Motivators (down from 10)
Mosey to Randolph street between amphitheater and bridge
Thang 1 (Introduction to Every Minute on the Minute – EMOM)
3 stations – 1 at Randolph street; 2 at stairs down to amphitheater; 3 at South end of Quad
EMOM run to the next station; complete exercise at station 1 during first minute then run to next station, complete exercise, wait for minute to be up to run to next station, complete 5x (start at 1, then 2, then 3, then 2, then finish at 1); keep a running count the reps you don’t complete – didn’t have time to finish during the minute)
first exercise – complete 20 pushups at each station
second exercise – complete 5 burpees at each station
third exercise – complete 30 side straddle hops
Now that we’re nice and warm lets get out of the cold – mosey to the garage
Homer’s counting ability was called into question. MaryLou assured us that Homer has been learning how to count.
pick a partner – each pax owes the amount his partner didn’t complete of:
LBCs
X second leg hold
all complete 31 Freddy Mercurys in cadence
Thang 2 (EMOM 2)
EMOM run to the opposite end of the garage and complete 20 jump squats; count the jump squat reps you don’t complete; completed four minutes
As a group, missed 30 jump squat reps
As a group make up the 30 missed reps with 30 suicide segments – running to a pole is one segment (i.e. there and back is 2 segments); completed in 8 segment sets – first pole, back, second pole, back, third pole, back, fourth pole back; with one 6 segment set; suicides were timed and fortunately every suicide was quicker than the last so no need for extra segments
6 segment suicide took 40 seconds so completed a 40 second plank, clock stops when anybody’s knees touched the ground, so ultimately completed a 70 second plank
Cool Down
Mosey back to the Bean
Doomsday clock – reached 141

Welcome FNG Boucher! For surviving a brutal beatdown this morning you’ve earned a free lifetime nationwide membership to F3!
It was an honor to be given the privilege of Qin the first Saturday beatdown of the new decade. Everybody worked hard and showed tremendous effort today. It was great to have such a good turnout, especially a great mix of downtown and Oak Park guys. Great job everybody!
