10 Years of BS

/in /by

YHC rolled into Cletus on June 12th solo while riding up on a mountain bike. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The workout kicked my butt, but I loved it enough to keep coming back for 10 Years. A whole decade of my life I’ve been posting in the gloom. I’ve learned a lot and met a lot of cool dudes. YHC was ready to celebrate as this was day 4 of Throwback week from 2015 and the last original AO to Q. Here is how the PAX grew stronger together.

Warm Up run to upper lot with some agility
Willie Mayes Hayes
Red Bull Smurf Jacks
Slalom
Copperhead Merkins
Copperhead Squats

Two lines for indian run to lower parking lot.
7’s across the parking lot curb to curb
– Bear crawl to across and crawl bear back
– Absolutions and Turkish Getups were to exercises
Partner up
Brokeback dirkens – 4 rds (partners run opposite direction. when they meet, each does 10 reps of dirkens with feet on partners back)
Two lines for indian run back up to tennis courts

Partners again
Bullfrogs going across. Wheelbarrow if you cannot bullfrog. Go across both courts. Switch partners and come back.

Thunderstruck – SSH the entire song. Do a burpee every time you hear thunder. 36 total burpees.

Mary – Week 4 Core Challange
Only had time for 3 exercises: Capt. Thor’s 1:4, Banana Rolls, Freddy Mercury’s

COT
Announcements and Prayers – waited too long to post BB and forgot

It’s truly been a blessing having F3 in my life for a decade. A lot of men have come and gone but F3 continues to change lives. Thank you to each person that came out this week to help YHC celebrate 10 years of F3. I hope I’m still around Q’ing in 10 more.

God Bless,
BS Out!

EC: BNB and Mr. Terrific ran a melted slushie route and found $0.06!
FNGs: n/a
Warm Up: Sir Fazio, Hill Billies, Good mornings, Imperial walkers, the usual and some moseying
The Workout: The Q is recovering from a stressed out back, so no merkins were called, and he modified as needed for wonder bras. Extremely muggy, also warm. Everyone was sweating just from the warm up. The landfill was also sharing its aroma with us.
Rock circle, rotating for each exercise. Probably 20 exercises. Preacher’s Chair to take a break in the middle.
Thang 2: Dora: 100 count of pullup hangs, 200 WW2s, 300 Squats. Finished just in the nick of time!
Mary: no time!
Announcements: Fence paining, July 5th volunteering. T-Claps (Recognition): Prayer: Airsoft, community members stressing about their jobs

Smedium Rocks around the Cricle

/in /by

Another great day for F3 where Iron Sharpens Iron! The weather was top notch and visibility was clear. I love this time of year!

U.T.I. brought his 2.0 HeatWave and we had a few EC Ruckers join us right before the start.

Warm Up:

All Warm Ups  – x 10

  • Good morning
  • Stetched
  • Side Straddle Hop
  • Sir Fazio Arm Circles
  • Hill Billies
  • Imperial Walkers

The Workout:

We mossied down to the rock pile behind the soccer fields and grabbed 2 smedium rocks. We then ran back up to the soccer fields and gathered around the half field line circle. Excises with the rocks were as follows:

  • Curls for the girls (x10)
  • Plank slides with one rock (x20)
  • Butterflies (x10)
  • Backward lunge (x10)
  • Rock Hallelujah’s (x10)

Ran back down the hill behind the fields and returned the rocks. We then mossied over to the Abyss.

Partnered up… 1 guy did LBC’s while the other took to the stairs and knocked out 20 Air Squats. We did 2 rounds of this and then headed back to the parking lot where we only had time for one more exercise which was Homer to Marge!

Announcements: Get CPR certified because you never know when it might come in handy. It has saved lives in F3 and other athletic activities here in town.

Jellybeans set the tone

/in /by

On my way to the AO, as I continued to work through the details of the workout in my head, I turned onto Holly Springs Rd and was coming up on my turn into Jones Park. Ahead of me, the silhouette of a HIM crossing Holly Springs Rd; Regal, Majestic, Patriotic; this HIM  (later identified as Jellybeans) was rucking to the AO for the workout, with his Shovel Flag in tow, backlit by the light of dawn.  A sight to see, an inspiration to those around him, a proud member of F3. For me, this certainly set the tone for the morning. 

FNGs: Nada

Warm Up: Good mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm circles, Seal Claps, OH Claps, Daisy Pickers

The Workout: Mosey to the rock pile for a medium rock. 

Made our way to Holly Springs Rd via Cusack and Mosey with various rock exercises mixed in (Ruh Rohs, Lunge walk with OH Press, Squat with OH Press, Curls for the Girls)

Circled up in the grass adjacent to Holly Springs Rd for 3 rounds of various rock exercises combining arms, legs, and ab work. Each round was separated by sprints down the new greenway path with a mosey back to the rocks. 

Exercises included ruh rohs, skull crushers, ground pounders, chest press, american hammers, homer to marge, squats, lunges, and a combo 6 inches and overhead rock pull on our six. 

Made our way back to the rock pile mixing in some of the same exercises and modes of transportation along the way.

Finished with a plank hold rock pass down the line of 14 PAX x 2.

Over to the playground we went to complete the June challenge of 20 pullups at every AO.
