Not so gloomy

Leave a comment

4 strong 💪 for the beat down today. Weather was perfect once we started moving. About 99.999% of the country seems to be below freezing and without any power right now. A bit of this beatdown came courtesy of Kobayashi’s back blast from his visit a few years back. Only two remaining members of the Pax are qualifying for the February ‘tide pod challenge’ to post at all the beatdowns in February and Q twice. 4 more posts left in the month. Can they make it?

Warm up
Grady Corn
Shoulder Taps
Heal Raises
Sun Gods
SSH
Cherry Pickers

The Thang
Mosey to parking lot.
10 LBCs and bear crawl to do 10 rowers. Walk back, repeat reducing 1 each time. First person to 1 calls it for the pax.

Mosey… we did a little parkour at the boat ramp and then stopped for some Squats & Al Gores (in cadence.)

Mosey some more to wharf sea wall for some hand stands against the wall and planks. Then some wall sits and more planks.

A few minutes left and we strolled down the beach.

On the tipping point

Leave a comment

Challenge went out to the PAX to go to every beatdown in Feb. We have 3 still on track for that. We are hoping to grow F3 Monterey and I think we are on the tipping point. I have to give a presentation to a group which could easily double or triple our turnout. Trying hard to give it away and this could be the thing that reaches a lot more people.

The Thang:

Run to 25/ 50/ 25 /100 & back… 5 Groiner, high plank, low plank plank jack back to high plank

When the pax started to mosey we were all in awe when we saw the moon literally over Monterey. It was beautiful.
