BOARDING ACTION!!

/in /by

FNGs: N/A

Warm Up: The Usual. F3 Mission Statement and 5 core principles were stated correctly.

The Workout: in today’s gloom we ran a competition pitting Queen Anne’s Crew (Gump, Flip Phone, and Finkle) against Vane’s Rebels across 4 stations of equipment and body weight exercises. With the help of a 50 second tabata timer, members of one crew would lift the heavy things and put them down (farmer carry, kettlebell swings, sandbag burpies, and curls for the girls) while the other crew did body weight exercises of their choosing (too many to name). The crews would switch and see if they could lift up heavy things better than that of their rival crew.

History Lesson: Blackbeard vs. Charles Vane

Charles Vane and Edward Teach — better known as Blackbeard — were both prominent pirates operating in the Atlantic during the early 1700s, and their rivalry stemmed from competition over territory and resources in the Caribbean and along the American coast. Vane was known for his brutality and refusal to accept pardons, while Blackbeard cultivated a fearsome reputation through theatrics and intimidation. Towards the end of Blackbeard’s life, the two were competing for dominance in pirate havens, and Vane’s aggressive tactics alongside Blackbeard’s declining influence created tension between their crews. Though they never directly clashed, their rivalry represented the cutthroat nature of piracy in that era — fitting inspiration for today’s beatdown.

Warm Up:  Started the warm-up with some Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, and Willy Mays Hays to get the muscles moving before the main event. 

The Workout: The main event started as one big group with a Burpee on the frisbee drop, but then a few more showed up, and we had to split into 2 games. 

Many discs were dropped, and many burpees and squats were performed, but we got the job done, and everyone walked away relatively unscathed. 

Announcements: Q them all and set a number of weekly workouts challenges are active and running. If you complete the Q-Them all challenge, you will receive a custom shirt.

Day 2 2015 Throwback Week – Possum Trot

/in /by

Day 2 of 2015 Throwback week truly felt like an OG workout. YHC pulled into the lot, planted the flag, hid the speaker on the court, then walked over to the larger than normal crowd. To my surprise there were 4-5 HIM that were at my first post and some other familiar faces I haven’t seen a quite a while. After pounding and greeting each PAX, it was 0530. The F3 mission statement took place along with the 5 core principles. Fram then decided to jog up so we could get our morning share of 5 burpees. Good thing we didn’t do these back in the day when Tardy would show up 2-3 mins into every workout. Here’s what happened at the Trot.

Warm Ups
We saluted New Mexico with follow the leader quick feet and slides on the tennis courts to start off then moseyed down to the concession stand area.
– Smurf Jacks
– Imperial Squat Walkers
– Bat Wings
– Slaloms

Wall Work
PAX found a spot on the small wall for dirkens and box jumps. Started with 10 each then 9 each all the way down to 1 each.

Jacob’s Ladder (another classic by New Mexico)
PAX lined up on the hill next to the baseball field. Back peddle up the hill, 3 star jumps, run down the hill, increasing burpees for each trip down. PAX did this 7 times.
Two lines for an Indian run back up to the tennis courts.

Tennic Courts
Each IR line stayed together for Chilly Broad Jumps across all four courts. PAX lined up about 2-3 feet apart in a chill-cut plank. Guy at the end broad jumps over each PAX legs until the end then gets in line. Repeat until we got to the fence.

Bearicides – PAX bear crawled to the end of the first court, ran back, perfomed 5 hand release merkins. Repeat to the end of second, third and yes all the way down to the fourth court.

Sally – PAX performed the squats while listening to Sally song. Quite a burner.

Mary – W2CC x15 IC
– Strict sit ups
– Side plank ups L
– Side plank ups R
– Reverse LBCs
– Mtn climber twist (touch knee to opposite elbow)

COT
Announcements: Paint the fence 2nd F, F3 Picnic, Rico’s soccer kids accomplishment
Prayers: All mainly unspoken

Great turnout today for this workout. It was such a surprise to see guys I worked out with for the first 5+ years in F3 all the time. Hope to see them more soon. Thanks for letting me lead such a strong group of HIM.
