  • Seventy-five and Still Alive – from Mobydick

    Under a full moon in wx to die for the combined pax of A1c and The Splash Pad came to get her to help YHC celebrate surviving and thriving with an All out workout for my 75th birthday. It was a pleasure be able to Q a wo that got some sweat out of some of the most season of us. A full body warmup with 75 reps of SSH Grass grabbers windmills high knees torso twist hi jill hi jack etc preceded the Thang. A mossey to the top of the garage ramp and a first of five sets of 15 dips With a run to the bottom of the ramp for the second set of 15 and back to the top for the third set you get the pix. For a total of 75 reps . Rinse and repeat with leg lifts, crunches, wife pleasers something else something else. Mix up the 25 or so runs up and down the ramps with backpeddles karaoke lunges etc and a good solid All Out workout that 8 years ago would have killed yours truly. But with the support and encouragement of my F3 buddies Thai old man that would have been headed for the home is now able handle all with grace. Thanks to you all.

  • Fall Back, Spring Ahead! – from The Hammer

    We lost an hour of sleep, and hour of morning light. It was dark, chilly, and a bit eerie at the playground this morning.
    Sounds like a solid beatdown at the marsh
    Warmups- Apparently there was a switch with the Q. Akbar had it originally, but the hammer chose to take over. SSH, self love, grass grabbers, imperial walkers, toe touches, etc…
    A beatdown of epic proportions.— upper body overload thanks to Hammer!
    First, Five rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 merkins, and 15 squats.
    2nd- mosey to the street to begin our trip to the lake front.We stopped at every other stop sign with merkins and core work Classic Hammer move ignoring the legs, continuing the upper body trauma from Waterpik, huh? And then finishing it off with dirkens, sit-ups, LBCs, and irkens at the lakefront..

    There was some good mumble chatter too. Hogsbreath on the job hunt, Hammer’s Houston museum trip, and Wicked going full primal mode for his track event — except he wanted to go no shirt, no drag, just speed. Upset that he had to wear his tank top, complaining that it only slows him down. Love it. Poor Jose, though, four and a half days of work… rough life. At least he only has 49.5 work days left until Summer break, 30 days until Spring Break. Damn, he doesn’t work much…

    What’s the next workout plan looking like? You hitting it again soon or resting those arms a bit?

    The Q sheet is open, the workouts are free, EH some new blood, headlock some brothers who haven’t shown up in awhile.

  • Runners, Ruckers and a Tweener!! – from Shooter

    With excellent conditions of 55 degree weather 8 HIMs embarked on the Scramble. Some early some on time and of course there is Cowbell right after rolling in hot. One needs to recognize the consistency picking up right where he left off from his F3 break while he shifted to straight running. PAX completed a few warmups of Torso twists, grass grabbers, Butt kicks, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies and Good Mornings. Instructions 20 out and back for the Ruckers and the Shooter route down W Causeway approach zig zagging back to the AO. Upon return completed some stretches and wrapped up..

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

  • Time to put some RCR miles on the board – from Waterpik

    Steve, Cowbell, Shooter, and YHC took off down to the lake front and put 4 miles on the board for RCR. 3 Ruckers: Jose10k, Akbar, and Hogs Breath. They claimed to have solved the world’s problems, however, Hogsbreath forgot to write them down. Oh well, perhaps next week.
