Did We Win or Lose Today?

/in /by

A muggy, wet morning out at the grave left no man dry upon completion of a workout led by YHC and a deck of cards.

FNG’s: no sir
Warm Up: A mosey lap around the various lots of Kenny’s Grave stopping for exercises, which were: SSH x40, Windmills x12, Seal Claps x12, Overhead Claps x12, Daisy Pickers x12, Mountain Climbers x40.
The Workout: We split into 2 teams of 4 pax each. Each team had to complete 100 burpees total. So one man would do some burpees while the others did Plank Jacks, SSH, and LBC’s. PAX would rotate until all burpees were complete. this was a great routine I borrowed from Yoda.

We then took another mosey lap and did some fast feet along the way. We then moved on to the deck of cards, which we got though about 45 of them. Hearts = Merkins, Diamonds = Diamond Merkins, Clubs = alternate lunges IC, Spades = Squats, Face Card Hearts = 5 burpees, Face Card Diamonds = 5 count BTTW per PAX, Face Card Spades = 10 squat jumps, Face Card Clubs = People’s Chair 10 count per PAX, Jokers = 10 Turkish Get-Ups.

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

Tennis at the trot

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Nice mosey around the tennis court stoping at each parking lot light to do a prescribed exercise.  Along the way we divided into 1’s and 2’s and picked up our coupon (rock) to use over at the hill.
The Workout:

At the hill 1’s and 2’s partnered up to do circuit exercises.  Going up the hill one partner would do a rock climber (bear crawl with rock) at the top we did in sets of 10, 15, 20, and 25 Dips, Irkins, Tricep Ext, and curls for the girls.  Partner at the bottom was doing Mountain climbers, Monkey Humpers, Marionettes, and then Mexican Jumping beans.

After much mumblechatter and @Redenbacher almost loosing a leg from a falling rock down the hill we moved over to the tennis courts for a little game of F3 Tennis.  Rules: ball can only bounce once on your side, player bounce player not player bounce bounce, serve has to make it over net from the back rectangle, opposing team gave prescribed exercise if the team got a penalty.  Playing to 10.
Mary: We did Low slow flutter, boxcutters, E2Ks, boat canoes, and pickle pounders (to get ready for Father’s Day of course)
Announcements: June 26th F3 picnic at Harris Lake, June 12th SIHP bed build, Memorial Day Murph, Red shirts on Friday

Are you bad listeners or am I a bad leader?

/in /by

FNGs: Not today
Warm Up: Mosey to a wall for BTW and a count off of PAX… It took us about 6 times to actually get a count off. The precedence was set for a chatty workout with nobody listening to YHC.  We began to mosey to other side of lot for SSH x15. PAX was surprised by the x15 on SSH, as YHC is known for his x50 or even x100 to begin workouts.  YHC threw a curveball on the SSH, as he called them again, but this time as 21’s.  Q calls out 2 count SSH for the first 1-5 and then 6-21 are silent. If the PAX don’t finish all at the same time in cadence on 21, repeato….Lets just say we repeated quite a few times.  We even had some OYO Peeping Lipsticks when the PAX struck out 3x for not being quiet.   We continued the mosey to another lot and did more warmups.

The Workout: Partner up and suicides across lot with peeping lipsticks.  6 suicide stops- Pax 1 goes to first and back while Pax 2 does peeping lipsticks, rotate partners after each suicide stop, until we got to the end.  Pax had a hard time understanding and also questioned the legitimacy of a peeping lipstick (turkesh getup with a star jump)  It’s in the exicon!   Next we mosey to the bus stop where YHC had coupon pain stations setup.  Partner 1 worked with coupon while partner 2 ran out and back. Switch roles and then switch stations as we rotated through 7 stations.  Stations as followed: Merkin Jack Webb with Cinderblock (2 stations) Weighted jump rope, grave diggers with 20lb mace, death march with 10lb mace, kettlebell swings 35lb, kettlebell tricep extensions 15lb. Closed out with 21s again to test our progress. It only took 3 times to nail it, Pots even turned his back to the Pax!
Mary:  Mary caught the bus and we kept the heartrate up until the end!
Announcements: June 26th Picnic at Harris Lake, Families invited, Emeril is smoking 32 Pork Butts
