  • The Ruck Suck, No Joy at the Joy – from Bolt

    YHC was thrilled he switched with Frac for today’s Q bc at 5:28 it looked like he would’ve been solo otherwise. True to NOLA roots 2 more PAX rolled in hot before the disclaimer while the fifth/final one, Papa Smurf joined during our first warm up exercise:

    Warmup IC: SSH (25x),arm circles forward/back, tclaps, seal claps, Moroccan night clubs, self love; Abe Vigodas, Toy soldiers, Hillbillies (15x), static hold Jamie stretch (center, R/L leg over leg)

    Mosey over levee with rucks plus Sweetness splayed out across Papa Smurf’s shoulders who would be his partner (sans ruck) for the suck.

    For time (20 min): add 5 reps to each exercise in the next round.
    * 5 x Burpees (Ruck on Back)
    * 5 x Squats (Ruck on Front or Back)
    * 5 x 4-Count Mountain Climbers (Ruck on Back)
    * 5 x Push-Ups (Ruck on Back)
    * 5 x Sit-Ups (Ruck on Front)
    * 5 x Ruck Curls

    Props to Kennah Brah for getting into the round of 30 reps!

    Mosey back over levee to flag for 4 min of Mary 45/15 tabata style)

    Close it out with all the trimmings. (COT)

  • A Few of My Favorite Things – from Fracsac

    Unable to join Hawgcycle for his mid year 10k a day milestone, YHC did the next best thing and took the Q at El Diablo.

    With the shovel flag planted, a disclaimer was given, then start with a lap on the track, which was sort of a tribute to Hawg.

    Warmup

    SSH IC x 31
    Grass Grabbers IC x 12
    Arm circles IC x 15 both directions
    Peter Parkers IC x 20

    YHC had cones set up at the goal line and the 50 yard line.
    Starting at the goal line, burpee broad jump to the 50 yard line.
    Catalina Wine Mixers IC x 10
    Bear crawl back to the goal line.
    

    Next up was an exercise in breaking things down….

    Deconstructed Burpees! Do the following IC:
    Squat IC x 10
    Squat Thrust IC x 10
    Merkin IC x 10
    Squat Thrust IC x 10
    Squat IC x 10
    OH clap IC x 10

    Squat IC x 9
    Squat Thrust IC x 9
    Merkin IC x 9
    Squat Thrust IC x 9
    Squat IC x 9
    OH clap IC x 9

    Continue down to 1 of each! Then put them all together and do 10 Burpees OYO!

    Now that the Pax has been introduced to YHC’s favorite things, time to put them together with 11’s:

    Starting at goal line 1 Catalina Wine Mixer, then run to 50 yard line for 10 burpees.
    Continue until 10 Catalina Wine Mixers and 1 Burpee.

    Return to flag for COT

    – The grass was surprisingly overgrown on the field, perhaps making the mosquitos worse. It just added to the overall suck….
    – Due to time constraints, the bear crawls were omitted from the 11’s. That’s the only thing that would have made it worse. Catalina Wine Mixers and Burpees in 11’s? Who is crazy enough to do that?
    – We lifted the troops in the COT, especially the 156 and 256.
    – We prayed for Landing Strip’s Father as he goes into surgery this morning.

    Thanks for posting with me today.

  • Frac-Cycle – from Mahatma

    The disclaimer……yet stressed if you don’t push yourself beyond your comfort zone you’ll never leave it.

    This is the Frac-Cycle beatdown – most guest it contained burpees and running but what kind of running was not immediately known and how many burpees would surprise us all.

    Added incentive – 4 minute timer so whenever the dawg barks – 4 burpees and continue what you were doing.
    Short mosey to our starting spot – Warm Up
    SSH
    Grass Grabbers
    AbVagoda
    Toy Soldiers
    Smurf’s

    Several rounds of timer: 4 burpees

    Mosey over the levee to get things started:
    1. Baby Hill with 5 rounds of Quadrophilia

    Move back to the levee set the cones – all future effort for time. Pax lined up for 3 rounds each, 1st round set the time to beat after – 10 sec lower than round 1, otherwise more burpees.
    2. Diamond – all running with 3 merkins at the top, run down – 6 rounds – restart as soon as last pax reached the bottom. 30 secs rest between rounds 3&4
    Timmer burpees

    3. L – bear crawl, shuttle to Quadrophilia – 5 merkins at the top, run down – 3 rounds
    4. L – rinse and repeat shuttle to the right 3 rounds
    5. Broad jump midway, finish with Kong to the top – 4 burpees run down 3 rounds
    6. Quadrophilia up midway – shuttle over then bear crawl to the top at an angle 10 gas pumps run down

    Finished with 3 round full levee Quadrophilia sprint to the top.

    Walk over levee – Boo Boo lead mosey back (kenna bra sprinted).

    1 minute plank and merkin finisher.

    COT – a lot to be thankful for.

    Mosey to the goals for….

    Body Builder Basket Ball: Each man takes a free throw. The group does 10 8CBBs after each miss. War Eagle was the only one that made it. We did 20 8CBBs for the misses by Hoke and me. We went double or nothing on the last 4 and ran up a total of 80 8CBBs. Ran out of time so those 80 are for homework.
    Back to the flagless gathering spot

    COT: Announcements: Frac’s five year manniversary is tomorrow at Okwata. Show up for the celebratory burpees and levee work. Q-School with Professor Catfish is this Saturday at City Park. Encourage everyone, especially recent FNGs to come. City Park Clean-up after the workout. Prayers for Ryan and Rob. Gratitude for our health and F3.

    NMM: It seemed especially sticky out there today. Make sure you are hydrating constantly. If you are working out everyday, a gallon of water should probably be your goal. T-claps to War Eagle and Papa for the hard charge on the last two 400s, although there was grumbling that they were sand baggin’ on the first two. Where was Catfish when I needed him? No one was with me on the Bonnie Blairs, apparently not a crowd favorite. Our B-Ball skills need work. 1-7 from the line this morning. T-claps to War Eagle for the make. Found out he was the Middle School MVP in Podunk, AL.
    It was humid today and we are looking at hot, humid workouts for the next 4 months. The heat and humidity in New Orleans is what the F3 Lexicon terms a “condition,” a dis-Advantage that cannot be remedied. We cannot change it; we can only embrace it and deal with it. We do not have mountains here. We do not have thin air. But we do have more heat and humidity than any place in the country.

  • Da Plane! Da Plane! – from Fracsac

    9 Pax made a choice to take the DRP on their journey to get right and posted to the Westward Ho!!
    There was a new theme for the beat down that had all pax rejoicing! Anytime an airplane was heard, all would do 10 burpees. With a shovel flag planted, disclaimer was given, then mosey for:

    Warmup

    Airplane! 10 burpees OYO

    IW x 15

    Mosey to the levee. Start off with Jacob’s Ladder:

    Run up levee, 1 burpee, run back down
    Run up levee, 2 burpees, back down
    Continue up to 7.

    Mosey to a grassy area for a pax choice. YHC asked Bogey to choose between M and J. With M being the choice, it was time for:

    Motivator! Basically a deconstructed SSH from sets of 10 down to 1. #CrowdPleaser

    Next Papa Smurf was asked to choose between J and S. He couldn’t pass up the J, so:

    Jack Webbs

    1 merkin, 2 air presses
    2 Merkins, 4 air presses
    Continue up to 10 Merkins and 20 air presses.

    Plane!! 10 burpees

    Mambi had to choose between T and D. He enthusiastically chose D:

    Plane! Hey that’s the same plane! Overruled! 10 Burpees!

    DirtyMacDeuce
