F3 New Orleans

Category: New Orleans

  • Intentional milestone achieved at the Marsh!!

    Arising on this Gloom the QIC received a GroupMe message from a fellow F3 Brother. It simply stated “Why am I here at 4:45AM???” The response could have been because your Qing, but wait that’s not the case. Or it’s Friday at Captains cove where only above average men and 6 percenters meet, nah its Monday.. Maybe it’s we are meeting in a dark commercial parking lot to carpool to another AO for an official launch wayward west… Actually non of the above, however there would be a milestone achievement set forth on this Monday at the Marsh with more than just 1 PAX posting. Although the QICs anticipation of being the Lone Ranger on this Gloom and having the benefit of slipping in getting a little work done and retreating back to the oh so comfortable Sack was surly his intention, one  Bushwacker had spoiler written all over it… With that said let’s begin..

    warmup

    15 IC GM, WM

    25 IC SSH, IW, Arm press Jacks

    15 IC Arm circles Forward/Reverse

    the thang

    To the monkey bars for a series of 10,8,6,4,2 pull-ups and dips followed by 10 elevated swing crunch’s per round. Over to the court for some Merkin suicides as Wacker stated. Consisted of right leg and left leg up Merkin followed by bear crawl 2 steps to half court. QIC quickly realized his overly aggressive intentions when after 4 sets he had journeyed a distance of less desired proportions and quickly modified to 4 steps on the bear crawl.. Brief recovery at half court, then continued the format of a staggered Merkin left/right 4 step bear crawl till completion. Feeling the effects of a Dwayne Johnson (the Rock) chest at this point the QIC shifted to the lower half. Squats to lunge walk each leg down the court and back. Next to the benches for  a Steve series of Bulgarian split squats 10IC each leg followed by the Freak nasty 15IC R/R.. With 9min to go shifted to the Core at center court. 1 min front plank, 25 IC FK, 1 min Right side plank, 25 IC LBCs, 1 min Left side plank, 10 IC Right side crunch and finished with 10 IC Left side crunch.. Completion!

    One can’t thank Bushwacker enough for posting and  keeping this YHC accountable, not only to himself  but also to the AO.. What we have on the Northshore is unique in so many ways. We have 6 days of NO excuse workouts for men in all shapes and areas of fitness.. The only hangup this Q sees is the hangup within ourselves, and I for one can see how easy and tempting it often is, but when you have that F3 Brother holding you accountable the likelyness of that occurring quickly becomes the 94 percentile..

    count off (great sound effects Wacker), Announcements (not today), COT (if a circle is possible with 2)

    QIC prayed us out.

    Appreciate the post Bushwacker and the great chatter!! I will be on alert for that Blue moon on Wednesday at the Gipper..

  • F3 Baton Rouge or Bayon Rouge – It is finally official – Noah’s Ark

    Like a Mommy Hyena hearing her pups call in the night – I was forced to hand off my Mothership Q for a chance at 15 minutes of fun in the Red Stick.  I knew those guys were in the capable burpee filled hands of FRACSAC.  Thanks Frac for taking my NOLA Q.

    Alarm clock popped at 445am.

    Rain.

    Park and wait.  515am

    A quick iced coffee from Morning Call – a little FOMO at the post Mothership coffeeteria in that exact spot in 3 hrs.

    Clown car:  Jingle Vader, and Babyface and YHC.  Hawg decided to fly solo.   Hawg posted last night that he expected 30 guys to post – I was worried he had a line on the 30 guys and was trying to figure out riding situations.

    1 hr drive.  Good convo with the other clowns.

    620am stop at Walmart for towels.  Steady rain now – lack of driver preparation.

    650am arrive at AO.

    Upon arrival there are 4 Shovel Flags planted.  Some reunions – and 21 PAX settle in for Red Stick beatdown!

    Baton Rouge wins the award for the most unusual dress code:  in attendance today – lots of pants, parkas, raincoats, turtle neck, 2 pairs of jeans, did i see jorts?, steel toed shoes, and the monkey feet shoes.  Stay Classy Baton Rouge!

    Jingle Vader brought a 5th flag.  Baton Rouge flag, Houston Flag, Pontiff Flag, Uptown Flag, and a Northshore flag!

    700am Hawgcycle started the show with a little shock and awe.  YHC was looking forward to a 10-9-8 descending Burpee count but that is OBTs shock and awe.  Hawgs shock and awe always does 10 burpees.  (Hate)

    First pearl – SSH x 31 *not 30 because of Wally Pontiffs number, burpees x 10, Imperial Walkers x 25, burpees x 10,  windmill x 10, burpees x 11, Tiger Bait Q’d an over head clap x 15, Worms Q’d SSH x 15, burpees x 10,  Mega Dad Q’d pistol squats right leg x 10, left leg x 10, burpees x 5 Along the way during this circle.  During windmills – I may have hiked up my shorts a bit so that Rudy could notice my quads.  (I wonder if he did?)

    **2018 is the year of the clap according to Hawg he wants to give the burpee clap to everyone in F3.  Good luck with that brother.

    715am Long mosey to down to the base of a big hill.  Partner up .  Partner one goes up the hill backwards twice.  Partner 2 does AMRAP squats.  Then flapjack.  Then Partner 1 does goes up the hill backwards twice and Partner 2 does merkins AMRAP.   **Hawg split at this point.  Slippery on the hill…Kind of made it fun.   At one point f3 – Mega Dad called me out for not cresting the hill.  I laughed because it wasn’t a modification just me being lazy.  Next time up the hill I made sure to crest the hill with authority.  That is why I love F3 – the accountability — MegaDad was teasing but he was right.  We can always hold each other to that level.  If it is a modify that is one thing, if it is whiskey dicking then push yourself!

    From here we mosey’d to the sundial.

    730am At the sundial we did step ups-left x 15, dips x 20, step ups -right x 15, declined merks (dirkins) 10 oyo, here ROOTS with his excellent cadence got us doing Power Ups x 20 left, Power Ups x 20 right.

    740am Hand off to STEVE.

    Steve long mosey’d us to the baseball field across Highland Road.  He divided us into 4 groups.

    Group 1 25 burpees at homeplate (the count)   Group 2 Peter Parkers -amrap    Group 3 Plank Jacks – amrap   Group 4 – Squat Jumps – amrap

    home to 1st – bear crawl, 1st to 2nd – duck walk , 2nd to 3rd crab crawl, and 3rd to home – bunny hop.  A little mini-animals on parade or NOAH’s Ark in the RAIN.

    The rain really hit hard during the baseball field!  Good stuff from Steve and a good way to show BR all of the awesome stuff to keep in the F3 bag of tricks.

    748am Final mosey up the hill to the Flags.  At the final circle we still had 5 minutes so I explained the concept of 6min of Mary (6mom).

    755 am Jingle Vader led us in the Russian Twist x 20 and the Dr W x 10.  Damn that Dr W.

    Our final exercise of the F3 Baton Rouge launch was led by our guest from Texas.  F3 Houston’s TP led us in OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Mary.  An awesome exercise that I had never seen.  Will add it to my next NOLA Q.  and  a great way to FINISH!   Legs make a long circle while the Q says O Mary.  The count happens at the bottom – a goofy cadence but fun!  TP Tclaps for the gift!

    8am COT – Great prayer led by Shooter.  Thanks for the inspiring words brother (Tclaps).  We named FNG two shoes, FNG money cat, and FNG bow down.  So cool that this launch had reps from NOLA, Northshore, and Houston.  PAX headed to Franks for coffeeteria.  Nice spot for food-beats Starbucks.

    Excited for F3 Baton Rouge.  I hope it works.  You have been planted – it is up to you guys to make it grow.  You should try to add a weekday workout at a totally different AO soon.   Every guy who is posting needs to EH someone to join you in the gloom.  That growth will keep new ideas, energy and excitement at the workouts.    Don’t be nice with nicknames – workhorse and fastball got off easy.  Its OK to twist the knife a little.  Neck brace mentioned he would like a name change and at breakfast Roots came up with DOLLAR COLLAR.  I like that new one too.

    830am Franks

    945am back on the road to NOLA

    1040am drop off Babyface and JV

    11am show up at the hizzy

    Good luck BR – make it happen we are all counting on you guys.

     

     

     

     

     

  • Merkin Madness and Frozen SeaMan

    Bartman informed the Pax halfway through the gloom that frozen Seaman will last forever. True. Strange, but true. I’m not sure what question lead to this strange revelation, but true. So, anyway… YHC was a little nervous for my virgin Q at Wolfpack Mountain. Then I rolled in 1 minute late to a Pax of 16 men anxiously awaiting their beatdown in the gloom. Aye-yi-yi. Sorry to keep you waiting, my brothers.

    But safety first! We made time for the usual disclaimer, and off we go. We made a slow-mosey loop down St. Charles Avenue to end at the beautiful lawn in front of Loyola. Even after the freeze, it’s still some of the best grass Uptown. Circle up for the first COP:

    SSH x 20 IC
    Imperial Walkers x 20 IC
    Low slow squats x 20 IC
    Windmills x 10 IC
    Arm Circles 10 forward, 10 backward IC
    Mountain Climbers x 20 IC

    Next we mosey to the bottom of Wolfpack Mountain for Animals Up the Mountain. What better place for Animals on Parade than Wolfpack Mountain??? Well, this was met with several groans, and as it turns out, there may be better places for this than a parking garage. But we must press on!
    We ran up the garage, and did animal walks at each end of each parking level.
    Floor 2: bear crawl
    Floor 3: crab crawl
    Floor 4: plank walks (OK, OK, not an animal, but whatever)
    Floor 5: duck walks
    Floor 6: frog jumps

    The top of Wolfpack Mountain is the best part of this location for YHC and many of the Pax. On this day, we will use this beautiful spot to alternate between Mary and Merkins. 2nd COP:

    Merkins x 10 IC
    Flutter kicks x 20 IC
    Left-arm staggered Merkins x 10 IC
    Hello Dolly x 20 IC
    Right-arm staggered Merkins x 10 IC
    Single-leg V-ups x 10 IC
    Left-leg cross-over Merkins x 10 IC
    Penguins x 20 IC
    Right-leg cross-over Merkins x 10 IC

    Down the mountain we go to the park benches on the Quad. Everybody grab a bench.
    Left-leg Power-Ups x 20 IC
    Dips x 20 IC
    Right-leg Power-Ups x 20 IC
    Decline Merkins x 10 IC

    Mosey back to the great lawn and partner up. One partner lunges across the lawn and back while the other partner holds a regular plank, left arm plank, and right arm plank. 2 sets, and we are out of time.

    Run back to the flag. Count off, Name-o-rama (apologies to Sandbar for calling him the wrong name in my oxygen deprived sate), announcements, intentions, and a prayer. A shaky start and a shaky ending, but we got it done in the middle! Thank you for letting me lead!

  • On the Fly at The Mothership

    Reluctant Yankee was scheduled to Q for the Mothership, but the Baton Rouge Launch was calling for him like a Hyena mother calls for her pups in the middle of the night. Since YHC had some commitments with the M this day, it made sense to take the Q and let our Regional Nantan show his F3 physique to all the new Baton Rouge men, a sign of what F3 will do for you.
    YHC was preparing the beatdown the night before, then a bottle of wine came calling, similar to some of the calls made by referees against the Saints in a playoff game. There was just too much to consider….would it be raining….would it be muddy….does any of that really matter…..?
    With the list sabotaged, it would have to be on the Fly!
    After a brief disclaimer, and some mumblechatter from Rudy about being one of the worst he’s ever heard, it was off to the peristyle for a warmup. Rudy went the other way, running his 20 miles this day in preparation for his marathon in March. That’s some serious commitment! T-Claps to Rudy!

    Warmup
    SSH IC x 31
    Imperial Squat Walkers IC x 10
    Mountain Climbers IC x 20
    Peter Parkers IC x 20
    Parker Peters IC x 20

    Mosey to the NOMA Fountain
    Box Jumps x 10 OYO (No Bongo today, so all good)
    Derkins IC x 10 (4 count)
    LL Step Ups IC x 10
    RL Step Ups IC x 10

    Short mosey to the line of trees for a modified Dora (Thanks to Tool for the inspiration at the Uptowner beat down)
    Partner Up
    Pax 1 Bear crawls from tree 1 to tree 2, then backward bear crawl from tree 2 to tree 1.
    Pax 2 does Burpees
    Flapjack
    Continue until 100 Burpees cumulative is complete.

    Short mosey to the bike path on the other side of NOMA for the Bataan Death March
    Indian Run on bike path, with last pax dropping for 5 burpees, then sprint to front of the line. YHC was the last Pax to drop for Burpees, and the Pax conspired to speed up the mosey to bring a little extra pain to yours truly. Well played……

    Shorty mosey back to the row of trees for a modified Burpee merkin fest
    First tree
    5 regular burpees
    Bear Crawl to second tree
    5 double merkin burpees
    Lunge walk to third tree
    5 triple merkin burpees
    Bear Crawl to fourth tree
    5 quadruple merkin burpees
    Lunge walk to fifth tree (you guessed it)
    5 quintuple merkin burpees
    Sprint back to first tree

    Mumble chatter was flowing about burpees, so more burpees shall be served up!

    Short Mosey to the NOMA Fountain
    Partner Up
    Pax 1 run up steps, do 5 burpees, run back to fountain
    Pax 2 Dips AMRAP at the fountain
    Flapjack until 5 full evolutions are complete, or 25 burpees to each pax

    Short mosey to green space near the tracks for some Mary
    Flutter Kicks IC x 20 (YHC commented to keep your head off the ground, which induced much mumble chatter for all of Mary)
    Tin Snip IC x 20
    Hello Dolly IC x 20
    LBC IC x 20
    Freddie Mercury IC x 20
    Putins IC x 10

    Mosey back to VSF. Upon arrival YHC found one minute remaining, so mosey to the Great Lawn for 10 Burpees OYO.
    Mosey back to VSF.

    COT

    Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and closed with a prayer to the Sky Q.

    NMM
    T-Claps to the several Pax that found their way to Baton Rouge today to help spread F3, which is a gift that is difficult to describe in words. We come together from all walks of life, where we share a common goal, which is to become better men and to become stronger leaders, among other things. I’m honored to be a part of F3. The coffeteria after the beat down is always great, and is never dull!
    The Pax each did roughly 115 burpees today, with a lot of other exercises. Well done, men!

  • A Bit Warmer 610 Stomp

    I originally wanted to take the route over the Wisner overpass and do some “hill” work,  but from initial drive by Monday night,  way too much construction and hazards….. Last thing I want to be responsible for is an injury to Rudy disrupting the Marathon aspiration.

    So we take the normal route 15 minutes out to the bayou and back,  doesn’t get get any easier than this.

    Back to the track,  run the straights,  jog the curves for a short speed work out.

    Then some good old fashioned stretching, no need for Burpees or Merkins,  6-7 leg stretches

    15 dying cockroaches

    20 LBCs

    Hold a plank

    I think it is time

    Count, name-a-rama, announcements, intentions, COT.

    Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

  • Bear Crawl and Bicep Bonanza

    A no-frills yet solid morning was enjoyed by five men at The Uptowner on Friday.  The Q slot was empty the day before so YHC hopped on it and threw together some ideas to bring the sweat.  The focus was stretching, core work, and showing some love to the biceps.  Here’s what we did:

    Windmill x15

    Arm Circle x20

    123 Ups (not sure of official name?) x20

    Lunge Hold x45sec ea side

    Stationary Inchworm x20

    Peter Parker x20

    Low Country Crab x20

    Low Slow Squat x20

    SSH x30

     

    Grab a rock and line up approx 15yds from the paved track.  Here we completed a grueling round of Elevens:

    Rock Curl at start x1-x10

    Backward Bear Crawl to track

    Merkins x10-x1

    Forward Bear Crawl

    This brought out some grunts and groans, as well as some signature JV breathing.  Glad to report that the PAX dug deep and made it happen with very little modifications.

    Regroup and circle up for a four minute “Rotisserie Chicken” plank routine, one of Marlin’s specials.

    Then on to some more rock bonding:

    Curl x20

    Row x20

    LS Squat x20

    Curl x10

    Row x15

    Curl x10

     

    Next up, a round of Mary:

    Crunch Block Press x20

    Hello Dolly x20

    Penguins x20 (stressed good form getting shoulders off ground and reaching to front of foot)

    maybe one more???

     

    Then, shoulder press rocks as we walk back to rock pile and gather around the flag for 2-3 minutes of stretching.  T-claps to Triple Shift, our kinesiology guru, for hoping in and leading on of the stretches.  COT to seal the deal.

     

    Always a great way to start the day.

    Tool

  • The 4 Horseman at Okwata

    Okwata just doesn’t get enough respect. Let me clarify that statement; Jingle Vader posts to Okwata quite often, so it gets lots of Respect, so it’s the other kind of respect it lacks. YHC read the informative email from our NOLA Nantan at the beginning of the week where, once again, Okwata lacked a Q. Has Okwata not shown enough love? Do we need to bring the H8 back early? YHC was reviewing his own schedule last night and saw an opportunity to post to Okwata. Upon checking the Q sheet and seeing a vacancy, YHC dropped his name in the slot.
    YHC arrived at the AO with 3 minutes to spare, and none other than JV was awaiting. As YHC informed JV that the Q slot was now taken, Mahatma joined us. YHC gave the disclaimer in the 44 degrees weather with a wind chill that brought it down a few more degrees. Time to get warm……

    COT
    Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and ended with a prayer to the Sky Q.

    NMM
    Abacus is becoming a regular at Okwata, which is outstanding. This was the first time Mahatma joined us at Okwata, and of course JV is one of our staples.
    Thanks for joining me today. There are plenty of opportunities to sign up for Q, so take a look and see what you can do.
    Baton Rouge Launch is this Saturday. It’s going to be a good one, so go if you can. Mothership is on as usual, so post there if you can’t make it to BR.
    Thanks for posting with me today!

  • Krazy Ivan 2018

    The events depicted in this Backblast are completely stupid and utterly pointless.  Any similarity to events which are neither stupid nor pointless is purely coincidental.  

    No animals were harmed in the running of the Krazy Ivan.

    The Inagural Northshore Krazy Ivan CSAUP went off as planned, sort of.  The Northshore won, the Southshore whined, and it was….warm??!!??  The lack of frigid conditions made for a slightly less stupid but still rather pointless event.  Next year, we will aim higher.  Without further ado…

    Twenty men gathered at the gazebo on the Mandeville lakefront on a beautiful, starry, breezy Saturday evening: 15 Northshore PAX, 1 Northshore Scorekeeper, and 4 Southshore PAX.  Lots of mumble chatter, a bit of trash talk, and some ogling at the Freedom Hammer ensued.  Somewhere around 2100, as the PAX waited for Triple Shift to open the needle valve to bleed some pressure (a little oilfield lingo, there), THE Manny rung the bovine bell.  Some quick instructions from YHC, including a warning of low visibility, potentially questionable footing, an offer of flashlights (offer summarily rejected), and the PAX gathered at the starting line.  Hawg mumbled something about the Gnarly Nutria always beginning on time.  Uh huh.

     

    With another ringing of the bovine bell, THE Manny released the hounds.  Turbo, Backdraft, Steve and all the other skinny dudes went out guns blazing.  Out and back to the west end seawall x 3 was the course.  The easterly breeze made for a nice tailwind on the way out that was as appreciated as was the equal and opposite headwind was loathed on the way back.  That is, unless you were Triple Shift.  You see, Triple Shift had a strategy, folks: get right on the heals of a really good looking, husky PAX and run in his ample slipstream the entire race, save for the last 50 yards when you turn on the reserves and blast past him.  So if you think about it, Triple owes YHC one of his points.  But more on the (contested) scoring later.

     

    The course was dark, sometimes nearly pitch black.  Although Orian’s belt and the waxing crescent were quite visible, the running path was at times not.  As 19 PAX trekked and traversed back and forth, forth and back, we passed those both ahead and behind us, those who lapped and those who got lapped.  This afforded the PAX opportunity to root for, hiss at, tease, encourage, or mock those we were passing.  I can speak for Triple, as he was behind me the entire time benefitting from all my hard work I mean seriously did I mention that already I mean it’s not a big deal that he got one more point than I did but really when you think about it I should at least be added to his Christmas card list but whatever I’m not bitter or anything.  Particular attentiveness and night vision skills were needed to navigate the last two tenths of the west end.  YHC had specifically warned the PAX about this risky, questionable section of the course.  So it’s a good thing that YHC himself did not take a tumble and nearly bust his ass on the exact part of the course on which the warning was issued.  That would be ironic.  Dontcha think.

    At the finish line, the PAX again gathered and coalesced.  Fracsac volunteered for Safety Caboose, finishing up the race and also ensuring that no man was left behind, injured, abducted, or absconded with.  Thanks Frac.  THE Manny tallied up the score and announced a 176-31 Northshore victory; looks of mistrust appeared on a few faces.  Perhaps that was because they were expecting a 177-31 loss.  But, abiding by the only rule of the Krazy Ivan – run the race in a tank top – THE Manny exercised legislative, judicial, and executive powers and stripped Turtle of his single point for finishing the race in a hooded sweatshirt.  Coutoramma, Nameorama, BOM, and off to The Barley Oak for some F2.

    At the BO, drinks were had an all was merry.  Tomatoes tested the neck twisting and head turning capabilities of Captain Sparkles (ok, his were not the only capabilities tested…hellLLOOO black dress).  An impromptu yet formal meeting of the F3 Rules Committee adjudicated on the ability to move an AO once it is established.  Verdict: negative ghost rider, pattern’s full brah.  At this point, Hawg petitioned the Rules Committee for a formal, third party review and calculation of the night’s score.  THE Manny’s honour in question, YHC immediately began the process.  Third party results are in, proving that you should sometimes watch what you ask for.  The final, certified, verified, bonafied count is 190-35.

     

    Excellent CSAUP, PAX.  T-Claps to the Southshore guys who posted.  We will see you at the 2018 Gnarley Nutria.  A pleasure to be amongst you.

  • Invasion of exchange students

    Well we guess that Cavalier didn’t get the memo for this AM – Douille?  Did you let him know he had the Q?
