I decided that this morning would be a coupon day. Thought for sure it was going to be raining this am.

The Workout: Once I realized we had 11 PAX I had Fram head to his car to grab some more coupons. While we waited for him, we ran suicides. After that we lunged walked, bear crawled and crawl beared to the end of the lot. It was here that I went over the stations. Below is what we did:

Fritter returned to Possum Trot

/in , /by

19 PAX, including 10 who are in hot pursuit of the coveted fritter, posted at Possum Trot for a beatdown delivered by the Fritter Foundation.

Fritter Quitters: None

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Lap around the tennis courts; circled up for SSH, IW, HB, Fazio arm circles, good mornings; I had to throw in some burpees to calm the mumble chatter

The Workout: PAX moseyed to the tennis court and lined up on one end. PAX were instructed to travel the width of the 4 tennis courts by broad jump, 5 star jumps, broad jump, 5 prisoner squats, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and squat-hold for the 6.  PAX then traveled back to the start across the 4 courts with the Obama (named after the 44th president) 4 steps in bear crawl followed by 4 merkins, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and plank-hold for the 6.  PAX loved these so much, we decided to do it again but had to limit each to the halfway mark to save on time.  Once complete, PAX traveled to the concession stand via Indian run for more fun.  Half the pax held BTTW, while the other pax did an exercise, then switch.  (exercises were 1:step ups x10 each leg, 2:bulgarian squats x5 each leg, 3:Erkins-Derkins-Dips x5 each).  Half the pax then held People’s chair while the other half did exercises, then switch.

Memorial Day Murph Challenge- 2021

/in /by

32 Pax showed up today to help me (Shredder) celebrate my 4 year F3 anniversary and more importantly pay respect to our nation’s fallen during our annual Memorial Day Murph Challenge.

Impressive effort by all, especially after the May Challenge. 30 joined in on the Murph, Dauber (IR) joined to capture the event and support with donuts, and Breach (after doing a Murph at 0600) stopped by to give us his thoughts on Memorial Day and his recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

Warm Up: short warm-up with SSH, Good Mornings, Willie Mays Hayes, & Frankensteins. Pax counted off by 2s and headed off in opposite directions for Mile 1.

The Workout: 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, 100 mile run.  Since this is F3 the last mile was an Indian Run race with the slower group having to knock out 50, scratch that, 20 Burpees. After a quick “speech”, the two groups took off in their different directions.

The mental battle was in full effect as my mind kept telling me “you need to quit”, just after I told everyone we needed to learn to Embrace the Suck. But Pax did what they do best and mentally drug me through the last mile.

As everyone wrapped up their last mile and came back together, guess what…..? Yep. We all did Burpees.

T-Claps (Recognition): We raised $425+ for HSPD first response bags. Sprinkler’s team donated 1/2 of their May Challenge winnings to the 1st response bags and 1/2 to the FQV bed building. Great work #HIM.    

: YHC took us out. Remember why we have a Memorial Day. Freedom is not Free! 🇺🇸

Early 4 Year at Disney

/in /by

My 4 year would be the Memorial Day Murph, but out of town plans led me to ask Dawgpound if I could take the Q from him at Disney for an early celebration. This was just before the challenge and I appreciate he gave up a coveted Q spot late in the month, and was pleased to see he picked up a different AO this morning. It was an honor to lead, was pleased to see such a great turnout, and what better place than Disney for me to celebrate. I am a proud Disney site Q alum. Preblast promised nothing fancy, just moving around and putting in the work, with a guarantee of a good tour.

FNGs: None today, so no bonus point awarded
Warm Up: Quick jog around lot, circled up for Good Mornings, Daisy Pickers, Windmills, Imp Walkers, Hillbillies and had to throw in Goofballs for good measure. 5 burpees OYO too.
The Workout: Jog around back of fields and down the hill to the road, circled up for a couple sets alternating SSH ICx20 and a shoulder burn (arms out, fazio front, arms out, fazio reverse, arms out, seal claps, arms out, overhead claps, arms out, recover). On the jog back to entrance and grabbed a low pole for alternating deep tempo dips ICx10 and tempo merkins ICx10. Did this 4 times. On the jog to the lower lot, each man on a line, dropped to plank hold, shoulder taps, plank hold, nipplers, chill cut, merkins, plank hold, recover. Did this 2 time. On the jog to back corner of building for alternating low slow flutters ICx20, 15 and 10, with the other half holding BTTW, so 3x on the wall for each of us. On the jog to big lot lined up in groups of 4 for a bear crawl Indian Run. PAX hold plank while man in back bear crawls to front. Each man did 4 bear crawls. 10 quick merkins to burn out and then on the jog to The Abyss for 2 rounds with LBC up top and Star Jumps at bottom. On the jog back to flag.
Mary: Not much time so heel taps ICx22 and LBC ICx2
Announcements: Cletus 7 year anny celebration with Deadbolt on Q, wear red Fri, ZERO excuses and support Breach raising money for Travis Manion Foundation – let’s go big tomorrow for this.
T-Claps (Recognition): from me to all of you for the experiences over the past 4 years, and for putting in the effort start to finish today – might not seem like we did all that much but when you think about it we did not stop working the whole time
Prayer: 16-Bit mother-in-law, those impacted by the shooting in San Diego. As leaders in all we do, let’s be mindful of looking out for others especially when it comes to mental well being. YHC took us out

Marine Corps History at TBD 5/26/21

/in /by

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.
