Adding Consecutive Burpees

 

QIC:  Fissure
Date: 05/10/2018
PAX: Ringwald, Picasso, Angus, Flemish, Ohms, Ducktales, Sidekick, Speed Bump, The Count (Respect)
AO: Hill City

Conditions

The Thang

Mosey from the vicinity of the Blue Rhino to walking bridge
Commence 20 x Squats IC, 10 x Lunges IC at the beginning, middle and end of the bridge, mosey in between
Mosey to the steps at Ross’s Landing
Commence consecutive burpees starting with 10 on down to 1 with box jumps up the steps in between.  Some used step ups in place of box jumps for modification or incline merkins and dips on the bottom step.
Mosey back to the Blue Rhino
MOM consisted of wheel barrows around the blue rhino.  Switch after each loop until time called.

Moleskin

A couple dedicated PAX grumbled about their sore legs as this week has been pretty leg heavy.  YHC felt a little bad having to miss The Griff yesterday but it appears the grumbling was warranted after the leg thrashing administered by Picasso.
There was further mumble chatter about shortcuts to adding up how many burpees we enjoyed today.  Here’s an informative link to adding consecutive numbers, http://math.wikia.com/wiki/Adding_Consecutive_Numbers, and we did 55.  You’re welcome.
The word of the day was Generosity.  It’s important to give of yourself – to your family, friends, job, etc.  This is modeled at every workout when the Q puts time into the beat down we all enjoy.  It was noted that the best motivation to show up is knowing your friends will be there to help make us all better.

The Thang

YHC decided a smartsack was much needed but alas, HCs were there and no man should stand under the lamp post alone.  However, with some injury, YHC decided to invoke the “unofficial AO” rule and call an audible to bootcamp.  We decided to do something a bit different…
Any Pax involved in the Cam Run last year knows about Cameron Bean, his story, and the machine he was.  His lived by the creedos/mottos “Just Go for a Run” and “Do You Want to be Good or Do You Want to be Great?!”

Back to the Park. Mosey Laps. At the completion of each lap do the following exercises

YHC was very appreciative of all the Pax that attended this morning.  As we are taking flight at The Huey, we currently only have a single consistent Q.  The body needs rest, but the will to help others often overcomes the fartsack or smartsack as was the case today.  Therefore, we did some recovery running and core work.  Thanks to the men that stay committed.

We live in a busy world. Every now and then, it is good and healthy to checkout from the world and do nothing. This should not be misconstrued as being lazy, but simply taking time to get back to normalcy and focus on what is important.

COP

Seal Jacks, IW, PP w/ Merkin (5 IC), High plank, Side plank/side plank, Hillbillies, ST Merkins
* All IC x 11 unless otherwise noted

The Thang

YHC felt like spreading it around this morning and creating a number of challenges with variety instead of a straightforward punch-in-the-mouth. As a result, the Pax completed a variety of F3 staples with care and alarm.
Merkin Mile
10 OYO merkins for every .25 mile
11s
Instead of the usual increment/decrement routine, we just did two exercises at top/bottom of the corner hill.  Each of the pax got a chance to call out two exercises for the Pax to perform 11 reps each.
1 – Merkins/Squats (Pro)
2 – Plank/Lunges (Pro)
3 – Spartan Abs/Pickle Pounders (Sidekick)
4 – Merkins/Squats (Angus)
5 – Froggy Squats/LBC (Whittler)
6 – Crab cakes/BBSU (Speedbump)
7 – Reverse Lunges/??? (Early Bird)
*mosey to concrete steps
5-7s
For the date – May 7th (5-7) – we did alternating 5s and 7s
5 incline merkins
7 box jump
5 decline merkins
7 BBSU
* Repeat x 3

Whittler’s <@f3whittler> comment about doing BBSU’s up an incline made for a great workout title. And very appropriate food for thought. Here’s how it went down…
Sidekick <@mattgt5> noticed, “Whittler is doing the BBSUs up the hill.”
To which, Whittler replied, “Life is uphill.”
Indeed it is.  Well played, sir!

50 yards of Mary
* Pax line up at the end point of the stairs and face the full length of the field ~100 yards. Each 50 yards were completed together. As the early Pax waited on the six, they planked or did pistol LBCs.
– Bear Crawl 50 yards
– Duck Walk 50 yards (turn around)
– Bear Crawl 50 yards
– Lunge 50 yards
*Time was starting to close in on us….

Merkin Wave
* Pax form a circle and increment one merkin per each revolution
We made it 5 rounds of Merkins until endex

The Thang

Today we tried out the Three Ring Circus.  Something new to provide a little competition in the group and hopefully build some burst and lung function
Title of exercises or routine
Break up into teams of 3, we had 11 so one team of 2.  3 stations within each team:
Block Curls, Plank and Sprint.  Sprint is roughly 40 yds down and 40 yds back.  I left my yardage wheel in my other compression shorts so work with me here.  The circus goes like this: One guy sprints while one guy knocks out 10 curls and the third holds plank. When the sprinter is back, the block drops and PAX takes off.  Plank goes to block, sprinter goes to Plank.  Repeat until all 3 PAX have completed all three stations.  Winning team holds Al Gore, 2nd Place (1st loser (Ricky Bobby)) gets 4 burpees, 3rd place (2nd loser) gets 8 burpees, and 4th Place (Rhino’s tail) gets 12 Burpees.
We completed 4 cycles of this and redrafted teams each round with 4th choosing first.  The fourth round due to intense pain I audibled to 3-6-9 burpees for the losers.
I have to commend the speed of the PAX. The group really pushed themselves and tried to win the race.  Everybody left it on the field (coach cliche’).
After 4 cycles, I opted for a Frankenstein walk with some Yoga mixed in to keep from falling out in front of my friends.  But I have to say, for a fat guy I held my own in the sprints.
After the Yoga we mosey walked to the parking lot and had time to knock out about 15 Block Worms a piece.
Wrapped up with some American Hammers, Crunchy Frogs, LBC, Flutter Kicks and Box cutters, all IC X 15
Mosey to Flag

Moleskin

Wanted to sue the workout as an example of how pushing our own limits can lift up others.  By performing above our expectations at home, at work, in church and in our communities, we lift the performance of others.  Never be the Anchor, be the beacon that shows the way.

Sweat Angels in the Prison Yard

QIC: Mr. Clean
Date: 05/03/2018
PAX: Ducktales
AO: The Huey

Conditions

Partly cloudy. 61 degrees. Very early stages of the Waning Gibbous.  The moon was beautiful and smiling down on the men of F3.

The Thang

YHC was not looking for a catchy title but apparently planned a beat down that inspired one from fellow, hard working Pax, Duck Tails.  So, to the “Prison Yard” it was
Prison Yard
Station One
Pax 1 mosey to the first light pole, sprinted to the next, and moseyed to the 3rd light pole, completed 5 BBSU, and returned to Pax with the same procedure.
Pax 2 completed rotor pulls over the swing set bar until Pax 1 returned.  (To my Griff Pax yesterday, the friction is indeed real and made a huge difference today).
Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat until 15 BBSU were completed.
 
Station 2
Pax 1 mosey to the first light pole, sprinted to the next, and moseyed to the 3rd light pole, completed 5 BBSU, and returned to Pax with the same procedure.
Pax 2 completed a 5 shrug/5 shoulder press combo with coupons until Pax 1 returned.
Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat until 15 BBSU were completed.
 
Station 3
Pax 1 mosey to the first light pole, sprinted to the next, and moseyed to the 3rd light pole, completed 5 BBSU, and returned to Pax with the same procedure.
Pax 2 completed “15s” or curl sets consisting of 5 half way up, 5 half way down, and 5 full, concentration curls until Pax 1 returned.
Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat until 15 BBSU were completed.
 
Mosey back to the Startex.  Hold plank, in cadence (led by Duck Tails), until time was called….(exercises completed with coupons on our backs)

Moleskin

When YHC gives a moleskin the inspiration usually develops from a Biblical inspiration or something revolving around love/commitment.  Today’s moleskin comes from more inspiration revolving around commitment.
First, be committed to the task at hand, and if you cannot be committed, then be a man and admit it.  Excuses are not necessary (too busy, family time, early, distance, zealots in the group, “I can’t just quit the gym etc..), but show respect to those around you by admitting you’re overloaded and dial it back.  This “being a man” about it is MUCH more respectful than leaving cliff hangers as to whether you will attend the Gloom.
Second, if in life you have priorities that are very important to you (for YHC it goes: God, Family, Friends/Job, and F3).  F3 makes me better, makes me stronger, makes me more confident, and helps with my accountability but will NEVER take precedence over the first three priorities.
ALL THAT being said: if you have an opportunity in your life, such as F3, it makes you better, and does not negatively affect those main priorities, then why not give it a shot and/or return to the Gloom on a regular basis.
Lastly, my greatest hope for this Moleskin is that; I am not “preaching to the choir”.  YHC hopes some man, built for leadership reads this and thinks “good point, I’ll see you in the Gloom with a Down Painment”

The Thang

YHC arrived early for a little setup with VERY high hopes and prepared the first exercise for 7-9 guys.  Well, audibles are quite acceptable in F3 and with the help of Sidekick, an audible was indeed called.
Bear-i-cides & Plain Ole Vanilla Suicides
Bear – i – cides – Pax carried a rock (which became two rocks after the audible) while bear crawling for 5 – 10 yard suicides.
Vanilla Suicides – Pax carried rocks for 5 – 20 yard suicides.
Pax then shifted to the swing set where we conveniently found rotors on the ground, rope attached to them which was thrown over the swing set bar…we had found ourselves a couple of lat pull-down stations, F3 style.
Lats and LaterALs
Pax did the following: Partner 1 held a squat while completing lateral raises. Partner 2 completed 3 lat pulldowns. Flapjack. Rinse and repeat 9 times for a total of 27 reps.
(Lat Pulldown Disclaimer – These were not Planet Fitness lat pull-downs but F3 style “pulldowns”.  Mumblechatter was also evident as we discussed friction, rotors vs. drums, cotton vs. nylon rope, and the degree of difficulty difference between the two stations.  There was also POOOSSSIBLLYYY discussion about the distinct advantage Sidekick and YHC has over Ohms for this particular activity ie..meat on dem bones)
BOjangles Biscuits
Straight from the Lexicon with some flare.  Pax moseyed over to the track at the football field.
Lap 1 – Sausage – Meat – Merkins – 20 Reps
Lap 2 – Ham – Bacon – Big Boy Sit-Ups – 20 Reps
Lap 3 – BoBerry/Cinamon – Diabetes – Dolly – 20 Reps IC
Lap 4 – Finish Strong
Mosey back to the parking lot at the playground.  Pax finished with a healthy dose of Captain Planet Merkins. (Think: Shake and Bake Merkins with 3 people.)

Moleskin

In depth moleskin planned…audible again.  Thanks to a current AOQ and possible future AOQ for knowing and Showing commitment. Ohms and Sidekick — WELL DONE!

Hole 2: Burpee OYO 2, Duck Walk to basket, Flutter Kick IC 15x
Hole 3: Burpee OYO 3, (And The Count realized he has dropped his key somewhere between Hole 2 Basket and Hole 3 tee pad. Next exercise search for The Count’s car key. After some searching we were able to locate his key near the Hole 2 Basket)
Time was running low so we started to mosey back to the shovel flag with some stops on the way.
Stop 1:
Merkins IC 5x
Stop 2:
YHC doesn’t recall the exact exercise performed but it was probably something along the lines of:

WOD: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance – Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
This weekend I went to my parents in AL and had a lot stuff planned with my family and to catch up with old friends but as soon as I got to my parents home I found out we were attending a funeral on Saturday that changed all my plans. At the funeral it was nice being with loved ones and taking the time to show our respect. It gave me time to put things in prospective and to enjoy the moment. We tend to live life from one event to the next rarely taking time to reflect on what we just accomplished. Just know that there is a season for everything and that its ok to take time for yourself and family.
