F3 Greenwood

YHC has been stewing on this workout for some time. Bounced back and forth between a twisted #DeckOfDeath, taking a trip to #AMRAPCity or a nice #StringOfPearls. At about 10:30 p.m. last night, the decision was made – a difficult #StringOfPearls. So here’s how it went down:

Conditions

  • 42° and wet from last night’s rain. Perfect weather to post.

Disclaimer

  • I’m not a professional, but I want to see you push yourself. So do it. We don’t get up this early to cheat ourselves. (Shamelessly stolen from Dodger, who I think stole it from SubPrime, who probably stole it from someone else.)

Announcements

Prayer Requests

  • Snake Oil’s M seeing a rheumatologist
  • Smoky’s volunteer fire department with loss of charter members
  • YHC headed to MUSC for 2.0 to see specialist for vocal cord dysfunction.

BoM

  • Since we had an FNG, YHC reminded the PAX that F3 is open to men of any religion or no religion. Every workout ends with a ShoutOut. YHC is a Christian and offered a Christian prayer. YHC only asks that the PAX give him 30 seconds of respect. When you are the Q, the PAX will do the same for you. Aye.

NakedMan Moleskin

  • Meatloaf was in rare form from the get-go. After 50 SSH (his favorite exercise), he bet YHC wouldn’t do 50 LBACs. Oops. That was already on the #Weinke.
  • In the middle of the overhead claps, even Meatloaf begged for mercy, albeit for another one of the PAX – Sour – whose beautiful biceps have deteriorated over the course of his prolonged absence. #Kotters to you, Sour!
  • Speaking of #Kotters – Snake Oil made his second post this month, doubling his December output. Being the King of #EpsteinsMother, he blamed it on work then said he was on the road 100 days every year. Aye. But you didn’t exactly post 260 times last year. Next time, earn how to count before providing the PAX with #MumbleChatter ammo like that!
  • The Smoke-Dog made an appearance as well. He’s been gone far less time than the other two guys, but he has been missed. Good to have you back, Smoky!
  • Seriously, good to have both you guys back in the #Gloom. It’s been too long.
  • No one finished the manmaker-BBS complex. Even Meatloaf had grown wary at that point. And he pops #RedPills like candy. Must’ve done something right.
  • The moans and groans from one end of the line of PAX would have drawn some police assistance if anyone else had been at the Epicenter. Sounded like a cheap B movie shown late night on Cinemax.
  • Missed Thumper today. Refugee sold him out, though. Apparently, Thumper got himself a blister. Two problems with that excuse – 1) Midol is readily available at any convenience store or drug store, and 2) This is the dude who posted for the first time in 18° with no gloves for a coupon fest. Pull the string (Refugee’s words when he saw Thumper had not signed up for #TheAssault) and post, brother!
  • There is truly no bond better among friends than the ones we build in the gloom. We may disagree about a lot of things, but, at the end of the day, we are truly brothers and go out of our way to help each other. #TClaps to Mr.Bean and UncleJesse (Dalton?) for their help in securing an appointment for YHC’s 2.0 at MUSC. I hope I have an opportunity to repay a favor of this magnitude.
