Too early for the mojo

PAX: , , , , ,

YHC first Q at Disney, after a challenge laid down by UTI. Always good to spread out the misery. I’m in!

FNGs: none
Warm Up: warm-o-rama, the usual stretching and arm waving
The Workout: Fellowship mosey to the high school parking lot. Start with a means of travel and exercises at each parking row to the end of the lot. Then suicide mosey back. The rounds included: lunge walk and lunge hop, suicides, Frankensteins and squats, suicides, crab walk and crab cakes, suicides, duck walk and star jumps. Indian run back to the parking lot.
Mary: Wheel of misfortune, one PAX in the middle doing 10 burpees as the timer. Other PAX rotate around the circle doing core stations. 3 rounds. Finished with some light stretching of the inner man meat. Too much groaning in the dark for my taste.
Announcements: no big events coming up. Merry Christmas!
T-Claps (Recognition): All PAX for getting out of your warm bed.
Prayer: Reach out to friends and family, school violence prayers for students, Gamecocks wife and her exam

PAX: @Cornholio, @Banana Seat, @Finkle, @Florence/Flojoe, @Pots
Warm Up: Mosey around the parking lot with butt-kickers, high-knees, and crossovers
The Workout:

Event 1: Poles on the baseball field.  We focused on the number 150 this morning.

5 stations and 30 reps of prescribed exercises, BTW, Dips, Squat Jumps, Star Jumps, shoulder taps

mode of transportation was sprints, bear crawls, lunge walks, and jog

Event 2: 150 Doras

broke into 2 teams and one team was the timer and other team did exercises.  Since we had 3 on a team, each Pax was responsible for 50 in cadence of each exercise. Mountain Climbers, LBC’s and Merkins

Leftovers: we finished a little early so we did wall sits and plank holds with a ten count from each PAX 2x. This one created a little mumblechatter as we counted to ten in various ways and @Banana Seat forgot how to count to 10…
Mary: American Hammers, Homer to Marge, Pickle Pounders, J-lo’s, Monkey humpers

Warm Up: SSH, Windmills, Hillbillies / Imperial Walkers, Sir Fozio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, 5 burpees OYO for late PAX
The Workout: YHC is all about functional exercises, stuff that can come in handy day-to-day. While we may not see any combat in our daily routines, the Army Combat Fitness Test‘s recommended exercises will surely lead to better results when playing with the kids or tackling that honey-do list. I picked out a few and modified them to make them more F3 Southwake-friendly.

Round 1
Lunges (10 in cadence)

Moleskin: I slacked off a bit last week. I’m sure I’m not the only one that has a hard time getting back into the swing of things after a few days off. So this week, my mantra has been “just show up.” If you show up, you’ll put in the work. But showing up is sometimes the hardest part. So it started with putting both feet on the floor in the morning. Fight that fart sack.

Day 2: 5 Days of Fankle, The Mystery and History of Ray Finkle

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , ,

FNGs: none

PAX: @Sunshine, @Pumps, @Pots, @Finkle, @Martini, @Florence/FloJoe, @Bobby Boucher, @Warbucks
Warm Up: Mosey around the park track then circled up for 10 SSH, Daisy Pickers, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio Arm Circles f/b and Michael Phelps in cadence.
The Workout: First event was 4 corners in the parking lot and at each corner YHC shared historical facts about the real Ray Finkle aka Uwe Detlef Walter von Schamann.  As usual Hollywood has twisted the facts about this fictional character.  After a deep dive into the history of this modern day marvel “Finkle” we find a true champion and a culprit!  Back to the workout…

At each corner we did a prescribed exercise.  Round 1 was 4X4’s (4 burpees into plank then 4 merkins, 4 mountain climbers, and back up), lunges – 10 each leg, alternating shoulder taps in cadence to 10 and ending with Bobby Hurleys.  Round 2 was Boat Canoes, Crab cakes, Jack Webbs (set of 4), and star jumps.

2nd event was getting personal under our newly rehab’d pavilion.  We did 2 sets of gyno-crunches, procto-derkins, and step-ups 10 each side.

3rd event was California Rolls down at the wall.  We did sets of 10 Irkens and dips R/R till we reached the end of the wall.

Finkle Facts: 

  1. In the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective the character Ray Finkle is in reality Dolphins kicker Uwe von Schamann.
  2. Uwe Detlef Walter von Schamann (born April 23, 1956) is a former professional American football placekicker.  He played for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League, from 1979 to 1984.
  3. In the real Super Bowl XIX, Von Schamann made three field goals and an extra point in this game.
  4. In the movie Finkle missed the game-winning field goal in a fictional Super Bowl XIX. The latter play actually occurred six years later in Super Bowl XXV by the Buffalo Bills kicker Scott Allen Norwood.  The real culprit…
  5. Norwood’s field goal range was unusually short for a professional kicker and he had difficulties in converting field goals over 40 yards throughout his career, especially on natural grass (the Bills’ home stadium used AstroTurf, which mitigated this issue).
  6. Super Bowl XXV, which was played on January 27, 1991, cemented Norwood’s name in football history when he missed a 47-yard field goal attempt with 8 seconds left in the game, giving the New York Giants their 2nd Super Bowl victory, and started the Bills’ string of four consecutive Super Bowl losses. This kick was made famous by the “wide right” call by the TV announcers. Later video analysis revealed the holder mistakenly aligned the laces to the right, thereby positioning the kicked ball to fade right once in the air.  Hmmm…interesting…Although the Bills signed Björn Nittmo as Norwood’s potential replacement in the 1991 offseason, Norwood remained with the Bills through that season. The Bills returned to the Super Bowl and Norwood was perfect throughout the postseason, including a 44-yard field goal that served as the decisive margin in the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos.
  7. What was the dolphin’s name in the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Movie? Snowflake
  8. What was Ray Finkle’s other name in the movie? Lois Einhorn
  9. Who did Ray Finkle murder in the movie? Roger Podacter, the Dolphin’s head of operations.
  10. The name of the mental hospital that Ray Finkle escaped from was named Shady Acres Mental Hospital.
  11. The mental hospital where Ventura goes undercover was named Shady Acres as a play on the name of director Tom Shadyac.

Mary: We did round-robin style with a mixture of abs, stretches, squats and the Sweater Fox (Boxcutters) decided to show up again to torture @Warbucks…
Announcements: CSAUP on Saturday, December 11
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: @Bobby Boucher’s M is looking for a new employment opportunity, @Farva’s back injury, @K I T T Y L I T T R and M recovering from sickness.  Remember those who need hope during the Christmas season.  Be the salt and light our community needs fellas!
