PAX: , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: none

PAX: @Pumps, @Florence/Flojoe, @Warbucks, @Finkle, @Sprinkler, @Pots, @Sunshine, @Gamecock, @Martini
Warm Up: Mosey over to the basketball courts.  Followed by SSH 20 count in cadence, 10 walkouts, 10 good mornings in cadence, and imperial walkers 10 count cadence.
The Workout: I was a good boy last year, so Santa got me some new F3 toys to share.  We had 5 different stations and broke up into 2 teams of 5 and 4.  The stations were the “dice of death”, slam ball, jump rope, agility and sprints, and the battle rope.

While one group was the timer at the dice of death doing burpees, squat jumps, lbcs, SSH, and other various activities the other team was doing the other stations and then we would switch after three exercises were completed with the dice.  We did 4 rounds.  Little did we know that that morning in the gloom we would be come the talk of the town.  Apparently, our friend James Larsen videoed us doing burpees and wanted to give some critique on Facebook all the while it became a fantastic PR stud filled stunt for F3 in Fuquay.  It’s too bad we didn’t give them the full show with some pickle pounders and monkey humpers…James my friend, if video taping guys working out at 5:45 in the morning is your thing come back next week for some great footage!
Mary: Merry go round.  Thanks @sunshine for the monkey humper addition in cadence to 30 lol.
Announcements: Q source happening on Wednesday evenings at 6:45.  check slack for details.

Penis and Balls

PAX: , , , ,

It’s the first day of winter.  You can’t wake up in May and start thinking about going to the pool and looking good, that has to start now.  Numbers wain during the cold months but these are the months that make the warm months easier.  Get out there and do something, no matter what the weather.

FNGs: None

Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Sir Fazio Arm circles x10 IC forward and reverse

Seal Claps x10 IC

Overhead claps x10 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

The Workout:

We headed to the pavilion for our first set of exercises when the title of this backblast was found.  Inside the pavilion was a box of canned goods and various articles of clothing, obviously for some sort of drive.  There was also purple chalk writings on the floor with stars and sparkles.  YHC paid no attention to it as he assumed that some little girls were just playing the day before.  It wasn’t until we got down for LBC’s that someone pointed out that, in purple, was written Penis and Balls with corresponding illustrations.  Never would have guessed that was what it was.

We started with an LBC circuit pyramid.  We did standard LBCs, reverse LBCs, knees to the right LBCs, and then knees to the left LBCs.  We did 5, then 10, then 15, then 10, then back down to 5.  It was a total of 180 LBCs of one kind or another.

After that we went down to the curved wall for what I called an Irkins, Dirkins, and Dips bear crawl typewriter.  This worked out better in my head than in practice but it was still “fun”.  The goal was to start in irkin position, do 1 rep, and then have the last person in line bear crawl to the other side and get back up.  We’d then do 2 irkins.  So on and so forth until we hit 5 and then we started at 1 again.  When we hit the middle of the wall where the steps were we went back the other way.  We completed a full round of irkins.

Dirkins didn’t go so well.  We pivoted to duck walks because they’re faster but we only made it to the steps when YHC called an audible because he didn’t feel like we were going to survive the trip back down.  We then went in to dips with crab walks.  Once we reached the end of the wall we made our way back to the pavilion.

Here we did a step up pyramid, in similar fashion as the LBCs, with a set of 10 irkins in between each round of step ups.  Then it was down to the baseball field.  At the backstop we all held People’s Chair while someone ran the bases.  After that it was a quick set of BTTW with People’s Chair with seal claps or overhead claps in between.  Then it was back to the flag for…

Mary:

Rocky Balboa x15 IC (I think?  There was so much mumble chatter that I just kept going to see if anyone would pay attention.  Eventually someone started counting again and they picked it up at 13 and I stopped at 15.  I think we did more but no one was counting.)

Homer to Marge x15 IC

Chill cut plank hold -> Standard plank hold -> Chill cut plank hold

Pickle pounders x10 IC

Freddie Mercury x10 IC

Hello Dolly x10 IC

Day 2: 5 Days of Fankle, The Mystery and History of Ray Finkle

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

FNGs: none

PAX: @Sunshine, @Pumps, @Pots, @Finkle, @Martini, @Florence/FloJoe, @Bobby Boucher, @Warbucks
Warm Up: Mosey around the park track then circled up for 10 SSH, Daisy Pickers, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio Arm Circles f/b and Michael Phelps in cadence.
The Workout: First event was 4 corners in the parking lot and at each corner YHC shared historical facts about the real Ray Finkle aka Uwe Detlef Walter von Schamann.  As usual Hollywood has twisted the facts about this fictional character.  After a deep dive into the history of this modern day marvel “Finkle” we find a true champion and a culprit!  Back to the workout…

At each corner we did a prescribed exercise.  Round 1 was 4X4’s (4 burpees into plank then 4 merkins, 4 mountain climbers, and back up), lunges – 10 each leg, alternating shoulder taps in cadence to 10 and ending with Bobby Hurleys.  Round 2 was Boat Canoes, Crab cakes, Jack Webbs (set of 4), and star jumps.

2nd event was getting personal under our newly rehab’d pavilion.  We did 2 sets of gyno-crunches, procto-derkins, and step-ups 10 each side.

3rd event was California Rolls down at the wall.  We did sets of 10 Irkens and dips R/R till we reached the end of the wall.

Finkle Facts: 

  1. In the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective the character Ray Finkle is in reality Dolphins kicker Uwe von Schamann.
  2. Uwe Detlef Walter von Schamann (born April 23, 1956) is a former professional American football placekicker.  He played for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League, from 1979 to 1984.
  3. In the real Super Bowl XIX, Von Schamann made three field goals and an extra point in this game.
  4. In the movie Finkle missed the game-winning field goal in a fictional Super Bowl XIX. The latter play actually occurred six years later in Super Bowl XXV by the Buffalo Bills kicker Scott Allen Norwood.  The real culprit…
  5. Norwood’s field goal range was unusually short for a professional kicker and he had difficulties in converting field goals over 40 yards throughout his career, especially on natural grass (the Bills’ home stadium used AstroTurf, which mitigated this issue).
  6. Super Bowl XXV, which was played on January 27, 1991, cemented Norwood’s name in football history when he missed a 47-yard field goal attempt with 8 seconds left in the game, giving the New York Giants their 2nd Super Bowl victory, and started the Bills’ string of four consecutive Super Bowl losses. This kick was made famous by the “wide right” call by the TV announcers. Later video analysis revealed the holder mistakenly aligned the laces to the right, thereby positioning the kicked ball to fade right once in the air.  Hmmm…interesting…Although the Bills signed Björn Nittmo as Norwood’s potential replacement in the 1991 offseason, Norwood remained with the Bills through that season. The Bills returned to the Super Bowl and Norwood was perfect throughout the postseason, including a 44-yard field goal that served as the decisive margin in the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos.
  7. What was the dolphin’s name in the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Movie? Snowflake
  8. What was Ray Finkle’s other name in the movie? Lois Einhorn
  9. Who did Ray Finkle murder in the movie? Roger Podacter, the Dolphin’s head of operations.
  10. The name of the mental hospital that Ray Finkle escaped from was named Shady Acres Mental Hospital.
  11. The mental hospital where Ventura goes undercover was named Shady Acres as a play on the name of director Tom Shadyac.

Mary: We did round-robin style with a mixture of abs, stretches, squats and the Sweater Fox (Boxcutters) decided to show up again to torture @Warbucks…
Announcements: CSAUP on Saturday, December 11
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: @Bobby Boucher’s M is looking for a new employment opportunity, @Farva’s back injury, @K I T T Y L I T T R and M recovering from sickness.  Remember those who need hope during the Christmas season.  Be the salt and light our community needs fellas!
