Week 9 . . . already???

Hallo Füsters!

Somehow we are already upon our 9th and final week of the regularly scheduled Sömmer Kamp Füsting event. It doesn’t seem quite possible that June and July both evaporated so quickly from our collective timeline. For those who will be leaving us on Saturday, GG can only say thank you for joining and playing along. Ultimately this was a selfish endeavor on GG’s part, having failed miserably at Winterfüste this year due to travel and work, he desperately needed to right the ship and expunge some serious flank meat. And he’s happy to report that he has done just that and it’s all because you guys joined up to chaperone him through the last nine weeks! Thank you all for that generosity! Now, as I mentioned two weeks ago, GG will be continuing on with this event for one more month and finishing on August 31st. For those of you interested in this expansion pack, please declare your intent this week and then continue to report off as usual and the game will continue for four more weeks. This extra long Füste definitely will push the boundaries and will absolutely qualify as experimental. But GG is very interested to see what a prolonged Füste does to everyone (or at least those who are up for the challenge), both physically and mentally.

Couple items:

  • So the Special Kredit thing ended up being a bust. Many of you have accumulated a lot of SK without any notion of spending it on food or drink. And to that GG says, BRAVO! As of Saturday, whether you continue on or not, your Kredits will be transferred to punkte at a 3 to 1 exchange rate . . .

  • Finish strong (if you’re finishing), X3 daily:

    • 25 push-ups (on your knees push-ups are acceptable but your goal should be as many full blown push-ups as you can manage)

    • 50 sit-ups

    • 40 total forward lunges (20 on each leg)

    • 90 second wall-sit

    • One wall hand stand held for 60 sec (optional, only attempt this if you know you can hold a hand stand without injuring yourself . . . go here to understand how to get in the correct position: https://youtu.be/6YG9EE8J0VQ . . . ignore the first part of the video where she talks about make your body a perfect L shape and go to the second part where she show’s you how to kick up into a handstand).

    • 90 second plank (on forearms)

  • No fasting this week but expect it to pick back up as we move into August . . .

  • Don’t forget your bonuses . . . still a ton of bonuspunkte out there if you can remember what we’ve done during past Füstes. Good luck!

  • As there is no Gruppen play, there is no Finale Kompetition. But once we make it through August, GG will host a special dinner event to say thank you to everyone who played the short or long version of Sömmer Kamp this year. At this event we will recognize and reward both the Short and Long Version Überfüste and Bestenfüste. GG hopes to see you there, especially if you’re calling it a game this Saturday.

Alright everyone, that’s it for now. GG will communicate out one final audit request this week and then we’ll chat Friday on the eve of the short version Finalefüste. Finish strong and excellent work this Summer!

GG
