PAX: , , , , , ,

FNGs: None

Warm Up: slide straddle hops, good mornings, willie mays hayes, sir fazio arm circles, seal claps

The Workout: Moseyed on over to the Greenway Parking Lot to do something I am retrospectively choosing to call, “Build-a-Cocaine-Bear.” Zig-zagging up and down the parking lot, we did bear crawls along each parking space line; skips across the lot; bear crawl over to the next parking space line; reverse burpee (starting from bear crawl mode – 1 merkin, jump up, then back to bear crawl) once up against each parking space curb; back to bear crawl from the curb to the end of the parking space line; skip again across the lot. We did this until we got from the farthest NW side of the lot down to the SE side.

Next, we did 11s of american hammers on one side of the lot and curbside merkins on the other side. Lunges going one way and crab walk going back.

Trick-or-Treat Mutiny

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

NOTE: Excuse me….posting late for 10/31/2022 Mutiny. Crazy work week.

FNGs: None

EC: Breach (in his Orange skeleton costume) and YHC (in my Fuquay Mafia get-up) ran 1.5 miles after first plotting some mischief.

Warm Up: Slide Straddles, Good Mornings, Imperials, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, 5 burpees for a Warbucks late arrival

The Workout: For the Trick portion, YHC asked each PAX to walk bravely into the woods to find a piece of candy. Warbucks, being late to the AO and looking especially tired, was chosen as the 1st PAX to brave the woods. Unbeknownst to Warbucks, there was an orange skeleton :skull: (that looked a lot like Breach) waiting in those woods just to put the fear of God into him! Warbucks’ response was a instant Mutiny Classic and gave us all a good laugh before the remaining PAX had to brave the woods as well (with less risk of skeleton attacks). While each PAX went into the woods, the rest of us did some Merkins and squats. Once out of the woods, we’d run over to some tables for step-ups and dips before heading back over to the woods.
Treat time was a fun game of catch and throw with the football. PAX were asked to run long for a big throw. Candy for catches, burpees for drops, curls for the girls and big boy sit-ups no matter what… we did a lot of burpees!

Mary:with little time left, we did low slow flutters until our time was up and body exhausted.

Announcements: None

T-Claps (Recognition): None

Prayer: unspoken prayers and thankfulness

No Frills Mutinizing to start the week

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

Warm Up:   FRAM and Sunshine for EC.  SSH, Good morning, Daisy pickers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio, Seal claps

The Workout:  Had I consulted my calendar, which had me running 22 miles just two days ago, I wouldn’t have signed up to Q today.  But I didn’t, so I did. 

Then in a very adult manner of dealing with life, I tried to ignore it, hoping it would go away, so I could get another day of rest.  But it didn’t, so I couldn’t. 

So, up & at ’em.  Having only a vague template in my head of what to do, I, as Sprinkler so succinctly foretold “bullshitted my way through this workout”, and it formed into this:

7’s on the “hill” of burpees and squats.  That was it for legs.  After that we just ran around in a disorderly pattern, making periodic stops for sets of non-leg exercises.   Dips on the picnic tables, WWIIs, merkins, balls to the wall, Carolina Dry Docks.  

We got in at least three sets of each (I think), with variations of merkins (derkins on the bleachers, diamond & wide grip) and dips (alternating raised leg), but did get 4 sets of WWIIs just because I decided to hit 100 reps for some reason. 

Mary:  A P90X favorite, Downward Dog Crunches (DD position, raise right leg, swing it to touch right elbow for 4 count, return.  Raise right leg, swing it to forehead for 4 count, return, then swing right leg to left elbow for 4 count – repeat other leg).  Then we did some kind of toe touch things until time expired.  Good stuff.

Prayers:  Fire Chief Tony, battling stomach cancer; FRAM’s coworker Mike, in a car accident.

The Most Uncomfortable Thing

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

YHC pre-blasted a potential FNG at Mutiny this morning which brought a good crowd.  Unfortunately our FNG was a no-show but we had a good time regardless.  I was happy to see so many happy faces this morning.

FNGs:

We were supposed to have one but, alas, none showed.

Warm Up:

Lap around the soccer field and then circle up by the tennis courts:

Good morning x10 IC

SSH x20 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

Penalty burpees for Warbucks being late x5

The Workout:

We moseyed down the parking lot and stopped at the first island.  From there we started YHC’s favorite go-to, the Crab Boil

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab cakes x10 IC

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab humpers  x10 IC

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab jacks x10 IC

Once we were done with that we took a break to do some Jack Webbs.  For those who forget, it’s a 1:4 ratio of merkins and air presses.  We went up to 10:40

We crab boiled back up the parking lot and then did Spud Webbs, which are like the previous workout but this time with lunges and squats. (It was A LOT of squats)

Once done with that we went to the rock pile and grabbed a rock and moved up to the pavilion:

Curls for the girls x16 IC and move two rocks to the left

Triceps extensions x16 IC and move three rocks to the left

Chest press x16 IC and move two rocks to the left

Trunk rotations x16 IC and move two rocks to the left, back to our original rocks

Ground pounders x16 IC and then return your rock

One last exercise, we paired up and did roman sit-ups on the picnic table.  This is where you hang off the front of the table, face first, while someone holds your legs to keep you from falling on your face.  Then you do a reverse sit up using your lower back muscles to pull you up.  Each PAX did 10 OYO and, afterwards, one described it as “the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever done in F3”

Mary:

At the tennis courts we circled up for:

LBC x10

Reverse LBC x10

Knees to the left side LBC x10

Knees to the right side LBC x10

Homer to Marge x10

Sleeping Hillbillies x10 each side

Freddy Mercury x10
