Earn that Bacon

/in /by

Today was a first in F3SouthWake. A few PAX have been talking for a few years about having a 2nd F breakfast after a workout to showoff their skills on the griddle. Finally, the day was here. We had an early start (0515) and a shorter (30 min) workout to accommodate this event. YHC had the Q and wanted to PAX to earn that bacon and sausage. We arrived at 0500 to get set up. There were 23 total PAX that came out to enjoy this first time event at Possum Trot, SW’s Original AO site. YHC forgot a cone for the workout so a banana would be the substitute. So I grabbed one and here’s what some PAX called 30 mins of Hell.

Warm up
Mosey down to lower part of park for some carioca, butt kickers, high knees, and slides.
Gather at concession stand area.
SSH’s
Windmills
Willie Mayes Hayes
Plank Jacks

The Thang
Partner Dora
100 – Hand Release Merkins
200 – Shoulder Taps (each side cts as 1)
300 – Squat Jumps
Partner not doing exercises bear crawls to the banana (roughly 25 yards), complete 3 burpees, run back.

With 3 mins to go, we completed Dora gathered back to the starting lot. This is Fuquay’s finest parking lot that comes with razor blade rocks for your liking. We were about to have pancakes with our meat and cup of Joe so I figured let’s try something I’ll call a “flapjack”. Pax lays on their back. Do a WWI then roll over and complete a merkin. 10 total OYO. Everyone got to experience this never forgetting parking lot.

COT
No new PAX.
Announcements: Breach with Travis Manion event on April 28. Details on slack.
Prayers: traveling PAX, those with injuries
Quick word: Easter weekend is here. Remember Jesus and what he went through this week. Hope that everyone can worship this Sunday and reflect on his sacrifice.

This was a very successful event. Hopefully we can do this again possibly in the fall. Thanks for all the PAX that attended and especially for those that contributed to an amazing breakfast. Fonzie and LED on the griddles. Abacus with coffee. Breach and his bigger table that wouldn’t fit in his micro machine car. Thanks for the support and allowing me to lead such a strong group.

BS Out!

Greenway Parking Lot Pain

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: slide straddle hops, good mornings, willie mays hayes, sir fazio arm circles, seal claps

The Workout: Moseyed on over to the Greenway Parking Lot to do something I am retrospectively choosing to call, “Build-a-Cocaine-Bear.” Zig-zagging up and down the parking lot, we did bear crawls along each parking space line; skips across the lot; bear crawl over to the next parking space line; reverse burpee (starting from bear crawl mode – 1 merkin, jump up, then back to bear crawl) once up against each parking space curb; back to bear crawl from the curb to the end of the parking space line; skip again across the lot. We did this until we got from the farthest NW side of the lot down to the SE side.

Next, we did 11s of american hammers on one side of the lot and curbside merkins on the other side. Lunges going one way and crab walk going back.

Mary: low slow flutters, LBCs, homer to marge, pickle pounders

Announcements: Breach looking to boost our 2ndF game

Announcements:

PAX in attendance helped Gump and YHC name this AO;  we offered up three choices with an honorable mention:

Choices:  Paradise Lost, Paradise Gained, U.F.O. & Elenor Frisbee (although a nice recommendation from the crowd – Vicious Discus).   Not sure if the PAX were thrilled with our top 4.  Regardless, U.F.O. was a near unanimous vote.  Questions asked what it stood for? – – – so many recommendations & examples from the PAX – some not permitted in this PG space.

Going forward, each Q will determine the abbreviation.  Let’s have some FUN with it.

Tues nights with 3 Alarm – come out and support another new official AO (great work Wild Turkey, Yogurt, Moose…).
Tea Time tonight

Change of Command:  Nantan – Thank you Pikachu!  Welcome Breach!

 

Q-School next Sunday at 1400.  See Banana Seat.

Even the Odds Rev3

/in /by

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Met at normal AO start.  Mosey down to Sheepdog Track. Circled up for SSH, Imperial/Hillbillies, SFAC, Good Morning, and Daisy pickers.  Anticipation was high as most of the first time PAX had heard through the SLACK machine and by reputation how brutal of a beating this can be.  Several PAX were on their 2nd and 3rd round of this 1-hour long beatdown of U vs U but were still anticipating the special kind of suck it brings. YHC read the rules and tweaked how the “points” are scored.
The Workout: The ODD numbers must be done in order of sequence.  1,3,5, etc. the EVEN numbers can be done in any order you choose.  Once you start the exercise you must complete that exercise before moving on to the next number (Even or Odd). The timer is set for one hour.  You must keep track of your points for a total tally at the end of the hour.  If the exercise is not completed before the timer runs out, you do not get ANY points for completion. During the workout, the PAXs that are running can pick up any man’s six on any of the EVEN exercises.  (*note* If you are bear crawling and get tired you cannot walk around the track to complete the 400m. It’s a 400m bear crawl…not a 100-meter bear crawl and 300-meter walk).

Mary: Too tired to do it.
Announcements: F3 Xmas party.
T-Claps (Recognition):  Any HIM that showed up for this beating for their first time: Shredder, Farva, Duece, LED, 2 Dollars, Sunshine, Banana Seat  Several guys have done it twice:  Maybeline, Nemo, and Lipstick  Guys who have done it three times. Breach, Cupid, and YHC.
Prayer: Tough times during the holiday season for many men and families. Reach out.

Trotting the Boulder Bases

/in /by

Diamond Rio at Possum Trot

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Good mornings, Side Straddle Hops, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps

The Workout: 4 HIM moseyed to the rocks, grabbed our pick of the litter to play a game YHC calls Boulder Bases. Along the road surrounding the tennis courts, we started at one corner (1st base) doing rock exercises of 10 overheads, 10 triceps, 10 squats, and 10 curls for the girls. Rifle carried our rocks to 2nd base and dropped them before doing non-rock exercises at each base (20 plank jacks at 2nd base, add 15 Merkins at 3rd base, add 10 side straddle hops at “home plate,” and add 5 burpees at 1st base) before returning to 2nd base to do another round of rock exercises. Then we rifle carried the rocks to 3rd base. We carried on this routine until we could get the rocks to home plate. We changed up the non-rock exercises throughout, but kept the same structure of 20 reps, +15 reps, +10 reps, +5 burpees. At Home Plate, Diamond Rio’s 90’s hit song Nowhere Bound was played on repeat the entire workout because…why not?

Mary: shoulder stretches, downward dog, and some cobra for a quick wrap up

Announcements: South Wake picnic July 30th

T-Claps (Recognition): T-Claps for @Dangle, the pride of Wilson, NC, joining us in the gloom at F3 South Wake and cleaning up the Quay Walmart in the daylight!
