Day 2 2015 Throwback Week – Possum Trot

/in /by

Day 2 of 2015 Throwback week truly felt like an OG workout. YHC pulled into the lot, planted the flag, hid the speaker on the court, then walked over to the larger than normal crowd. To my surprise there were 4-5 HIM that were at my first post and some other familiar faces I haven’t seen a quite a while. After pounding and greeting each PAX, it was 0530. The F3 mission statement took place along with the 5 core principles. Fram then decided to jog up so we could get our morning share of 5 burpees. Good thing we didn’t do these back in the day when Tardy would show up 2-3 mins into every workout. Here’s what happened at the Trot.

Warm Ups
We saluted New Mexico with follow the leader quick feet and slides on the tennis courts to start off then moseyed down to the concession stand area.
– Smurf Jacks
– Imperial Squat Walkers
– Bat Wings
– Slaloms

Wall Work
PAX found a spot on the small wall for dirkens and box jumps. Started with 10 each then 9 each all the way down to 1 each.

Jacob’s Ladder (another classic by New Mexico)
PAX lined up on the hill next to the baseball field. Back peddle up the hill, 3 star jumps, run down the hill, increasing burpees for each trip down. PAX did this 7 times.
Two lines for an Indian run back up to the tennis courts.

Tennic Courts
Each IR line stayed together for Chilly Broad Jumps across all four courts. PAX lined up about 2-3 feet apart in a chill-cut plank. Guy at the end broad jumps over each PAX legs until the end then gets in line. Repeat until we got to the fence.

Bearicides – PAX bear crawled to the end of the first court, ran back, perfomed 5 hand release merkins. Repeat to the end of second, third and yes all the way down to the fourth court.

Sally – PAX performed the squats while listening to Sally song. Quite a burner.

Mary – W2CC x15 IC
– Strict sit ups
– Side plank ups L
– Side plank ups R
– Reverse LBCs
– Mtn climber twist (touch knee to opposite elbow)

COT
Announcements: Paint the fence 2nd F, F3 Picnic, Rico’s soccer kids accomplishment
Prayers: All mainly unspoken

Great turnout today for this workout. It was such a surprise to see guys I worked out with for the first 5+ years in F3 all the time. Hope to see them more soon. Thanks for letting me lead such a strong group of HIM.

A Heavy Bag in the Nut

/in /by

YHC hasn’t been to the Nut  in a while, so I figured why not drag out the heavy bag and dumbbells for the festivities today! Was stoked to see that 8 Pax arrived on scene with various wisecracks about that big, long bag! We made the rounds in several areas on campus today for a complete whole body beatdown!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: A quick mosey over to the bus loop for some Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, and Overhead Claps.
The Workout: Annies x 10 IC followed by Mountain Climbers x 10 IC. Repeato x3. Jack Squats (1 squat = 3 jump squats), we did this up to 5.

Another quick mosey to the front parking lot where we partnered up for running opposite directions to the stop sign or light pole respectively for 5 Star Jumps. Once meeting in the middle, partners did Patty Cake Merkins x10. We did 4 rounds of this.

We then headed over to the far side of the school at the long carpool lane for a set of BLIMPS suicides to the light poles. 5 Burpees, 10 Lunge Jumps, 15 Imperial Walker IC, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jacks, 30 Squats. Each time at the end we did 10 SSH. Once finished we lined up for a couple rounds of Guantanamo.

Moseyed up to the front of the school for the heavy bag routine. 1 PAX uses the bag as a bench with the 45 lb. dumbbells for 25 reps. That PAX called out an AMRAP exercise for the rest of us. Not all are included here but I think: American Hammers, Dips, Irkins, Dirkins, Homer to Marge, lap around the lot, Pickle Pounders, LBC, Freddie Mercury. Step Ups, Squats, LSF’s, etc.
Mary: baked into the final routine!!!!
Announcements: LONG ASS RUN Saturday…check the Slack…show up!
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Spoke/unspokedn. Deadbolt stepped up to take us out!

B.A.S.K.E.T.B.A.L.L.

/in /by

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Daisy Pickers, SSH, Sir Fazio Arm Circles (Forward & Reverse), Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies
The Workout:

We started with some wall work, consisting of BTTW and People’s Chair. During BTTW, each PAX called a 7 count (IC). While in People’s Chair, YHC called overhead claps–35 IC–to serve as our timer.

 

We moseyed on to the basketball courts for some free throw drills. We formed a circle around the basketball goal, and each PAX took a turn shooting a free throw. If the PAX missed, a penalty of more reps was incurred for the resulting exercise, however, if the free throw was made, fewer reps had to be performed. The series of exercises spelled B.A.S.K.E.T.B.A.L.L:

B = Bobby Hurleys

A = Alternating Side Squats

S = Squats

K = Knerkins

E = BurpEes

T = Tempo Merkins

B = Burpees

A = American Hammers

L = Low slow flutter kicks

L = LBCs

1 PAX–BlueHen–valiantly volunteered to shoot a free throw on behalf of the other PAX to determine how many sets of suicides would follow. As the free throw was made, PAX only had to sprint once to the end of the parking lot and back.

We proceeded to two sets of 4 corners. For the first set, we cycled through various types of merkins: wide grip, diamond, ranger, and regular. For the second set, we cycled through some more merkins, squats, and American Hammers to transition into Mary.

Mary: We finished with a few minutes of Mary, PAX choice: Box cutters, Monkey humpers, and Plank

Announcements: Unspoken prayers. YHC took us out.

Prayer: Check Slack
