Snakes and Arrows

Leave a comment

A group of 7 met at FMHS for the last Laces In workout of August 2022. Here is what they did:

The Thang:

After a brief disclaimer around the shovel flag, we moseyed around the parking lot and ended up in the grassy field by the football stadium for COP

All in Cadence:

SSH x 25, windmill x 15, IW x 25, merkin x 10, LBC x 25, flutter x 25, hello dolly x 25, jumping lunge x 15, squat x 20, Moroccan nightclub x 40 while walking back to parking lot.

Line up at the lot next to a row of empty parking spaces. One by one, shuffle across the parking lot space line, do one burpee at the end of the line, advance to the next line, shuffle across, do one burpee at the end of the line, etc., continue through about 10 spaces. Rinse and repeat with bomb jacks.

Mosey back to the grassy field for modified Jack Webb. In place of merkins/overhead claps, we did V-ups and Freddie Mercuries (1:4 ratio). We did 5, took a short break and completed, 6, 7, an 8 before stopping. Man that was hard! Recover and mosey to the shed across the lot.

Assume People’s chair against the shed. Hold, and one by one, each guy does 3 burpees.

BTTW hold, while one by one down the line, each member of the Pax does a 10 count

Rinse and repeat above.

Line up for an Indian run across the lot to the entrance of parking lot (up/down the hill) and back to the shovel flag.

COT

I have been posting very intermittently lately due to a shoulder injury, and had not Q’d a workout since January of this year. I didn’t feel like I had my ‘A’ game out there today, but I felt I gave the guys their money’s worth. After 10 years, it’s still a blast to get together in the morning, Q a workout, and lead the fine men of F3. I’m looking forward to the next 10 years. Snakes and Arrows is another Rush reference. RIP Neil Peart

Longest 11 ever

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Downdog
THE THANG:
Mosey to the school for a round of 11’s.
Breakdance merkins(double count) on one side.
Crunchy frogs(in cadence) on the other side.
Distance between points was approximately 0.2mi.
No one got through all 11. Maybe it was too far?

Thanks for the opportunity to come run with the high performance HIM’s of the Fort. I’m always impressed by the showing and the effort laid down.

MinuteMan’s soggy quads

Leave a comment

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:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: didn’t really announce much
COT: lot’s of prayers for health. Cancer is a PITA to say the least, a few praises, too
