  • Pick Your Poison…For Some of Us! – from Space Cowboy

    Weather: 77 degrees, party cloudy, low humidity
    We had beautiful weather for this morning’s beatdown and I was eagerly joined by @Bolt, @Charmin, and @Fracsac.

    Warmup
    Slow Squats x10
    SSHx15
    Abe Slogodas x10
    Imperial Walkers x10
    Forward Arm Circles x10
    Backwards Arm Circles x10
    Seal Claps x10
    Moroccan Night Club (Charmin Special) x10

    For the thang, I based it on an IronPax beatdown. PAX could choose any mix they want of the 2 exercises (pick your poison) as long as they had 100 cumulative reps.

    1 Round of the Following

    100 cumulative reps of either block merkins or squats with blocks
    200 yard mosey with block to top of JPAX ramp of pain and back
    100 cumulative reps of either block swings or Bonnie Blairs
    200 yard mosey with block to top of JPAX ramp of pain and back
    100 cumulative reps of either block thrusters or traveling lunges with blocks
    200 yard mosey with block to top of JPAX ramp of pain and back

    Unfortunately, @Charmin and @Bolt either enjoy taking their poison, were showing off, weren’t listening this early morning, or their Q failed to communicate effectively (doubtful) but they proceeded to do 100 reps of each exercise or 200 cumulative reps. Considering that the official IronPax beatdown involves 3 rounds for time, I think they got closer to experiencing the full wrath of this IronPax workout. I guess you could consider that @Fracsac and I were slacking this morning compared to @Bolt and @Charmin but we now know that we can potentially get through 3 rounds of this Iron Pax beatdown in 45 min. Until next time!

    Round of Mary. Back to flag. COT.

  • Rain or Shine, Pax show up – from Charmin

    After Mayhem getting called out for not understand one of the rules of F3 and having everyone HC over at Okwata (maybe that was his goal all along?), YHC was unsure if anyone else would be posting at the Wally Run. With 4 minutes to spare, sounds of nose squeaks and pies started to fill the air. While thinking that the trains got new horn sounds, a Lakeview Clown car soon appeared.

    Pax did their normal thang and there was even a Pool Boy sighting out in the neighborhood.

    While there ended up being less rain than expected, Pax proved that showing up is half the battle, and that sometimes a nice cooling rain helps more than it hurts.

  • Attendance Award: Uptown Pax – from Bolt

    8 pax assembled for various activity with “down rangers” from Uptown. There was running, S&M, and whatever Chaos Monkey was doing with his sandbag.

  • 3 & 17 years – from Charmin

    For such a momentous anniversary, it wasn’t brought up at all during the beatdown.

    That being said, the ruckers did discuss the state of our state and what we are able to do within our spheres of influence.

    Who knows what the runners did; we found them laying (they claim to be stretching) on the ground 45 minutes after we left them.

  • The Rusty Q – from Space Cowboy

    After being on the mend for the past 3-4 weeks, I was looking forward to getting out to the local AO again and seeing everyone. When I arrived, my welcome back gift from @Charmin, @Chips, and @War Eagle was Q duty for today’s workout so I had to make something up on the fly. Although I was able to come up with something, I soon found out that I was a little rusty on F3 protocol, counts, etc. after not being a Q for 3-4 weeks and, thankfully, @Charmin was quick to point out my mistakes and corrections.

    Warmup
    Slow squats x10
    Abe Slogodas x10
    Forward Arm Circles x 10
    Backwards Arm Circles x 10
    Seal Claps x 10
    Hillbillies x 10

    The Thang

    Today we took the Lasalle 1.25 mile path starting at the flag, past the Saints facility, around the NOLA Gold field, past JPAX and then back to flag.

    1 burpee every other light pole (104 light poles in total or 52 burpees)
    In between every other light pole, we did a mix of light jog and lunges
    At certain points on the path, we also performed 20 reps of squats, merkins, BB situps, and crunches
    At JPAX, we did lunges and backpedal up/down the ramp, step-ups x 20, and 3 sets of dips x10.

    Back to flag. COT. Glad to be back.

  • The Assumption of Mary – from Charmin

    For those who didn’t know, today is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    That being said, there were three Ruckers and 1 Runner. YHC is Assuming that everyone is saving their energy for tomorrow’s Q v Q beatdown!

  • The Early Bird – from War Eagle

    Charmin made me write this.

    The idea was simple—early workout conducive for those who have early carpool for their 2.0s.

    We came to La Salle, warmed up, lift some coupons, ran some, and prayed around a flag at the end.

    Grateful for the PAX that encouraged this madness. Come join us next Tuesday.

  • Who’s your Partner – from Charmin

    Who’s your partner

    Warm-o-rama:

    Slow-vagodas x 10
    Grass Grabbers x 10
    Low Slow Squats x 10

    Arms:
    Forward x 10
    Backwards x 10
    T-clap x 10
    Seal Claps x 10
    Chinooks x 15
    and the fan favorite: MNC’s x 10

    The Thang:

    Pax were instructed to find a partner.

    Heading towards the playground, there must always be one person running forward and one person KnOTing. Up to the pax to figure it out.

    Along the way, the PAX were required to take a detour since the Jefferson Parish Park Department decided to start doing some construction work last week and didn’t clean up their mess.

    As a recovery, YHC exhorted to the PAX the importance of circling back for your partner, even if they seem to be going backwards.

    When we get to the playground making sure to instruct pax on hanging leg raises instead of pull ups, set up as usual expect for two people. Doing wheel barrels where one person shoulder shrugs the other’s legs. Timer is 20 shrugs.

    Two rounds of that, and we Get back to warmup pad traveling same way but completing the loop, and thus avoiding the construction.

    Stopping at JPAX to face away from the police station for 10 IC Monkey Humpers.

    Mary:

    Partner leg swings
    Penguins
    Bolt-Lead Protractors
    Appreciators

    COT

    Focused on us being there for our partner, being considerate and gracious when we think they are going backwards, and to be thankful when they circle back for us.

    P.S. YHC wants to thank all the LaSalle regulars (non-F3) for pointing out that YHC left his phone at the playground and for leaving it there.
