So great to have 29 in the gloom this morning to help me celebrate 6 years with F3.  This group has changed my life and I hope to continue paying that forward.  It’s a whole lot more than a workout!!!

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, Windmill, Imperial Walkers, Mosey, Good Morning, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Mosey

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

15 PAX showed to test their strength around the track 4 times. This was brutal but we all pushed ourselves and got stronger.

We started at 0515 with a few warm up exercises. Then it was on like Donkey Kong.

Lap 1 – broad jump burpee
Lap 2 – lunge walk
Lap 3 – bear crawl
Lap 4 – run

Most guys finished up right around the hour mark. We had 3 ruckers join for COT. Maybe we can do this again to see how guys improve. Or not!

COT then prayer.

Awesome job guys. Thanks for joining me in another stupid idea.

FNGs:   Not today

Warm Up: Lap around Ting with stops for SSH, Frankensteins, dips at the guard rail, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, and Hillbillies.

The Workout:  PAX counted off into groups of 2 and headed out on our field trip to Artic Ridge Way, travelling in a scout run. When we arrived at Artic Ridge Way, YHC informed the group that we would run to the top of the hill and do 7 sumo squats and then run back down to the bottom of the hill for 7 Star Jumps. We completed this 4 times in a row and then returned to Ting on a scout run. We still had a few minutes left when we returned so we headed up the ramp for another lap. We stopped at the top for Sir Fazio Arm circles, stopped by the tennis courts for 5 burpees OYO and then back to the flag.

Mary: Short on time.

Announcements:  Tetanus will be stepping down as site Q at TBD. Need someone to step up and take over, freed to lead. Reach out to Tetanus if you are interested.

Farva’s 35th Birthday Beatdown

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

FNGs:N/a
Warm Up:4 for 2+ miles EC then returned to find a parking lot full of PAX who had no idea what they were in for. Did a quick mosey around the parking lot along with some line agility drills, circled up for side straddle hops, arm circles forward and reverse, seal claps, overhead claps, and good mornings.
The Workout: I told everyone to partner up by size and what weight they’d like to use. There were 2 45lb plates, 2 35lb plates, 2 25lb plates, 2 70lb dumbbells, and a 75(ish)lb atlas stone. Then I proceeded to lay out the Farva 35 challenge.

Fun with Dora

Alley work

Rinse and Repeat

Victory Lap

And finally 35 man maker burpees

First Dora using one of the plates was 100 curls for the girls(in cadence), 100 overhead press (in cadence), 100 tricep extensions(in cadence), and 50 merkins together with your partner. The Pax that wasn’t doing the reps ran line agility down the parking lot and back before switching.

Alley work- grab a dumbbell or atlas stone and go down half of the alley and back. Switch with your partner as needed, the partner not carrying the weight would bear crawl or duck walk.

Rinse and repeat, but the Dora this time was 100 weighted squats(cadence), 100 mtn climbers(cadence), 100 chair kicks, and 50 monkey humpers (in cadence) together with your partner. The pax not doing reps went down and back as before. Then back to the alley to finish the rinse and repeat.

Next was a victory lap around the school to celebrate what you’d just accomplished.

Finally this beatdown was to end with 35 man maker burpees.

Mary: All pax helped finish out the Burpees with no time to spare.
Announcements: Q sheet opportunities
T-Claps (Recognition): Everyone who made it out to support my birthday Q!
Prayer: I took us out

Sheldon Cooper’s – we did 10 rounds (decreasing reps by 1) with a lap around the parking lot.  Merkins, squats, big boy sit-ups, herpes (hand release burpees)

Sheldon’s Deck of Death.  Diamonds = Bonnie Blairs, Spades = Alternating Shoulder Taps, Clubs = Randy’s, Hearts = Balls to the Wall.  Thankfully, Sheldon let @Hardy shuffle the deck so we escaped having to do Jokers = Yurpees (10 burpees with a clap merkin into 2 tuck jumps)

20 Men Showed Up for an Ultimate Show Down

FNGs: Sonny, now F3 Flicker, named for his awesome left-handed forehand throw, which is also known as a flick. Member of the RESPECT club at 57? Brought his own cooler, discs, and work clothes. :). Other new F3 faces to SouthWake: Sketch, MIA, Doogie
Warm Up: 25 SSH while Dauber ran and got the “pennies,” GMs x 10. Many had arrived in time to throw a few. I knew everybody was ready to play, so we got started. Disclaimer to our FNG Sonny. A few quick rules/procedures. If there’s a turnover in the end zone, you can walk it up to the goal line. Also, when “kicking off,” move up so that your clears mid-field.
The Workout: Ultimate for 35 minutes with exercises on the turnovers: SSHs, jump squats, squats, merkins. Plus, exercises upon scoring: burpees, WWIIs, merkins, and more. Final 10 minutes with no exercises except after scoring. We never really keep an official score, but it helps gauge the match. This morning, the “pennies” jumped on the scoreboard with two or three unanswered trips to the end zone. The “skins” finally settled down, shortened our throws, and got on the scoreboard. Again, unofficially, we had several ties and lead changes. Looks like my completely random passout of the pennies led to equal teams! This was fun!

Tons of great plays out there by all. Too many to remember. Lots of “jump balls” for high throws just about anywhere. Quiver tracked down a floater that looked like it was way beyond his reach. Banana Seat made some great catches but claims he can’t throw. Sonny posted in the middle and was the field marshal for the skins. He could pretty much place the disc anywhere he wanted, with a razor sharp forehand. Blue Hen and Fram knocked down multiple discs on defense. I could not shake Bobby Dall and Warbucks, who stuck to me like white on rice. Dauber had and excellent throw right down the middle to the end zone for the score. Shredder worked the edges and Mr. T worked the middle. And of course, Cupid and Roaming Gnome worked the end zone for their respective teams. Maybelline always lurking on defense, ready to knock one down. Kubota making solid throws in the middle. Great to have Sketch, MIA, Doogie join us–solid players who will join us the first Monday in 2022. Again, many good plays. Maybe we should get the TOHS footage! Meant to get a group photo, but many posted for second F at Panera, so I got one there.

Mary: No time for Mary, this was all game time.
Announcements: CSAUP The Judge this Saturday, December 11, 2021, starting at Fleming Loop Park. Also, Shop With A Cop is live on Slack. Make a donation. Kids within the local community in need will be paired with officers from the Holly Springs Police Department to go shopping for holiday presents for their families and themselves.
T-Claps (Recognition): Thanks to Dauber for sharing the Q. Especially after his pre- pre- pre-blast. I know he was feeling it, ready to play!
Prayers: Unspoken. Fram gathered in the spirit and took us out with a nice prayer.
