Smokey Morning Laps Around The ⚽️ Fields

Blue Suede :bluesuede: and I showed up right on time @ 05:30 and there was only one car in the the parking lot @Disney.

Seems to be a new AO spinning up on Fridays’ but we didn’t let that keep Bondo and I from winning the day with a solid sweat equity session.

It was a bit smokey in the sky due to some forest fires going on in Quebec 🇨🇦. Prayers for those impacted 🙏

Warm Up:

Hillbillies | Imperial Walkers | Good Mornings | Burpees

The Workout:

Moseyed to the new retaining wall at the entrance to Middle Creek High and grabbed smedium 🪨’s (10 – 15 .lbs). We then moseyed up the hill behind the soccer fields and knocked out 3 exercise (uneven pushups | alternating squats | curls for the gurls) after that we took a lap around the soccer fields. I think we got about 4 rounds in. We were drenched that is for sure! Blue Suede was covered in water from the grass so I know he had a blast.

Mary:

Just a few for Mary – homer to marge | box cutters | low slow flutter | boat canoe

Making Beetle Bailey Proud

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: I like workouts that help make daily life better. Even though my daily life isn’t like being in the Army, they have some great exercises for strong movement. Today’s workout was inspired by the ACFT.

Thing 1
Started with a run around the baseball fields. Stopped at the rock pile and got a mediumish rock. 3 rounds of the following:

  • sumo squat w/ rock
  • overhead press w/ rock
  • ruh rohs w/ rock
  • hand release merkin
  • plank
  • sprint to the end of the parking lot, mosey back

Returned rocks and ran around the soccer fields, stopping back at the tennis court concession stand. All in all we got about 1.5 miles in.

Thing 2
We had some extra time because these dudes are BEASTS. 2 rounds of People’s Chair, Urkins and Dips.

Mary: Popcorn Mary followed by some yoga / stretching.

Announcements: F3 South Wake picnic, Memorial Day Murph

T-Claps (Recognition): Shooting Blanks for coming back out for his second workout. Keep it going!

Prayer: any injured PAX

No running allowed

FNGs: none

Warm Up: windmills, sir fazio forward and back, seal claps, overhead claps, Smurf Moroccan nightclubs

The Workout: YHC still has a bum ankle from uturn on Saturday, so I set out to serve a beatdown without the use of running. Starting in the parking lot, pax alternated traveling as landscapers and wheelbarrows until reaching the intersection with the running track around the soccer fields. Once there, pax were given the choice of continuing with the wheelbarrow or converting to walking lunges. These modes of travel carried us to the newly opened playground. Once we arrived at our destination, we embarked on a modified murph, with modifications centering on not using legs (running and squats). Each pax completed 100 pull-ups (or inverted rows), 200 merkins of assorted styles, and 300 LBCs. All pax were serenaded with classic rock as they worked their was through the rounds. 

Mary: Freddy mercury, box cutters, plank hold w/10 merkin per pax counter, Australian snow angels, broga.

Announcements:Nemo on the Q at Disney tomorrow for the first time in a year and a half

T-Claps (Recognition): jellybeans new site Q at purple cobra

Death by Dips

YHC took an opportunity to jump back in the Q circle today aboard the Train! Have struggled for months with physical/health issues and I just got cleared a few days ago to work out again, so I figured…”why not?’

FNGs: Nada

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Fazio’s, Imperial Walkers, Frankenstein

The Workout: A short mosey to the hallway between parking deck and Main. 10/15/20 Dips, 10/15, 20 mountain Climbers IC. Then we moseyed on don to the parking garage for some DORA.

DORA consisted of 100 Hand-Release Shoulder Tap Merkins, 200 Monkey Humper IC, and 300 LBC. Partners ran the stairs up to do 10 more dips each pass.

Wall Work consisted of 2 rounds of People’s chair, while the end PAX bear crawled to the end of the line.

We took a quick mosey over to the small rock pile in the main lot. 4 PAX did AMRAP chest press, while the other 3 PAX rotated to complete 3-Man Rows (ie. 2 men stand as the base while the other lies down and does inverted row). 2 rounds of this and more on this later.

Mary: Supermans, shoulder roll stretches, Cobra Stretch.

Announcements: Like the exercise mentioned above, our job as the men of F3 is to pick eachother up when we are down. Many PAX during the last many months for YHC have reached out and have my sincere thanks as YHC has not been the best version of himself for months now. Our job in F3 is to pick up the six, never leave someone behind, and help eachother do things we don’t think we can do.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Prayer: Woody’s M has some promising job prospects on the line. Pumpkin Spice has kids with need for safe travel. 16-Bit, his family and kids with various things going on. YHC for continued clarity on health situation, good results, and strength to bite down and move forward.

☠︎ Chrome Dumpster Beatdown ☣︎

Temp was good for a solid beat down! I showed up 2 mins early but only because it’s my Q 🤣 and I knew Breach would give me shit if I was late for my own Q. Respectfully so 🤘. U.T.I. was right on time but had to put his shoes on when he got to Disney so naturally when he joined the warm up circle we all did 5 burpees to honor his lateness. During transition from the wall to the next exercise we stopped and did some LBC’s per usual conversation struck up and some U.T.I. miss heard an old military slang term from Breach as “Chrome Dumpster” 😆. We all had a good laugh and it was the word of the day at 2nd F @ Duncan Donuts.

No plan? No problem

PAX:  Bondo, Woody
Warm Up:  SSH, Good Morning, Sir Fazio, Windmill
The Workout:  YHC showed up with no plan other than murder bunnies, because this AO has the coupons.  But it turned into a pretty decent workout.  Starting with Patty Cake Merkins around the bank, for several laps.  We then brought two coupons to the parking lot, determined a number of empty spaces to serve as our distance and set one coupon on each end.  One PAX did an exercise at point A, while the other PAX murder-bunnied to point B, then bear crawled back to point A, at which time they switched, and repeato.  So.  Many.  MURDER BUNNIES & BEAR CRAWLS.

The exercises were merkins, skull crushers, curls for the girls, LBC, Carolina Dry Docks, not necessarily in that order, but multiple rounds of each.  After two or three rounds a recover mosey was made ’round the parking lot, with a stop at the Nail Salon for People’s Chair.  I think we got three of those in.
Mary:  Box cutter, low slow flutter…I think a third one, but only had about 2 minutes.
Announcements:  BRR, I guess.  Maybe something happening for 9/11.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer:  Safe travels for BRR teams, prayers for Bondo’s expected grandchild, and for my Dad’s surgery recovery

Exploring that whole parking lot at Purple Cobra!

FNGs: None
Warm Up: SSH, SFAC, Windmills, Squats
The Workout: Mosey to the church!

On the way we did 35 dips IC (my shoulders), 20 irkins IC.

At the church, we split up into groups and did a modified set of 7s. One group started with 7 turkish getups, the other group started with 7 squats. We counted down from there by running to the other side of the parking lot – every time we passed each other we did 7 merkins.

After this, we did 3 rounds to the other side of the parking lot. One group ran, the other group did an exercise. Planks, LBCs, and then homer to marge.

Finally, we did one round of bear crawls around the last side of the parking lot (thanks Bondo!) while the other group did pickle pounders.

Back to the HT parking lot for one round of BTTW and one round of preacher’s chair, during which there was one particularly nasty fart that actually made YHC stop his counting. We hustled back to the flag and that was that!

Mary: No time

T-claps: Wallaby! Nice to see you back out, brother!

Prayer: F3 PAX in Raleigh’s brother died rescuing family from a riptide. Family saved, brother did not make it. Also Fanny Pack for skin cancer removal.
