4 year F3 Anniversary at Cletus

/in /by

YHC hit the fartsack last night with an irritated eye.  I hoped that a good 5 hour nights sleep would cure this.  YHC woke a little early for Extra credit (4am) and right eye pain was killing me.  A quick trip to Harris Teeter to waste some money on eye drops that did nothing.  Well… I figured I was going to be in eye pain anyway – so why not take my mind off it with some total body pain.  I said screw it – lets post.

This morning, I was celebrating 4 years of F3.  It took about 18 months of emotional headlocking for Chase (Gnard Dogg) to convince me to try my first workout at Womble Park.  I will never forget this workout – Key West was my Q and I think Peak Week, Blue Hen, Moby, New Mexico and Howard were all there to name me.  I did not think I would make it through without quitting.  I remember doing a jacobs ladder with burpees in the baseball outfield.  This morning, I wanted to celebrate with one of my best memories of a hard ass workout.  The Bearway to heaven.

About 7-8 gathered for EC to hear me bitch about my eye.  None of that matters as 5:15a hit and we were off.  We did about 2 miles with many doing a little more as they circled back to get the 6 (YHC).  We had 187 and Skid Mark even join us AFTER their Murph (BEAST)

Warm Up:

Grab the official Southwake Shovel Flag (T Claps to Howard for making it and entrusting me with it) and head to the large field to circle up for warm ups.  We had WAAAAY more pax than I anticipated.  Someone ran by me an said – “were you planning on 40” – I remember thinking – I am barely hear and can barely see out of my right eye 🙂

Anyway – we circled up

  • SSH x 20
  • Good Mornings x 15
  • Standard Merkins x 20
  • Imperial + Hill Billy (10 each = 20)
  • 5 Burpee OYO

  • Indian Runs (clockwise and counter clockwise) around soccer field with back pax carrying a 25 pound weight as he runs to the front
  • Pax then carefully passes the weight to the back – man by man – repeat while indian running
  • We had 20+ in each group so it took nearly 1.75 laps to get it done.
  • Head to Hunt center field for next

THANG 2:  Bearway to Heaven

  • 40 pax in a line along the side line of soccer field
  • 7 cones set up about 20 feet apart

Next Workout: Same Damn thing (only different)

/in /by

Background:   A buddy recently started working out and told me he did a “fitness test” as a barometer.  I wondered how I’d fare on that test, but I certainly wasn’t going to work out on my own, so figured I’d start Cletus with the test.  Thus, the warmup!

We started with the disclaimer for 2 FNG’s (nice job!), guaranteed we wouldn’t leave them behind, then tore off at a 7 minute pace for the warmup (thanks to the awesome Pax who stayed with the Six)

Warm Up:

As fast as possible, do

  • 1/2 mile
  • 50 SSH
  • 40 Squats
  • 30 WWII
  • 20 Merkins
  • 10 Burpees

Time: 7 min, 6 sec.

Result: YHC was smoked and the rest of the workout was pulling from fumes

Warm Up Part Dos:

20 SSH, 20 Squat Jumps, 20 WWII, 20 Merkins, at a much more reasonable pace

The Workout:

Pt 1:

Indian run to the rocks.  Grab a stationary curling rock and circle up around the volleyball courts.

  • Squat Hold, Overhead Press Rock.  First one in circle throws rock to sand, does a burpee, then runs a lap around the court.  Second man follows after the burpee.  Repeat until all have run a lap
  • Same damn thing, only this time curling the rock
  • SDT, only this time triceps extensions.

Recover with a round of Guantanamo Leg Raises

Followed by Bull Frogs

  • Back to volleyball circle, only this time second man starts after the rock throw (Before burpee)
  • SDT, curling
  • SDT, triceps

Mosey to playground

Knocking off the Rust

/in /by

11 at Disney this morning. YHC was back in action after a long 2 week absence for family vacation. Not many chances to workout on the road so was a great morning to start knocking off some rust.  Crab Legs also returned from a long family vacation to Greece so it was like having 2 FNGs out there.  Solo EC for Nemo.  Great work by 2.0 8-Bit.  The Dawg Pound dropped The HC but was a no show.

Warm Up: Jog around field, circled up in lot for Good Mornings, Windmills and arm/chest stretch. Indian Run to baseball lot for crazy feet, SSH ICx40 and Fazio Arms.

The Workout: Jog to The Abyss, partner up. Each pair completed 100 merkins, 200 squats and 300 LBCs. One partner doing the exercise while the other runs the stairs.  Focus on form and not a race.

Mary: Circled up in tight, shoulder to shoulder plank hold. One man backs out, calls a hold or exercise to be done from plank, and bear crawls around and back. Next man repeats and we went around the circle.

Announcements: Upcoming events follow on facebook, Crab Legs birthday the 14th – RESPECT

Prayer: Crab Legs friend Corey who is fighting ALS, for a strong start for resurrected AO Kenny’s Grave.  YHC took us out in prayer including all those unspoken.
