What had happened was:
No Running, just EMOMs

8 PAX posted at The Rock this morning. The Five Stones faithful, plus yours truly and Zinfandel, made for a solid crew and a good change of scenery.

There’s something to be said for visiting a site you don’t frequent. Mix up the workouts, get outside your normal routine, and connect with PAX you might not otherwise get to spend time with. Same mission, different faces, and always a good time.

The Beatdown
We put the coupons to work with three rounds of Upper Body Blitz, three rounds of Legs & Core, and two rounds of the Core Crusher.

Plank walkouts to Merkins (aka pirate pushups 🏴‍☠️) made several appearances throughout the morning, along with coupon rows, high pulls, reverse wood chops, goblet squats, sit-up presses, lunges, American hammers, flutter presses, and pullovers.

To close things out, we went with a little rifle carry punishment:

– 50-yard Rifle Carry
– 10 Blockees
– Big Bois

A few observations from the gloom:
– Pirate push-ups were a crowd pleaser.
– The dad rock soundtrack delivered
– The EMOM timer beep? Not nearly as popular. C

Apparently, it was Rockwell’s birthday. Thankfully, we didn’t learn that until after the workout. Several rounds of birthday burpees were narrowly avoided and have officially been saved for another day. That didn’t stop the PAX from delivering several inappropriate birthday wishes… Very inappropriate

COT
Prayers for those experiencing layoffs and for everyone navigating our brave new world in the workplace and at home. A lot of uncertainty out there, and it’s a good reminder that we don’t have to navigate it alone.

A few reminders:
– Get signed up for the F3 Waxhaw Christmas Party!
– Make time for 2nd F. Stick around for coffeteria and find opportunities to connect beyond the workout.

SYITG!
