THE THANG: Jacob’s Ladder – 9 through 1 – alternating KB snatches OH on one end of ladder, 4-count mountain climbers on other end of ladder; mode of transportation = pass-through forward lunges with KB “up the ladder” and pass-through backward lunges with KB down the ladder.

Birdcage was supposed to be on Q, but recently fell from a ladder taking down Christmas lights, hence the title of the workout. Apparently he’s doing alright, but sending prayers his way nonetheless.

Thanks to Beaker for calling my number on short notice.

Moleskine:
Lots of huffing and puffing in the gloom this morning mostly involving YHC’s choices best described as those done in a prison cell – and one Jane Fonda jazzercise sans knee-high Reebok socks.
A few notables:
Dark Helmet loves burpees – please be sure to include them in any AO’s where he HC’s.
Esso and Maximus set the tone in weight vests, floral and all.
Punch List crushed crushed the AMRAPs like, well, a punch list.
T-claps to Man Down for posting despite his 3am college bedtime.
Peabody and JWow were silent but deadly when chiming in on the prison cell burpees and bear crawls.
Soup to Nuts won best hair for the gloom, despite a contended effort by YHC and Dark Helmet.
Always a pleasure – Solo

It was a privilege to lead the men today on the 1st Golden Corral workout for 2024. Thirty degree, dry air never felt so good! If you don’t post in the winter time, you are really missing out. Slow Jams announced that the shovel flag will be passed next week so be on the lookout for that. GC is my regular stop on Tuesdays and I’ve enjoyed spending time with him. He was a steady, entertaining presence every week, and did a fine job as site Q. Smuggler was also with us today as he continues his comeback. Keep it going brother! Here’s to another year of F3 at The Fort!

BDE at the Stockade

Leave a comment

We had 9 at the Stockade for one of the last days of 2023

Started off with a basic warmup.

Short Mosey around the parking lot back in front of the Dance studio.

15 IC SSH
10 IC Windmills
5 Burpees OYO
15 IC Seal Jacks
10 IC MNC
5 Burpees OYO
15 IC Plank Jacks
Stretch
15 IC Mnt Climbers

First Routine

12 Days of Christmas. This is where the Mumblechatter got dialed up a notch.

Basic 12 days of Christmas set up. Started with day one and got to day 12. Reps of a given exercise matched the day.

Day 1 Burpees
Day 2 Burpees
Day 3 Burpees
Day 4 Burpees
Day 5 ( 5 Count rest)
Day 6 Squats
Day 7 SSH
Day 8 IW
Day 9 Calf Raises
Day 10 LBc’s
Day 11 Flutters
Day 12 BBS

I set this up so after day 5 we ended each “round” with 10 Burpees. Again, this was a crowd pleaser.

We then took a short mosey around the parking lot again for the second routine of the morning.

This format was similar to the Laredo workout but obviously modified.

4 rounds

25 Merkins
25 Squats
25 BBS

Lap that we just did in the parking lot.

It was here I put on some music for the PAX as we did these exercises.

With only 5ish minutes to go I got us back to COT for a 4-minute AMRAP. I would call out an exercise and we would max out reps.
Minute 1- HR Merkins
Minute 2 – Flutters
Minute 3- HR Merkins
Minute 4- Plank.

COT: Show some BDE guys and share whats on your hearts. Be specific. As someone said in COT today you can’t get specific help if you don’t have a specific ask.

AYE!

Always fun to lead.

Thanks to all of you!
