No Running in the Cave

/in /by

Lots of chat going into this workout about if YHC could Q a no running workout. Happy to hear that my reputation preceeds me – hopefully this broke the mold a bit.

FNGs:

None today
Warm Up:

SSH x50

Straight leg hinge x10 each leg

Sir Fazio Arm Circles x10 forward/backward

Spinal Twist x10

Windmill x10

The Workout:

5x burpees

5x turkish getups with the mace – pax were told they could all be on the same arm. They knew that that meant.

4 corners starting at the entrance to the parking deck – at each corner:

  • 10x ballistic curls IC
  • 10x switching lunges IC
  • 10x lever deadlift each side
  • 20x low slow flutter w/mace cantilevered overhead

To transition along the short way pax plank shuffled and pulled the mace through. This seemed like a good idea on paper but was actually terrible – mainly because of the noise.

To transition the long way pax performed walking grave diggers. T-claps to Dawgpound and Emeril for excellent form demonstration here.

After 1 lap we repeated 5x burpees and 5x turkish getups. We then did overhead press while moseying back to the far corner for another set of our exercises, then moseyed back to the start doing overhead press for our last set.

Mary:

20x American Hammers (WITH MACE) – apparently this was a lot. Lots of mumble chatter, not a lot of hammers by the end.

20x dying cockroach (WITH MACE) – this was an awesome modification to this exercise. On softer ground would be nice, but this should come back.

20x Homer to Marge (WITH MACE) – nothing needs to be said.

Announcements:

Bass lake mulch is DONE. Huge t-claps to all pax that got out there, some 4+ times.

Holly Springs Food Cupboard workday coming up. Keep an eye out for an announcement from Dumbo.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Dawgpound and Emeril for recognizing the need for another no-running option and teaching us all how to (kinda) know what we’re doing with these maces.

Prayer:

Moby and his family for his dad’s passing. Fumunga and his M for their expecting.

YHC took us out.

SO EXCITED to be working on a Backblast… It was amazing to be back out, staking a Flag and being officially recognized as F3 in the gloom today!  I had a plan in mind, but like plans they are flexible.

AGS – Below the Radar

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up:  OYO

The Workout:  3 PAX Rucked on the greenway; remaining PAX ran throughout HS.  A little humid with temps in the 60s.   Social distancing in place.  Lots of coordination by PAX meeting up to run or ruck with all AOs suspended.  YHC had signed up to Q weeks ago and felt obligated to show up for AGS.  And I did not want to disappoint Mookie.  Vaseline  (Vasoline – I think both are listed) was grateful for PAX coming out today and at his run yesterday at U-turn with Norm.  Did not plant the shovel flag.  No one had F3 gear on.  I guess we were trying to fly below the radar. Great mumble chatter as always on the greenway.  POTS added comedic value when he finally decided to join Sprinkler and me after sleeping through his alarm clock.  POTS is the real deal running with his ruck on!  Nice work.  After 3 plus miles on the greenway and various running miles on the streets/sidewalks of HS, we circled up for COT at 7:00 am.  The sky was gorgeous BTW.

Mary:  no time

Announcements:  See message on social media from F3 leadership; try and stay connected with your buddies

T-Claps (Recognition):  Great half marathon by Deadbolt yesterday on the ATT.  Shredder put in over 40 miles on his bike!  Lots of PAX posting how they are keeping busy with various workouts and activities.   Dauber reached his goal of Q at twenty different AO sites in 2020.  Holding off completing the remainder AO locations until we officially start back up.

Prayer:  Unspoken; Keep you and your family safe.
