“We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding–tribes. This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival.” – Sebastian Junger Four PAX including YHC showed up for The Skinny 4th …
A Pax of 12: 11 men of NOLA and 1 visitor from Columbia, SC posted at WPM to kick off the 4th of July weekend. Rosenbagger was in for a week long electrical conference, I believe. Tclaps Rosenbagger for posting! DISCLAIMER Tha Thang Warmup mosey around St. Charles and over to …
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 …
Leading my VeryfirstQ enabled me to get out to Audubon earlier than ever before – approximately 05:20. My Weather Channel app indicates that the humidity was higher than the temperature – 87% vs. 81°, which is hard to believe, because it sure felt hot. We warmed up in place: 40 …
Pre-Thang YHC had a late night at a soft opening of the Ponchatrain Hotel and didn’t get the BackBlast written until last minute. That usually means burpees will be the beat down culprit. So not a moment was spared after the disclaimer with a Slaughter Starter: start with 10, then …
Pre-Thang After a torrential pour down through the evening, it was time to get sloppy. F3 is rain or shine, beeh-beh (New Orleans tongue for saying, “Baby”). Luckily, the rain brought a crisp coolness to combat the humidity. The PAX set out to become better men in the dampness. Warm-Up …
Nice post Jazz Fest soggy morning full of receding gloom. Moderate amount of fartsacking today (Captain Morgan and others.) Left us with a PAX of 9. Good quorum for getting it done. Good transitions kept the HR up and let us get 6 COP of 4 exercises each done. Each …
“Life is a matter of balance” – Unknown 15 men of NOLA decided to get better this muggy gloom. Tclaps to the FNG’s: Tinkles (f.k.a. Tee-Tee), G-Spot, and Quick Draw (EH’d by Chaka Khan… who must be a great EH’er since he hasn’t posted in 6 months) – Tclaps RY for …
With most of PAX absent on Saturday, we started the workout with the burpee countdown (thanks to OBT): 10, 9, 8, 7 then a layup of sorts with only 5 more for a total of 39. 39 was the theme of day with YHC hitting the big 4-0 this week. Moseyed …
Fifteen faithful PAX of F3 NOLA steadily trickled in Audubon Park this am for the usual Wednesday sweat fest. This was YHC’s second Q at the Birdcage and had been kicking around a few new ideas. With April being the peak of festival season, YHC thought it was only fitting …
