We talked alot about what F3 is and why it is awesome.  Talked about the other AOs, future for Collegedale and it proximity to the Battery and Beast Ridge. Hint Hint


Moleskin

Welcome Woody.  We had a hard time naming Woody because nobody wants to be too mean but not too nice either.  Michigan guy, so we went with Woody for Woody Hayes, OSU legend.  It was not because he showed up to the workout a bit excited, despite what rumors may come out.

    We warmed up sufficiently with a round robin pick yo poison

    The Thang

    Incorporated the 40 lb bags of Deer Corn this morning with a Dora of Incline Curb Mercans, Corn bag squats and a lap around the Stripper Mall.  Two teams of 3.

    Round 2 was not really a Dora.  Still two teams of 3, all 3 members lunging forward, one with the corn on their back.  We went about 20 yds, then switched the corn to a second teammate who lunged with the corn until the last corn toter ran a lap around the stripper mall.  Then handed off to the third member, second member ran his lap, etc.  Did this until we lapped the Stripper mall with lunges.  Kind of like a corn totin lungin injun run.

    Mosey across Talladega super speedway to the playground and mixed in some lat rows, swing assisted knee pull in ab exercises, pushes ups on Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo.  Mosey back to the flag for some pretzel crunches.  Time

      The Thang

      PAX divided into three groups, each containing a fair number of FNGs

      Prescription for Pain
      After meeting at the Combat Medic statue, PAX were each given a prescription with a specified “dose” of an exercise.  Short mosey between the stars as we advanced.  The exercises were cumulative i.e. 1 then 1 and 2 then 1, 2, and 3, etc.

      1 – 8 count Body builder

      2 – Alternating shoulder taps

      3 – burpees

      4 – 4 count flutter kicks

      5 – merkins

      6 – Froggy squats

      7 – 4 count LBCs

      8 – imperial walkers

      9 – 4 count SSH

      10 – squats


      Field Of Dreams (Q-TheCount)

      It’s the start of Baseball Season, so AO for Field Of Dreams was set up like the infield on a Baseball Field.  

      PAX counted off by fours and each proceeded to corresponding work station (Base) for start of circuit.

      First Base – (Squats / Lunges)

      Second Base – (Merkins / Plank Jacks)

      Third Base – (LBC’s / Flutter Kicks)

      Home Plate – Burpees

      All rotation controlled by PAX at Home Plate doing Burpees.  Once PAX complete 10 Burpees they sound off to All PAX “ROTATE”, where all PAX AYG to next base.  Home moves to First Base, First Base to Second Base, Second Base to Third Base, and Third Base to Home Plate. 

      At each Base PAX will perform AMRAP of one of the exercises at that location.  They will alternate the exercises on each rotation through that base. 

      Goal is to complete as many rotations around the bases as possible (at least 3-4) in allotted time.


      Across the Hacksaw Bridge (Q – Sidekick)

      *Divide into groups of three and line up:

      Pax 1: Sprint to third tree
      Pax 2: Overhead presses until sprinter returns
      Pax 3: Plank until sprinter returns

      *Last place team 5 burpees, next to last 4 burpees, next 3 burpees, and so on… winner = 0 burpees.

      Pax pair up in 2’s for a Dora: 150 merkins
