Six Months In – from Steve

If you missed Granny’s this past Tuesday, then you missed the customary gifting of a cinderblock that happens after six months of posting. (That’s right, somehow Coachella has passed the six-month mark, though how that’s possible when YHC swears he just started two months ago is beyond me.)

Jose enlisted his junior high talented art class to hand paint one of our beloved coupons, trying their best to out-paint Waterpik and his tiger cinderblock. The result was a wild watercolor collage of some of Coachella’s favorite things: medieval plate armor, d10 dice, block blast, dead bears, and this cool matrix-like code covering the whole thing.

Shooter officiated the ceremony, unveiling the freshly painted block as Jose played one of his classics, the extended cut of “Jenny Says.”

Ok maybe that didn’t happen. But apparently, this IS a thing in F3 Houston. And since it was mentioned, and Coachella did indeed hit the six month mark, we offered one of our dirt-crusted coupons up in honor of his milestone. In all sincerity, it has been incredibly inspiring seeing Coach hit the type of consistency he’s had over the last few weeks. (Though, he’ll have to stencil that block on his own.)

Anyway, beatdown was as follows:

Grab a coupon, head to the stairs for some 11’s: Curls up top, squat thrusters down below, rifle carry the coupon up the stairs for each round.

After that we did some Lt. Dan’s down to the stage, where we knocked out some Sister Mary’s in cadence, as well as some merkins (and maybe some other stuff?), before heading back to the stairs for the second round of 11’s with the coupon:

Chest presses at the bottom, Alpos up top.

Finally, over to the new benches for some more leg work: Bulgarians, step downs, etc.

Finished with a quick run through of as many Mary exercises as we could squeeze into 4 minutes, and then on to COT, where Shooter prayed us out. Thank you gentlemen for the accountability and for the camaraderie- it means a lot. Also, looking forward to Russo’s return – I know Granny has missed her favorite Pax.
