Under threat of rain storm, F3 Spartan men welcomed YHC in force with a total of 15 PAX present including Kudzu in from F3 Jackson. These men have themselves a solid AO in Mountain Brook, AL. The PAX size was great for a little Wednesday morning deck of cards workout.

Warm-up
IC Imperial Walkers
IC Shoulder Rotations each way
IC Side Straddle Hop
IC Shoulder Taps
IC Bicycle Crunches
20 – SC Leg Lift Merkins

The Thang
The Rabbit led us into the Village where we setup right on one of the grassy islands of Petticoat Lane. With the shovel flag planted and the men circled up for all of the morning traffic to wonder at, we got it done…

DECK OF CARDS
Clubs – IC Raise the Roof
Diamonds – SC Merkins
Hearts – IC Side Straddle Hop
Spades – SC Prisoner Squats
Jokers – PAX Choice (I remember one of them…the canoe thing, followed by flutter kicks)

After 624 reps without breaks we mosey’d back to base. YHC’s original plan was to double the count on the all of the Prisoner Squats, but even pushing quickly through the deck (which we did), we were short on time.

Back at Mountain Brook Elementary School, we quietly (homes right across the street) used the brick wall to run out the clock with dips, decline merkins and pike presses.

Announcements (I can’t recall what they were…even my own announcements) were followed by Wildfire sending us off with a solid prayer. YHC did offer a few words of encouragement and advice to F3 Birmingham’s newest AO. In short: make the workouts hard, but make sure that you have fun out there too.

Thank you Spartans. I’ll be back soon.
