an interstate with an echo chamber. We had an FNG, so we modified things to be a bit easier to follow and less weird. April Fools! We didn’t do that. Because that would be dumb.

WARMUP: SSH, mosey to parking garage, cherry pickers, Michael Phelps, downward dog, WGS

THE THANG: PAX partnered up, and ran a lap around the parking deck, in opposite directions, until they met halfway through the lap. PAX performed 5 exercises together, 5 reps each: -Carolina Dry Docks
-Bonnie Blairs (hard way)
-Monkey Humpers (in cadence)
-WWIs
-American Hammers (IC)
The PAX then high fived before proceeding around the deck until they met at the start, and did the exercises again. Repeato for 5 total laps.

Part 2: Sightseeing tour of the three levels of the parking garage. First level, bear crawl across the deck, stopping at each support post for 2 hand-release Merkins. Mosey down the ramp. Second level, broad jump across the deck, stopping at each support post for 2 HR merkins. Mosey down the ramp. Third level, bear crawl across the deck, stopping for 2 HR merkins.

Mosey back to the top, stopping to crawl bear up the ramps.

Mosey back to the field, run at 50% to the 50, sprint to the other goal line. Repeato x4.

MARY: LBC, toy soldiers

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Murph and Boneathon

COT: It’s 1/4 of the way through the year. Pause to reflect on what you wanted to accomplish this year. If you’re on track, give yourself some credit. If you’ve dropped out of a resolution or haven’t started yet, don’t beat yourself up. But this is a good time to get started.

PAX: Bachelor, FIFA (F3 The Capital), Dungeon Master, Cannoli, CashOnly, Pigeon, @Scabby FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
WARM UP
SSH, IWs, Hillbillies, WMH, Michael Phelps, Cherry Pickers, Cobra Kai, World’s Greatest Stretch,

THE THANG

Blackjack
PAX start on one end of blacktop.

The idea is to perform 20 coupon chest press then
Run to other sideline and
Perform 1 merkin together.
Run back and do 19 chest press and then run back and perform 2 Merkins.
Continue until we perform 1 block press and 20 merkins. The total should always equal 21.

However, YHC failed to mention to the PAX that YHC has never been good at counting during beatdowns, so there were plenty of extra reps thrown in due to miscounting and general confusion amount the ranks.

Deconstructed Burpee Pyramid
Break down a burpee into its 3 main components and perform

1 Thruster
1 Merkin
1 Bobby Hurley

Then repeat with 2 of each exercise and rinse and repeat until reaching 8 of each exercise.

MARY
LBCs
Flutter kicks
American Hammer

ANNOUNCEMENTS
None

COT
Heading out of town this afternoon for the funeral of my cousin Michelle, who was only 54. She died from brain cancer. 3 kids and 2 grandkids.
There is no guarantee of tomorrow Everyday is a gift. Every F3 beatdown is a gift. Use your time wisely.
