  • Run, Jump, Crawl at the A1C – from Einstein

    A cool 51 degrees at 5:15 a.m. with steady 7 knot breeze at the A1C, atop the Justice Center Parking Garage.

    Warmup:
    all 15xIC: toe touch, ss hops, good-mornings, imperial walkers, neck rolls, hillbillies, shoulder stretch, high kneees, butt kicks, smurf jacks, ankle rotate, hi jack hi jill, etc.

    Thang: run the ramps forward and backward
    then head to the parking stripes for merkin bear crawl, star jack jumps, with core at the four corners.

    All had fun…with mumble chatter about BBQ’s minor league football team,
    then the fun stopped when Moby Dick blasted us with a “wendy’s chili special.”

    Count-o-rama

    Mathlete led us out with prayer.

  • Ballgames – from TurboTax

    After a quick warmup of imperial walkers, toe touches, mountain climbers, windmills, SSHs, and seal jacks, the PAX headed over to the Justice Center for some ballgames. Operating in a cone demarcated field, the PAX played a passing game with a tennis ball. Various permutations with various penalties for fumbles had the PAX working hard on their ball skills. Tanked Up was particularly adept at handling the ball, and one can only think he gets lots of practice. At any rate, fun for all and then we traveled back to the shovel flag for our countorama, nameorama and prayer. Thanks for letting me lead guys. Krazy Ivan this Friday at 8 p.m. Mandeville Lakefront gazebo with F2 afterwards at the Barley Oak.

  • Four Cistercian Monks + One – from Einstein

    A cool 40 degrees for the gathered PAX, this past Wednesday morning, at The Gipper
    And good to see cousin Bushwacker, with broken wing, some how able to fling water-logged cinder blocks around with one arm.
    His only complaint was the silence – how quiet us oldsters were. He broke the monk-like silence with some welcomed chatter.

    Warmup:
    Toe Touch, Imperial Walkers, SSHops, Cherry Pickers, Hillbillies, Scissors, etc

    Event: 3 sets of cinder block coupon work, each followed by a run around the block
    set one; upper body
    set two; core
    set three; legs

    Mary: bear crawl, crawl bear

    Count-o-rama, Bushwacker leads us out with early morning matins.

    Cheers

  • Cottoneye Joe with a deck of death with PAULY D!!!! – from Jose10k

    Alright Gentlemen, another wild beatdown at the A1C. Warm-ups: SSH, followed by a burpee, SSH, followed by 2 burpees. A little prequel to a musical introduction that will follow. Some more stretches, all ic.
    Cotton Eye Joe time: The song plays while the PAX does SSH, everytime the words Cotton Eye Joe is sung, you do a burpee. (25 in total by my calculations).
    After that, we did the deck of death with a twist. Each person was assigned a suit, and each time their suit came up, they picked the exercise. We did everything from burpees, 8 count body builders, to merkins, diamond merkins, fingertip merkins, staggered merkins, yuri merkins, slow squats, lunges, side lunges, jane fondas, hello dollys, lbcs, big boys, freak nastys, etc..
    The two jokers: lap around the parking garage with sprints on the straight aways to finish off the deck. COT with a FNG. Now Bushwacker texted me last night to speak of the high standards of naming FNG’s, and the importance of giving them the right, appropriate name. David, Hogsbreathe’s friend, from Slidell needed an appropriate name. He was a fellow New Jersian. “D”avid who went to the shore, so I immediately thought of Pauly D from the Jersey Shore. Once I uttered the name, Hammer exclaimed it as well. If the two of us came up with the same name, then it was meant to be. So welcome to F3, “D”avid, or now known as Pauly D.
    If you get a chance gentlemen, please consider donating $43 dollars to Shooter to our fallen brother Cardinal. All that information is on slack. If you need help, just reach out to one of us for the info. Feb 3 is the Crazy Ivan where my nephew looks to repeat as grand champion, and the northshore looks to hold onto the freedom hammer. You don’t have to be a runner, there are ruckers too.
    Thank y’all for the opportunity to lead this morning. Y’all have a great Friday, and a great weekend. As always, SYITG brothers.

  • Boss Boss….The Chain Plus – from Mobydick

    The Gipper had a perfect morning for The Chain…Plus. The PAX was small so we all got plenty of drag time. After a brief untaxing stretchy warm up the 4 of us ran a block to where the chain was laid out on Columbia St then of we went dragging it back the way we came through the oxlot a block away. Then another block run to get the Plus…two brake discs from my recent brake job 40 lbs or so and back to thread the 100’ of chain through them. Now we are ready. A count off to keep the 4 of us organized. Number one YHC took of with both end of the chain and dragged the brake disc as far as the burn would let me. Mean while 2,3,4 did an exercise. When the rattle if the chain stopped they ran the 100 yards or so and number two picked up the chain ends and dragged it back as far as he could go while 1,3,4 did the exercise choice of 1. When the noise stopped of we run to stopping point and 3 takes it back mean while the pax does what 2 suggests til tge noise stops and of we run. Hopefully you get the idea thank for 45 minutes nobody stopped doing something. Four round trips each brought us to the final block long drag back to the truck. Einstein seemed to go forever though he had to stop once fir traffic and found out how hard it us ti regain momentum.
    A final short mosey to the flag and an obligatory SSH x10 to take us to COT and a prayer.
    Turbo you missed a good one.

  • A1C Cornucopia – from Einstein

    A cool 39.5 degrees at 5:15 a.m. atop the Justice Center Parking Garage. With the air so fresh, even a gaseous pax would prove ineffective.

    Warmup:
    all 20xIC: numerous
    then, off to the ramp for a backward run down the ramp, out to the street and up the stairs returning to our starting point

    Thang:
    using parking lot stipes as our template, and the four corners for core exercise pit stops, we did even more numerous things – hard to believe.

    All had fun

    Count-o-rama

  • Leg Day at The Gipper – from TurboTax

    Five PAX walked away from this morning’s beatdown at The Gipper with a little less pep in their step. After a warmup of Imperial Walkers, Shoulder Taps, Toe Touches, Peter Parkers, Squats, Parker Peters, Seal Jacks and Mountain Climbers, all 10x IC, we headed over to the Justice Center for some partner work.

    Partner 1 kicked started our first set of exercises with box jumps on the Justice Center benches while Partner 2 bear crawled to the next set of benches and then crawl beared back to relieve Partner 1. The Partners combined for 50 box jumps.

    Following on this first effort, we rinse and repeated the concept combining 50 Hand Release Merkins/Run up the Justice Center Steps and down the Ramp; 100 Leg Raises/Run up and down two flights on Justice Center Parking Garage Stairs; 100 Curtsey Squats/Run down the ramp and backpedal up the ramp; 100 Mountain Climbers/Run up the stairs, 1 burpee, then run down the stairs.

    We then made our way back to the shovel flag with a stop for some Bobby Hurleys, 20x OYO.

    Oh yeah, we enhanced most of our traveling today with lunges, toe walks, skips, and carioca.

    Two minutes of balance challenges once we made it back to the shovel flag. Countorama, nameorama and then Fletch prayed us out with another solid beatdown in the books.

    Thanks for letting me lead guys and thanks for joining me to start another great day.

  • STARjacks and STRIPES at the A1C – from Einstein

    A cool 41 degrees at 5:15 a.m. atop the Justice Center Parking Garage. With the air so fresh, it would make a can of Febreze blush.

    Warmup:
    all 20xIC: ToeTouch, SideStraddleHops, ShoulderRolls, ButtKicks, Swimmers, HighKneees, NeckRolls, Scissors(BBQ excels at this), WindMills, One Minute of RockyBalboas

    Then off to the ramp for a serpentine run down the ramp, followed by a serpentine backpeddle up the ramp, more or less in an Indian Run fashion.
    And for the record, I’m lobbying to have the “Indian Run” renamed to “First Citizen Run.”

    Thang: using parking lot stipes as our template, and the four corners for core exercise pit stops:

    Round One: Lunge Walk forward two parking spaces and Lunge Walk backward one parking space – traversing the whole uppper deck
    at the corners; iron crosses, hello-dollies, rosalittas, front-to-back leg swings

    Round Two: StarJack Jump at ever-other parking stipe, increasing the jump count by one every-other stripe; (first stripe 1 jump, next stripe 2 jumps,
    next stripe 3 jumps…) – traversing the whole uppper deck
    at the corners; across-the-body leg swings, merkins, shoulder tap merkins, crawl bear

    Count-o-rama

    Always good to hear the banter and mumble chatter at F3 – just like a bunch of brothers, which we are.

    Rock-A-Chaw Fletch led us out with prayer.
