  • Rolling Dice with Dora!!! – from Shooter

    YHC is not sure what kept so many home today.. Was it the glove recommendation, not sure. Maybe the fact that I have not led a Saturday in some minds EVER, flattering. Or did most just have better things to do than roll Dice with Dora.. Whatever it may have been, 8 still decided to take the red 💊.. Hopefully YHC delivered what was expected but if not just maybe some of you will feel it tomorrow or the next…

    Warmup was brief
    10IC
    Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, Grass grabbers, Good mornings, Cherry Pickers and Mummy kicks..

    Thang
    Split into two groups
    Trigger was the block work

    100 (Squat thrusters/Kettle swings)
    P1 25 reps while P2 rolled the dice..
    For those not familiar Bushwacker made some blocks with stated exercises (Merkins, SSH Burpees, Putins, Jump squats etc.) numbers varied from 5 to 50..
    F/J and at the end Indian run Marigny and back.

    200 (Curls/Tri extension)
    P1 50 reps while P2 rolled the dice..
    F/J and Indian run

    300 (Chest press/Overhead press (time expired)
    P1 75 reps P2 rolled the dice..

    Thankfully the PAX only shared the count in one roll of 50 Burpees..

    Appreciate the post and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • We Were Runninggga or Let Hydrants Be Your Guide – from Bushwacker

    WARMORAMA

    X10, IC: Darn near every warmup exercise in the book!

    THANG

    OYO mosey towards the beach stopping for 10 Burpees at each hydrant. At the splash pad we circled up for “Raider Pride”, the football drill consisting of running in place and dropping and popping up in turn.
    Returning to the flag doing 10 Jump Squats at each hydrant, and circled up for Al Gore/ Jump Squats.
    Headed in the other direction past the Shaft and over the bridge, doing 10 hand release merkins at each hydrant (and maybe 1 or 2 imaginary ones).

  • Nashville Nasty – from Akbar

    17 showed up today to a warm 61 degrees, the first real sweat in the past few months (except for Russo). Tiga showed up from a recent beatdown in Austin where he was named, jumping right into the fold like he’d been here a year. A surprise comeback from Captain Sparkles was a pleasant surprise.

    4 came jogging up from the pre-thang and we were ready to go.

    Warm up:

    SSH, Arm Circles, Self Love, Imperial Walkers, Grass Grabbers, High Knees

    Grab blocks from the truck and rifle carry to the fire hydrant for 8 ct Rocky Balboas x10 IC, and jawbreakers (alternating Merkins on the block) x 10 OYO.

    Run stairs at Rips, 10 calf raises at the top, return to the blocks.

    Raffle Carry to Noah’s Ark for the Nashville Nasty

    YHC was on a business trip and decided to attend a beatdown in 20° weather with snow on the ground in Nashville. It was cold, but warmed up quickly due to the ascending reps beatdown. It was love at first sight.

    The Nashville Nasty

    6 exercises, 10 reps each, run Noah’s Ark = 1 round. Increase 1 rep each round.

    Lots of Mumblechatter which lessened the pain.

    Grundy was out of the gate first as usual, and we all endured the pain for around 30 minutes. YHC’s unofficial count for most was up to 7-8 rounds, equaling over 500 reps.

    Head back to the flag with a Rifle carry to the fire hydrant, for 2 exercises x10 IC. Maybe Mountain Climbers and Rosalitas, but not quite sure.

    Put up blocks and circle up for Mary x10 IC

    Hello Dolly, Rosalita, Dying Cockroaches, Penguins, Heals to Heaven, Nolan Ryan’s, Jane Fonda’s, 8 count Merkin mountain climbers.

    Count, Name, and Waterpik prayed us out.

    Coffeeteria at Book and the Bean was well attended, with Steve joining us after his run. Grundy brought cookies for all.

  • Well that changed quickly! – from Shooter

    YHC rolled up to 2 PAX in Hammer and Waterpik at the Scramble expecting to have a light showing. Out of the darkness Jose10k and Steve appear and the the headlights just kept coming in. Before long the PAX quickly swelled to 10 and so we did a simple warmup of Imperial walkers, SSH, Grass grabbers, Good mornings and Seal jacks..
    Route was down toward Monroe and zig zagged our way through the streets while 4 PAX Rucked out for 20 and back.

    Appreciate the great showing the last two weeks gentleman. Let’s keep it up..

    Keep checkin Slack as Hogsbreath will posting a date at the 007 for his 40 year birthday beatdown to come…

    Until the next gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • Burpees, Football, Running, Oh My! – from Bushwacker

    Cold as ballz? Tell that to F3 Fargo. Small crowd? Not likely. F3 Northshore showed up to play. Today we dedicated the beat down to our own Maximus the Marathon Man, Tanked Up, who is running the La Marathon tomorrow aiming to qualify for Boston.

    WARMORAMA

    5burpees OYO
    SSH
    HI KNEES
    BUTT KICKS
    IWs
    5 Burpees
    GOOD MORNINGS
    TOE TOUCHES
    TORSO TWISTS
    5 Burpees

    THANG

    Partnered up and each pair grabbed a football. Mosey to gazebo while passing football back and forth. The partner throwing couldn’t move, and for any dropped passes, both do 5 burpees.

    At gazebo,circled up and did 4 rounds of circle Up/Downs.

    Mosey to shaft in similar fashion.

    Lined up along tree line, P1 stayed put while P2 went out for a pass (dropped passes were 5 Burpees each). While P2 ran to shaft and back, P1 did an exercise, then switch. The exercises included SSH, Mnt Climbers, Freddy Mercurys, Hand Release Merkins, J Los, Flutter Kicks, and more! T claps to Waterpick and Baby Yoda, who connected on some long bombs like Drew Brees and Marques Colston!

    Mosied back to flag again in similar fashion, but this time the Pax honed their strategy to pick up the pace with shorter passes. BONUS, no balls in the frigid lake!!!

    MARY

    Made it back to the flag with 3 minutes to hit some core, much to Duke of Hazard’s chagrin.

    5 Burpees
    20 LBCs
    100 100s
    And planked up waiting for the man of the hour to roll in from a light 2 mile run.

    Nightmare Before Christmas’24 Sunday January 21st 1pm lakefront, bring backpack with 10-40lbs of weight

    JV prayed us out, Byrd and Cowbell were Starskys, joining us at coffeeteria.

    Guys (you know who you are) thanks for letting us play with your ballz this morning!
    Hammer went out of his way to prove that a good beatdown isn’t complete unless someone gets hurt. Ice it up big guy. I hope you feel better soon.
    And speaking of Hammer, if anyone is looking for a nice house in a small, conveniently located sub division (with a hot tub😎) give him a shout.

    Gentleman, thanks for coming out and freezing cheeks with the Wack, and celebrating our own Medicare Machine, and best of luck to him tomorrow!

  • Let’s try this again!! Both sidewalks and BB!! – from Shooter

    Well, my first BB was pretty good, then I got to the end to submit and it simply disappeared..
    So, for the condensed version, which will not give the first its due..
    Variation of cadence counts Mummy kicks, SSH, Abe Vogodas, Good mornings, Seal jacks, Toe Touches and Ring of Fire 🔥 Al Gore hold with 2 rounds of each PAX completing 2 jump squats.

    A little over 4 miles and returned right on time..

    Count, announce/intensions, and appreciate the respected Akbar for the close in prayer..

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • December Flickerball on the Northshore – from TruCoat

    The third installment of Flicker ball on the North Shore’s lakefront pitch was a battle to the end. After a short warmup of core exercises and a push-up medley that included gorillas and spidermans, the group divided into two teams of 8 based on age. Once again the Juniors versus the Seniors went back and forth on a long field, showcasing soccer skills tuned over time, and surely depleting Pontchartrain of the local O2 source. The score ping ponged as the Seniors captured an early lead, the Juniors made a mid-game run that the Seniors rallied to close. Zoolander’s fancy footwork drew taunts by the Seniors and Bushwacker’s vigorous defense may have worn down the Seniors. With the game tied, a two-minute warning was announced that shot adrenaline in the likes of Cowbell, Baby Yoda and Bird whose coordinated pressure resulted in successive goals and the first-ever victory by the Juniors. Some 2-point scoring highlights included Barely Legal’s Messi like magical kick, SOGO’s dominating left-footed end-to-end run, and Bird’s curving shot from unfathomable distance. The pitch welcomed back to the area Burgundy from Houston and Popeye from Huntsville, and the group welcomed first-timers and Dukes of Hazzard’s relatives Fieri (8th grade) and Craggle (4th grade).

  • That’s gonna leave a mark!! – from Shooter

    With 5 PAX this gloom YHC decided to take a stroll down East causeway on a tour of our future sidewalk to be. Of course being the critic that I can often be, I expressed my comments about how we spend tax dollars here in Mandeville, as if maybe I know better. Nevertheless, as we continued to mosey turning down Monroe, YHC quickly found the elevated drain, which would quickly humble this critic as I took a plunge on to the pavement… Must admit if any of my F3 brethren ever want to trade professions any one of them would make great first responders as they quickly jumped to action in concern of my fall.. Much appreciated find gentleman!!

    Enough with my mishaps..

    Began with 10&15 IC, Hillbillies, Toe Touches, SSH, Imperial walkers, Torso twists and a wonderful stretch movement shared by Einstein the previous day.

    Our Mosey was down East causeway, up Monroe, back down through old Golden shores around and back to Monroe returning up Messina and around the horn of the park.

    Finished with Mary 15IC and some OYO exercises 💯s, Big Boys, Hello Dollies, Flutter kicks, WW1 sit-ups and some EOKs..

    Appreciate each of you for your concerns of my safety and allowing me to lead!!

    Until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!!

  • The Pacer – from Akbar

    Beautiful, crisp morning at the Scramble, where 4 HIM showed up to get better.

    Warm up: SSH, High Knees, Butt Kicks, Windmills, Scorpion Kicks, Leg Swings.

    YHC forgot the ruck today, so 4 went out on the regular route with an extra loop in Hermitage.

    No ruckers, no Pik, no Hammer, and Zoolander showed up.

    Done with 10 minutes to spare, we headed to the playground equipment for 10 reps each for pull ups, triceps, abs, and Merkins.

  • That’s a whole Tabata bricks – from Russo

    With attendance waning, Granny regular Steve potentially out with flu-like infirmities, and regular Marsh posters completing their early week duties, YHC assumed he might be flying sad clown solo this morning. Admittedly, I thought about turning over and sacking, but I’m glad my feet hit the floor, since a pax of 5 greeted Granny for some brick work.

    Warmup – 10x IC
    – Seal jacks (eventually)
    – Toe touches
    – Imperial walkers
    – Grass grabbers
    – High knees

    – 1 minute each with bricks, 20 seconds rest, with some moseying through the columns after each of the four rounds

    Round 1
    – 8 count body builders
    – Cherry pickers
    – Overhead claps
    – Nutcrackers

    Round 2

    – Air presses
    – Squats
    – Arm circles
    – Milk maids

    Rinse and repeat rounds 1 and 2 for 3 and 4.

    COT, with NOR and prayer before heading back to start a Tuesday.

    Pleasant surprise seeing you all this morning. Mumblechatter was high on the entertainment scale, as movie quotes ruled the day. SYITG.
