This means at Pole 1 they did Break Dancers (Side kicks). At the start they only did break dancers. At Pole 2 they did 5 Prisoner Squat Get Up Squat Jumps.

May 9, 2021/in U Turn /QIC: Vasoline
PAX: 187, Alpine, Axe, Cupid, Dahmer, Dawgpound, Dumbo, Emeril, Fanny Pack, Forceps, Friar Tuck, Full House, Katniss, LED, Lipsync, Mario, Maybelline, McNugget, Nemo, Pikachu, Pumpkin Spice, Redenbacher, Sprinkler, Vasoline, Yoshi

During announcements I closed encouraging everyone to reach out to someone within F3 that may be dealing with an injury or just flat out hasn’t posted to an AO in a while. I told Saturday’s U-Turn PAX during the month of April I was personally dealing with a toe sprain and I hadn’t posted nearly as much as I would’ve liked to. Weekends are usually my only time to post at all during the week and I had missed U-Turn and AGS for 2 weeks straight. It didn’t take long for me to feel disconnected and somewhat distant from my fellow F3 brothers (both because I hadn’t seen anyone in a while and I had also lost some of my stamina/endurance). I can only imagine how a long term injury or a long period of time off (for whatever reason) may lead to a PAX feeling embarrassed or shameful to come back and post. Although we would never shame anyone and we always welcome any man to any workout at anytime I feel its important that we make an effort to reach out to a fellow F3 member that we know is injured, dealing with another issue, or just haven’t seen in a while. Sometimes a little encouragement can go a long way.

FNGs: none today

Warm Up: quick mosey, 10x Windmills, 10x Daisy Pickers, 10x Imperial Walkers, 10x Frankensteins, 25x-30x Merkins

The Workout: standard U-Turn in reverse (6mi option or 3mi option). By far an easier route than standard U-Turn due to less hills/elevation.

Mary: ran outta time

Announcements: congrats to Sprinkler’s son graduating high-school! Upcoming Grasshopper 5K run, 5K walk, & 1mi fun run benefiting Sergeant Rick Leach Sat June 12 here in Holly Springs. Bed build June 12th. May challenge continues…

T-Claps (Recognition): Picking up the 6 as always

Prayer: 11yr old recently involved in dirtbike accident, injured PAX, well being of F3 Friar Tuck and family upcoming move to TX

The Workout:

Moseyed to the Bus Drop off. We split up into pairs and then a pair took one of the three islands.

Run in opposite directions around the island. When you met your partner do 7s counting down of Broke Back Shoulder Tap Merkins. Every time you meet you decreased the number. We went down to 1. Once that was wrapped up we did laps around the island. Partner A did bear crawls and Partner B did Lunge walks. When Partner A needed a break Partner B took over the bear crawls and Partner A did lunges. After one lap we switched to Gorilla Walks and Lunges.

Mosey to the wall for mobile balls to the wall. The pax waiting held their Squat Hold. As pax held balls to the wall and moved down the length of the wall.

Moseyed to the playground and split up in three groups. One group went with Emeril to the hill. One group with Flanigan to the play ground and the last group with me to the wall. The hill group was the timer. 5 trips up the hill running backwards. The folks against the wall held squat while lifting up one leg and switching. The playground group did pull ups. Once the 5 trips where completed group one went to the wall. Group 2 to the hill and group 3 to the playground. Repeat until all groups ran the hill.

Then we made our way up the stairs. We then found our original partners and wheelbarrow to the flag pole/stop sign.

PAX: Blue Hen, Bondo, Brony, Cowboy, Dawgpound, Dumbo, Emeril, Fanny Pack, Flanigan, Labatt, Maybelline, Moby, Nemo, Pablo, Pumpkin Spice, U.T.I, Yoshi

A balmy morning at the Happiest AO on Earth. YHC wasn’t sure to expect with only 1 HC (U.T.I) and 1 other EC’er (Emeril). So to my surprise after getting back from EC…the whole Fritter Foundation and a huge clown car of 12 Oaksers pulled in! 17 Men gathered at Disney to take a ride to the dark corner known as “the Abyss”. I love this place!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: SSH x40, Good Morning x a lot, 10 Burpees OYO, Windmills x 10, Sir Fazio’s x 12 (F/R)
The Workout: A mosey over to the Abyss, PAX partnered up for some BOMBS. 1 Partner descends into the darkness, completes 10 Star Jumps, while PAX on top do AMRAP exercise and then switch roles. Exercises were: Burpees, Outlaws, Merkins, Big Boy Sit Ups, and Squats. Plank hold for the 6.

We then moseyed over to the high school where a couple of divergent hills lay before us. At the meeting point of said hills, we did Shoulder Taps IC x10, and Hand Release-Release Merkins x 10 IC. We then used the same partner groups to run to the top of each hill, return, and meet in the middle where we did Shoulder Taps x10 IC as a team for round 1, then did the Hand Release-Release Merkins x 10.

3 Indian run lines back to the flag for Mary. Lot’s of picking up the 6…great work men!
Mary: Monkey Humpers IC x 20, Hand Release-Release Merkins x 20, Monkey Humpers x 10 IC, Hand Release Merkins x 10. Pickle Pounders x 10 IC, LSF’s x 20 IC, LBC’s x 20 IC, Homer to Marge x 20 in varied cadence.

T-Claps (Recognition): The PAX for showing up. YHC can tell you it gives great confidence to a Q when a crowd shows up!
Prayer: Wallaby and his M. Shamwow! with injuries. YHC took us out. A great day and an honor to lead!

Jockeying for Position

April 26, 2021/in Paradise City /QIC: Fanny Pack
PAX: 187, Alpine, Cupid, Dawgpound, Emeril, Fanny Pack, Full House, Lipstick, Pablo, Pikachu, Skidmark, Snap

There are certain AO’s where you just know there’s a better than fair chance there will be Indian Runs. Paradise City is one of them. All of us have been doing Indian Runs long enough to know what it’s like when you are unequally matched for speed in your line. Speaking as one no longer in the Clydesdale weight class, but still in the speed class…I know. During the Gloom circle this morning, several PAX asked lots of questions and tried to choose sides to show who they’d rather be with if we did this….In the end, I’d say we were all out of luck. You get what you get and you don’t pitch a fit…though Emeril tried to and got caught.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Mosey around the upper loop soccer fields stopping at various points. At the bottom of the ramp it was SSH x 30, Good Mornings x10, Sir Fazios x 6. Then…to many groans of disapproval…a bear crawl up the full length of the ramp as a tribute to Pikachu and his affinity for bear crawls. We moved together on the mosey down to tennis court corner where we did Imperial Walkers x 10, and Hillbillies x10. PAX were instructed to grab some rocks from the drainage pit and leave them there for later work. Some comments of surprise from the PAX as Paradise City is not known for it’s use of rocks. Many rocks were noted to be small…not the greatest rock pit, but every Q should try something new. Finished our mosey down to the guardrail for some Windmills x 10 IC.
The Workout: PAX counted off by two’s and formed two Indian Run lines going in opposite directions of the same soccer field loop. We would perform 11 reps of 4 exercises at 4 stopping points along the way and decrease by 1 rep with each lap. Bottom of ramp – merkins, top of ramp – step ups/each leg, tennis court corner – Ground Pounders, guardrail – dips. Each worked their way down to at least 7 reps, wrapping up the customary 3 miles almost on the nose.
Mary: LBC’s x20 IC, WW1 x20, LSF’s x20 IC, H2M x 20 IC, Pickle Pounders x20 IC.
Announcements: May Main Event – sign up, all info on Slack. JOCOGA CSAUP – The Iliad…coming up in a few weeks in May, a few of us will head down to support our neighbor region.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Fumunga and family with the new 2.0. Wallaby’s M. YHC took us out. Great to lead today!
