10 Years of BS

/in /by

YHC rolled into Cletus on June 12th solo while riding up on a mountain bike. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The workout kicked my butt, but I loved it enough to keep coming back for 10 Years. A whole decade of my life I’ve been posting in the gloom. I’ve learned a lot and met a lot of cool dudes. YHC was ready to celebrate as this was day 4 of Throwback week from 2015 and the last original AO to Q. Here is how the PAX grew stronger together.

Warm Up run to upper lot with some agility

Two lines for indian run to lower parking lot.
7’s across the parking lot curb to curb
– Bear crawl to across and crawl bear back
– Absolutions and Turkish Getups were to exercises
Partner up
Brokeback dirkens – 4 rds (partners run opposite direction. when they meet, each does 10 reps of dirkens with feet on partners back)
Two lines for indian run back up to tennis courts

Partners again
Bullfrogs going across. Wheelbarrow if you cannot bullfrog. Go across both courts. Switch partners and come back.

Thunderstruck – SSH the entire song. Do a burpee every time you hear thunder. 36 total burpees.

Announcements and Prayers – waited too long to post BB and forgot

It’s truly been a blessing having F3 in my life for a decade. A lot of men have come and gone but F3 continues to change lives. Thank you to each person that came out this week to help YHC celebrate 10 years of F3. I hope I’m still around Q’ing in 10 more.

God Bless,
BS Out!

Jellybeans set the tone

/in /by

On my way to the AO, as I continued to work through the details of the workout in my head, I turned onto Holly Springs Rd and was coming up on my turn into Jones Park. Ahead of me, the silhouette of a HIM crossing Holly Springs Rd; Regal, Majestic, Patriotic; this HIM  (later identified as Jellybeans) was rucking to the AO for the workout, with his Shovel Flag in tow, backlit by the light of dawn.  A sight to see, an inspiration to those around him, a proud member of F3. For me, this certainly set the tone for the morning. 

FNGs: Nada

Warm Up: Good mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm circles, Seal Claps, OH Claps, Daisy Pickers

The Workout: Mosey to the rock pile for a medium rock. 

Made our way to Holly Springs Rd via Cusack and Mosey with various rock exercises mixed in (Ruh Rohs, Lunge walk with OH Press, Squat with OH Press, Curls for the Girls)

Circled up in the grass adjacent to Holly Springs Rd for 3 rounds of various rock exercises combining arms, legs, and ab work. Each round was separated by sprints down the new greenway path with a mosey back to the rocks. 

Exercises included ruh rohs, skull crushers, ground pounders, chest press, american hammers, homer to marge, squats, lunges, and a combo 6 inches and overhead rock pull on our six. 

Made our way back to the rock pile mixing in some of the same exercises and modes of transportation along the way.

Finished with a plank hold rock pass down the line of 14 PAX x 2.

Over to the playground we went to complete the June challenge of 20 pullups at every AO.
