MinuteMan’s soggy quads

I’m giving Spud the Q spot here since Minuteman isn’t in Slack, and since Spud and MinuteMan definitely collaborated on this morning’s helping of pain.
WARMUP: Quick indian run around the field followed by something like the “Spinal Fluid mover” which was some nice back stretching
THE THANG: Cones were set up about 10m apart through the middle of the field the long way. We lunge walked to the first cone, did 10 merkinss, 20 LBCs, 30 SSH and ran back to start. Then lunge walk to the second, repeat. All the way to the 9th or so.

Then the “circle of iron” where the guy in the middle did 20 arm curls (each side) with 10’s or 20s while everyone else alternated exercises
Round 1: Plank, dying cockroach
Round 2: Freddy Mercury, CDD
Round 3: Burpees
MARY:

Gam Guillotine Redux Part 6

Pantheon was were it all started for me on 6/26/16. F3 workout #1 was right here at Pantheon, back when it had a much stronger following because there were fewer Wednesday options. The workout I led today was the same workout presented that day, led by Jekyll. It was just as ugly today as it was back then.

Disclaimer was disclaimed, and off we went.

Nice run to Memorial Gardens and Veterans Park to gather around the flag for the Pledge of Allegiance and warmup.

COP:
15-20 of the following
SSH, WM, IW, HW, and MNC

The Thang:

Mosey to the grass field park near Trailhead park, to the trail that leads up to the dreaded power lines and Heart Attack Hill. At the end of the field is a nice little trail hill that leads up to Cascading Pines Dr. At the base of that hill is the north end turnaround. That’s the start point. Then we ran up the hill, crossed the road, and continued up to the top of the hill next to a power line. That is the south end turnaround point. Between the two is what’s known as the camelback. The hills are short, maybe 100-120yds total, but quite steep. There is a little flat area when they cross over the road, but otherwise they’re nonstop.

Part 1: 5 squats on north end, run uphill, 5 jump squat on south end, run downhill back to start. 1 round is down and back up. 5 rounds total.

Afterwards we did 3-4 mins of ablab exercises and discussed how F3 has changed me, and others, for the better in many ways, all 3 Fs.

Part 2: 5 lunges (double count) on north end, run uphill, 5 jump lunges (DC) on south end, run downhill back to start. 1 round is down and back up. 5 rounds total.

Afterwards we did another 3-4 minutes of ablab exercises and discussed the importance of each PAX paying forward what we have been blessed with, including F3.

Altogether that was 10 rounds of that hill, about 1.5 miles. Ugly.

Back to the Memorial Gardens. More exercises and ab lab.

Back for COT, announcements, P&P. Happy Birthday to The United States of America!!

Thank you for the opportunity to lead,
-NASA
