It is written and so it shall be done

You never know what to expect when posting at #BoydLeeBeatdown. The workout could be dominated by weights, running, HIIT or endless variations of the 3. Although YHC likes to run, the plan for today’s workout came together without any running. I’m sure this is a first for any workout I’ve Q’ed. When the clock struck 0630 there was a good mix of #BLB regulars and a few new faces. As always, the primary focus when lifting at #BLB is using correct form, upping the weight will follow. After a brief warm-up, the first the WOD was explained, the pax chose their weight and the timer was set. It went like this:

Warm up: 15 SSH, 20-meter high step lunges

WOD: The Chief (20-minute AMRAP)

3 power cleans (80-115#), 6 Merkins, 9 Squats

WOD: Fat Amy (30 minute time cap) Pax finished together at approximately 27:00

50 air squats, 10 Burpees, 40 sit-ups, 10 Burpees, 30 lunges, 10 Burpees, 20 KB swings, 10 Burpees, 30-meter bear crawl, 10 Burpees, 20 KB Swings, 10 Burpees, 30 lunges, 10 Burpees, 40 sit-ups, 10 Burpees, 50 air squats.

Excellent effort by all Pax who crushed the two high rep WODs. Yes, burpees always suck but not as bad when done 10 at a time (80 total), right? It was sometime near the middle of the #FatAmy WOD that someone mentioned skipping the burpees, that’s when YHC responded by referencing the Weinke and saying, “it is written and so it shall be done”.  Based on the #mumblechatter for this workout I think the Pax had a good time and got a quality beatdown that will be felt for a day or two.

Prayer Request:

A friend of Mr. Belding’s daughter was in a wreck

Underdog mentioned the need for unity in our country, the need to love one another more and end divisiveness.

Psycho- new job opportunity

As I write this #backblast I have just learned of the passing of a participant in the GoRuck Heavy event this weekend at Fort Bragg. This is such a sad situation. The man looked to be a family man and leader in his community. He worked out and ran races like many of us in F3. He leaves behind a family including 2 children, Please keep the family of Jerome Gonzalez in your prayers.

Announcements: Camporee

Following the beatdown, the Pax gathered at chick filet for Coffeteria. Both the food and fellowship were great as always. We covered movies, restaurants, the month of NAG, baseball and Psycho shared some very interesting facts about his job. It was a great morning and if you didn’t have a similar experience where you posted (or at home in the fart sack), I highly recommend you post at Boyd Lee Park next Saturday morning at 0630.
