    9 PAX at the Foundry today: High Rise, Kuch, Abacus, Pop Tart, Saban, Amnesty, Walleye, Snooze, Catfish (Q). Started by moseying over to the track for a quick lap and warmup with 8-counts. Moved on to faces for Peter Parker Peters. Another lap, then moved on to the back road to head to the foundry.
    Stopped along the way at the museum parking lot, then did some Jack Webbs up to ten. Arrived at the foundry for a quarter murph (25 pullups, 50 merkins, 75 squats in 5-10-15 sets 5x). Did some LBCs, Penguins, and Dying Cockroaches waiting for the six.
    Moseyed to the museum porch. Continued Jack Webb from 11 to 15.
    Moseyed back to the track. Got in some Dr. Ws for the finish. Back to flag zone for CoT.

  • No Blocks before Breakfast – from Akbar

    Early day after watching the Superbowl – wasn’t sure who would show. Just me and Grover hanging on the basketball court until 5:13 when Pik arrived on foot. YHC was excited to get back to the basics today with a full body workout with blocks and a gentle mosey around the block.

    Light crowd this morning, probably due to the SuperBowl and Run Cajun Run. This is the second time the blocks have been stolen in 18 months. We’ll consider it F3’s gift to the community. Good work and good conversation today guys.

  • I just felt like running…. – from Jose10k

    Hogs breathe, bbq, and yhc showed up this dreary morning, ready for the crazy Ivan. A simple poll was taken, and we just felt like running. Through the wet streets of Covington, the 3 of us jog at a slow pace. Discussions of family, work, the crazy Ivan, runcajunrun, and of course COVID. I realized that I am truly blessed to call these men my brothers, my family. We still have never had a solo A1C, and every workout has been great. Thank gentlemen for coming out, and I hope we see everyone out tonight for the crazy Ivan. Jose10k out….

  • Go West and Burpee – from Fracsac

    6 Pax made a choice to take the DRP on their journey to get right and posted at the new site of the Whoopie View, aka Westward Ho, located at Lake Town where Williams Blvd ends. It was a chilly 43 degrees, but dry. With shovel flags planted, disclaimer was given, then:

    Warmup with 1/2 mile mosey followed by:

    Imperial Walkers IC x 15
    Grass Grabber IC x 10
    SSH IC x 20
    Bat Wings:
    •Fwd AC IC x 15
    •Rev AC IC x 15
    •OH claps IC x 15
    •Seal claps IC x 15
    •Moroccan NC x 31

    YHC stated he committed to a Burpee Free February, to which he received looks of doubt. That’s when YHC stated he misspoke, and corrected it with Free Burpee February: all burpees in February are free!

    Circle up for 5 minutes of EMOM for 50 free burpees.

    Mosey a little closer to the point for DirtyMacDeuce: 4 sets of 3 x 12 rep exercises (legs arms and core)

    Round 1: Merkins, big boi sit-ups, Bobby Hurleys
    Run a lap (to the left) around the circle at the point

    Round 2: Diamond Merkins, 8 count body builders, Flutter kicks
    Run a lap, staying left, around the circle

    Round 3: wide arm Merkins, SSH, LBC
    Run a lap, you guessed it, to the left

    Round 4: Catalina wine mixers, monkey humpers, tin snips
    Run a lap, stay left!

    Mosey back toward the flag, stopping at each shelter for 10 burpees OYO at each shelter, 3 stops in all.
    At the flag, 10 more burpees OYO followed by 10 dying cockroaches

    • The new site has a lot to offer. The opening lap was a brief tour of what was there.
    • There’s lots of visibility at this location, and that will hopefully lead to growth from sad clowns in the region.
    • T-Claps to Heisenberg and Triple Shift for making the trek out to celebrate the new site.
    • MABA is looking to hit 1 million burpees, and YHC did his part by handing out 102 to each pax.
    • Added 1.8 miles to RCR/PC

  • Screw It Dude, Let’s Go for a Run – from Bushwacker

    QIC showed up early to unleash a hidden surprise and then started warming up with laps. Nobody showed… except Cowbell, so we ran!
    THE END

  • Curls for the Girls! – from BBQ

    The weather was cold and rainy but that did not stop 10 sturdy and strong NS F3 men from rising to the challenge. The beat down moved under the trailhead shelter and went heavy on coupons. The warm up exercises were side straddle hops, torso twists, self love, wind mills, arm circles with little balls and biggest balls, grass grabbers, mountain climbers, inverted mountain climbers, plank jacks, merkins and shoulder rolls. YHC had some struggles with cadence and count but I think I am making some progress! Coupons were used for 4 rounds of 11 exercises. 3 types of curls, overhead lifts, rows, kettle bell swings, squats, Al Gore meets George Thoroughgood, LBC’s, leg raises and flutter kicks. Shooter will be sad to miss this beat down. Curls should continue to be a focus to be ready for the girls at the joint NS F3 and FIA workout on 2-25! We did one round of tricep curls at the end to keep arms from becoming too bicep heavy. Mobydick inspirationally prayed us out.

  • Running in Circles – from Tinkles

    Selfishly, I wanted the miles and running workouts are pretty easy to Q. In past iterations of the February running challenge I found myself skipping the beatdowns and just running. With an all-time interest (t-claps to the HIM men who got us motivated) maybe the Q’s will find a way to blend the two. Today was an attempt at that.

    Warm up: SSH X 20, Grass grabbers X 20, couple of hamstring stretches

    The Thang: OYO laps starting at the bandstand and heading downtown on the dirt path to the main track where we headed toward the river and back uptown cutting back to the parking lot and main shelter (classic El Wire route). When back to the shelter do 10 merkins. Repeat and when back to shelter, dips X 10. Repeat and when back to shelter, decline merkins X 10. Keep that rotation going through as many laps as possible. Each lap was about .4 miles and several guys knocked out 11 laps with most hitting ten. Well done!

    Count off, namorama, and intentions. Prayer to help us be mindful of lifting up others. SYITG!
