PT Throwback

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

For the third day in a row, YHC was at the helm. EC was skipped due to some fatigue. Rolled up with 4 mins to spare for some mumble chatter. Nine pax were ready to do some work. I wanted to relive some old school workouts at PT so that’s what we did. Everyone survived but not without some moaning and groaning. Heck I think I ever moaned some from my stupid ideas.

YHC and Gamecock met for some EC while singing Take My Breath Away…or at least it felt like that. It was steamy and nobody else showed so 0530 off we went.

Are you in some kind of fitness challenge? No just playing with balls.

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs:

None today – the one I had let me down.
Warm Up:

SSH x10 IC

The Workout:

Mosey to the rock pile. Grab a rock “your M would be impressed by” and circle up.

We rotated around the rock pile and did curls, tri-ceps, overhead press, ground pounders, upright rows, and bus drivers.

Carry the rock over to the wall for 3 repeats each of 20 IC balls to the wall 20 IC preacher’s chair.

Cusack the rocks across the park to the basketball hoops for our main event.

Pax made two lines holding plank. Pax at front of each line shot with the first shot coming from the 3-point line and subsequent being a free for all. First to make the basket did 5x of that round’s exercise (merkins, squats, turkish getups) while the loser did 10x.

We wrapped up with each pax taking a halfcourt shot. Pax were advised that misses added 1 and makes took off 5. After 12 misses we did our 12x penalty burpees.
Mary:

Mosey back cusacking to the rock pile and then back to start. We had time for 20x LBCs and low slow flutters followed by some yoga for the many pax that had run to U-Turn and then back to Ground Pounder.
Announcements:

June challenge continues! Great to see so many pax out there getting after it.

F.N.G.

/in , /QIC:
PAX: , ,

YHC had all intentions of an earlier start to get some EC in with the boys before Mutiny. Alarm went off 0435 and I was awake but then sleep hit me again. Woke up again 0510…holy crap! Passed on taking the dog out and taking a dump, shot out the door and made it on time with 2 mins to spare. Did a little mumble chatter then got us started. Good to see Puddles visiting from Beaufort.

Warmed up with Red October
SSH x20
Cotton Pickers (done with proper form) x10
Mtn climbers x20
Goofballs x20
Then we split off. Once we got to the small hill I turned around and saw on 2 guys with me of which one was an FNG. I thought this might be bad for this guy. He had no clue was FNG stood for but kept saying it during the workout. I think he thought it was a curse word or something.

Tiny Hill will break you
11’s – deep squat into calf raise at top and alternating shoulder tap merkins at bottom
Crawl bear up hill and bear crawl down

Mosey towards lower lot. Lieutenant Dans across the lot then over to the rock pile.

The Quay preview

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

YHC lead 6 men coming from all over the map in FV. We all met for a Tequila (early) Sunrise for a 5 mile route that included the start of Run the Quay that was starting shortly afterwards. Wild Turkey came running in at 0530 for some EC with YHC. Breach arrived by foot as well and the others made it before the 0600 start.

Quick circle warm up
Good Mornings
Frankensteins
SSH’s

We ran, we picked up the six, we chatted. Turkey and Breach peeled off to stay for the race around mile 3. Solo stretch on the return and ended in the circle of trust.

Prayers for sick kids of PAX and my M for sleep.

Great to lead on a beautiful morning to run.

Boulder work

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

FNGs: none
Warm Up: usual warm o rama with some surprise merkins
The Workout: Circle to with your rock and played survivor with a set of 5 exercises, 15 reps each, and a rotation sheet each exercise. Ruh rohs, curls, triceps extension, skull crushers, overhead press. The least favorite exercise (not PAX, that’s just hurtful) got voted off each round. Didn’t help that Fram choose a boulder.

Over to the dugout for some bar hangs. 6 saw who could hang the longest while the other 6 “cheered” them on doing amrap squats.

Mary: Popcorn Mary with some upper body stretches.
Announcements: June challenge, lipstick meal train, run the Quay
T-Claps (Recognition): 7 for EC. Great showing!
Prayer: Dahmer’s family members, FedEx kids graduation, stubs family

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

13 PAX showed at R4TJ for a changed up event. First day of June challenge is off to a great start.

Divide into two teams
Run a 0.9 route/lap inside Ting
Once 5 laps are completed, you run only the square route.

The flag will be at the top of the ramp with a roll of TP on it. Each time you pass you pull one sheet and add it to your teams pile. The team with the most sheets at the end of 50 mins wins. Timer will be set at the flag.

We ended up with 45 vs 40 sheets of TP. Nice work gents and great push.

Cletus: Yogurt 4 yr & 57 yr – Takin’ Care of Business

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

EC: Abe, Alpine, Bleeder, Cupid, Lipstick, Skidmark, Pikachu, UTI. In May 2018, @Skidmark invited me to an F3 workout. Probably the easiest headlock ever. On May 13, 2022, 27 men posted to celebrate my 4 years of F3 and 57 years of life. When we came rolling in from EC at 5:27 am, I was overwhelmed by more than two dozen men, circled up, ready to go.

Special invitation: Yogi, who was at my first workout. When it was time for my F3 name, after fruitless discussion around Raleigh native, environmental worker, and more, I got the “What was your first concert?” question. Answer: BTO, you know, Bachman Turner Overdrive, who sing, Takin’ Care of Business. Dorton Arena, ~1975. Yeah, Yogi chimed in, Takin’ Care of Business – TCoB! Slide Rule heard “TCB” and immediately thought TCBY – The Country’s Best Yogurt. Ok, your name is YOGURT!

Warmup: 1) Run to top of Ivan lot. 2) Circle up for 57 SSHs. Count off: 27! 3) Mosey to amphitheater lawn area. 4) Jack Webbs to 30; 19 pickle pounders, 19 squats, 19 Catalina wine mixers. (19 x 3 = 57) 5)  Mosey up to greenway, on your six. Guantanamo. Wide range of pushes from nice and easy to brutal by Pikachu. Long time to circulate 27 PAX. Mosey to truck to pick up gloves. Note: Should have picked up speaker too! Mosey to rock pile. Each PAX grab a rock.

During the workout, I missed several counts and received much-deserved grilling. During my days of Q’ing Cletus, I was never known for counting.

The Thang 1: Count off in 1s and 2s. Simple exercise – 1s bear crawl to top of parking lot and back, while pushing your rock. 2s do AMRAP curls for the girls (Round 1), rut rohs (Round 2), prisoner squats (Round 3).

The Thang 2: Circle up in “grassy” lot. Similar to Banana Seat’s and Pikachu’s AC/DC Thunderstruck workout, I used Takin’ Care of Business as the song and we did a burpee with every “Takin’ Care of Business.” That’s 27 (compared to 31 for Thunderstruck). Volume was way too low, so yes, should have grabbed speaker while at truck. Anyway, everyone grilled me for that.

Mary: Circle up on tennis courts, where it all began. Big boy sit-ups, Pickle pounders, Box cutters, Protractor. Have a nice day.

Announcements: #Junechallenge and more on Slack. Highlighter running for Congress.

Prayer requests: Yogi prepared a list of goals at the suggestion of his pastor. Boy George selling house and moving family. Highlighter pointed out those who need help mentally may not be reaching out. Find them.

Message: Thanks for all the F3 support over the years. It’s a real privilege to be part of this group. Each one of you has been a positive influence in some way. Thanks for keeping the F3 SouthWake standard high. F3 is the real gift.

The Chute

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , ,

Prison Yard broke out only to find a hill that repeatedly punished them. They call it “The Chute” on strava. Switching things up from circuit training or classic bootcamp, we punished our legs at today’s WOD. Here’s what we did.

Mosey down to lower lot for a warm up.
Good mornings x10 IC
SSH’s x20 IC
Frankensteins x10 IC
Copperhead Squats x10
Copperhead Merkins x10

Cross the street to the greenway that went a long ways and down. Roughly a qtr mile to the bottom of this long hill.
Long @$$ 7’s YHC called it.
Morning Wood at the top and 8 count Absolutions at the bottom
Indian run between so we can stay together.
We made it down easily the first time but on the way back up some guys started thinking “Is BS serious?”
We ended up getting 4 trips to the bottom before YHC called for a modification so the PAX would be able to walk that day.

We moseyed over to the front of the club house for some other fun.
Baby box jumps x20
Dips x10 IC
Dirkens x10
Rinse and Repeat

Gathered back at the flag for Mary. PAX went around the circle calling an exercise.
Finished up with a nice stretch.

Great work today from the PAX. Thanks for letting me lead such a strong group.
