  • The Nashville Nasty in the war torn Gipper – from Jose10k

    YHC arrived to a very, very chilly Gipper. It was a disaster. Trash everywhere, beads everywhere, camping chairs all around, total wasteland. This is were I would love to insert a great GIF to paint y’all a picture of the Gipper. Steve’s right, we need to be able to add pictures and GIFS. Maybe even insert short youtube clips. I began a little prethang run (keep logging in those RunCajunRun miles) to arrive to see 5 others who took the red pill this morning. A little grumble grumble with Akbar for leaving me high and dry (figuratively) on Monday. However, imitation is the highest form of flattery. I decided to use his Nashville Nasty workout from Saturday on the Covington AARP crowd. Squat thruster, curls, rows, derkins, skull crushers, and world war 2 situps. 10 reps each, 1/4 mile run, 11 reps each, 1/4 mile run, etc…Modifications were made, coupons were destroyed, extended laps to log in for RunCajunRun miles were made. I can’t wait for February to be over. COT, Akbar prayed us out. Intentions: Turbo dog is getting a pedicure today. My wife and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary of our 1st date today. Thank y’all for letting me lead, thank y’all for reading too.

  • Surprise Q by BBQ – from BBQ

    Einstein volunteered me to Q on the spot. He said I was showing the most energy and somebody needed to do it. As always it is an honor to be part of F3 and lead these fine young men. Warm ups were self love, arm circles, imperial walkers, hillbillies, mountain climbers, inverted mountain climbers, scuba Steves, leg swings on your tummy ( I have no idea what the official exercise is called) and SSH. The Thang was an 11. Burpees and squats. In between 40 yards of forward lunges and backward lunges one way and 5 steps and a star jack the other way. We had time some hip stretches. The PAX had 4 prayers for those in need. YHC was Elvis RIP for Stella. Moby prayed us out.

  • Stripes: Razzle Dazzle! – from Jose10k

    Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! The hell’s the matter with you? Stupid! We’re all very different people. We’re not Watusi. We’re not Spartans. We’re Americans, with a capital ‘A’, huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We’re the underdog. We’re mutts! Here’s proof: his nose is cold! But there’s no animal that’s more faithful, that’s more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw “Old Yeller?” Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end?
    Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I’m sure.
    I cried my eyes out. So we’re all dogfaces, we’re all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We’re mutants. There’s something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us – we’re soldiers. But we’re American soldiers! We’ve been kicking ass for 200 years! We’re ten and one! Now we don’t have to worry about whether or not we practiced. We don’t have to worry about whether Captain Stillman wants to have us hung. All we have to do is to be the great American fighting soldier that is inside each one of us. Now do what I do, and say what I say. And make me proud.

    Psycho: The name’s Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I’ll kill you.
    Leon: Ooooooh.
    Psycho: You just made the list, buddy. And I don’t like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I’ll kill you. Also, I don’t like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I’ll kill you.
    Sergeant Hulka: Lighten up, Francis.

    Recruiter: Now, are either of you homosexuals?
    John Winger: [John and Russell look at each other] You mean, like, flaming, or…
    Recruiter: Well, it’s a standard question we have to ask.
    Russell Ziskey: No, we’re not homosexual, but we are *willing to learn*.
    John Winger: Yeah, would they send us someplace special?
    Recruiter: I guess that’s “no” on both. Now if you could just give Uncle Sam your autograph…

    John Winger: Why’d the chicken cross the road?
    Soldiers: To get from the left to the right
    John Winger: He stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank
    Soldiers: He ain’t no chicken no more

    I am hoping with the title that you started remembering how great that movie was, and how it could not be made today. Oh well, it was the theme to the workout this morning. So we had a warm-up, picture us singing
    There she was just a-walkin’ down the street, singin’
    ‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
    Snappin’ her fingers and shufflin’ her feet, singin’
    ‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
    She looked good (Looked good)
    She looked fine (Looked fine)
    She looked good, she looked fine
    And I nearly lost my mind

    Okay, to the actually workout. The stripes on the parking garage: 1merkin, skip a stripe, 2 merkings, and so on. On the way back, 1 squat, skip, 4 squats, skip, 8 squats, and so on. Back again, lunges. 2 is 1: 1 skip a stripe, 2, skip a stripe, 4, then 6, and so on. Finished up with 2 minutes of stretching. COT, prayers for my coworkers husband in ICU, Hammer and his home purchase and future house being sold, and good will to all that need it. SOGO has the Q tomorrow, turkey trot next thursday. SYITG, thanks for letting me lead this amazing group of young men.

  • A smorgasbord beat down! – from BBQ

    It was a team effort. The mighty four rotated exercises and had a wonderful beat down. There were so many and I can not recap. All good! Barely Legal added two runs around the block for some aerobics. COT and prayer out by Legal. It was a fun PAX.

  • We lost a Moby, BBQ is NOT a Swifty, and Steve still can’t write a backblast – from Jose10k

    Happy National Beer Day gentlemen. It was a foggy, smokey morning at the A1C. Discussions were plenty during the warm-ups. So much so, there wasn’t even a cadence. And after grass grabbers, there wasn’t a Moby anymore either. He tweaked something in his back. But the beatdown had to continue. After the warm-ups, where we learned that BBQ is not a Swifty, even though he is a huge Chiefs fan, we moseyed to the Rock Garden, aka Stonehenge, aka BedRock, aka the butterfly sanctuary for some rock work. 7 exercises, 10 reps each: shoulder presses, curls, rows, squats, lunges, chess presses, and big boy sit ups. Rotate to the right and repeat. YHC was worried about Moby, so we moseyed back up to the top to see him stretching out that back. So we did some 4 corners. 5 burpees at each, and lt. Dan the length of the parking garage, 2 lunges, 1 squat, 4 lunges, 2 squats, and so on. Finished up with 5 minutes of Mary. BBQ prayed us out, remember about the spooky monster mash tomorrow gentlemen. See Steve, that’s what a backblast looks like.

  • BLIMPS in Covington – from Fletch

    Warmup: 15 IC, Self Love, Grass Grabber’s , Merkins, Arm Circles (forward and back), Windmills, Plank Jacks, High Jack High Jill, Imperial Walkers, Shoulder Tap Merkins.
    Thang: 5 Burpees, 10 Lunges, 15 Imperial Walkers, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jacks, 30 Squats. Mosey to the caboose and do Burpee’s. Mosey to the next corner and do Burpee’s and Lunges. Mosey to the Taj Mahal and do Burpee’s, Lunges and Imperial Walkers. Around this time Mobydick went lame on us and couldn’t complete the run portion so we did side shuffles and back pedals between sets, in the parking lot, to complete the BLIMPS. We then made our way to the rock pile for 3 sets of bent over rows, curls, presses, tricep extensions and round the world ( rotate weight around cranium) both directions, all without putting the weight down. Moseyed back to the Gipper and a set of LBC’s and Flutter Kicks. Fletch prayed us out. Thanks for the Q. See you in the gloom.
