  • Change. I hate change. or is Ch-ch-ch-changes? Stomp #45

    OK – I admit it. I hate burpees. I love them but I hate them. So I generally avoid Tuesday (its my wife’s day) but even if I can make it- I avoid it. So I decided to take the Q just to mix it up. I did want to work on my running!

    So it was 7 PAX in the gloom. No lights at the track to set the mood. Lights kicked on at 545.

    Ran in for a COP. I know you guys told me – no COPs on Tuesdays. Oh sorry to the whinners – you know who you were. I am still licking my wounds from a loss in the 7/8 playoffs last night and I can’t take it out on a bunch of 7 yr olds so you guys get to deal with my pent up anger.
    SSH x 20 , Low Country Crabs x 20, Hillbillies x 20, Pylo Merks x 20

    Then to the running workout.
    Approx 30 yrds –> High knees, Butt Kicks, Lunge Walks, Power Skip for Height, Power skip for distance, Karaoke with knee to waist – this was awkward, so I went regular karaoke for the other leg. Of course Hawgcycle like the awkward way. The only person who likes awkward more than Hawg is mr Awesome. Then finished with Backwards run and backwards crab walk.

    The Thang: 10 in 10. Run the straight away of the track and jog the curve 10 times. The goal was to beat the PAX. Tclaps to El Wire for the big hustle. He almost lapped some of the PAX. Tclaps to Rudy for pushing hard – he was the only PAX to finish to the cones. Yes I noticed!
    All of the PAX was back to the Circle by 9.5 min. Good work men!

    The 2nd THANG: or THANG 2: Back and Forth x 10. Backwards run 30 yards then spring when you get the 30 yrd mark. We did this 10 times in 2 heats. Tclaps to Hawg who won more than half of the sprints.

    Then we collected the cones and mosey’d to the clearing.
    Here we did some abbreviated Mary.
    Dying Roach x 20, Leg Lifts x 15, Russian Twist x 15
    Then the punch out for 10 Burpees.

    Finally we close with the COT.
    At the COT – we were thankful for all of the blessings in our lives.
    Specifically with our families.
    #gratitude

    Always a pleasure but an extra pleasure to VQ the 610 Stomp.
    Peace-
    RY

  • QAR BackBlast 6/28

    With four shovel flags providing a rally point, 12 Carterico veterans and vacationing veteran Landing Strip met in the Rotarian gloom for Queen Anne’s Revenge.  Landing Strip traveled all the way from Nawlins and had beads ready for the one called Nipple Shot.  But with Nipple down the road, Blue Cross provided the boy gone wild moment and got the beads.

    With the PAX properly welcomed and disclaimed, YHC had some words from Paul to share.  “We must also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope.  And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit” Romans 5:  3-5.  These words proved to be pretty fitting before the end of this morning’s workout.

    As the PAX moseyed off towards the warmarama, THE Sensation and Steamer broke away from the pack.  I’m not really sure where they were going, but they were going there with quickness.  Luckily both guys are very coachable and could be coached into the correct turns so YHC didn’t have to steal the old man’s bicycle to keep up with their frenetic pace.  We used the summer light to head down the old wooded boardwalk to look for old crack pipes and leftover OE.  After emerging from the woods, we headed over to the middle parking lot for

    Warmarama

    25 yard strides x 2

    25 yard high knees x 2

    SSHs IC x 20

    Good Mornings IC x 20

    25 yard carioca x 2

    One Legged Sun Gods IC x 10 forward (left leg up), x 10 reverse (right leg up)

    Hand release Merkins IC x 10

    Warmed up to the standards of Olympic athletes, or at the very least their grandparents, we moseyed off towards the pristine big soccer field.  Side note, bravo to Brad Campen and the boys that work on the grounds in Rotary Park, it’s in great shape.  With rows of cones demarking each sideline and midfield, the PAX rolled in for

    The Thang 1

    Everybody loves a rack-n-stack, so YHC felt obliged to put one together.  Gathering on the east sideline, the PAX would jog to the midfield cones and then go to a full sprint to the west sideline, there performing 5 Catalina Wine Mixers.  Upon recovery, we backpedalled to the aforementioned midfield cones, then turning and jogging back to the east sideline.  Once at the sideline, we kept the 5 CWMs and added 10 Should touches.  Run/Sprint back to the west side (admit it, you either just said west side in some hip hop-ian voice, or you just Tupac’d your hand into a W) and we kept the 5 CWMs and 10 Shoulder touches, and added in 15 plank jacks.  Backward run and forward run back to the east, we kept the previous 3 exercises and rep numbers and tacked on 20 Peter Parkers.  It was at this point that comments about lack of mumblechatter started.  And I’m pretty sure that was the extent of the mumblechatter.  I’ll take that as a compliment.  But alas, we weren’t done, and its back to the otherside keeping all four exercises and their reps and finishing with 25 Carolina Dry Docks.  There’s rumor that Madoff had to wipe grass off of his face following some sort of revolt by his shoulders.  This is an unconfirmed rumor.

    In honor of THE’s return, YHC led the PAX on a recovery mosey back around the park and through the wooded boardwalk again and rallying at a random sedan parked/stranded in the back lot.  Madoff provided a much needed 10 count as Steamer’s pulse began to come down to 160.  Not wanting him to fall asleep, we headed back to the soccer field for

    The Thang 2

    The first rack-n-stack had sufficiently smoked the upper half, but now it was time to shock the lower half.  Our means of locomotion would be the same as before as only the exercises would change.  First up was 5 burpies, then 5 burpies with 10 lunges on each leg.  Trip 3 kept the 5 burpies, 10 lunges, and added 15 Wojo jump squats.  Across the field again and we kept the burpies, lunges, wojo jump squats, and 20 imperial walkers on each leg.  The PAX then raced back for the final lap pushing through the burpies, lunges, WJSs, and imperial walkers.  Boss Tweed then led us in 30 SSHs to finish the 2nd Thang.  Why 30?  Because 25 just wasn’t enough for Boss Tweed.

    YHC would love to report that the PAX ran back to the shovel flag, or even moseyed back to the shovel flag.  We walked.  And I do not feel about it.  Back at the shovel flags, it was time for

    TClaps to Madoff for not calling YHC out for his egregious fart sack ayer.  Lo siento amigo.

    TClaps to Loon and Reef Donkey.  Keep pushing.  There’s no quit in those guys.

    Announcements

    3rd F was held at Cox’s Family Restaurant after the QAR and Ranger, and will continue to meet each Tuesday as we read and discuss Freed to Lead.  Whether you’ve read it or not, have the book or not, please feel free to join us next Tuesday.

    This Friday’s Crystal Coast Stampede will meet in front of the Atlantic Beach public park, aka across from Bojangles, aka across from Shroom’s skate board park and putt putt course.  Madoff will again have the q.

    Prayer Requests

    Prayers for Cousin’s family in West Virginia.  And prayers to all those battling the rain and flooding up there.

    Continued prayers for Tiny Dancer and the Wheeler family.

    Continued prayers for Aubrey Bell and the Bell family.

    Steamer led the PAX in the BOM with words of gratitude for the many blessings we have.  He also spoke of thanks for allowing so many of us the strength and opportunity to pray out loud and surrounded by so many that we care about.  That really hit home for YHC.  I personally thanked them the other day, but I will in this forum as well.  If not for Big Mic, Rameses, and Steamer, I’m not sure I would have ever considered taking the group out.  You have all given me confidence and inspired me to step way out of my comfort zone.  Sincerest thanks.

    I’m so very thankful I got to spend the morning with you guys…

  • Half-Burpee Supreme

    Eleven men gathered in the still, humid and of course hot gloom of ole Audubon.  At precisely 5:31, allowing for Yankee’s obligatory tardiness, we moseyed to the bandstand for the start of a non-traditional Monday workout:

    First COP: SSH x25, Mountain Climbers x20, Elbow Mountain Climbers x15 (a bit tougher than standard), Swing-through lunges Right leg then Left (YHC needs to figure out the cadence), Peter Parker x20, Elbow Peter Parker x15, Squat to Squat Jumps x20

    Mosey to the bench behind the bandstand: Dips x15, Dying Cockroach on bench x20,  Bulgarian Split Lunges Left x15, Right x15

    Mosey to the track: Run to each light for the Half-Burpee-Plank-Jack-Merkin-Supreme, 5x each light, 25 total. After ten of these it seemed like a bad idea but thankfully everyone finished with a positive attitude asking what’s next…way to go PAX.

    After a brief water break and a count off by C-man or (C-Men, thanks Cav) , we moseyed back to the bench: RLSU x20, Incline Merk Right leg up x10, LLSU x20, IM Left leg up x10

    Back to the lights: Half-Burpee-Crossfit-Merkin x5 each light, 25 total. Thanks to Bad Moon for suggesting increasing the count each light but 25 seemed to be more than enough for today.

    Now longing for the traditional Monday track run, we moseyed to the soccer goal near the zoo. Two groups: one group holds on the bar (The Bernie) and the other does Double Burpees (two merks and two jumps) five times then switch.

    Moseyed to our last COP across the field from the Tomatoes:  LBCs x20, Legs Ups x15 (bad cadence again), Russian Twist x15, One Arm Planks – Northern Aggressors then Southern Gentlemen and finished with the plank walk x15.

    Mosyed back to the flag for count, name-o-rama and prayer:  Gave thanks for the health to continue F3 each day and to continue to form good habits. Asked for strength for Root’s friend and his family who are dealing with their son’s suicide and guidance to all who have lost their sense of belonging.

    Thanks to all for starting off the week right…more fun next Monday.

  • Boss Kean’s Benevolence

    Eight men gathered around the SF. Surprisingly, I’m not a trainer…let’s mosey.

Good job, now move it back. The chain gang did such a fine job, Boss Kean’s Benevolence shined when he allowed them to take a break….and have a seat of the People’s Chair, with rock. To alleviate the boredom, rock presses x 20 IC. Drop rock and take a break. REMINDER: Dredd’s guidance to us to pick up the Mumble Chatter. Pick it up, have a seat and let’s do some curls x 10 IC. Break over. Time to bring the rocks home. Mosey to the pile, give a toss and find some nice grass for Mary.
    Mary:
    -LBC x 30 IC
    -Hello Dolly x 30 IC
    -Flutter Kicks x 30 IC
    -Penguins x 20 IC
    -Y’s x 30 IC
    -T’s x 30 IC
    TIME SERVED

    Count off, namerama, announcements, shout outs, prayer. Great start to the week.

  • Catfish Beatdown Day

    On this two-headed monster Q today replacing an “out-of-town” Amnesty, Bubba gave disclaimer and let everyone know about National Catfish Day. Since there are no catfish themed workouts in the Lexicon, YHC decides to focus on legs, since catfish have none. Then began …

  • 40

    Twas sticky and warm at Okwata.  Typical June morning, 10 PAX including YHC set off to better ourselves.

    Inspired by a recent family roadtrip, when The Best Closing Song for a Rock Concert EVER popped up on Spotify, and YHC got to tell stories about his youth to his captive kids in the backseat….

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcTA2Y0pOPA

    (apparently this was a somewhat controversial choice as best ever.  But whatever.  My Q, My Rules).

    Warmup: Disclaimer, then off to the fountain lawn.  A bit disappointed to find such dry and recently cut lawn in front of the fountain.  Where’s the muck and mud, YHC wondered…  SSH x25, then planking for PP x20, MC x20, PP x20.  Then mosey to the Levee for The Thing

    The Thing: 40

    Stare at the behemoth in front of us.  We are going over it 40 times.  10 exercises.  Each exercise in 4 sets.  Each set is 10 reps.  Alternate sides of the levee for each set.  When we’re done, we’ll have done 400 reps, and crossed over the levee 40 times (with YHC throwing in 40-themed facts, trivia and tripe)

    • Exercise 1 – Low Slow Murican: What’s more Murican then a Mickey’s Big Mouth 40 oz Malt Liquor?  Did you know 40s are illegal in Florida?
    • Exercise 2 – Box Cutter: The 40th mayor of New Orleans?  The illustrious (and apparently accomplishment-less) Isaac L Patton
    • Exercise 3 – Low Slow Squat: NFL players with jersey #40 retired?  YHC called out 4 (but there are actually 5) Joe Morrison (WR Giants), Tom Brookshire (DB Eagles), Mike Haynes (CB Patriots), Pat Tillman (S Cardinals) and Gale Sayers (RB Bears)
    • Exercise 4 – Plank Jack: ND National championships in the 40s?  4: 1943, 1947, 1948, 1949
    • Exercise 5 – Diamond Murican: 40th state to join the Union?  South Dakota – also having the smallest capital by Population (Pierre, 14,000 potential pax)
    • Halfway point.  Pause, Bogey gives us 20.  PAX grumbles.
    • Exercise 6 – American Hammer: Did you know “Forty” is the only number with letters in alphabetical order?
    • Exercise 7 – Lunge: American Top 40 All time hits leader?  #1 is easy – Elvis.  PAX proceeds with guesses (good ones: Beatles, Stones, Elton John; Bad ones: Right Said Fred – seriously Mav?).  #2 on the list – Lil Wayne.
    • Exercise 8 – SSH: PAX catches a break, as YHC decides to skip the Burpee’s originally planned for this spot.  How many NCAA seasons with a player averaging 40 PPG?  5 – 3 of which are local hero Pistol Pete.  The others: Frank Selmy and Johnny Neuman.
    • Exercise 9 – Durkins: YHC has run out of facts, having left a few more tidbits on his Weinke in the car.
    • Exercise 10 – Flutter Kicks: PAX seems to be grumbling “Let this End”.  But we plow through

    Mosey (really really slow mosey) back to the Flag.  Seal the deal with 10 Burpee’s OYO.

    Finish with Countoff, Name-o-rama, Announcements and Prayer.  Please continue to remember Cable Guy’s wife, and whole family, and prayer for her health and successful treatment.

    PAX: Thank you for persevering with me through this.  I wasn’t sure we’d make it through all 40 trips, but you inspired me to complete.

    And somehow, I forgot to close with Psalm 40 verses 1:4, which was part of the whole point of the workout.

    I waited patiently for the Lord;
        he turned to me and heard my cry.
    He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
        out of the mud and mire;
    he set my feet on a rock
        and gave me a firm place to stand.
    He put a new song in my mouth,
        a hymn of praise to our God.
    Many will see and fear the Lord
        and put their trust in him.

  • Three ‘cides to a Good Story

    Pre-Thang: Sixteen PAX gathered right on time for a good old summer “soul crusher”. After the disclaimer we took off at 05:30.

    The Thang: Mosey over to golf club house and around to the grass near the bandstand for warm-up COP: Plank Jacks x 25, Squats x 25, Plank Walks x 20, Low Slow Squats x 15, Mtn. Climbers x 25, all in cadence. Short mosey to festival of lights.

    Circle up for warm-up #2: Forward arm circles standing on left foot, then on right foot x 15 IC. Down to business: Burpee Suicides x 5 at each light, then back to the start. When complete, 5 more then plank and wait for the six.
