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

FNGs:

None today
Warm Up:

Warmed up w/Mutiny – SSH, Good Morning, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios courtesy of Martini
The Workout:

Shamelessly borrowed from a Skidmark Q at Ivan. For each set of exercises YHC went through a quick progression going over form. Pax then went through the set and ran a loop around the nearest parking lot island, noting what order they finished in. They then competed with their nearest partner with the “winner” adding 1x burpee or 1x turkish getup to try and even the field.

Exercise Group 1
5 burpees
10 Kettlebell Squats – Kettlebell held overhead in arm
15 Presses
20 Kettlebell Swings

Exercise Group 2
5 Turkish Get ups
10 Snatches
15 Overhead Press (two hands)
20 Squats

We went through each grouping 3 total times

Mary:
Moseyed to the tennis courts for 20x Low Slow Flutter and LBCs

Mutiny pax joined us and we also stole M4Life’s Q from the recent JocoGa CSAUP – we played B-Sides (aka Bring Sally Up) with pax in plank hold going from chill cut to regular and back as told to bring sally up/down.
Announcements:
Breach offering up $10 per pax wearing red on Friday, doubled if >75% participate. Funds go to Travis Manion foundation.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Woody – brand new to F3 and is on a roll!

Billy Madison Visits To Be Determined

FNGs: Welcome (Wilson Robertson) Drum Circle! He went to App State and said it was a pretty groovy experience..  Thanks for bringing  him out Fonzie.

YHC made my inaugural Q at TBD so I wanted to make sure PAX got their money worth on this fine Wednesday morning in the gloom.  Seven of us headed out for Extra Credit with great pick ups of the 6 along the way. Returned to the flag for about 10 more PAX ready to get after it. Fonzie let me know we had an FNG so I laid down the disclaimer and off we went.

Mop Handles and Mumble Chatter

/in /by

Great group out at Ground Pou… I mean, Sheepdog, this morning. Some strong mumble chatter was in play. I won’t go into details but there was talk of an F3 South Wake calendar and there was some discussion about a mop handle. Been a long week for many of us and so I was looking to bring a little different variety. Ironic thing is, I ended up taking pieces of the previous day Fram-led beatdown. It was that memorable that I just figured I wanted to keep doing it. Several in play for EC, gotta love that later start at the end of a long week.

FNGs: Nope
Warm Up: Long jog around to back of school, circled up for variety of exercises. This was second time this week I included Good Mornings ICx20. Guys are always asking for it, so what’s wrong with a little extra time to stretch?
The Workout: Lined up along the side of the school. Kept it simple. We would run down the length of the road and do a plank hold together on a 30 count, then run back. When we returned we did SSH ICx100. Kept this pattern but on the return we changed it up each time and did LBCs ICx75, Mt Climbers ICx0, Low Slow Flutter ICx25, and American Hammer ICx10. Good mix of jog/plank/core work. Then we circled up and Shredder led a 10-min lesson on some self-defense moves. If you have ever been to Sheepdog, this is something you are missing out on. Shredder walks the PAX through some basic techniques, provides demo, and you practice. Look, nobody is gonna become an expert in 10 mins, but this is a great addition to a workout and you get to learn a few things along the way. T Claps to Shredder for sharing his knowledge with the PAX.
Mary: Mosey back to flag and a Sprinkler/Redenbacher 2-man jailbreak broke out. Circled up for a couple quick rounds of LBC, 6 hold, Low Slow Flutter and Homer to Marge. Then we did a 5-min arms and shoulder stretch routine. Figured after some of the workouts this week we could use a little extra. This is when the mumble chatter reached Ground Pounder status. It was almost like Dauber was there.
Announcements: CSAUP, others check Slack
T-Claps (Recognition): Lots this morning. Great to see Mr. T back in the gloom. Red for piling up points and running strong. Maybelline putting in the work too. Shredder showing great leadership during the challenge. I could go on but you get the point.
Prayer: Unspoken, YHC took us out.

EVENing the ODDs

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Mosey from parking lot to track. Hamstring Stretch, Quad Stretch, Pull knee to chest
The Workout:

PAX were instructed on the ground rules for the ME: ODD numbers must be completed in sequence. EVEN numbers are interchangeable throughout the non-stop 45 min timer. I/C exercises were to be done in proper cadence timing and lap work on EVEN’s were to be held to the spot you stopped on the track. i.e. Don’t start walking on bear crawls if your tired. PAX were politely told to have some self-respect and be honorable in their effort. To quote Pablo “I’ll be checking accountability and I ain’t your Daddy.”

PAX were instructed to pick up the 6 on EVEN numbered exercises. Flip a tire, bear crawl an extra distance, throw an extra rep or cadence rep to the 6’s way. Plenty of help given during lack of “will” moments.

I don’t have every PAX’s completed Events. (Each # is an event) But I can come back and edit as they come through.

Nemo: 6 , Mookie: 5, Breach: 6, 16 Bit: 4, Fanny Pack: 6, Maybeline: 7, Cupid: 6, Pablo: 6, FRAM: 6, Roger Roger: ? , Mad Dog 20/20: ? Floe/Joe: ? , Hardy: ?,

Lots of lesson to be learned from this: Help someone, Ask for help, Get past the surface of fear and pain, True Accountability, Steel sharpens steel.

Mary: Not time
Announcements: None (Too tired)
T-Claps (Recognition): Maybeline, Breach and Fanny Pack for EC.  ALL the PAX who committed to the workout. ALL PAX for competing against YOU vs YOU.
Prayer: Pablo’s Family Friend, Roger Roger’s extend families medical issues, Floe/Joe medical issues with family and wife’s getting job opportunities.

Thunder YOGA w/ 19 PAX

/in /by

FNGs:  Welcome Jukebox, future patrolman who loves to sing.  Thanks for bringing this young man out Pumpkin Spice.  Good to see your college basketball playing, former HS Hawk XC star, Cobbler, out to the gloom too.
Warm Up:  many PAX participated in VC.  Bike ride +10 miles.  PAX moist.
The Workout:  YOGA, much needed.  Look, I will simply attach a pic of the movements we executed.  Special thanks to Cancun who provided the play by play and color commentary of all the moves attempted.  I tried finding the prisoner terminology he used on this sheet I downloaded from the internet but was unable to locate the verbiage.  I will defer to Cancun for his intimate experiences.  Quite flexible for a 6’4” 260 pound dude.  Awesome.  The much anticipated spread Eagle was executed flawlessly by many.  Only a few PAX let out some flatulence.
Mary:  lots of stretching, balance stuff.  Full 45 mins of pure awesomeness IMO.
Announcements:  CSAUP, Murph, bed build, 5Ks, see Slack/FB
T-Claps (Recognition):  Happy Birthday Cancun!  All PAX killing it during May challenge.  Remember to listen to your body and REST.
Prayer:  Interrupted by geese, goslings and churlish children, YHC chided them and finished up in thoughtful, loving prayers only a seasoned parent could pull off.

Honored to lead – Dauber.

No Frills, Just Thrills at Disney

/in /by

19 PAX for multiples of 56 at Disney. Indian runs and classic F3 exercises took us 3 miles around the park. Solid work by all! Great way to celebrate 56 years. Pleasure to lead.

EC: UTI, Maybelline, Nemo, Fanny Pack, YHC

ME: @Warren Brendle @LipSync @Fanny Pack @Banana Seat @U.T.I. @Bobby Dall @Bobby Boucher @Kosher @Fancy Feast @187 @Nemo @Mookie @Maybelline @Roger Roger @Fanny Pack @Banana Seat @Lipstick @Warbucks YHC

Today’s theme: 56 in recognition of my 56th bday.

Warm up: 14×4 = 56 – 14 good mornings, 14 goofballs, 14 arm circles, 14 somethings

Kickoff: At any site, you gotta use your resources. Here at Disney, I love the artificial turf.

In a format similar to 11s, we lined up for burpees on one side and select exercises on the other side. Reps of burpees times other side reps = 56

  • Round 1: 1 burpee, run to opposite, 56 SSHs (1×56)
  • Round 2: 2 burpees, run, to opposite, 28 squats (2×28)
  • Round 3: 4 burpees, run to opposite, 14 Turkish getups (4×14)
  • Round 4: 8 burpees, run to opposite, 7 mtn climbers (8×7)

Indian run to carpool drop-off circle.

  • Divide into groups of 4/5.
  • Sevens (7s) with WWIIs at bottom, star jumps at top, GO!

Indian run, split into two groups, back to turf center circle.

Mary: Just enough time for a full round of Jack Webbs (30). This is one of my Disney favorites that I learned at one of Nemo’s workouts. Another good one for that soft artificial turf.

I’ve been ending my Q’s with a blast of classic rock. Today it was Chicago’s 25 or 6 to Four. No particular theme tied in. Spotify played this for me when I was searching songs. This classic is among many, many others that were routinely played on the radio in the 1970s, which was the heart of my childhood (age 5-15). Hope you enjoyed!

Announcements: LipSync shared successful F3 South Wake to support Brandon, who he routinely pushes in Brandon’s wheelchair on runs. Brandon has cerebral palsey and lives with his mother. Her cleaning business is way down due to Covid-19. F3 South Wake more than covered their immediate needs. Also Warbucks announced a challenge at Cletus to earn the Q for U-Turn on Saturday.

Prayer: unspoken

TClaps: All for keeping me motivated. Fanny Pack for the May Challenge–great idea, great execution!

Split up into 2 groups. The pax went around the circle. Pax will hold plank. Pax in the back will Burpee and bear crawl to the front. When we got to the fence we did 5 each leg Bulgarian squats. I will think about how I can improve this workout.
