Blame Akbar. This was his doing, really. His “block party,” (henceforth known as ‘Akbar’s Abomination’) – which was preceded by Tank’s Murph – pretty much guaranteed that Saturday’s beatdown would focus on legs and core. But first, the pre-thang : the usual 2 miles out and back with the …
With beatdowns returning to normal operation, Q decided to incorporate a different route picked up from the underground post of weeks past. Generally PAX would run the loop and back out down to the point, but this Gloom instruction was given to head up Monroe to West Beach then take …
YHC has made a few questionable decisions in my short tenure at F3, but this one may have taken the cake. Coming back from one of the hottest, sleepless camping trips I can remember; my first Murph early on Memorial Day; and a family hike after. I remembered I had …
Eight men met at the park to give our annual Murph challenge a go. We gave our respects to our fallen soldiers then headed out for the first mile run. From there we moved to the workout bars and commenced the 100-200-300 exercise journey. We wisely chose a 5-10-15 plan …
F3 Northshore officially is back in business. Sixteen PAX posted to the reopened Mandeville Lakefront Saturday morning for a beat down, and a soggy morning beat down it was. After a Warmup consisting of: Imperial Walkers 20x, Merkins 10x, Windmills 20x, Plank Jacks 20x, Copperhead Squats 20x, Mountain Climbers 20x, …
Wow, it’s been a while since YHC has logged onto this site (or even used the term, “YHC”). The days are growing near when these backblasts will become just another (well, let’s be honest, bothersome) routine. But… not yet. So this was the second weekend in a row …
PAX: Akbar, Bean, Bushwacker, Cowbell, Grover, Grundy, Hammer, FNG, Shooter, Steve, Tarheel, THE Manny, Turbo Tax, Waterpick QIC: Akbar 14 men posted Saturday to celebrate the New Orleans festivals that were not to be. Great to see everyone again in the gloom as things seem to be moving toward the …
Inspired by St. Patrick’s use of a shamrock to explain the mystery of the Trinitarian God, we soothed our anxious souls in the gloom this morning with a full-on Irish, trinitarian beatdown. Warm-ups were SSH, Seal jacks, arm circles, Windmill’s IW’s, high knees, and butt kicks. Then, after a moseyed …
As the clock turned 6:30, the pacs who dared to walk outside during the corona virus hysteria, could not help but notice the coupons that were awaiting them for the beat down. But before we get to that, let’s warm up…… Forward arm circles – 10 IC, Reverse arm circles …
Waterpik was waiting in his wagon-dragger; YHC was parking askew; Akbar was approaching with a headlight out that he kept remembering to forget to change; Cowbell was nearing, earnestly on time; Burgundy was sneaking up irregularly – regularly late….and Shooter was sleeping through his alarm. WARMORAMA x10-15 IC: High Knees, …
