4 men arrived at 5:20am on the levee (well Mahatma and YHC arrived at 5:20) in the early morning gloom. While waiting for the best view in greater New Orleans, they banded together but remained physically distant for a Q-less beatdown. It was Round Robin all around with each of the 4 men taking their turns.
The Warm-up
SSH – 20
Shoulder taps – 20
Peter Parkers – 20
Imperial Squat Walkers – 15
Windmill – 15
Michael Phelps – 15
Grass grabbers – 15
The Thang
Each of the 4 pax members led a section of the workout. YHC has little confidence that every workout will be recorded with perfect accuracy, but that will make this no different from the standard backblast.
The Mahatma
Start at the top of the levee on the concrete pad with 15 merkins, run down to the beginning of the bridge for 15 air squats, run across the bridge for 15 lunge steps, continue running to the next concrete ramp and do 15 merkins on the top of the levee. Run back down the ramp and back to the starting point on the other side of the bridge.
Mahatma asked the Pax to estimate the time it will take to complete. YHC guessed 6 minutes. Kenner Brah guessed 5 minutes. It took 9:20 as it was about one mile of running. (Who knew it was that far?)
The RevSox
15 dips at the walls on the top of the levee. Run down the levee to the paved space on the other side of the bike path and do 15 plank jacks. Repeat with 10 reps of each and then repeat again 5 reps of each.
The Mambi
Run backwards up the levee and do 15 squat jumps at the top, run down the ramp and do 15 Carolina Dry Docks. Run back up the levee and down to the bottom on the other side for 15 LBCs. Bear crawl back up to the top and run back down to the starting point. Two Rounds
The Kenner Brah
This was the oddest and most mentally engaging exercise YHC has ever done at an F3. The Pax moseyed to the edge of the lake and climbed on the rocks. The Pax then goat hopped (Kenner Brah’s terminology) down the rocks for about 1,000 feet while praying no one was going to sprain an ankle or worse. Thankfully there were no injuries as we hopped from wet rock to wet rock by the lake.
We sprinted back to the starting point as YHC edged out Mahatma on the run (history is written by the winners baby!)

Count off, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Intentions, and Prayer (all with proper social distancing)
