FNGs: None, but Backdoor was out for his 2nd post
Warm Up:
Mosey the long way to dumpster area. Circled up for SSH and Sir Fazio arm circles.
PAX counted off by 4’s and mosey to goodwill parking lot with 4 carrying the buckets full of rocks.

The Workout:
PAX teamed up by number behind the 4 buckets. Each bucket had a list of 21 exercises that PAX were instructed to do 25 reps of each exercise. After each exercise, 1 PAX would carry their bucket of rocks to the other end of the lot while the remaining PAX did SSH until all exercises were complete.

21 exercises x 25 reps each = 525 total reps

  1. Merkins
  2. Lunges – 25 total
  3. Big boy situps
  4. Dodo bird with rock (IC)
  5. Monkey humpers (IC)
  6. Low slow flutter (IC)

Announcements:
PAX circled up and held a plank. YHC asked PAX what the mission of F3 SW was. We got it right on the 2nd try and 1 merkin. Then YHC asked PAX for 1 or the 5 principles of F3. We did a few merkins for incorrect answers, but finally got through them all. 5 merkins for the 5 core principles. 20 boat canoes IC and a short back plank.

T-Claps (Recognition):
Good job Backdoor.

EC: LED, Fanny Pack, Fonzie, Katniss, Maybelline, Redenbacher, Yogurt

FNGs: Welcome (Wilson Robertson) Drum Circle! He went to App State and said it was a pretty groovy experience..  Thanks for bringing  him out Fonzie.

YHC made my inaugural Q at TBD so I wanted to make sure PAX got their money worth on this fine Wednesday morning in the gloom.  Seven of us headed out for Extra Credit with great pick ups of the 6 along the way. Returned to the flag for about 10 more PAX ready to get after it. Fonzie let me know we had an FNG so I laid down the disclaimer and off we went.

Warm Up:

A quick mosey to the center of the ball diamonds and then circled up for:

  • Good Morning x 12
  • Windmills x 12
  • Frankenstein x 12
  • Spinal Rotations x 12

We then took another quick mosey to the parking lot east of the soccer fields for the main event.

The Workout:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inspired by Billy Madison’s journey through back through school, this routine involves a running loop and exercise per grade. Begin with a loop (to simulate the grade) followed by an exercise with 12 reps as the exam. This concludes 1st grade. Run the loop again, followed by the 1st grade exercise x 12 reps plus a new exercise x 12 reps. This concludes 2nd grade. Continue with the loop and adding an exercise each time until you’ve completed one loop and exercise combo for each of the 12 grades.

Mop Handles and Mumble Chatter

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

Great group out at Ground Pou… I mean, Sheepdog, this morning. Some strong mumble chatter was in play. I won’t go into details but there was talk of an F3 South Wake calendar and there was some discussion about a mop handle. Been a long week for many of us and so I was looking to bring a little different variety. Ironic thing is, I ended up taking pieces of the previous day Fram-led beatdown. It was that memorable that I just figured I wanted to keep doing it. Several in play for EC, gotta love that later start at the end of a long week.

FNGs: Nope
Warm Up: Long jog around to back of school, circled up for variety of exercises. This was second time this week I included Good Mornings ICx20. Guys are always asking for it, so what’s wrong with a little extra time to stretch?
The Workout: Lined up along the side of the school. Kept it simple. We would run down the length of the road and do a plank hold together on a 30 count, then run back. When we returned we did SSH ICx100. Kept this pattern but on the return we changed it up each time and did LBCs ICx75, Mt Climbers ICx0, Low Slow Flutter ICx25, and American Hammer ICx10. Good mix of jog/plank/core work. Then we circled up and Shredder led a 10-min lesson on some self-defense moves. If you have ever been to Sheepdog, this is something you are missing out on. Shredder walks the PAX through some basic techniques, provides demo, and you practice. Look, nobody is gonna become an expert in 10 mins, but this is a great addition to a workout and you get to learn a few things along the way. T Claps to Shredder for sharing his knowledge with the PAX.
Mary: Mosey back to flag and a Sprinkler/Redenbacher 2-man jailbreak broke out. Circled up for a couple quick rounds of LBC, 6 hold, Low Slow Flutter and Homer to Marge. Then we did a 5-min arms and shoulder stretch routine. Figured after some of the workouts this week we could use a little extra. This is when the mumble chatter reached Ground Pounder status. It was almost like Dauber was there.
Announcements: CSAUP, others check Slack
T-Claps (Recognition): Lots this morning. Great to see Mr. T back in the gloom. Red for piling up points and running strong. Maybelline putting in the work too. Shredder showing great leadership during the challenge. I could go on but you get the point.
Prayer: Unspoken, YHC took us out.

First time at Falcon Park

Warm Up: Mosey around

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: Not today
Warm Up: Mosey to a wall for BTW and a count off of PAX… It took us about 6 times to actually get a count off. The precedence was set for a chatty workout with nobody listening to YHC.  We began to mosey to other side of lot for SSH x15. PAX was surprised by the x15 on SSH, as YHC is known for his x50 or even x100 to begin workouts.  YHC threw a curveball on the SSH, as he called them again, but this time as 21’s.  Q calls out 2 count SSH for the first 1-5 and then 6-21 are silent. If the PAX don’t finish all at the same time in cadence on 21, repeato….Lets just say we repeated quite a few times.  We even had some OYO Peeping Lipsticks when the PAX struck out 3x for not being quiet.   We continued the mosey to another lot and did more warmups.

The Workout: Partner up and suicides across lot with peeping lipsticks.  6 suicide stops- Pax 1 goes to first and back while Pax 2 does peeping lipsticks, rotate partners after each suicide stop, until we got to the end.  Pax had a hard time understanding and also questioned the legitimacy of a peeping lipstick (turkesh getup with a star jump)  It’s in the exicon!   Next we mosey to the bus stop where YHC had coupon pain stations setup.  Partner 1 worked with coupon while partner 2 ran out and back. Switch roles and then switch stations as we rotated through 7 stations.  Stations as followed: Merkin Jack Webb with Cinderblock (2 stations) Weighted jump rope, grave diggers with 20lb mace, death march with 10lb mace, kettlebell swings 35lb, kettlebell tricep extensions 15lb. Closed out with 21s again to test our progress. It only took 3 times to nail it, Pots even turned his back to the Pax!
Mary:  Mary caught the bus and we kept the heartrate up until the end!
Announcements: June 26th Picnic at Harris Lake, Families invited, Emeril is smoking 32 Pork Butts
T-Claps (Recognition): All Pax for showing up during this challenge. The engagement, fellowship, accountability, etc has been awesome. Let’s keep this going through the summer!
Prayer: Heidi, Emeril’s family friend with Cancer

Dirty Dozen at Prison Yard Thinking About Stirrups

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

FNGs: No, but welcome back kotter, Tim (Hoege?) a.k.a. Cream of Corn (originally from NE, named in SW 4 yrs ago)
Warm Up:  Many PAX got their point and ran for two miles (~20 mins).  Dumbo missed us at 5:05 am and ran on his own; I overhead him saying waiting in the driveway for Pablo who never came out.  Hope Pablo is OK.  Circled up for the following exercises:  good am, SSH, daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios, seal claps, o/h claps, Mike Phelps…
The Workout:  The warden brought many dumbbells ranging in weight from 15 lbs to 50 lbs.  An index card with a few exercises were written down as a suggestion (implied 10 reps) and dumbbells were spread out over the parking lot.  A 20 lb stretchy thing was added, as well as a cinder block and jump rope.  See pic for details of exercises.  The time keeper was  the 50 lb dumbbell.  Note this 50 pounder was either carried by itself or farmer’s carry (Two 50 lb dumbbells).  Some brave PAX tried the farmer’s carry including Warbucks, Cupid, Shredder…(apologies if I left out anyone).  PAX had to carry the 50 lb dumbbell around the parking lot.  While this was going on, PAX cranked out their respective exercises with their specific weight/tool/coupon.  If no tools were available, PAX were instructed to do core exercises.
Mary:  Circled up for 6 inches, box cutters, and static stretches that included some work on the groin area.  Lots of mumble chatter about stirrups.  It was quite the visual.  Cream of Corn may not come back for another four years.
Announcements:  JOCO CSAUP. Murph on Memorial Day, Bed builds, 5Ks coming up…
T-Claps (Recognition):  PAX showing great effort today especially with the farmer’s carry
Prayer:  Dumbo took us out – thank you!  Prayers for an infant born too early who gave joy to his family for a handful of weeks…..automatically gone to heaven; UNSPOKEN
Thanks PAX for helping me load/unload my car this am.

Honored to lead (Forgot to say the Pledge of Allegiance – thinking about the stirrups I guess).  -Dauber

10 Pointers at Mutiny

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

First time Q for me at Mutiny. Been there several times over the years but never took lead. Was great to combine with Red October for EC, w/u, Mary and COT.

FNGs: No, but we had an FNG at Red October, welcome Murdoch
Warm Up: combined with Red October
The Workout: Indian Run to get things moving. Selected rocks and started with curls and tris from 20 to 15 to 10 to 5.  Shifted to the 10-pointer. Did 10 on the 10 count. This is full motion move starting with a squat, curl, tri press, back to chest press, curl down and end back down in the squat. Slower count, focus on form. Then we did a Bear Crawl halfway back up the road and jog the rest to a plank hold, 20 SSH IC, and 10 tempo squats. Mosey back to rocks and repeat (I think we ended up doing 4 full sets). Headed over to tennis courts and did a shoulder burn as we waited for Red October.
Mary: A couple quick moves called by YHC and Breach
Announcements: Upcoming picnic, check slack and make plans.
T-Claps (Recognition): Rainmaker coming back out, great work this morning
Prayer: Breach took us out
