Wheel of Gloom!!!

It was a little rainy but a lot windy for the Stockade debut of the Wheel of Gloom.

For those unfamiliar the wheel of gloom is each Pax taking turns spinning the Wheel. Each spot on the wheel denotes a workout with reps. Each rep is one point for the spinner… but all Pax do the exercises.

Exercises included burpees, Merkins, jump squats, LBCs, Freddy Mercury’s, Big Boys, among others.

The lighting round was a wheel of fortune type routine with correct letters earning points and wrong guesses resulting in LBCS.

Masterpiece solved the puzzle and racked up some big points.

Final round was a 1:00 minute Diamond Merkin Off between Masterpiece and Grassy Knoll.

Grassy won the final round and was given the chance to take a 4-pack of delicious White Claw OR choose what was in the box. Thankfully he chose the box and got a nice variety pack courtesy of Slapshots beer fridge. Masterpiece ended up with the Whiteclaw.

The point today was a decent workout with great fellowship. Thankful for those who showed. It was a fun time!

Until next time!

Miles and Smiles at The Stockade

Warm and wet at the Stockade this morning. Once Tsunami and Grinder showed I decided to call and audible and not do the EMOM madness I had planned.

Instead I indulged myself and the fellow PAX with “The Slapshot “ route. Running from the Stockade we went down 160, made the right on Stonecrest, down/up Hubert Graham and then right onto Gold Hill rd. We made a few detours that added some mileage.

As for the cadence we ran for 45 seconds then took a 25 second break for merkins/cool down. After hitting the century mark in merkins we switched to squats.

The chatter and encouragement during this workout was awesome! Grinder provided me a simple solution to a problem that has been bothering me and tsunami pushed himself hard!

It’s something I’ve learned in the almost 4 years in that Some of the best F3 workouts I’ve been a part of is when less than 5 ppl have posted. Extremely thankful for the men who ran with me today… and all the guys who post with me in the past and future!

Until next time!

A gear WO broke out @ The Stockade

WARMUP: Arrived early and set-up the Harris Teeter parking lot as a battleground to deliver pain. Gave the disclaimer and we moseyed from COT to the battleground where I had 5 stations set-up. We moseyed to 4of the stations and completed SSH/IC/x20 and then made sure the PAX understood each exercise to be performed at that station. Last mosey was to the 5th station, where exercises were explained, enough talk, time to get to work!
THE THANG: Broke the PAX into 4 groups. Groups were dispersed to each of the 4 perimeter stations. At each of the 4 perimeter stations there were 4 exercises. Each PAX had to complete the reps for all 4 exercises before their group could mosey to the 5th station located somewhat in the middle of the 4 perimeter stations. The 5th station was a list of ab exercises. Here’s the flow: Group 1 performs the workout at Station #1, once completed the group goes to the middle Ab Station and completes the reps for the 1st exercise listed. Once the group finishes the ab exercise they travel to Station #2. Once the exercises are completed by all PAX at Station #2 the group travels back to the middle Ab Station and completes the reps for the 2nd exercise listed. So forth and so on, you get the idea.
All perimeter stations were set-up utilizing the grocery cart storage areas in the parking lot.

Station #1
10 – Pullups ( use grocery cart storage equipment, there is a place to modify to inverted rows as well )
20 – Overhead Presses w/ Cindy
20 – KB swings with 45lb. KB
30 – Unilateral Waves w/ Heavy Rope ( just count how many times you throw an arm up for reps )

Station #2
10 – Chin-ups
20 – 10ea arm – bent over rows with 45lb DB
20 – Lat Pulls w/Cindy
20 – Curls w/ Cindy

Station #3
10 – Switch Grip Pull-ups
10 – Overhead Sandbag Toss w/ 45lb sandbag
20 – CDDs with feet on the rail of the grocery cart storage equipment
20 – Tricep Extensions w/Cindy

Station #4
10 – Switch Grip Pull-ups
20 – Bent over rows w/Cindy
10 – Slam Ball throws w/ 30lb slam ball
10 – Man Makers w/Cindy

Station #5 ( Abs )
100 – LBCs
90 – Flutters ( single count )
80 – Freddy Mercury’s ( single count )
70 – American Hammers ( single count )
60 – Mountain Climbers ( single count )
50 – Reverse Crunches
40 – Big Boys
30 – Straight Lower Leg Lifts
20 – V-Sits
1 minute Plank
The group who tolerated my presence almost made 2 complete trips around the battleground, so it’s safe to say PAX completed 6-8 perimeter stations and made 5-7 trips to the Ab station. Great work fellas!!!

MARY: No time left for Mary
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2DB10K, D2D, Rooster, upcoming CSAUPs, Bethel Men’s shelter
COT: Prayers were lifted up! God bless!

Lack of Oxygen Edition

WARMUP: The morning started out rough as my cadence count was a bit off for around the 15th SSH. Then again with Windmills and Imperial Walkers. Made it through the Hillbilly Walkers okay though. I must be really out of practice.
THE THANG: We did a modified Dora where one partner started did squats while the other partner ran the parking lot triangle and at the 2nd corner did 20 merkins. We did that x 4 rounds. The next round was calf raises and the running partner did 20 Bobby Hurleys for 2 rounds. Then we went to do 4 corners with 25 burpees (a requirement b/c @slaptshot is the Site Q, then bear crawl the to next corner and did 25 squats, then at the 3rd corner did 25 merkins and ended at the 4th corner with 25 big boys. We did LBC’s until the 6 finished.
MARY: We got into plank and did 20 shoulder taps, held low plank for about 1 minute, rotated to high plank and did left and right arm high for about another minute and then time was called just before we went back down for low plank again.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Packet pickup is tomorrow at the Print Shop for D2D Bar 10k.
COT: Prayers for mental and physical healing of those all around us. Happy 10th Birthday to Eggo tomorrow.
