  • F3 NOLA 1776 Patriot Games – from Hokie

    July 1776…. There are on average 1776 strides in a mile

    Warm-o-Rama with SSH x 20, Concrete grabbers x 10, Slow Vigodas x 10

    The Thang
    1 mile run, then 100 of each of the following;

    Merkins
    Overhead claps
    LBCs
    Dips
    Moroccan Night Clubs
    Leg Scissors
    Step ups
    Squats
    American Hammers
    Mountain Climbers
    Shoulder Taps
    Plank Jacks
    High Knees
    Lunges
    SSH
    Superman with Lat pull downs
    Big Boi Sit ups

    IF anyone got through that in the 56 minutes

    They would have continued with 100 yard bear crawl & 76 burpees

    We then had great attendance at Coffeeteria including Charmin posting down range from Houston (at workout too!) and Belloq (still on IR)

  • Charmin celebrates 3YO Daughter/Everyone Celebrates Hawg and SOGO’s Baby??? – from Bolt

    Warmorama Rapper’s Delight edition with MNC/dancing by request plus bonus chinooks/reverse chinooks. The Thang: move between benches along running path toward David Dr. workout equipment via Q’s instructions (shuffle both directions, mosey, backward mosey, high knees, skip) stopping for 10 burpees, adjusting to 5 upon Charmin astutely realizing we’d never get to his half of the Q otherwise. Charmin sets the count on 10 BBSU while everyone does AMRAP: pull ups, leg press, incline bench, tricep dips, rows. Cycle through all stations and then complete the path loop, stopping at each light post for either 3 hillbillies or 3 IW OYO moseying between. Along this stretch we encountered what could only be described as the love child of Hawg and SOGO: congrats, it’s a girl, strong/shapely/sans shoes yet sporting a half tank top shrouded by a weighted vest. There then seemed to be a pep in all PAX step along with some mumblechatter but I digress. Upon return to the original workout equipment near the flag we circled up for a Charmin led baby maker to plank combo which began right after Charmin doled out three penalty burpees to Rev due to some underlying battle of faiths (did I mention its Charmin’s daughter”s third bday?), although it’s possibly because Rev ran away from us the whole workout—probably the Bolt soundtrack. Flag/COT. Honored to co-Q fine men!

  • NOT hum-drum at the Scrum – from Bolt

    Undeterred by the debacle at El Diablo and Rudy’s relentless whining and razzing me, YHC committed to reset and revisit the focus on the upper chest: place your left index finger underneath the right side collar bone and thumb vertically in the middle of the sternum, raise right hand overhead and note the upper chest movement: that’s where the focus is.

    Warmarama: Rapper’s Delight edition
    Including MNCs and a few burpees for Frac

    The Thang: pair up, 3 stations: box jumps and step ups AMRAP with 10 dips being the timer.

    5 upper chest exercises, 1 minute work/30 sec rest with a 10 rep target focusing on the area beneath collar bone/along sternum, while other two pair do legs/abs AMRAP
    Rd. 1 Archer (thumbs at lower chest): Squats/LBCs
    Rd. 2 Explosive: side lunge/BBS
    Rd. 3 Diamond Inc. (touch pinkies at top): reverse lunge/penguins
    Rd. 4 Pseudo Pike (hands at waist high): Bonnie Blairs/American hammers
    Rd. 5 Plunge (wide grip): Rocky Balboas/crunchy frogs

    Final refinement will include giving each chest move an F3-style name (one is definitely Rudy Booty) and limiting each beatdown to only one of the moves so it isn’t a total smoke fest. Feel free to watch the video and submit naming suggestions via mumblechatter. Grateful for all of u!

  • Sorry I missed Groovin’ with Tool- MOPS is 10!!!! – from Hokie

    I was heard saying @ Sphinxster’s Crawfish boil, I was going to my 1st Swolefest to Groove with Tool this morning.

    Thank you MacGyver for texting me last night reminding me I was actually the Q at The Scrum, so duty calls…

    We 5 Pax met and reviewed our mission statement… 10 Burpee penalty for a miss and a 5 burpee penalty for a near miss… 15 burpees later

    To plant, grow and serve

    small workout groups for men

    for the invigoration of male community leadership..

    After warm ups we did an exercise AMRAP for a period of time then ran backwards about 30 yards and then ran back to our starting point

    Round 1 MORE BURPEES for our N’antan
    Round 2 Merkins
    Round 3 MORE BURPEES, then Merkins, then low slow squats

    Rounds 4–11 MORE BURPEES plus just one exercise.

    To close out we did MORE BURPEES plus a minute of Nolan Ryan’s and MORE BURPEES

    200 Burpees for our N’antan

    Thank you RevSox for sharing Mops’ 10th birthday with us!!!

    Continued prayers for Heath and his upcoming trial (no date set) and now for Kenner Brah and his aches & pains

  • Football is Life – from Fracsac

    5 pax, including 1 FNG, arrived at the Scrum looking to try out for the USF3L. One could smell the scent of competition hanging heavy in the air, sort of like rotting crawfish shells.
    With the Shovel flag planted, a disclaimer was given, then a short mosey to a nice grassy area near the outdoor gym.

    Warmup consisted of the usual stuff, skipping the unnecessary stuff. But we did do MNC and dancing was encouraged!

    Mosey to the open field:

    Most of the world calls it football, but it’s soccer. We did a few different styles of offense vs defense and it was both fun and beneficial. We also knocked out 80 burpees. YHC was likely the worst player on the field.

    Return to the warmup spot for a minute of stretching followed by a mosey to the flag for the COT.

    Hawgcycle, Kennah Brah, YHC, Heisenberg and FNG Cyber Cajun all made the team! It was adult recess!!

    SYITG.

  • Someone has been reading the Exicon – from Hokie

    YHC showed up to The Scrum to a lone vehicle in the lot at 0620. Knowing the vehicle belonged to PVC, I texted the Q to ask if he was in route.

    Minutes later, another vehicle showed up to a greeting from PVC saying, “Aren’t you the Q at Rock City?”

    At that point, the 3rd vehicle left and I agreed to Q.

    At 0627 Rev arrived and I verified it was ok if I took the Q.

    At 0630 the disclaimer was given and we moved to the newly finished “gym” area to go through a Tabata with Apollo Creed Burpees, Bohemian Rhapsody, Speed Humpers, Bolt 45’s, Bear Holds, Angle Grinders, etc

    At one point Rev questioned something to the effect, “so did you get bored and explore the Exicon?”

    As we got ready to wrap up there was chatter I may finish sh 30 seconds early and Rev was overheard dictating his complaint to be filed with the Nan’ taan for being cheated out of his 30 seconds and requesting both a refund and a penalty of 1 burpee per second to be imposed upon the Q, but as fate would be generous, Revs watch read 0615 as we wrapped up.

    Thank you for the fun this AM

  • Fog of the Scrum – from Mambi

    Got a text from Kenna Brah asking if the YHC had the Q. He asked knowing YHC has been absent in the gloom for many weeks. With a quick one-word response YHC responded, YES! On the ride to the Scrum, the fog was thick with very little visibility. YHC’s next text was “going to be late.” YHC arrived at 5:30, gave the disclaimer, then moseyed to the main field.
    YHC lead PAX in various warmups. Then instructed the PAX on the THANG.
    The Sheldon Cooper
    With the fog as thick as it was, YHC had to adjust the run.
    10 burpees, 10 Squats, 10 Merkins, 10 Squats. Run to the fence about 120 yards and back. Then 9, 9, 9, 9 of same. Count down to 1.
    As the “6” (which was YHC) was completing the final rounds the rest of the PAX was doing random Mary.
    Once YHC completed his last round PAX Circled up for RING OF FIRE.
    3 rounds – Hold the Al Gore with 10 Squats
    3 rounds – Hold a plank with 10 Merkins
    Moseyed back to the Flag
    COT:
    Count off
    Name-o-Rama
    Announcements
    Intentions
    Prayer
    Thank you all for supporting me back to the gloom.

  • From No Q to Q School – from Hokie

    YHC saw the schedule with “Q needed”

    So while in route to see if PVC was posting solo while Frac was out of town, I thought about Q School.

    Upon arrival I was greeted by PVC who was all alone.

    So we started with a disclaimer and Q school as me moseyed toward the path around the stadium with periodic stops and showing PVC various styles of workouts using SmartWOD… EMOM, AMRAP & Tabata

    We also discussed cadence vs OYO.

    As we wrapped up our 45 minutes we found Kenner Brah
