Two Year Anniversary at the Nut: Co-Qs Dauber and Flanigan

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

FNGs. none

Warm Up:  Dauber led PAX for a quick jog circling up in the parking lot for the following warm-up exercises:  25 SSH, 10 Sir Fazio Arm Circles (F/B); 10 Daisy Pickers; 10 Imperial Walkers; 10 T-claps; 10 Seal-claps;  Static Arm stretching (L/R, behind the back).  PAX without kettle bells Mosey to the rock pile for medium sized rock (overachiever Breach picked up an XL one).  PAX held plank, rotating R arm and L arm up, until all PAX circled up for the main event led by co-Q, Flanigan.

The Workout:  Flanigan reminisced about one of his early Qs, researching F3 lexicon and coming across a routine called “blackjack”.  PAX lined up at the start of the parking lot with their rock/kettlebell.  Executed one wonder bra.  Lunged to the next bumpout in the parking lot and began the second portion of blackjack with 20 merkins (1+20=21).  Lunged back to the start.  Increased wonderbra rep to two.  Lunged back to the bumpout for 19 merkins.  Get the idea?  Lunges, (a.k.a. Rest period) was changed to a quick jog after about 8-9 rotations in fear of not completing the full blackjack by 6:15 am.  Lots of sweating and mumble chatter (merkins done for the week after this workout).  In all, 210 merkins and 210 wonder-bras were completed.  (20!). Shoulders on fire!    Flanigan was not done.  He grabbed a parachute (BRR Training – new in Box) from his SUV and had PAX taking turns jogging to the end of the parking up the hill and then deploying the chute while sprinting back to line of PAX.  PAX executed curls while watching running man with chute.  Due to time constraints, not all PAX got a chance to try the chute.  (some brave souls stayed post AO trying out the attached chute).  Lots of drag for sure.

Mary:  Dauber took over the reigns from Flanigan and had PAX get on their six for some core and began performing H2M.  More PAX joined in after returning their rocks.  PAX performed 10 additional H2M (right leg, left leg up); 10 Box cutters, 10 low-slow flutters.  Have a nice day!

Announcements:  Support PAX running Quay or completing local Tri this Saturday if you are not participating in these two events; (good luck to those brothers running, swimming, biking); Dads/2.0 workout delayed one week; H1N1 one year anniversary at PT tomorrow; see other announcements on social media.  Nice job Abe wearing Breathtaker.

T-Claps (Recognition):  These two studs:  Dauber and Flanigan. Congratulations on two years with F3!


Prayer:  Dauber took us out.  Prayers for injured PAX.  Silent/unspoken.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to lead you men.  An honor.   -Flanigan and Dauber.

Rocks at the Trot

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

It was great to be back at the Trot in front of 27 high impact men eager for a “Rock” beat down promised on social media.

FNGs:  None

Warm Up:  Jog around tennis courts.  Circle up in parking lot.  25 SSH, 10 IW, 10 HB, 10 Daisy Pickers, 10 Good Mornings, 10 Seal Claps, 10 Thunder Claps (all in cadence).

The Workout:  Jog to the snack shack.  Lined up in front of hill adjacent to ballpark fence.  Sevens of Merkins and LBCs.  Line up against outfield fence for 25 count people’s chair, 25 count BTTW.  Lots of chatter/commotion as the chain link fence may not have been as sturdy as Q anticipated for said exercises.  Adapt and overcome – headed to the snack shack for 25 count Australian Mountain Climbers and People’s Chair.  Chatter continued as PAX lined up on road in two lines.  Not sure what PAX anticipated but Q began Frankenstein’s, Gate openings and Lunges up the hill.  Mosey to rock pile for medium size rock.  PAX lined up with their rock in two opposing lines.  Q was at one end in the middle leading the following rock exercises with a couple of 10 count breaks in between:  10 count cadence – Curls for the girls, OH press, Tricep extension, Side twists, goblet Squats, Rut-rows.  PAX continued with their rock performing the following exercises on their six:  Homer to Marge, chest press with feet 6 inches off, skull crushers, LSF with rock extended above chest and LSF with rock extended behind head (that was a fun one).  Chatter was minimal.  Hmmm.  PAX finally put their rock down and began 25 count of toe taps, side to side jumps (over rock), front and backward jumps (over rock).  With rock at feet, PAX completed a square circuit beginning 10 R and then 10 L.  PAX switched rocks.  Some Mosey and curls.  Felt like I was back at ROTC Field Training on the parade grounds.  10 Burpees together.  Closed out with 10 cadence counts bicep curls, tricep curls and OH curls.  Return rocks to pile.

Mary:  Various Yoga positions for cool down.

Announcements:  Bottle exchange at LipSync home (whether or not he is home) this Friday; Torch Run; Food Cupboard (need more PAX turnout – See Emeril); Lots of PAX celebrating F3 Anniversaries – Guest Qs coming:  Memorial Day workouts and Murph at 0730 (Womble).  Check Social Media.

T-Claps (Recognition):  Highlighted Rainmaker (Pete McKeon) today as 6th man.  Originally from NY/CT, LEO (20 years); Great F3 naming – during an interview with a person in custody, threw his keys to another LEO and inadvertently hit a sprinkler causing the sprinkler system to go off!  LOL!  Mets fan.  LOL! Active 5-6 months in F3.
