Sheepdog – 7/7/23

6 Pax for a combination of time under tension (TUT) and fast twitch muscles.  After a quick warmup of follow the leader, side straddle hop, Sir Fazio Arm Circles (F&B), seal clap to overhead clap, Willy Maes Hayes, and Frankenstines, we started the main even.

Using the parking spaces at the middle school we went through several rotations of speed skaters, front toe taps, side-to-side toe taps, and slow single-leg deadlifts, standing on the curb.  We then jogged over to the road guardrail and rotated through 3 rounds of slow TUT dips and then quick merkin pulsing.  AFter that we took a trip around the back side of the school to the basketball court to go say high to Marry.

For Marry, we did a fast-paced rotation of LBCs, low-slow flutter, crab cakes, and breakdancers.

Wrapped up with COT.  Breach took us out.

New AO: Ultimate Frisbee at Ting: U.F.O. (25 PAX)

FNGs:  none
Warm Up:  Grateful for Yogurt leading us with SSH, Frankensteins, etc
The Workout:  12 v 13 Ultimate. Drops resulted in merkins, squats, SSH…

Scores resulted in burpees, LBCs, star jumps…

Some very nice plays on the pitch!  Well done.

Mary:  static stretches OYO
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.

The Most Uncomfortable Thing

YHC pre-blasted a potential FNG at Mutiny this morning which brought a good crowd.  Unfortunately our FNG was a no-show but we had a good time regardless.  I was happy to see so many happy faces this morning.

FNGs:

We were supposed to have one but, alas, none showed.

Warm Up:

Lap around the soccer field and then circle up by the tennis courts:

Good morning x10 IC

SSH x20 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

Penalty burpees for Warbucks being late x5

The Workout:

We moseyed down the parking lot and stopped at the first island.  From there we started YHC’s favorite go-to, the Crab Boil

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab cakes x10 IC

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab humpers  x10 IC

Crab walk two parking spaces

Crab jacks x10 IC

Once we were done with that we took a break to do some Jack Webbs.  For those who forget, it’s a 1:4 ratio of merkins and air presses.  We went up to 10:40

We crab boiled back up the parking lot and then did Spud Webbs, which are like the previous workout but this time with lunges and squats. (It was A LOT of squats)

Once done with that we went to the rock pile and grabbed a rock and moved up to the pavilion:

Curls for the girls x16 IC and move two rocks to the left

Triceps extensions x16 IC and move three rocks to the left

Chest press x16 IC and move two rocks to the left

Trunk rotations x16 IC and move two rocks to the left, back to our original rocks

Ground pounders x16 IC and then return your rock

One last exercise, we paired up and did roman sit-ups on the picnic table.  This is where you hang off the front of the table, face first, while someone holds your legs to keep you from falling on your face.  Then you do a reverse sit up using your lower back muscles to pull you up.  Each PAX did 10 OYO and, afterwards, one described it as “the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever done in F3”

Mary:

At the tennis courts we circled up for:

LBC x10

Reverse LBC x10

Knees to the left side LBC x10

Knees to the right side LBC x10

Homer to Marge x10
