  • The Joy of The Stack… and unstack???

    The Joy of The Stack… and unstack???

    7 Pax showed up at 45th & Erlander at 0530 to break in the new AO known as The Joy “of dry feet” at The View.

    The Q welcomed folks on the street with a reminder of the 5 Core Principles of F3 ~ Always free ~ Open to ALL men ~ Help Outdoors (rain, shine, heat, humidty) ~ Peer led ~ Close with a COT and a reminder with the new AO starting on the street to be respectful of the neighbors who were still sleeping.

    The warm up consisted of self love, arm circles, and Chinook… none of which were done in cadence so we could keep the noise level virtually non-existent on the street.

    We then each grabbed two cinder blocks and did a farmers carry up the paved walkway to the top of the level so we could enjoy The View while still having dry feet 😉 Once on the top we spaced out for social distancing and to allow space to start our stack

    Round 1 ~ Do a burpee, jump over the block, do another, repeat for 5 burpees

    Round 2 ~ Repeat round 1 and now add 10 cross over merkins with one hand on cinderblock…. so left hand on block, right hand on ground, do a merkin for one; walk hands over block so right hand on ground and left hand on block, do a merkin for two; repeat for 10 merkins

    Round 3 ~ Repeat round 2 with 5 burpees, 10 merkins plus add 15 curls

    Round 4 ~ Repeat round 3 with 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 curls plus add 20 step ups with high knees (10 each leg alternating for a total of 20)

    Round 5 ~ Repeat round 4 with 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 curls, 20 step ups plus add 25 shoulder presses

    Round 6 ~ Repeat round 5 with 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 curls, 20 step ups, 25 shoulder presses, plus add 30 chest presses.

    Round 7 ~ Top of the mountain ~ Repeat round 6 plus add 35 tricep presses

    Round 8 ~ Coming back down… repeat round 6

    Round 9 ~ Repeat round 5

    Round 10 ~ Repeat round 4

    As the Q realized he was over-ambitious in his stack & unstack quest and time was running out because he failed the group by designing and unrealistic stack and unstack in the allotted time; we farmer’s carried our blocks back down to the base at 45th and Erlanger for COT.

    All in all the 7 Pax seemed to enjoy the new AO

  • Then There Were Two

    Then There Were Two

    THE VIEW – ENJOY THE VIEW

    After not posting for over a week because of vacation, YHC was mentally ready to post, but knew he was not physically ready. Because YHC did a Lot of eating, A LOT of 12oz curls, and too much enjoying doing nothing. With a final hurrah yesterday, YHC was for sure hurting physically when the alarm went off. As YHC walked up the top of the Levee, he didn’t spot any parked cars or any PAX waiting for his arrival. YHC however, noticed one of the most amazing sunrises he’s ever seen. YHC told himself even if no one else post he was happy to be up to witness this amazing View.

    YHC looked around, he looked across the way, to his back, to his right, then to his left. To his surprise he saw a dark figure walking toward him. A few steps closer he could see the dark figure was none other than Hawg. YHC and Hawg had a quick greeting but stopped to take in god’s beauty. We both took a few pics, waited for that time in the morning and moseyed down the levee to get started.  YHC modified the workout slightly to accommodate 2 PAX. YHC also gave a disclaimer but this disclaimer wasn’t the usual disclaimer, it was the hungover, disclaimer.

    With 10 minutes left YHC was feeling rough but knew we had 10 more minutes.

    Hawg asked YHC if he was ready for real Quadraphillia workout. YHC agreed but knew this might be bad.  

    Mosey on top of the levee to our meeting spot. Hawg turned to the southside of the levee and set his watch to 4 minutes, said, AMRAP always facing south up and down. To YHCs disappointment Hawg lapped him 3 or 4 times. Time was called, YHC did one last lap just to try and regain any respect possible for his low performance.

    Mary

    Got on our sixes and did Dying cockroach x 20

    Time was called

    The End

    COT Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions and closing prayer.

    Thanks for posting with me Hawg and pushing me. I hope the workout was worth the 16-mile bike ride.
