My history may be a little off, but if I remember correctly, Whipping Stick is where it all started for F3 Foothills and was once the crown jewel of F3 Foothills. Which brings me to the title of the backblast. Whipping Stick may have lost some of its luster with less participation as in the past, but still, she’s a beaut Clark. It’s a great time – lots of mumble chatter, great location, plenty of options to do for workout. Also, you never know when your number is going to be called to do a portion of the workout, so it’s good to see everyone operate on the fly. To top it off, fellowship with BEC’s from Homer’s and coffee bus coffee around a fire pit on these cold wintry mornings.
Speaking on not knowing when your number is going to be called, Tooth Fairy called me out for the warmup. Little did he know that I would hijack the whole thing.
Warmup consisted of SSH, ATT, Humpies, Merkins, and a lap around the parking lot.
Then we went down the stairs for some ladder work. At the bottom of the stairs, 10 merkins, up the stairs to the top for 1 WWII situps, then down the stairs for 9 merkins and back up the stairs for 2 WWII situps and so on til everyone was done. At the end of this, who do we see but 2 glorious runners coming to the group. Cousin Eddie and Crosstitch decided to make an appearance. They joined us for wall sits with wonder bras, wall sits with muhammad ali’s, donkey kicks, and balls to the wall in the corridor to the school entrance. YHC then led everyone to the back parking lot for a bear crawl/lunge walk combination down the parking lot. Since this was Crosstitch’s first Whipping Stick, we had to show him the “artwork” on the bench. We went to the benches for step ups, one leg squats, incline and decline merkins. This was followed by 5 burpees and a 5 count Asheville Abs. We had about 7 minutes left so we hit the pull up tree for pull ups and chin ups and ran back to the flag.
WOD/COT by Tooth Fairy and on to the best 2nd F around.
Whipping Stick is – Free, Open to all men, held outside (even in the cold), peer led (usually shared by some/all in attendance), and ends with a COT. If you show, you’re almost always guaranteed a BEC and coffee. She’s still a beaut and always ready for more men to post!
