Thanks for the opportunity to lead this AM. Always a pleasure to work out with the men of Skywalker!  Great push by all this AM. There were definitely some tired legs out this AM including yours truly, but great way to push through and end the week on a High Note!  So if any one is curious as to the title of the back blast.. just click here. Enough said!  We might want to adapt and start using @Skippers official “Merikan” version.

Special prayers for Man Down… and @Hardings friends little girl who is fighting for her life today and needs a miracle today.

Make it a great day men.

    Always an honor. Great push by all!

    Thanks for the great Q. Adding 2 to the posted list: Mr McFeely, Dr Seuss.

    The other 2 guys:

    I think one was named Ivan (his F3 name was much harder to remember.. something Drogan?)
    and perhaps Sparky for the 4th

    Was going to try for a 6 pack but with the way walking up and down stairs feels right now… thinking to take the weekend as a break and hit it again on Monday.

      Great to see you back over leading the charge in Skywalker and bringing a new exercise to destroy our bodies (first quadraphelia and now reverse burpees).

      I want to apologize to all pax who attend any workout I lead in the future, bc just like buddy the elf, “I am going to make reverse burpees my new favorite”…the blame for this really belongs to Google for introducing it and Grinder / Tugboat for calling me out during my rediculous attempts this morning. Practice makes perfect men!!!

      Ivan Drago (from Rocky) is who you were thinking of BTW

        Hey, I struggled with those eepurubs too (yep, just renamed it). Next week we’ll do 45 minutes of just quadraphilia, eepurbs, and muscle ups… gotta keep doing some muscle ups.

    Thanks for the lead today Google! That was a great mix of cardio and strength. It’s safe to say that most of us need some more practice on that reverse burpee… that was ugly.

    It was good meeting Mr McFeely and Dr Suess today. It sounds like the Dr. is off to a heck of a start in his F3 career. Way to go brother!

    @Google – “Merkin” – Yikes

    I gotta know about these eepurubs!
