Rollback That Weather Forecast

/in /QIC:
PAX: , ,

AO: Possum Trot
Workout Date: 08/18/21
Really bad thunderstorms were in the forecast, so I wasn’t sure how many would show up or if we would need to find an alternate AO. Two PAX rolled in and the thunder never showed. We worked out in a steady drizzle.

Warm Up: State the mission, check for FNGs(0), and give the disclaimer.
Warm Up exercises

Main Event:
1) Number of the Beast with an accidental 7th station we decided to keep. This definitely added to the difficulty as well as the time commitment.
2) Group rock work. PAX took turns calling and leading various rock exercies.

Y’all Busted My Rock!!!

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

A humid day down in the valley known as Possum Trot. 7 HIM gathered to be sure that nobody was alone or got left behind. We made some noise with the sledgehammer, somebody broke the rock POTS was using and he got salty, Sprinkler made some “noise” during COT, and we took the hill together several times.

FNG’s: nopes
Warm Up: SSH x 40 IC, Windmills, Seal Claps, and Overhead Claps x 7 IC, Imperial Walkers and Hillbillies x 10 IC, 22 Squats.
The Workout: A quick mosey for all PAX to grab a rock of choice and a short Cusack up to the entrance end of the lot to circle up for Shoulder Press x 15 and Merkins x 15. There were 3 stations in the rotation for the day: rock circle, tire flip & sledge, run the hill with 10 Merkins.

The rock circle continued with all PAX counting out 15 counts of any rock or ground exercise of choice. Partners would rotate out to either flip the tire/sledgehammer together or run the hill with Merkins. At no time, was any man supposed to be alone in a spot…because that’s what we do in F3. There was a constant rotation during this activity and no brains were bashed in as tires were flipped and hammers were swung. So, that’s nice.

All circle exercises included (sometimes several rounds), but not limited to: Merkins, American Hammers, Should Press, Curls for the Girls, Tricep Extensions, Squats, Rut-Rows, WW1’s, LSF, Homer to Marge, Burpees, Star Jumps, Ground Pounders, and more!
Mary: After putting our toys away we moseyed to the tennis courts for a Bear-Crawl/Sprint Back series we did 3 times in decreasing distances.  Finished with 22 counts of the following for Mary: LSF’s, LBC’s, Dying Cockroach, Homer to Marge, and Superman’s.
Announcements: Q Swap next week. CarPex guest Q’s will join us, but all AO’s remain open!

Warm Up: Lap around the tennis courts; circled up for SSH, IW, HB, Fazio arm circles, good mornings; I had to throw in some burpees to calm the mumble chatter

The Workout: PAX moseyed to the tennis court and lined up on one end. PAX were instructed to travel the width of the 4 tennis courts by broad jump, 5 star jumps, broad jump, 5 prisoner squats, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and squat-hold for the 6.  PAX then traveled back to the start across the 4 courts with the Obama (named after the 44th president) 4 steps in bear crawl followed by 4 merkins, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and plank-hold for the 6.  PAX loved these so much, we decided to do it again but had to limit each to the halfway mark to save on time.  Once complete, PAX traveled to the concession stand via Indian run for more fun.  Half the pax held BTTW, while the other pax did an exercise, then switch.  (exercises were 1:step ups x10 each leg, 2:bulgarian squats x5 each leg, 3:Erkins-Derkins-Dips x5 each).  Half the pax then held People’s chair while the other half did exercises, then switch. (exercises were 1:American Hammer, 2:Mountain Climbers).  PAX then indian ran back to the courts for Mary.
