Cletus: Yogurt 4 yr & 57 yr – Takin’ Care of Business

/in /by

EC: Abe, Alpine, Bleeder, Cupid, Lipstick, Skidmark, Pikachu, UTI. In May 2018, @Skidmark invited me to an F3 workout. Probably the easiest headlock ever. On May 13, 2022, 27 men posted to celebrate my 4 years of F3 and 57 years of life. When we came rolling in from EC at 5:27 am, I was overwhelmed by more than two dozen men, circled up, ready to go.

Special invitation: Yogi, who was at my first workout. When it was time for my F3 name, after fruitless discussion around Raleigh native, environmental worker, and more, I got the “What was your first concert?” question. Answer: BTO, you know, Bachman Turner Overdrive, who sing, Takin’ Care of Business. Dorton Arena, ~1975. Yeah, Yogi chimed in, Takin’ Care of Business – TCoB! Slide Rule heard “TCB” and immediately thought TCBY – The Country’s Best Yogurt. Ok, your name is YOGURT!

Warmup: 1) Run to top of Ivan lot. 2) Circle up for 57 SSHs. Count off: 27! 3) Mosey to amphitheater lawn area. 4) Jack Webbs to 30; 19 pickle pounders, 19 squats, 19 Catalina wine mixers. (19 x 3 = 57) 5)  Mosey up to greenway, on your six. Guantanamo. Wide range of pushes from nice and easy to brutal by Pikachu. Long time to circulate 27 PAX. Mosey to truck to pick up gloves. Note: Should have picked up speaker too! Mosey to rock pile. Each PAX grab a rock.

During the workout, I missed several counts and received much-deserved grilling. During my days of Q’ing Cletus, I was never known for counting.

The Thang 1: Count off in 1s and 2s. Simple exercise – 1s bear crawl to top of parking lot and back, while pushing your rock. 2s do AMRAP curls for the girls (Round 1), rut rohs (Round 2), prisoner squats (Round 3).

The Thang 2: Circle up in “grassy” lot. Similar to Banana Seat’s and Pikachu’s AC/DC Thunderstruck workout, I used Takin’ Care of Business as the song and we did a burpee with every “Takin’ Care of Business.” That’s 27 (compared to 31 for Thunderstruck). Volume was way too low, so yes, should have grabbed speaker while at truck. Anyway, everyone grilled me for that.

Mary: Circle up on tennis courts, where it all began. Big boy sit-ups, Pickle pounders, Box cutters, Protractor. Have a nice day.

Announcements: #Junechallenge and more on Slack. Highlighter running for Congress.

Prayer requests: Yogi prepared a list of goals at the suggestion of his pastor. Boy George selling house and moving family. Highlighter pointed out those who need help mentally may not be reaching out. Find them.

Message: Thanks for all the F3 support over the years. It’s a real privilege to be part of this group. Each one of you has been a positive influence in some way. Thanks for keeping the F3 SouthWake standard high. F3 is the real gift.

FNGs: none
Warm Up: Nemo took the warm up. We did a quick jog and then went into some SSH, Good Mornings, Sir Fozio Arm Circles and a few other things (memory is failing me at the moment).
The Workout: Woody took over for round 1. We gathered at the bank and partnered up. 6 Patty Cake Merkins at the ATMs. Run to the other side, 6 more Patty Cake Merkins. Run back. We did 5 rounds.

YHC (Abe) had round 2. We ran around the back of the shopping center and grabbed 2 palm-sized rocks. Lined up on the wall, we held People’s Chair with arms extended. 10 count down the line for a total of 70. Recover. Side arm raises with the rocks, 10 in cadence. We repeated for a total of 3 rounds.

Next up was McNugget for round 3. We lined up on the guard rail for some dips and durkins. 10 each, 3 rounds.

Last but certainly not least, Wild Turkey for round 4. Over to “that hill” for 7s. Burpees at the bottom, star jumps at the top.

With everyone properly beat, we headed back for Mary.

The Taper

/in , /by

There was a vote yesterday between two routes YHC posted. BUT since I drew the voting maps I got to choose what we did despite Lipstick and UTI’s attempt a voter fraud.

FNGs: None but we need some
Warm Up: Count off. Red messed up the count and has to repeat K math.
The Workout: 5 miles on about the flattest course I could design.
Mary: We stretched, somewhat and counted off again.
Announcements: The sweet smell of trash has made it’s way to Fuquay so there will be a cleanup on Sunday after the ruck. It was promised to be the “most fun trash pickup ever.” See LED or Breach. Lawn Dart has made contact with a swim coach to prepare pax for upcoming tri’s. If you’re interested contact Lawn Dart. Let’s not waste this person’s time.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: YHC took us out.

A Mix of Complaints and Cheers

/in /by

Ya know…everyone is a critic. At Crazy Ivan, it is incumbent on the Q to choose the playlist, so I always choose mine. Today, there were equal numbers of complaints versus kudos for the playlist. “Hell yeah..this is my jam”, “I’m down with Fanny on this one”, “Thowin it back…yeah!”, It’s too loud”, “what the hell are they singing?”, “This makes me wanna go bust stuff up”, “Crazy Ivan…when Fanny’s the Q, you leave angrier then when you got here.”  Good stuff right there.
Warm Up: SSH x 25, Good Mornings, Seal Claps, Frankensteins, Spinal Rotation.
The Workout: This was a “recover on your time workout”, so the timer just kept going. It was a 1:15/:45 Tabata/AMRAP with the Kettlebells. During the 1:15, YHC would call an exercise. During the :45 PAX had a choice of Boobity-Boobitys, Plank Hold, Swings, or Snatches. Rest was entirely up to the PAX. Some PAX took it upon themselves to stretch, run, etc. during the :45. OK. Exercises that YHC called during the 1:15 segments were: Bell Merkins, Bridge Pullover,  Bobbity Boobity, Squats, Suitcase Lift, 1 leg Deadlift, Lawnmower, Halo, Figure 8, Curls for the Girls, 1 Arm Shoulder Press, Ground Pounders, Plank Pull Through, Midget Cookie Pouch, Midget Love Handle, Swings.
Mary: Bad form plank and downward dog, with some runner’s stretches. Awful Q examplehood!
Announcements: Long Ass Run, 2/12…details on Slack.
T-Claps (Recognition): Ponzi…cotter…back out in the Gloom!
Prayer: Lots of relatives sick or injured. Emeril daughter/family with just being a teenager! YHC took us out and ended this debacle!

Was I Missed?

/in /by

After the callout from Dumbo last week, I realized I hadn’t been to Paradise City in a bit. Well, YHC decided to throw down a “no secrets here” workout, where everyone looped the entire park more than several times. I think around 3.2-3.5 miles, depending on watches, etc. All Pax stepped up to take several turns in calling 10 count exercises at our stops along the way.

FNG’s: none.
Warm Up: Warm up lap around the entire parking/soccer field L loop. Stopped at bottom of ramp, Top of Stairs, Corner of Sportsmanship, Guardrail, top of hill by tennis courts, over by dumpsters, knee wall at top of ramp. Exercises along the way were: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Frankensteins, Irkins, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Shoulder Taps…all x10.

The Workout: Split in two groups, that ran opposite directions, all stopping at the same spots, to do a PAX choice of a 10 ct. exercise. Two rounds were Indian runs, two rounds were Mosey. We finished a last round together until reaching the basketball courts…literally as time expired.
Mary: built in
Announcements: Long Ass Run Sat. Feb 12th on the ATT…details from Skidmark.
T-Claps (Recognition): Good to see Tetanus back out at Paradise City! Thanks Dumbo for the push!
Prayer: Spoken/Unspoken. Thanks fellas for the opportunity to lead!
