    610 Stomp #143

    T-Claps to YHC for completing the CrawfishMan Triathlon.  Can you give t-claps to yourself?  HECK YES!  However, YHC’s run time left a little to be desired.  Why is that?  The rolling hills of Bush, LA presented quite a challenge.  There was a need to do some hill work at the 610 Stomp.  While we’re at it, let’s get back to the 6-10 meaning of the 610 Stomp.

    The Thang

    • West to Marconi, North to Zachary Taylor, East to Golf Dr, South to the Jogging Track, East to Wisner, North to Zachary Taylor, U Turn back to pass Pan-Am to Golf Dr, South to baseball/palm dr, around the Practise Track to the Flag.  This forms a 3.3mish Figure 8 with 4 “hills”.
    • Stop running every 6 minutes for 10 burpees

    After participating in the Tchoupitoulas Bar-A-Thon the night before with approximately a dozen other F3 Beer Champions, YHC did not want to get up and post, much less Q, at the Mothership.  However, the being held accountable part of the F3 creed sat front and center of my brain, right next to the hangover part.  YHC could not let my F3 brothers down.

    YHC was eager to see how many other Bar-A-Thon patrons would post, but that thought quickly went away upon seeing Cruiser in attendance from Houston, aka New Orleans West according to Hawg.

    With 4 shovel flags planted, YHC quietly set out some cones in the parking lot and returned to the group of 20 other men that had assembled.  The clock struck 0630, time for a disclaimer, which YHC did give contrary to what Triple Shift says……and mosey toward the Peristyle.  Some of the sprinklers were jetting out water on the already rain soaked Great lawn, so YHC was attempting to avoid it, but Rudy talked the Q into testing it.  So, circle up on the Great Lawn, but we wouldn’t be here long…..

    Warmup
    SSH IC x 31
    Hillbilly’s IC x 20
    Abe Vigodas IC x 10
    Peter Parker IC x 20
    Mountain Climber IC x 20
    Parker Peter IC x 20

    Mosey to the strategically placed cones in the parking lot. Set up to mirror a basketball court, it was time for some suicides. Start at baseline, sprint to first line, sprint back and do exercise. Sprint to Half Court, sprint back and do exercise. Sprint to third line, sprint back and do exercise. Sprint full court, sprint back and do exercise. That’s one evolution.
    First Evolution – 5 Burpees OYO upon returning to baseline each time.
    Second Evolution – 5 Eight Count Body Builders IC upon returning to baseline each time.
    Third Evolution – 5 Copperhead Squats IC upon returning to baseline each time.
    Fourth Evolution – No exercises, just sprint to each line and back retrieving the cones.

    Mosey to trees near NOMA
    Line up at the first tree, and bear crawl to third tree. Lunges IC x 10
    Bear crawl from third tree to fifth tree. At this point, Rudy indicated a large pool of standing water near tree six that the Pax should engage. Looking back, YHC may have lost a great opportunity. Maybe next time…..
    Circle Up for Jack Webb
    1 merkin, 2 air presses
    2 merkin, 4 air presses
    You get the idea
    10 merkins, 20 air presses
    Kong walk from fifth tree back to third tree, Squats IC x 10
    Duck walk from third tree back to first tree, Monkey Humpers IC x 20

    Mosey to the fountain by NOMA. The regular Cross Fitters were on the steps doing Burpees, which the Pax began to critique. YHC decided to stay off the steps this day, we don’t need a West Side Story BB……
    RL Step Ups IC x 20
    Freak nasties IC x 20
    LL Step Ups IC x 20

    Mosey to the narrow strip of grass in front of NOMA and elbow plank up in two columns.
    Pax Bridge Jumps. Last man jumps over each Pax and assumes plank position in the front. Each Pax does 3. Although there were two teams, there was no competition here, YHC just wanted to equally spread the suck around. Speaking of Suck…
    Mosey back near the standing water that continued to call to Rudy for “The Suck”

    Three minutes of the following exercise over and over again
    7 SSH
    7 Merkins
    7 Squat Jumps
    The Pax said something about it being 6, but YHC stood his ground. This day would suck that much more…..
    YHC lost count, so not sure how many rounds were completed.

    Mosey back to the road in front of NOMA and line up in the two columns again for a two column Indian Run back to the Flags. Upon arriving at the flags with one minute to spare, YHC called a sudden change and directed all back to the Great Lawn for 10 Burpees OYO to seal the deal!

    NMM

    T-Claps to our IT guy for making the F3 website easy to find and the workouts well defined. Our newest FNG found F3 by searching the web and posted at the Mothership! Welcome Catfish! I think it has something to do with the Notre Dame scam, but who knows. Ask Rudy about it.
    It was a pleasure having Cruiser from Houston post. Cruiser is an inspiration to us all, a true HIM! Cruiser, know that you and your family are always in our thoughts and prayers.
    T-Claps to Woz for leading the bible study at 8:15 post coffeeteria.

    YHC intended to create a beatdown to recognize Armed Forces Day.  The 5 of each exercise in the suicides represented the 5 branches of our great military.  Thanks to all who serve and to our veterans.

    Thanks for posting with me today, for holding me accountable, and for making me a better husband, father, and man.

  • 610 Stomp #142

    YHC agrees the hardest part of the 610 Stomp Q is doing the BB. It’s not the actual BB, but rather the time it takes to go back through the previous BB’s to properly identify the number for the running of the Tuesday morning routine, mainly because other Q’s choose not to properly identify said routine. Thanks to Tool, YHC only had to go back as far as Mardi Gras to pick up where the numbering was left off. So blame Tool if the count is off, or you can just blame Rudy.
    It looks like we have a few new regulars at the Stomp these days, T-Claps to Hokie Pokey and Stooge for bringing a fresh look to the Stomp crew. With six men gathered around the three flags (Wow!!), YHC knew it would be a good day. Then, out of the darkness came an FNG that YHC had been EH’ing. Good Day? Nay, it’s going to be an outstanding day. Now if only some of those lights in City Park would turn on….but as Hokie Pokey pointed out, the Sky Q would be turning on the big light soon enough.
    YHC pointed out that a birthday week of Q’s was upon us. Who’s B-Day you ask? YHC and DaParish! We had an unwritten/unspoken agreement that YHC would Q this week, and DaParish would take all to the Baby Cakes game Thursday. Deal! Unfortunately, YHC would be out of town for his own B-Day festivities, hence no Q for this guy at the Foundry.

    0530, disclaimer given, and run. What else did you expect? It’s the 610 Stomp! Sealed the deal with 10 Burpees!

    COT

    Count off, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Intentions, and closed with a prayer. Welcome Cornbread! He’s from a rural community of about 350 people in Nebraska. It certainly seemed fitting.

    Thanks for posting with me today.

  • One more time up the Mountain

    After lots of smiling faces and mumble chatter along the avenue, YHC decided to quickly change the tone for the day. Brief disclaimer (if it hurts, keep doing it) then moseyed across the street.

    What’s more fun than starting your day with bear crawls?

    Bear crawled to 1st tree then crab walk back

    42 SSH then 10 Burpees

    Moseyed towards the mountain for stop at the parking garage fence: 20 calf raises

    Up the mountain: Indian Run two lines

    Top of Mountain: 10 Burpees

    Lined up facing the down ramp: 10 Merkins, 10 RTs, run down the ramp, 10 burpees, run backwards up the ramp – repeat 3 times, last time bear crawl up instead of backwards run

    After watching Brown Bag perform advanced yoga moves, moseyed down the stairs to the benches.

    Dips x20, RLSU x20, Dips x10, LLSU x20, Dips x12 & Decline Parker Peter x20

     

    With about 12 minutes, most of the PAX were ready to pack it for some mary and plankwork next to the nonchalant Jesus statue (looks like he doesn’t care there’s a better university next door).

    Not so fast…we’re back up the mountain for another indian run. Quick mary of RTs & the Real Freddie Mercury (can’t stop me now) then back to the flag.

    Count-0-rama, soft tees & prayer.

    Strong 25 today…thanks for being in that number.

     

  • Dirty McDeuce at the Birdcage

    Nice turnout at the Birdcage where the Pax was treated to a variation on the Dirty McDeuce.  But first, a disclaimer, quick mosey down oak alley, and warump COP:  SSHx25, IW x26, Burpee x10 (OYO).  Then a slow jog back down oak alley, down the jogging track to the row bars, and back to the lamppost nearest to the bandstand (approx. 500-600 m).  That would be our lap for the Dirty McDeuce, which went something like this:

    • Lamppost 1:  Merkins x10, Monkey humpers x20, Mountain climbers x20, bearcrawl to lamppost two, hard run
    • Lamppost 2: Diamond merks x10, squat jumps x30 (2-count cadence), plank jacks x20, backward bearcrawl to lamppost three, hard run
    • Lamppost 3: Wide merks x10, lunges x20, Peter Parkers x20, bearcrawl to lamppost 4, hard run
    • Lamppost 4: Merks x10, burpees x1 (OYO), Parker Peters x20, backward bearcrawl to track, hard run

    We then used the balance of our time for some Mary:

    • LBC x25
    • V-Up x15
    • Russian Twist x20
    • Dying cockroach x20
    • Hello Dolly x20
    • J-Lo x20

    Finally, wrap up with the count, name-o-rama, and prayer.

    Mosey back the Great Lawn, for some Cinco De Mayo inspired Dora.  YHC knew there was no way were were finishing, but that didn’t keep us from trying.  Partner up.  This was the plan:

    A few teams made it through the Body-Builders and into the Jumping Beans.
