I introduced some of the pax from The Fort to Anchor Bar’s Famous Chicken Wing. The Anchor Bar is a restaurant in Buffalo, NY is famous for the first place to serve chicken wings as we know them today. More on that below. In my 8+ years doing F3 this is my Q outside the Rock Region. It was a great morning meeting new pax.
WARMUP:
The disclaimer was given and we warmed up with:
– 1 dozen Windmills IC
– 1 dozen Imperial Walkers IC
– 1 dozen Hillbilly Walkers IC
– 1 dozen Low Slow Squats IC
THE THANG:
This 4-Corner workout was inspired by the way chicken wings were originally served at The Anchor Bar. Back in the day wings were served by the dozen mild, medium, hot or extra hot. So, each round of 4-corners consisted of a similar exercise at each corner progressively getting a bit more difficult. 1 dozen of each exercise were performed OYO.
– Round 1 – Flying Squirrels, Burpees, Diamond Burpees, Hand Release Burpees
– Round 2 – Rosalitas, Hello Dollies, Freddie Mercuries (Double Count), Flutter Kicks (DC)
– Round 3 – Carolina Drydocks, Merkins, Diamond Merkins, Hand Release Merkins
– Round 4 – Seal Jacks, Side Straddle Hops, Smurf Jacks, Bomb Jacks
– Round 5 – LBC’s, Gas Pumpers, V-Ups, Big Boy Sit-ups
With time remaining, we did my “hot wing eating contest”. In my hometown the was a restaurant the would have a hot wing eating contest where the would give each contestant a pile of their hottest wings (Volcanic). Whoever ate the most in the allotted time was the winner. My F3 version was Balls To The Walls until one pax remained in the position. Your “wings” are sure to burn when you’re down.
MARY:
No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Announced.
COT:
<@UGU3XR5RP> took over from here and led a great discussion on Not Looking Back. It revolved around the passage in the Bible where Lot’s wife looked back and was turned in to a pillar of salt. Once we pick up our cross to follow Jesus, we should not turn back to our wicked ways. Instead, keep our eyes looking forward affixed upon Jesus. It is easier said than done.
I’m not doing the discussion justice, so I urge Band Camp to add more in the comments.
WARMUP: mosey to coupons (rocks) with karaoke, butt kickers, and high knees along the way.
THE THANG: 3x rinse and repeat 8 exercises, all in cadence:
Merkins 15

Each round had a short mosey with side straddle hops or seal jacks before returning to coupons.

1 x 100% jail break up hill to road
Mosey back to COT

COT: Gratitude for our creature comforts (shelter, warmth, food, water) in light of what people without those necessities are facing in this cold weather. Prayers to lean in to God and be light as we go through our lives.
A “blanket” of snow possibly less than .38 inches thick covered some of the ground. There was a smidge of ice. School was cancelled.

COT:
Cold but not too cold at the Ran h.
Started with brief warmup then ran to the school drop off circle.
At the circle we partnered up and played catch me if you can for 4 laps around the circle.
To give the pax a break I talked a bit about what being “good” means. Several years ago I thought I was “good”. Ppl would ask how are you … “I’m good “.
Truth is I wasn’t . I wasn’t healthy , I wasn’t happy and I wasn’t my best self. Thankfully I joined F3 and realized what good actually meant. If I want to run fast… I surround myself with faster ppl.
After that we did a Tabata focusing on legs, shoulders, abs and a Jack series to keep us moving.
Got back in time to COT for som flutters.
Thanks to rainmaker for the opportunity!!!
