Early Game of the Doubleheader

THE SCENE:
Like the Morg, only earlier.  I made an offhand comment last night on Slack that people should come post at Blue Collar and then stick around for Shoestring’s Q at the Morg immediately after.  I didn’t think anyone would be stupid enough to actually do it.  Then Upgrade HC’d.  Then this morning as I pulled into the parking lot, I saw Shoe roll up right after me.  Too late now; I made my bed and would have to lie in it.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
Check.

WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH x20 IC
Hillbillies x15 IC 
Windmills x15 IC
Arm Circles x10 IC each direction

THA-THANG:
DirtyRuckDeuce
4 sets of 3 exercises, with each exercise being 12 4-count reps.  Each set ended with a 1/2 mile ruck.  Each set consisted of one chest, one core, and one leg exercise (all either wearing or holding rucks).

Set 1:  Merkins, BBSU, Squats.
Set 2:  Carolina Dry Docs, Imperial Squat Walkers, Flutter Kicks.
Set 3: Overhead Ruck Press, Monkey Humpers, Hello Dollys.
Set 4: Ruck Curls, Tempo Squats, Ruck-to-Shoestrings.

Last two movements were shortened a bit, or we would not have made it back in time for the  2nd half of the doubleheader.

MARY:
Sprinkled throughout.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 PAX:  BAM!, Birds Are Real, Choker (QIC), Dawson, Farmer, O’Reilly, Shoelaces, Upgrade

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have learned this year that F3 works best for me when I have a specific goal or challenge to work on.  During the Equinox challenge and the Biggest Loser challenges, I found myself pushing harder and posting on days I wouldn’t have otherwise posted.  In between those challenges, I noticed myself slacking off a bit.  

Set a goal that stretches you past your normal routine.  Write it down and measure it as you go.  If you’re not moving forward, you’re falling back.

MOLESKIN:
If you’re going to post twice back-to-back, don’t do it when Shoestring is the 2nd Q.

Rucked Monkey Humpers suck.
