COT
YHC rolled out the #dumbocrat this gloom and if I knew better would have advised the PAX to shave last night. Don’t think I would have wanted to hold a razor anywhere near my throat this morning after that nonsense.
Why Dumbocrats? Easier to say than, weighted merkin partner derkins AND because the #dumbocrat is the only exercise in recent memory that had YHC considering dental plans and high deductibles courtesy of #obamadoesntcare Be smart and don’t be afraid to take a knee to get your head right when struggling to meet quota. I don’t feel bad about that at all.
Why 6 reps? Because they suck. YHC test drove execution w/ the M yesterday and reigned it back from 10. Pretty significant difference w/ her twigs planted on my back versus @Stoli’s tree trunks. Then you start stacking that junk and it gets awful quick. You’re welcome.
I’m very grateful for Chowder’s invite. Always a good idea to get outside your comfort zone and post w/ our F3 brothers in different AO’s.
YHC knew a handful of the PAX but please forgive if I miss on names — we all took turns showcasing our #6:14 skills at various stages on the AYG’s. Some notable performances from Stoli, Chowder and Frodo the Sandbagger.
Chowder, thanks again for the keys to the El Camino (what, it’s versatile) of F3 workouts.
As always, it’s an honor and pleasure to lead the fine men of F3.
Have a great week, brothers.
Ps @Metro’s MM See BB above for excused absence #epsteinsmother

@Fishwarp – thanks for the Q north of 7th street. I would call that #Merkinmania brother even though I had @Frodo on my back. The #ChuckNorris Merkins had be questioning my healthcare plan with Anthem especially with the current breach of customer data.
@Frodo – I think the only words out of our #pieholes this morning were, “you going first”?
My 5 o’clock shadow appeared at noon today… #Cobains to the Concord-reppin’ @LoveAngel for all of it. I carry this 12 (2 x 6) around all the time and wouldn’t wish it on another PAX even for 6o minutes. Way to keep after it today brother.
Air Tclaps to @TheWrap for that monstrosity and changing things up on us. Kept us constantly guessing when it would finally end… Please excuse typos as I type this with my nose.
@Fishwrap – Thanks for making the trip and Qing! Very rarely after a workout will I pull a @Pavarotti and take a quick cat nap before work, but today I seriously considered putting a movie on for the kids and climbing back into bed post workout for a recovery hour or two. #Idontfeeltardy
I resisted the bed and got the kids to school on time, but I did recline the car seat for 22 minutes in my work parking lot. #smoked
@SSMinnow – Thanks for partnering with me today, and thanks for being one of the lighter pax. #Frodowouldbemy2ndchoice
@Fishwrap, really appreciate you traveling to MECA and Q’ing our beatdown. Loved/hated every minute of it.
Glad my trunks made the derkins more painful. Knew they were good for something.
@Fishwrap – that was a really intense workout…learned some tough new moves, thanks for coming out
$Skipper…enjoyed the partnering too…..thanks for the push on the wheelbarrows up the steps….never would have made without it
So how do you do a dumbocrat?
It’s a partner derkin except…?
You do merkins in the weighted position also, then switch. We did 7 rounds w/ hill work and would add on each round. Round 3 – 4 to your hurtin’.
Speechless(so I’ll write it instead) – absolutely shredded.
@Chowder & others thanks for the encouragement. Always awesome to get some of that El Dorado motivation to rub off on me.
@FishWrap – thanks for the unforgettable beat down and for the closing prayer.
I don’t know if “fun” is the right word for it, but I definitely enjoyed it. I appreciate the comments and feedback. Looking forward to posting w/ MECA again soon and hope you fellas make it a #clowncar to MM w/ Chowder on 2/23.
