The Workout:

Moseyed to the Bus Drop off. We split up into pairs and then a pair took one of the three islands.

Run in opposite directions around the island. When you met your partner do 7s counting down of Broke Back Shoulder Tap Merkins. Every time you meet you decreased the number. We went down to 1. Once that was wrapped up we did laps around the island. Partner A did bear crawls and Partner B did Lunge walks. When Partner A needed a break Partner B took over the bear crawls and Partner A did lunges. After one lap we switched to Gorilla Walks and Lunges.

Mosey to the wall for mobile balls to the wall. The pax waiting held their Squat Hold. As pax held balls to the wall and moved down the length of the wall.

Moseyed to the playground and split up in three groups. One group went with Emeril to the hill. One group with Flanigan to the play ground and the last group with me to the wall. The hill group was the timer. 5 trips up the hill running backwards. The folks against the wall held squat while lifting up one leg and switching. The playground group did pull ups. Once the 5 trips where completed group one went to the wall. Group 2 to the hill and group 3 to the playground. Repeat until all groups ran the hill.

Then we made our way up the stairs. We then found our original partners and wheelbarrow to the flag pole/stop sign.

Sheepdog-All Valley Tournament

/in /by

3 Pax showed up to compete in the All Valley Tournament. The competition was fierce as HIM went head to head with themselves to see if they could overcome their doubts and fatigue and win the championship.

Warm ups started with a light jog around the school. Then SSH, SFAC (f&b), Moroccan Night Clubs, neck stretches, hip rotations, knee rotation, Frankensteins, Good Mornings, & Willie Mays Hayes.

In preparation for the tournament we went into training which included staggered squats x10, dips x10, staggered squats x10, erkins x10, and squats x10. After that we moved to focusing on technique and balance as we found a curb and got into a squat hold position with only the balls of our feet on the curb forcing us to route and then ran wax on, wax off drills in cadence. The burn in both shoulders and legs were starting to sit in after several rounds. Once our training was complete we were ready to head to the tournament.

The tournament was slightly postponed as we contemplated he’s shiny object rocketing across the sky, later to find out that it was the SpaceX rocket. It was a pretty incredible site.


The Tournament:

match 1: pax each lined up on a parking space line and traveled from line to line throwing three kicks in between and then three Merkens at each line. On the way back we substituted merkins for three strike combos. Rinse and repeat two more times.

match 2: packs were feeling pretty good going into the second match which is where the montage kicked in. To the karate kid theme song we did squatted wax on wax off until the chorus shouted “your the best around…” each time this happened we executed a star jump Burpee. Farva, wanting to make sure he got on the cover of the brochure, made sure he had photo worthy star jumps. This continued for the remainder of the song.

match 3: YHC thought it was a good idea to stretch a little before going into the final match so we did some arm stretches and cotton pickers. The final match was against some chick named Sally from the valley. It did not take long to realize that this competitor was no joke. Pax did a Merkin challenge to “Bring Sally Up”. Every time Sally went up we pushed up, every time the song said bring Sally down we drop down into a merkin and hold 3 inches off the ground. This continued throughout the song for as long as we could push it. Once we hit our max we altered into chill cut plank hold to regular plank hold. This was no joke and as the song came to a close, pax were laid out on the ground.

Mary:
we finally rolled over and knocked out some LBCs and Homer to Marg. Then finished with Have a Nice Day.

Announcements: HS Classic runners and volunteers. Bed build postponed. Food delivery and other options
Prayer: upcoming travel.

66% Shirted at the mini Murph

/in /by

FNGs:  Welcome Strat-eee-gery

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Windmills, SSH, Goofballs, Frankensteins, Squats

The Workout:  Murph.  Well… whatever we can squeeze into a 45 min workout.

Started with the traditional 1 mile run by completing the figure 8 around Womble.

Paired off into accountability partners.  YHC cut the normal count of 100 pull-ups, 200 merkins, and 300 squats in half.  Each PAX aimed to complete half of the normal Murph.  The count was done OYO with YHC supplying headlocks and mumblechatter throughout.

I regailed the PAX with a memory of one of my first Cletus workouts where a Murph was declared as the workout.  It was intimidating and so hard back then.  This wasnt easy today but it was certainly easier than it was on one of my first workouts.  Keep coming back, get stronger, beat yesterday, <enter your cliche inspirational message here>

Did you know that YHC is now the site Q at Disney?  Do you have a birthday, anniversary, or other memorable event to celebrate?  Celebrate it at Disney!

Reserve your spot on the Disney Q-Sheet today before its too late!!!

Once PAX completed their reps – we mozy’d around the soccer field and back around to the playground.  The TBD tribe then mozy’d back to the main lot for Mary.

Mary:  Homer to Marge, Pickle Pounders, (these brought cheers from the non-F3 onlookers in the lot), Good Mornings

Announcements:  Welcome Plunger (PAX relocating from Charlotte) – dropped some intel about an F3 campout coming this summer.  I cant find the link on Slack but keep an eye out for this HIM.  Good dude moving into town very soon.

Continue to mosey to the back for a 3 minute AMRAP of 10 single leg squats, 20 hand release merkins, and 30 squat jumps. Take a lap around the track then head over to the circle.

Bear crawl Ring of Fu – we all Bear crawled around the circle, each pax called out a number and on their up we did that many wing chun strike combos.

Shredder finished us off with combatives, focusing on rooting and form for wing chun strikes.
