I Can’t Feel My Arms!

PAX: , , , , ,

Great workout this morning men. Way to make the most of the last day of unseasonably warm weather for at least the next few days. Thanks for getting out there and holding each other accountable! It was my honor to lead you this morning (with Dovetail’s help).

FNGs:

None

Warm Up:

(Led by Dovetail)
Line up – everyone did SSH while 2 PAX ran down 2 parking spaces, next 2 PAX ran to the 4th parking space, and so on until we got to the end of the parking lot.

KickBacks x 10 – each leg (not sure of the proper F3 term – if there is one) – just like it sounds – kick your leg back to work those glutes and stretch the hammies.

Sir Fazio Arm Circles – x 10 forward / x 10 reverse

Imperial Walkers/ Hillbillies x 10 each

Good mornings x 10

The Workout:

We broadened our horizons a bit this morning and used the semi-square sidewalk around the flagpole near the entrance of the community center. Nice change of scenery. One we moseyed into position, we commenced with some 4 corners:
Bear crawl to Corner 1 – Standard Merkins X15
Lunge Walk to Corner 2 – WW2’s x15
Bear Crawl to Corner 3 – Carolina Dry Docks x15
Lunge Walk to Corner 4 – LBC’s x15 IC
Mosey around the parking lot, then Rinse and Repeat for 2 more rounds.
At this point we could still (somewhat) feel our arms, so we moseyed over to the pavilion and partnered up for the next bit…
Partner 1 does a lap around the parking lot while partner 2 does exercise – P1 picks up where P2 left off
Irkins x 100
Derkins x 100
Dips x 100
We ran out of time so we had to forego the 300 squats that were planned for the last round, but YHC didn’t hear too many complaints.

Mary:

(Also led by Dovetail)
American Hammers x 15 IC
Modified Box Cutters (hourglass shape) x 10 IC
Side Crunches (not aware if there is a different F3 name for these) – crunches while laying on your side – x 10 on each side
X Men Crunches – a worse version of Boat Canoes – x 7

Announcements:

Check Slack & FB

FNGs: None
Warm Up:

Mosey lap around the parking lot. YHC confirmed that

YHC confirmed that 16-bit was running the Holly Springs Half Marathon, so per the pre-blast promise the workout had to stay HS Half friendly. This played into the selection for the main event.

SSH x15 IC

Cherry Picker x10 IC

Standard Merkin x10

Breakdancer x10 IC

The Workout:

Mosey over to the wall and YHC retried his trusty NCSU deck of cards.

Different suites as follows:

Diamonds – Diamond Merkins

Hearts – Balls to the Wall IC

Clubs – Squats (would have been Star Jumps if 16-bit wasn’t there)

Spades – dealers choice

All numbered cards were that many reps, all face cards were 10. Pax were teased about there being jokers but weren’t told what they were until we found one half way through.

Jokers – 5x Double Merkin Burpees. Shuffle the joker back into the remaining cards

Pax were told that the deck workout would end when only 2 cards were in the deck. We ended up drawing 14 Jokers for 70 double merkin burpees! Lots of calls for no whammy by the end.

Mary:

Circle up in the parking lot.

Successful Launch of Red October – New AO in FV

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , ,

Red October made her maiden voyage on a gorgeous, crisp, autumn morning with pleasant temperatures in the 60s!  Dauber was giddy with excitement about bringing all of his kettlebell knowledge he had learned while under the tutelage of Sir Dawgpound and Nemo during many early morning study sessions at Crazy Ivan.  Unfortunately, Dauber arrived to the launch site at 5:29 and dawdled getting over to the circle of 16 PAX eager to start their Monday off right.  Double D penalized the lads with 5 burpees OYO for his “tardiness” and handed off the warm-up duties to Sprinkler.

FNGs: None.

Warm Up:  As announced through social media, Red October would join the Mutiny PAX for both warm-up and COT.  Sprinkler was “volun-told” to lead us and did an amazing job.  We warmed up with the following exercises:  quick jog around path, SSH, merkins, Fozio Arm Circles, Daisy pickers, IW and HB.

The Workout:  PAX of 7 moseyed with kettle bell in hand to the tennis courts.  A brief discussion about technique and modifications ensued with nods from all PAX eager to begin their KB work out.

The following exercises were executed using a kettle bell:

10 count Goblet Squat, 10 cadence count merkin-tap, 10 count swing (Rinse and Repeat)

10 count Bent-Over row, 10 cadence count chill cut plank-tap, 10 count halo (R & R)

10 count Lawn mower pull (L&R), 10 cadence count OH press, 10 count Midget love handles (R & R)

10 count figure 8 (5L, 5R), 10 cadence count twists back to center, 10 Arm thrusters (L,R) (R & R)

10 count pulls, 10 count straight leg/tricep pull, 10 rear lunges (L,R) (R & R)

PAX divided into pairs (Forceps had to depart for a flight); PAX without KB executed LBCs, PAX executed farmer’s walk back and forth with two kettle bells at their sides.  Crab walk to center and back from opposite sides of tennis courts.

BTTFence for a 30 cadence count

Mary:  Red October PAX were joined by Mutiny PAX after Mutiny PAX played with some cement blocks and drank lattes watching Red October PAX get sweaty.  40 count Jack Webb’s in the grass with some AB exercises too.  Double D rocks!

Announcements:  HSHM, F3 Christmas party, CSAUP

T-Claps (Recognition):  LED and his SHOCK ABSORBERS handling all of the kettle bell weight PAX ordered!

Prayer:  Double D took us out with words of wisdom.  Unspoken, spoken.  16 Bit leg issue, Quiver job/home sale.

A sincere thank you to those PAX who came out today for a different workout in FV and those PAX who sent kind words my way in preparation for this AO.  A true privilege to lead you men. – Dauber

Just Back For The Weekend

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , ,

PAX: LED, Fonzie, Doc, Finkle, Norm, Modify, H1N1, FedEx, Yosemite, Sprinkler

EC: Norm

FNGs: None

It was great to see Norm back in the gloom, even though he was just back for the weekend and heading back to training after Mutiny.

Warm Up: We did some SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Arm Circles, and Overhead Claps all in cadence

The Workout: We started at the short wall under the parking lot shelter for step ups and squats. After that we went to the concession stand wall for some BTW and Shoulder Taps.  Then we headed to the parking lot behind Club Works for walking lunges into burpee to the rock pile where I told the Pax to get a medium size rock and John Cusack to the parking lot on the side of Club Works where we started with some Merkins, on each “up” we slid the rock under us to the left or right, then we bear crawled across the lot with the rock.  On this side we did Rut Rows into overhead alternating lunges and then bear crawled back with the rock to do some more sliding rock Merkins. After we bear crawled back to the other side, with the rock, we did some alternating around the world to squat to curl for the girls. Told the Pax to John Cusack back for some rinse and repeat. Before we returned the rocks we partnered up so P1 can do Merkins with a rock on his back as P2 did squats. We returned the rocks and I told the Pax that we would be heading back the way we came in so we did walking lunges into burpee back to the the parking circle.

Mary: Ran out of time

Announcements: Check Facebook and Slack

T-Claps (Recognition):  Norm and his family as he heads back to training

Prayer: FedEx’s son and co worker, who was bitten by a dog, and Norm’s friend who’s about to have a baby

 

 

Always an honor to lead you fine gentlemen!!!!  SYITG!!
