  • The Three Amigos: Ken from Humana does voiceover work? – from Jose10k

    3 HIMS woke up this morning and took the red pill to run through the streets of Mandeville. A Jose10k pace made the conversations even more interesting. Hogsbreath fartsacked due to a better offer he couldn’t refuse. 3 miles doing the usual route followed by 5 minutes of stretching for 2 of us who are off to do the turkey trot. While running, we were entertained by Shooters talent of voices and extravagant accents. A man of many talents. Happy Thanksgiving my brothers!

  • Merkin Maniacs! – from BBQ

    I was a chilly low 40’s on the top deck of the A1C! We warmed up with most of the usual warm ups. A new twist was added to LBC’s with a roll right and left after each LBC. The thang was 5 corners with a different set of 10 Merkins in each corner. Regular Merkins and incline both. On the 3 long stretches on the top deck and ramp to the 2nd level we did LT Dans 2/1 lunges and squats . We had some time at the end for some stretching. Moby prayed up out. It was an honor to lead these fine young men!

  • Happy Thanksgiving Eve: You have to bring a side to dinner y’all – from Jose10k

    Enjoying my week off of teaching, Qing my 3rd straight beatdown, happy to finally workout at the Gipper. The weather: somewhat cool, foggy, but a calm morning.
    Warm-up: The usual morning stretches to get everyone ready to workout.
    The thang: It’s Thanksgiving, and when you arrive to the dinner, you have to bring something with you, right? The best thing we can bring at the Gipper, a coupon. We each picked up a coupon. We did 10 kettle bell swings, 10 squats, and 10 merkins on your coupon. Rifle carry for 1/2 a block, repeat the exercises. Two blocks down, one block up, two blocks back.
    Return the coupon, circle up for some Mary.
    10 minutes of core with a Jose special: wife pleasers with extra pulses in the middle.
    COT with Shooter praying us out. Thank you for DrillBit for posting from Kady, Texas. Safe travels for all. I will see some of yall at the scramble tomorrow, I will see some of y’all at the turkey trot tomorrow. Everyone be safe, and have a happy Thankgiving. Tell everyone in your family how thankful you are to have them. I know how thankful I am for each of my F3 brothers.

  • Tunnel of Love: Nope, the Ladder of Hate – from Jose10k

    Muscle memory had me up early this morning, so YHC ran 2 miles before the beatdown. Of course there was music, classic soundtrack from American Pie inspired me to dance before the warm-up. It amused the guys.
    Simple warm-up- then to the tunnel……To the tunnel, are ya’ll crazy? Jose doesn’t do the tunnel. We moseyed to the outside of the stage where we were joined by an out of town visitor: Drillbit. Here is where we started the thang: Ladder Time. 10 reps of sumo squats, then run to the stairs, up the stairs, and back to the beginning. 10 more sumo squats and 10 lunges, run up and down the stairs again. Sumo squats, lunges, monkey humpers, dirkings, freak nasties, stone mountains, burpees, big boy sit ups, crunches, American Hammers, Penguins, and flutter kicks. Great mumble chatter and some grumble grumble. COT with Russo praying us out for safe travels for DrillBit and all those traveling for the Holidays. Thanks for letting me lead/reading this backblast if it posts….SYITGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq8dCkkhYsk

  • I’ve got the keys to the bus, and who knows if this backblast will post! – from Jose10k

    A good A1C warm-up inspired by Einstein and BBQ. Everyone was ready to go after that.
    We did 10 merkins and 15 squats at each stop sign. We just changed how we moseyed from stop sign to stop sign. Side shuffled, Lt. Dan, simple jog all the way to the lake front. Got to Rips where we did 3 calf raises on each step up and down. Same on the way back to the basketball court. COT and prayers for all those traveling for thanksgiving

  • Down goes Gisella – from Jose10k

    If you know, then you know. If you don’t, then ask Frank. Chilly morning where I was running fast, just not as fast as everyone else. Still no Mandevillians….Where, oh where, is Bushwacker? Brownie hunting….

  • Can a backblast be posted? – from Jose10k

    We ran, Gisella went down, no Mandevillians

  • Down goes Gisella – from Jose10k

    If you know, you know. If you don’t, ask Frank. 4.5 miles this morning in beautiful crisp Covington. Again, where’s Speedy or Bushwacker?!?!?!?

  • It’s Raining (High Impact) Men – from Steve

    Many a Northshore pax can tell you how often we’ve had a forecast of rain only to post and be pleasantly surprised at how narrowly we avoided it. I can’t tell you how many near misses I’ve had over the years.

    But Tuesday was not one of those days.

    Jose took off for his usual pre-thang in a mild drizzle only to arrive back at 0515 to a full on downpour. YHC was surprised anyone showed up at all. But really, I shouldn’t have been – this guy has somewhere around 120 posts under his belt this year, and that’s only the confirmed posts. He’s probably got another 20-30 unrecorded because as he reminds us constantly, yes, us Mandevillians don’t write backblasts.

    Well not today, good sir!

    Usual warmorama and then into a pyramid style beatdown, where we’d start at one side of the corridor with a set of 10 exercises, increasing as we went until we hit the stage (which was always a peoples chair with 40 air presses), and then we’d then decrease on the other side of the trailhead back down to 10.

    Exercises were:

    10 burpees
    20 merkins
    30 squats
    40 air presses
    30 squats
    20 merkins
    10 burpees

    10 big boys
    20 merkins
    30 leg raises
    40 air presses
    30 leg raises
    20 merkins
    10 big boys

    10 SMK (2:1)
    20 m humpers
    30 lunges
    40 air presses
    30 lunges
    20 m humpers
    10 SMK (2:1)

    10 Carolina dry docks
    20 Mike Tyson’s
    30 dying cockroaches
    40 air presses
    30 dying cockroaches
    20 Mike Tyson’s
    10 Carolina dry docks

    At some point Jose had to leave, but he had done his job. YHC would’ve easily returned to the fartsack had no one posted, but now, wet and sweating, there wasn’t much of a choice. Just finish the damn thing.

    Thank you Jose for the accountability and continued commitment – appreciate you brother!

  • Ruck was the right call!! – from Shooter

    The Gloom was crisp and cool, so 7 HIMs decided to take the pill to get after it.

    Warmup was a mix of 10 & 15 IC of Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, Grass grabbers, seal claps, seal jacks, toe touches, butt kicks and slow squats..

    YHC decided to join Ringo as he was the only Rucker around.. Wise choice by the Q for two reasons. One was the soreness lingering from the previous beatdown at the Gipper with Dinghy but the second was the best as it allowed me to catch up in chatter on how things have been with Ringo..

    Sent the gazelles out on the traditional route with two loops and this included the savage Jose10k. I heard in closing he has joined forces with Steve for the Turkey trot and will be present Turkey morning at the Scramble as well.. What discipline and dedication is all I can say..

    All arrived back at the same time 0555 where we dropped to our 6 and completed E to Ks, flutters and penguins ending with a PAX choice ring around the circle of shoulder taps, plank jacks, Peter Parker’s, merkins, groiners and donkey kicks..

    Closed with the FINAL Turkey announcement for the Scramble, COT.

    Until the next Gloom!!!
