A Pirate’s Life – 5 Years in the Gloom

/in /by

Five years ago YHC stumbled into Mutiny not knowing what he was getting into. This Sunday (6/21) marked the anniversary, and it felt right to honor it by taking a look back.

Today’s beatdown was not written by YHC. It was written by Dauber in February 2020, built in honor of POTS — Mutiny’s former resident pirate and the AO’s spiritual patron as Dauber described. YHC ran it as close to the original as the morning would allow.

Warm-Up

Circle up in the half circle:

  • 25 SSH

  • 10 Don Quixotes

  • 10 Daisy Pickers

  • 10 Sir Fazio (forward and reverse)

  • 10 Seal Claps

  • 10 Overhead Claps

The Thang

Part 1 — KB Circuit (Dauber’s Rock Circuit, adapted)

First lesson of the morning: Mutiny’s rock supply has seen better days. KBs stepped in for rocks — Dauber would understand.

PAX grabbed a KB and lined up on the pavement. 10 exercises, 20 count or 10 IC:

  1. Curls for the Girls

  2. Rut-rows (bent-over rows)

  3. Overhead press

  4. Tris for the guys

  5. Toe taps

  6. Bus drivers

  7. SIMBAs

  8. Goblet squats

  9. Plank hold slap KB

  10. Ground pounders

Between each exercise: drop KB, back pedal about 80yds, 5 merkins, return. Repeat for all 10.

Part 2 — KB Core

On the pavement. KB held above chest throughout.

  • 20cc 6-inch leg hold

  • 10 chest presses

  • 45-degree legs + 20cc hold

  • 10 chest presses

  • 90-degree legs + 20cc hold

  • 10 chest presses

  • 6-inch legs, hold to failure

Banana Seat unsurprisingly went the longest before failure.

Transition

Skipped — the clock had other plans.

Wall Work

Mosey to the wall.

  • ~50cc Balls to Wall

  • ~50cc People’s Chair

Mary

On the tennis courts.

  • Pickle pounders

  • Homer to Marge

  • LBCs

  • Hello Freakin’ Dollies

  • WW2 sit-ups

  • Peter Parkers

COT

Announcements

Nothing stated.

T-Claps

None stated.

Prayer

Lifted up the kids heading out to summer camps this week and all summer — for safety and good memories. Prayed for strength to finish the week strong. Prayed for the leaders of F3 Southwake.

Closing Remarks

Grateful for 5 years of accountability in the gloom. Grateful for men who were doing this long before YHC showed up, and for men who keep showing up now. Winnebago — welcome back! These mornings are better with you in them.

An honor leading you men.

— Abacus the OG

Toughest Mile Challenge

/in /by

15 PAX showed to test their strength around the track 4 times. This was brutal but we all pushed ourselves and got stronger.

We started at 0515 with a few warm up exercises. Then it was on like Donkey Kong.

Lap 1 – broad jump burpee
Lap 2 – lunge walk
Lap 3 – bear crawl
Lap 4 – run

Most guys finished up right around the hour mark. We had 3 ruckers join for COT. Maybe we can do this again to see how guys improve. Or not!

COT then prayer.

Awesome job guys. Thanks for joining me in another stupid idea.

Q School – Session 1 2024

/in /by

12 PAX for a mixer of Kenny’s Grave and Q school. Here’s a review.

Why Q school? This is to help with F3 formality (uniform) across all regions so if you attend an AO in New York or Texas it’ll still be close to the same structure.

3 main topics to cover – How to Q? Why to Q? (new exciting things) Are you ready to Q?

Sample structure for warm up with some discussion:
Disclaimer, warmup, workout (the thang), Mary, CoT – 45 mins total time, get a watch. Assign a sweeper if you have a large group of FNG’s.
Bring a Flag if you plan to Q. If you don’t have one, ask site Q to bring one.

Conduct WU and have guys take turns with exercises. SSH, Good Mornings, etc.

Be ready for CoT with announcements and prayer requests/praises

Review during workout:
Cadence Count
Form and rep count
Know your PAX limitations if possible
Site Q duties
Q sheet, pre-blast, backblast
Exicon, backblast from other regions, winky, Co-Q

Thang 1: Dora with bear crawl timer. 50 diamond merkins, 100 monkey humpers, 150 groiners,
Thang 2: Basketball court 7’s – burpees and absolutions

Thanks for attending men!

New Pavement!

/in /by

This would be more exciting if it were at Possum Trot but the track around the Kenny’s Grave baseball fields has a new coat of blacktop that makes it very easy to run on. It was so new you could still smell it. We started our lap with 4 but upon return found a bike in the parking lot that wasn’t there when we started.  Warbucks caught up not long after and, thanks to me not being able to do them, penalty burpees were not assigned.  

FNGs: None

Warm Up:

Frankensteins x10 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbilies x10 IC

Willie Mays Hays x10 IC

Trunk Twists x10 IC

The Workout:

We moseyed down to one of the empty lanes of parking spaces and partnered up for dora.  Since we had an odd number I joined one of the groups and just mirrored one of those guys.  

100 jump squats

200 Imperial Walkers

300 LBC

The timer was the other partner duck walking all the way to the other side of the lot and then jogging back.  The group of two finished up first because Warbucks is a jump squat machine so they helped finish up the group of 3’s LBCs at the end.

After that it was off to the hill by the big baseball field for 11s.  Sumo squats at the top and in cadence calf raises on the fence at the bottom.  It was OYO but everyone got done at the same time anyway.

Time was running short so I modified the rest of the plan.  We started down the greenway path and stopped at the first set of bleachers.  We faced up the hill and went up doing Walk Like an Egyptian.  Line up like an Indian run and take a step in to a lunge and hold it while the PAX at the back lunge walks to the front.  Once he’s there, step in to a lunge with your other leg and continue.  We made it to the top of the hill and then moved on due to time (which there wasn’t much of).

Mary:

Heel taps x16 IC

Reverse LBC x16 IC

Announcements:

F3 Family picnic on 6/24.  Check 2nd F channel in Slack for details and to sign up to bring stuff

Prayer:

Finkle’s youngest who hasn’t been feeling well.

YHC’s M who has a scratched eye that may or may not be getting infected.

Praise for my M’s grandparents who are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary as well as her grandmother’s 90th birthday

Praise for Finkle’s M for her final day at her, now former, job.

 

What a beautiful morning it was to come workout out and share the morning with you all.  It’s an honor that you come and allow me to lead you through this, truly.
