  • We have 23ish…

    23 PAX posted at WPM for ILoveYouMan’s VQ. After a quick introduction and disclaimer we were off with a quick run down St Charles and back to TD Jesus.

    WARM-O-RAMA

    • 20 x Grass Grabbers, 20 x Self Love, 15 x Windmills, 25 x SSH, 20 x Mt Climbers, 20 x Peter Parker

    THA-THANG 1

    THA-THANG 2

    Chumbawamba Burpees – Music  = “Chumbawamba” (their only song), SSH and then Burpees done every time the words, “I get knocked down, but I get up again” are said.  Total = a lot of burpees and complaining

    THA-THANG 3

    • After the amazing music routine, the PAX headed to the mountain where we did an Indian run to level 3 followed by 20 x wide arm merkins. We then side shuffled and sprint to the next level followed by 20 x pickle pounders. Backward run the next flat with an attempt to Alligator merkin+ bunny hop the incline followed with 20 x diamond merkins. Finish off the mountain with a run to the top of the mountain and complete 10 x dirty hookups, 8 x partner decline merkins while partner is in plank + 10 x leg throws.

    • 20 x low country crab, 20 x penguins, 20 x LBC, Grass Grabbers with stretching

    Wrap it all up with a quick count off that was botched by Angies List and name-o-rama. Thank you all for enduring my VQ!

  • Tropical Storm??? Who’s Gordon???

    Pre-Thang

    Couple days before the Q, YHC was anticipating a windy, rainy, stormy workout at the Birdcage, if any workout at all.  YHC wasn’t even sure if he would make it out alive from TS Gordon.  Schools and businesses were closed for days.  Gas station line at Costco was extended to Carollton Ave.  Media was all over the storm.  With all the hype around Gordon, 19 PAX managed to meet up on a dry Wednesday morning.  At 5:30, YHC gave his standard disclaimer and off the PAX.

     

    Warm-ups

    Moseyed to the band stand  and did the following in cadence:

    SSH x 20

    Forward Arm Circles x 10

    Backward Arm Circles x 10

    Hill Billies x 20

    MC x 20

     

    Highway 90

    After the warm-ups, walked over to Oak Alley, picked a partner and off the PAX on a modified Route 66 partner merkins workout.  The PAX took an alternative road to Highway 90 instead because of possible road blockage due to damages / debris from TS Gordon.  Since there are only 9 light posts as the marker, the PAX ended up doing 2 partner merkins (patty cake, merkin, patty cake) at the first light post, 4 partner merkins at the second light post, 6 partner merkins at the third light post……… 18 partner merkins at the last and ninth post.  Totaling to 90 partner merkins.

     

    Tropical Storm Gordon

    After getting off of Hwy 90, the PAX ended up by the Fountain.  TS Gordon has arrived (One of the calmest storms ever.)  Each grabbed a coupon and executed a GORDON Workout OYO

    Goblet Squats x 15

    Overhead Presses x 15

    Rocky Balboa x 15 on each foot

    Depth Jump from the coupon x 15

    Overhead Presses x 15

    Nolan Ryan (feet on the coupon) – x 15 each arm

     

    11’s

    Trying to dodge Gordon and waiting for the storm to pass, the PAX hunkered down at Oak Alley by the fountain.  The PAX lined up each of his coupon in the middle of the Alley.  Started off on one side with 10 leg raises, crossed the alley where the coupon was located, 11 curls, then went to the other side for coverage with 1 burpee.  On the way back, stopped at the coupon and did 11 chest presses, then back to the original side with 9 leg raises.  Finished the workout with 1 leg raise and 10 burpees.  So in total, the PAX toughed out 55 leg raises, 55 burpees, 110 curls and 99 chest presses in between.

     

    Round of Mary

    Flutter Kicks with Coupon in arms extended chest press position x 20 IC

    Scissor Kicks with Coupon in arms extended chest press position x 20 IC

    American Hammers x 15 IC

    The PAX hid the blocks by the fountain and moseyed back to the flag for the COT at 6:17 a.m.  YHC blames Gordon for those extra 2 minutes.  Running against the wind was extremely difficult, but we made it through.

     

    COT

    Count-O-Rama 19PAX, Name-O-Rama, announcements, intentions.  Thankful TS Gordon didn’t hit NOLA directly, but pray for the victims of the storm by the Mississippi and Alabama coast.  Thank You all again for the opportunity to lead.  SYITG

  • What a year!

    As this appears to be the week of anniversaries, YHC decided to add his 1 yr. anniversary into the mix by Qing the Birdcage.  So with a short disclaimer we were off!

    Mosey to Kick-Ball Field for Warm Up

    • Imperial Walkers IC X20
    • Windmills IC X15
    • Parker Peters IC X20
    • Hillbillies IC X20

    Mosey to the Levee for:

    Burp Back Mountain  –  Partner Up, 1st partner goes up backward and then down 3X while other partner does burpees then switch.  Rinse and repeat until PAX complete 100 burpees combined.

    Got to call Burp Back Mountain so we can beat the oncoming train.  Most groups were done.  Nice job PAX!  Thanks Mariah for reminding us that some people have to make carpool.  Good news, all the PAX beat the train.  That could have been ugly.  Wait is that rain?  Yes it is. On to the next Thang.

    Run to Track by Running Man at Monkey Bar station for Route 66 – Start with Inch Worm to 1 merkin, 1 Plank Jack to Pop Jack and Inch Worm up then run to next running man.  Add 1 merkin and 1 plank jack to the inch worm-merkin-plank jack-pop jack-inch worm sequence at each running man up to 11 merkins and 11 plank jacks.

    Now the rain is coming down HARD.  Much mumblechatter about how it never rains this early in the morning and whether the rain is good (cools PAX down) or bad (shoes feel like 5lb. weights).  For what it’s worth, in 150+ workouts this past year, YHC can only remember one other beatdown where it rained and YHC was definitely cooled down.

    Rain has stopped!  So no need for YHC to modify by moving to the coziness of the shelter.  Off to the Fountain.

    Cross Over to Fountain – Grab a Cinder Block for:

    • Curls IC X 20
    • Tri-cep Extensions IC X15
    • Rows IC X20
    • Military Presses IC X20
    • Chest Presses IC X 20
    • Elf on the Shelf OYO X20
    • Nolan Ryans on Block OYO 10 each side

    Time is almost up.

    Mosey to Flag for Count-Off, Name0rama, Announcements, Intentions and Prayer.  T-Claps to Pony Boy for consistently posting with us old guys.  Good luck to you in Atlanta.  We hope to see you back in NOLA often.  Congrats to Quarterpipe who announced his M would be induced the next day.  Sure enough Quarterpipe’s 2.0 is here (Eighthpipe).  Well done sir!

    And thanks to all the PAX for making this a very life-changing year for YHC.  Never could have imagined how YHC would be changed both physically and spiritually by joining a “workout group”.  As the PAX knows, F3 is so much more.  It’s a group of #HIM.  Here’s to continuing to grow F3 in Greater New Orleans!
