Warmup hanging out with the bot

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

SSH
low slow squat
merkins

mosey down left side of school
changing mode of transport at each light pole
mosey
nur
bear crawl
karaoke
lunge walk

stop at end of blacktop
suicide runs down the length of the driveway area using the 4 lights as the stopping points

3 rounds. 1 minute each. Split into 2 groups
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – Plank
Switch
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – Al Gore
Switch
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – hold a lunge
Switch

activating the lats during a dead hang helps with the movement and also recruits more muscles to punish. We don’t do a lot of grip work, nor pullups due to the nature of the F3 sites, so I think this is important to incorporate OTB or more regularly in workouts.

AMRAP 12 minutes
20 merkins
20 plank jacks
20 bomb jacks
5 burpee pull-ups (PAX can use their momentum from the jump to assist)

THE THANG:

5 pull-ups
Mosey back to COT

MARY: yes

ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of 2nd F

COT: Named our FNG Focker. He is Funhouse’s daughter’s boyfriend so it seemed appropriate. 17 year old who is going to be a senior at Catawba Ridge, and we are glad to have him.

Bushpit & Snakewood Sandbag Surprise

Leave a comment

YHC picked up the Q last minute as a scheduling conflict arose. Always happy to help at the Snake Pit. Promised Turkish Get Ups and Burpee Snatches. Did not disappoint.

We had six in total (plus my #nutsniffer, Zoe), two from Bushwood and 4 from Snake Pit – so we formed together to be Bushpit/Snakewood. Also did not disappoint.

 

4 Rounds

2 Turkish Get Ups

5 Burpee Snatches

Run a Lap (.12 mile)

 

Head down the hill with bells.

 

Three Way Sandbag Surprise

Partner 1: Farmers Carry Heaviest Two KB’s Up and Back (Two Light Poles up)

Partner 2: Sand Bag Clean and Toss Up Hill

Partner 3: OH Press third KB

The above three happened in rotating fashion – when the Farmers Carrier returned they swapped movements, continuously throwing the sandbag up hill and back to COT.

 

4 Minutes of Mary

Flutters x 15

American Hammers x 15

LBCs x 15

Protractor to the end 

 

It was a glorious showing with good mumble chatter and positive conversation. You know, the usual stuff that keeps YHC coming back to F3 consistently.

 

Prayers/Praises

Tootie & 2.0

Cable Guy & Family for their loss

UHAUL’s Nephew on the road to recovery

3D’s positive example smoking ribs with his 2.0

 

Appreciate YHC being allowed to lead again, 3D.

 

Punch List out.

Your Q is Not Complete Until You Write a Backblast

Leave a comment

“Your Q is not complete until you write a backblast.”

Our 1st F Q is cracking down on backblasts… and YHC has put this one off for a week.  One week late is better than never.

 

L Train hit up YHC late Monday night to lead some Broga and Miles at Bushwood. Always happy to oblige some deep muscle therapy.

 

Started the BC off with our usual disclaimer + the five core principles of F3. Then we moseyed away from the music and warmth of UHAUL.

 

Circuit 1: Broga

15 min Yoga Flow after 1 mile warmup

Deep stretch positions including runners pose, lizard pose, modified pigeon, chair (w/prayer twist), etc. The PAX were not pleased to be done.

Finish off with 5 dead hang pull ups.

 

Circuit 2: Deep Burn

Mosey back up the hill and across Whites Rd to Forest Creek Middle bus loop.

Plank in wait for the six.

Low Slow Squats x 20

60 Second Al Gore Hold at end of 20th squat.

20 Squat pulses to finish.

Lunges x 10

60 Second Hold at end of last lunge

10 Lunge Pulses to finish.

Flap Jack to the other side.

Mosey back to COT for a little bit of Mary to finish off.

 

Apparently the boys at Snake Pit likes to listen to “Everybody Hurts” by R.E.M. on repeat. You do you, UHAUL.

 

‘Twas a good time at Bushwood. L Train – thank you for asking YHC to lead.

 

Punch List out.
