Toilet paper Team Tear

/in /QIC:
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.

The Taper

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

A Mix of Complaints and Cheers

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

Ya know…everyone is a critic. At Crazy Ivan, it is incumbent on the Q to choose the playlist, so I always choose mine. Today, there were equal numbers of complaints versus kudos for the playlist. “Hell yeah..this is my jam”, “I’m down with Fanny on this one”, “Thowin it back…yeah!”, It’s too loud”, “what the hell are they singing?”, “This makes me wanna go bust stuff up”, “Crazy Ivan…when Fanny’s the Q, you leave angrier then when you got here.”  Good stuff right there.
Warm Up: SSH x 25, Good Mornings, Seal Claps, Frankensteins, Spinal Rotation.
The Workout: This was a “recover on your time workout”, so the timer just kept going. It was a 1:15/:45 Tabata/AMRAP with the Kettlebells. During the 1:15, YHC would call an exercise. During the :45 PAX had a choice of Boobity-Boobitys, Plank Hold, Swings, or Snatches. Rest was entirely up to the PAX. Some PAX took it upon themselves to stretch, run, etc. during the :45. OK. Exercises that YHC called during the 1:15 segments were: Bell Merkins, Bridge Pullover,  Bobbity Boobity, Squats, Suitcase Lift, 1 leg Deadlift, Lawnmower, Halo, Figure 8, Curls for the Girls, 1 Arm Shoulder Press, Ground Pounders, Plank Pull Through, Midget Cookie Pouch, Midget Love Handle, Swings.
Mary: Bad form plank and downward dog, with some runner’s stretches. Awful Q examplehood!
Announcements: Long Ass Run, 2/12…details on Slack.
T-Claps (Recognition): Ponzi…cotter…back out in the Gloom!
Prayer: Lots of relatives sick or injured. Emeril daughter/family with just being a teenager! YHC took us out and ended this debacle!

Owls are Bigger than I Thought

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

YHC took the helm at Disney this morning promising stops at several attraction the park had to offer, so I did. 4 Thangs and plenty of Mary during this workout! During EC, 187 and I spotted an owl swoop down from the trees and land totally silent…that sucker was huge!
Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Sir Fazios, Seal Claps, and Overhead Claps, then a long mosey over to the large HS parking lot.
The Workout: Started with some Poopeaters x 10 IC in honor of our K9 friend! We then partnered up for some whellbarrow/merkin ladders. Wheelbarrow your partner to parking lines, they start with 1 merkin, move, then 2 at the next…so on until hitting the 7th parking line. Finished in this area with Poopeaters x10 again IC.

Mosey over to the traffic circle in front of the HS and split in two groups. 1 group did an Indian run to the top of the hill and did 5 Star Jumps, while the other group stayed at the circle and did 15 merkins, 15 WW1’s, 15 squats, and 15 burpees. Groups switch. We did 4 rounds of this.

A quick jaunt back to the large lot to do a whole group, lunge walk, bear crawl Indian walk…let’s say. Pax in back of the line is the bear crawler until he gets to the front. All others lunge walk. Everyone got a turn.

Moseyed over to the big dark hill behind the soccer fields for a “take that hill” series. Up the hill…20 Hand Release Merkins, Up the Hill…15, Up the Hill…10.
Mary: Moseyed back to the flag for Mary for 20 counts of: LSF’s, LBC’s, Homer to Marge, American Hammers, BB Sit Ups, Freddie Mercury.
Announcements: LAR on 2/12…details on Slack. Raising money for ALS with SuperBowl Squares…reach out to Dauber. Wear Red Fridays boys! OurLegsForCrabLegs
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Lots of praises from FloJo about job situations, several Pax have sick/injured relatives. YHC took us out….glad to be back on the Q at Disney!
