  • That’s a whole Tabata bricks – from Russo

    With attendance waning, Granny regular Steve potentially out with flu-like infirmities, and regular Marsh posters completing their early week duties, YHC assumed he might be flying sad clown solo this morning. Admittedly, I thought about turning over and sacking, but I’m glad my feet hit the floor, since a pax of 5 greeted Granny for some brick work.

    Warmup – 10x IC
    – Seal jacks (eventually)
    – Toe touches
    – Imperial walkers
    – Grass grabbers
    – High knees

    Thang
    Tabata:
    – 1 minute each with bricks, 20 seconds rest, with some moseying through the columns after each of the four rounds

    Round 1
    – 8 count body builders
    – Cherry pickers
    – Overhead claps
    – Nutcrackers
    – Hallelujah squats

    Round 2
    – Tricep extensions
    – Arm curls
    – Air presses
    – Squats
    – Arm circles
    – Milk maids

    Rinse and repeat rounds 1 and 2 for 3 and 4.

    COT, with NOR and prayer before heading back to start a Tuesday.

    Pleasant surprise seeing you all this morning. Mumblechatter was high on the entertainment scale, as movie quotes ruled the day. SYITG.

  • Mile for a Blimp – from Pass Interference

    YHC threw together a simple but strenuous workout this morning, that consisted of

    Warmup:
    – SSH
    – Copperhead squats
    – Imperial Squat Walkers

    First Thang was a a slow-mosy merkin mile, where 5 of some exercises were done at each driveway. We varied the exercises at random points through the mile.

    Second Thang, and this is when Pauly D showed up, we did a modified version of Hindenberg BLIMPS. With two stations, we performed 3 of the first exercise (Burpees), ran to station 2 and did 6, then returned. Then we followed in increments of 3, beginning with 9 and then 12 Lunges (one as one). Then continued through Imperial Walkers (NOT the Squat version), Merkins, Plank Jacks and Squats.

    Did a little mosy at Hogs’ suggestion to get us to the end of our time.

  • It’s A (Merkin) Trap! – from Akbar

    9 men showed up to get better this dark gloom for the annual Merkin Trap. It was so dark YHC was worried about seeing the Wiki if needed. But this has been done before, and besides making some cadence mistakes, went well with no Wiki needed.

    Conditions: near perfect, a little chilly, but not for long

    PAX
    Russo, SOGO, Hammer, Truecoat, Jose 10k, Grappler, Chewy, Akbar, Smuckers

    Warm Up x 12 IC – Grass Grabbers, Arm Circles, Self-Love, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Toe Touches, Windmills

    The thang went like this. Most exercises were done in cadence x12, x8, x5 – with one exercise followed by some form of Merkin. Total of 50 reps IC or 25 OYO. We moseyed around from the Flag to the Playground stopping along the way for:

    SSH, Merkins IC
    Rocky Balboa’s and Wide Merkins OYO
    Squats and Dirkins, Freak Nasty and Irkins IC
    Scuba Steve, Sister Mary Catherines IC
    Scuba Steve’s, Stone Mountain IC

    At this point in time, we headed back doing everything again tempo or Copperhead style – 3 count down, 1 count up on Merkins

    Supermans, Stone Mountain IC
    Copperhead Squats, Dirkin IC
    Freak Nasty and Irkins IC
    Rocky Balboas and Wide Merkins OYO

    Mary
    Back to the flag for LBC, Crunchy Frogs, Wife Pleasers, Heals to Heaven, Hello Dolly, and Rosalita with another 50 Merkins sprinkled in.

    450 Merkins in an hour.

    Count, Name, and YHC prayed us out with thanks for the opportunity to make us men stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually.

    Announcements
    Sign up to Q, Turkey Trot coming up.

    Thanks for following the lead gentlemen.

  • Captain Sparkles drive by – from Waterpik

    Yes, that’s correct. For any of you F3ers around long enough to remember Captain Sparkles, he did a drive by at the milestone marsh this morning and shouted out, “ I just wanted to see if y’all still came out here on Mondays.” Then he shouted, “50 merkins” and drove off. That’s as close as he’s gotten to posting at a beatdown in probably 5 years.

    Aside from that, it was business as usual for the Monday pax at Tyler Thomas playground.

    Prayers for hammer as he starts a 2 week trial
    Today.

    Have a good week men!

  • We ran – from Jose10k

    We ran and had coffee at the end. Beans oldest joined us for the last half mile.

  • EXICON Workouts at the A1C – from Einstein

    Cool this morning, in the 40s.

    Warmup: toe touch, ss hops, arm circles, imperial walkers, neck rolls, hillbillys, shoulder throw fling back press, scissors, thumb drives, imaginary jump rope

    Thangs from the Exicon: Four Corner Escalator, Quarter Pounder, & Webbicide
    ;totals were astronomical

    Finished up with some star jack jumps and 1 minute of rocky balboas

    DarkWingDuck prayed us out.

  • Common company for some but not the Q!! – from Shooter

    With the coolest morning upon us since last winter, 4 PAX joined YHC for the normal 5k. It felt like old times as Waterpik came moseying in on foot and Cowbell came rolling in as the warmup was underway.. YHC would have accompanied the lone Rucker Akbar had he not removed his Ruck from the car.. After the warmup of SSH, Windmills, Imperial walkers, GM, Mountain climbers, Peter Parker’s and Parker Peters the runners set out down E Causeway approach to Monroe down to Messina right to the gate and back to the AO.
    It was the Qs first opportunity to run with Cowbell, as Hammer and Pic set the pace with consideration for the big guy.. Enjoyed the conversation about hunting throughout the run, thanks Cowbell for stoking the thoughts of my future weekend in the woods..
    YHC had intentions of closing with some Core but after 20 WW1 sit-ups and the lack of recent post the cramps got the best of this Q, so he called multiple audibles, Carolina dry docks and Merkins to wrap-up..

    Appreciate the post gentlemen and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • And the North Wind Blew – from Mobydick

    Felt a whole lot colder than it was. Enough to keep the fart sacks full of Gippers except for the oldest Gipper. Just as well cause he was just off a Chiropractor visit that confirmed his lower back was locked up. Good news is all will be loose in time. It gave YHC a chance to stretch without having to provide a beatdown for the masses. The seasonal adjustment will see more participants next time. This is not the worst the guys have turned out for.

  • Modified Combine – from Hogs Breath

    First things first, yhc seriously considered calling an audible and fartscking this morning. It was only that yhc knew he had a commitment to show up and Q.

    As yhc pulled into The 007, there was Pass interference waiting and eager!

    Warm up:
    SSH, buttkicks, mountain man poopers, squat + touchdowns, and arm circles

    The thang:
    YHCE recently saw an Instagram reel which explained 95% of men over 40 will never sprint again in their lifetime.

    So we began with a couple of combine style 40 yard sprints. One pax kept a timer while the other would sprint, then mosey back and switch. Rinse, lather, and repeat for three rounds.

    A round of pull ups.

    Then a best of a 3, backwards Sprint.

    Next on to the strength portion of our combine, we mosey’d over to the rock pile, and grabbed the biggest coupons we could muster.
    Three rounds of chest press, and three rounds of squats.

    Back over to the flag for agility. A few rounds of twinkle toes, which included left, right, foreword and backward shuffles, and dropping for a merkin.

    Finished off with a lap mosey and COT.

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead, and knowing pax counted on me for the Q.
