“Let this be your outlet”

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

FNGs: None
Warm Up: EC- YHC, Dahmer, Cancun, Yogurt, Swisher Sweets for a 2 mile EC. Also, Java & Warbucks on their bikes.  Nice work & the guys pushed me to the 2 mile PR 9:18 pace.

SSH (20), Frankensteins (10), Good mornings (15) & Willie Mays Hays (10).

The Workout: I decided not to over plan & not print out a sheet. This was a good idea & I didn’t think too much about it. It was time to dive in & focus on my weak points.

Indian run over to the dreaded hill towards Bass Lake/Greenway.

We paired up in twos. 5 rounds of hill sprints (what a rush).

Indian run back to the rock pile. Curls for the girls (20 X 2), tri-cep ext (20 X 2), Ruh Rohs (20 X 1), Bus drivers (20 X 1), shoulder press (20 X 2) & shoulder raises (20 X 1).

Pavilion area- Erkins (20 X 1), Derkins (20 X 1), Dips (20 X 1).

Mary: Call arounds at the tennis court. Cancun got us at the end!

Announcements: Run with 3-Alarm (Davis) every Tuesday at 6pm. Lookout for Yogurt’s posts.

My message at the end was “Let this be your outlet”. Tomorrow it will make one year that my family & I have been in HS. Prior, I did not have an outlet, was stressed out, angry & bitter. I would take things out verbally at times on my family. F3 has changed my life in so many ways. Thank you Pax for your friendship! It was an honor to lead this morning!

T-Claps (Recognition): Pumpkin Spice for not backing down & focusing on his weak points too. Boss Hog, Cyclops & Fireball for pushing through it.

Prayer: Cyclops wife, Shredder & many more for their mission trip to Mexico. My M & FIL on their trips home. Safe travels.

TBD Return to the Hill

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

EC: Fanny Pack, YHC

Warm Up:

  • Trace the lines on the tennis courts, forward, sideways both ways
  • Step ups on the curb (Fancy Feat) around the lower parking lot both sides for symmetry
  • Step ups over the picnic tables in the shelter
  • Step ups on the ledge of amphitheater up and back for symmetry
  • Mosey to top of second parking lot: Bat wings 20x per exercise (arm circles, seal claps, overhead claps) (2 rounds no recovery, followed by 5 count off by each pax) Toast!

The Workout: Guantanamo using the parking spaces (one pax per parking line with both legs at 45 degrees, last pax goes up the group Indian run style, pushing the feet down while pax rebound).

Chill cut with pax bunny hopping (one pax per parking line in chill cut, last pax hops over legs of the pax, moving up the line Indian run style).

Mosey to the Hill beside/behind the Hunt Center. Reverse Indian run, wherein the first pax goes to the back of the line.

The Hill is the location of many, many Cletus sets of 11s. Today, we did 11s with WWIIs at the bottom and Erkins at the top, but you had to hop the fence and do the Erkins on the other side. This took a while and I mostly had the count right! Final climb was bear crawl.

Mary: Been bringing classic rock to Mary. Today, it was China Grove by the Doobie Brothers (1973). This mid-70s is very nostalgic for me, hope everyone enjoyed. Glad Bondo was there to relate, Cancun gave it a thumbs up.

Popcorn ab work featuring the pax’s favorite (or least favorite) ab exercise. Today’s ab work featured low slow flutter, American Hammer, Freddie Mercury, box cutter, and more.

Announcements: F3 picnic on the 26th. Build a Bed on the 12th.
Prayer: Prayers for various pax and family members for good health – both mental and inside the body.

FNGs:

Still none for YHC this week.
Warm Up:

SSH, Daisy Pickers, Good Mornings, Sir Fazios – all 10x IC
The Workout:

Mosey to the middle parking lot.

Grab a rock that’s flat on one side.

Bearly curling bear crawl suicides – bearly curl (push the rock while bear crawling) down one parking spot line, 1x merkin, crawl bear back, 1x merkin, bear crawl to the rock and then bearly curl to the next line, 2x merkins, crawl bear back to start 2x merkins. We repeated this up to 5x and then left the rocks in the middle and moseyed out the other side of Womble down the greenway.

We went down the greenway to the street crossing and then did 11s – 10x star jumps at the top, 1x diamond merkins at the bottom of the hill at the cut through to Main Street Square.

With just enough time left we called it on the 11s and made our way back to the rocks we left in that parking lot. We repeated our bearly curling workout from earlier and then returned our rocks.

YHC called the strategic jailbreak on the way back to the tennis courts and mary only had time for 31x LBCs

Marine Corps History at TBD 5/26/21

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

11 Pax got a lesson in Marine Corps history as we took to Belleau Wood and Tripoli at TBD for a butt-kicking like no other @M4LIFE @swishersweet, @Hardy @Gamecock @Florence/FloJoe @Yogurt @Dahmer @Java @Cancun @HazMat and

@Breach on the Q/Drill Instructor/History Professor

Warm Up: All pax were issued a Rifle (aka a pool noodle) and we formed 2 squads for a platoon style movement to the lower parking lot for 22 counts exercises of (SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers/Hillbillies, and Prisoner Squats)

The Workout:

Evolution #1- Battle of Tripoli

April 27 1805- Marines march more than 500 miles across the Libyan desert to defeat the barbary pirates and rescue the crew of the USS Philadelphia. This is the battle where the Marines earned the nickname leatherneck due to the piece of leather they wore to keep the pirates from slicing their throats

Get into pairs and wheelbarrow around the track, every time that you have to switch you have to perform 5 burpees. Squat hold for the 6. We recused the crew of the USS Philadelphia and they had to finish the evolution with us. (2 Pain Sticks, 2 Sandbags and 2 Fire hoses) All the gear had to be carried by the platoon. 

 

Evolution #2-Battle of Belleau Wood -June 1918 

Marines charges machine guns nest with fixed bayonets and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat that took six days to accomplish, it was at this battle that the Marines earned the title Devil Dogs for their fierce fighting style and their inability to quit fighting. 

Rescue the crew and move on to the rock pile- get a medium-sized rock and line up across the parking lot. Frogger jumps with the rock across the lots. When you get to the other side 19 ground pounders, frogger back and do 18 ground-pounders, pick up the 6. 

Grab the crew and head toward the tennis courts for Mary

Mary:

Chumbawamba- I get knocked down, but I get up again. SSH for the non-course line and burpees/Turkish get-ups for the course, every I get knocked down you hit the deck and get back up.

Ended the workout with some bagpipe amazing grace to reflect on the upcoming Memorial Day holiday and what the cost of our freedom is.

Announcements:

Volunteer event this Sat in Holly Springs, Bacon is leading the charge check slack for details. For every pax member that wears Red on Friday at a workout Breach will donate $10 to the Travis Manion Foundation and if we get 75% or more he will double it.

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

YHC preblasted some track and field type activities this morning at TBD. To much disappointment there was no javelin.

FNGs: None this morning
Warm Up: Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal claps, Overhead claps, Moroccan Night clubs, and some modified SSH where you only brought the arms half-way down
The Workout: The original plan was for a merkin mile but was modified to merkin 1/2 mile or slightly more than 1 loop around the soccer complex. Finished at the pavillion. In the ampitheater. did some sets of preacher chairs, balls to the wall, and single leg box jumps (modification was a step-up). Mosey to the rock pile for Jack Webb-Shot Put-Bear Crawls. 1 merkin/3 over head press with the rock about 16lbs (weight of a shot put). After the overhead press Pax would shot put the rock then bear crawl to it. Continued all the way to 10 merkins/30 overhead press. Mosey back to the pavillion. The hardest race is the 800m. So we did about a 600m run at our best pace. Made the U at the soccer field then picked up the 6. In the grass area by the tennis court Pax did burpee triple jump. You can figure this out on your own.
Mary: Some abs and some Skidmark typical plank holds.
Announcements: May Challenge

66% Shirted at the mini Murph

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

FNGs:  Welcome Strat-eee-gery

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Windmills, SSH, Goofballs, Frankensteins, Squats

The Workout:  Murph.  Well… whatever we can squeeze into a 45 min workout.

Started with the traditional 1 mile run by completing the figure 8 around Womble.

Paired off into accountability partners.  YHC cut the normal count of 100 pull-ups, 200 merkins, and 300 squats in half.  Each PAX aimed to complete half of the normal Murph.  The count was done OYO with YHC supplying headlocks and mumblechatter throughout.

I regailed the PAX with a memory of one of my first Cletus workouts where a Murph was declared as the workout.  It was intimidating and so hard back then.  This wasnt easy today but it was certainly easier than it was on one of my first workouts.  Keep coming back, get stronger, beat yesterday, <enter your cliche inspirational message here>

Did you know that YHC is now the site Q at Disney?  Do you have a birthday, anniversary, or other memorable event to celebrate?  Celebrate it at Disney!

Reserve your spot on the Disney Q-Sheet today before its too late!!!

Once PAX completed their reps – we mozy’d around the soccer field and back around to the playground.  The TBD tribe then mozy’d back to the main lot for Mary.

Mary:  Homer to Marge, Pickle Pounders, (these brought cheers from the non-F3 onlookers in the lot), Good Mornings

Announcements:  Welcome Plunger (PAX relocating from Charlotte) – dropped some intel about an F3 campout coming this summer.  I cant find the link on Slack but keep an eye out for this HIM.  Good dude moving into town very soon.

Spicy rolls up followed by Tetanus. Tetanus and YHC are both nursing injuries so we are in good company for a zero point zero and I know Pumpkin Spice loves these so I kind of expected to see him roll in.
