12/09/2020 - Black Panther - Never miss a delivery


Introduction

Few weeks ago, Lewinsky was talking about Black Panther and how everyone shouldn’t forget about it. He’s right it is an AO that has a ton to offer the regular PAX that attend are great dudes. They’ve had some amazing growth with some fantastic newer guys, so YHC secretly accepted the challenge. Onto the Q sheet to find an available date and right there it was, 12/9/20 with Brick as the Site Q. Brick was there at a ton of my early post during my adolescent days of F3, but its been a minute since we have posted together. Sold, signed up!

Yesterday the plan started rattling in the old noggin. Noticed coupon work had been a good focus of recent Qs as well as music. Wanted to challenge to utilize as much of the AO as possible in 45 minutes, so the extra baggage was discarded from the PreBlast. However, weighted vest was encouraged mainly because it has been a minute since YHC has utilized the investment…time to dust it off.

HCs were rolling in early and there were heavy hitters piling up. Uncle Rico through out the EC challenge without officially HC’ing. Wide Right and YHC hoped onboard and lucky for us Uncle Rico ended up HC’ing from the BP parking lot for our 4:50 departure.

During the EC run UR put a devil on the shoulder of the Q. At no point was THANG 1 in the plan. However, that little voice was there only to be echoed by Boxcutter and Blues Clues during the warm o rama mosey.

Now here is the rest of the story…

Warm-O-Rama

Neck rolls x10 each side-its kinda my thing now I guess

Arm circles forward/backward x10 IC

Goofballs-15 IC-been a minute so I threw this in there

Good Morning-10 IC Slowwwwwwwww

Mosey around the parking lot and onto the trail-Boxcutter mentions sand…

The Thang

Thang 1-Sand Volleyball/Basketball

2 rows of PAX line up at the sand volleyball pit. Bear crawl to the post and then flip to a crab walk. There were grumblers.

Moseyed to the basketball court. For those that have yet to go to BP there are two courts side by side. Started on the left most court and instructed the PAX just to follow the lead of the guy in front of them. We kept a single line and Snaked our way around both courts.

Court 1 Start in one corner run base line to free throw and shuffle all the way to the other sideline, then run to mid court and shuffle to other sideline. Continue to the baseline at the other side of the court and shuffle all the way to the opposite corner on the other court.

Court 2-Reverse snake, so you are backpeddling now instead of running forward. Once complete we kept a single file line and slowseyd until the 6 was in toward the path. Once on the path we picked up pace and cut across the field behind the baseball fields making our way to parking lot for those fields.

Thang 2-Parking Lot

Started with SSH IC to 20

During Veterans Day week Hootie had a Q when he talked about suicide rates for veterans. Also, Rusty has mentioned finding those that need F3 and getting them out here along with Urkel and Aladdin’s challenge for FNGs. This next thang is designed to think of those 18-22 veterans who will die by their own hand today and dig deep to acknowledge we can do more for them.

Merkins for Veterans-20 is the number used 4 sets of 5 Merkin reps where we hold the bottom for 4 seconds. Transition between sets is done with a plank

1st Merkins-Regular Merkins x5 each rep 4 second hold at bottom where your chest is hovering the ground.

2nd Merkins-Chuck Norris x5 each rep 4 second hold at bottom where your chest is hovering the ground.

3rd Merkins-Hand Release Merkins x5 each rep 4 second Superman hold at the bottom.

4th Merkins- Regular Merkins x5 each rep 4 second hold at bottom where your chest is hovering the ground.

Mosey’d to the baseball field

Thang 3

Warning Track Run-PAX line up by the grass facing the fence and do Moroccan Nightclubs. PAX that is on the 3rd base line sprints along the warning track to the end of the line and joins in the exercise. Next PAX begins to run when the starter passes the 5th PAX, this is continued for 2 sprints on this group which took us 7 guys down the 1st base line from the warning track.

Headed to the diamond

7 of Diamonds leg addition-PAX divided among the 4 bases. Instructed each round =same exercise/same rep count at each base. When you reach your starting point you move to the next round

7-Jump Squats-confusion happened because I called Air Squats but was doing Jump Squats but the locals settled down after a bit.

14-Bonnie Blairs

21-Monkey Humpers

28-Calf Raises-The burn was felt

Asked Milton best route to the hill, which YHC completely ignored, went left when he said right, but luckily he quickly corrected.

Thang 4-The hill

Asked the PAX to give me 1 more push. AYG-All you got to the top of the hill. Divided into 3 groups and ran.

Mosey to the flags.

COT

Prayers for Handy Manny’s Uncle and Neighbor who both recently passed. Also prayers to Diesel as he is recovering from illness.

At work we are currently going through a “commercial transformation” where we are helping our dealers pivot the way they lead, manage and ultimately sell our product. Typically, YHC is not fully engaged in these sorts of things, mainly implementation typically doesn’t happen and these just disappear. This one is sticking a little more than usual.

One of the study items they provided was a link to the TED talk given by Simon Sinek in 2009 titled “Start with why-how great leaders inspire action.” This spoke to me and instead of butchering his talk I welcome each out to watch the video posted in this thread.

Naked Man Moleskin

I am truly honored and humbled each time I Q for the PAX of Naperville. We are an amazing group and each of you are helping me to become better, so thank you.

Rumor has it there may be another hat thrown into this Saturday’s AO PAX count ring. This HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT could tip the scales not to Aladdin, not to Appletini, but to………………….
