Double Trouble With Drop Thrill at Snake Pit

3D gave me the reigns this morning and I obliged with another lead at Snake Pit, the closest AO to my house, so I’m a regular.
After a little warm up, we launched into what I call Double Trouble.  Each exercise you do 15 of, and then Round 2 20 of.  Simple but effective, I think anyway.
Double Trouble

Kb swings

Turkish getup (only Round 1)
goblet squats
Flutters
Curls
merkins

tricep extensions

Squat

Sumo squat

LBC
skull crusher
Rosa lita
Dead lift
calf raises
Lawnmower
American hammer
One arm dead lifts
Dips
The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.
  • 1 Are free of charge
  • 2 Are open to all men
  • 3 Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
  • 4 Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
  • 5 End with a Circle of Trust

The F3 Credo is: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.

Thanks 3D for the chance to lead again.  Thanks Pax for the mumblechatter.

Crush it and Pump it!

FYI- my first backblast of the year…

New guy came with Hardwood to Bushwood so gave an extra complete disclaimer.

Bushwood guys took off and Snake Pit guys stayed with me. Warmed up with SSH, merkins, Hillbilly walkers.

Picked up a full (water) keg with Zimmern and moved out to the entrance road.

The Thang:

1 of the PAX rolls the keg uphill on the road while YHC leads the PAX in a KB exercise. When the keg gets back, the next PAX in the circle rolls the keg and everyone starts a new exercise. Pretty straight-forward.

All IC:

Tricep extension
Around the world
Bent row
KB windmills
KB flys
KB walkers
Upper chest press
KB 180 crunch
Bell crushers
Crunch pass through
Squat
Plank row
Elf on the shelf
High kick side lunge
Pull-over
Lunge & twist
Single leg deadlift with a press
Halo
Plank pull through
Good mornings
Concentration curl
American hammer
Alternating snatch
Upright row
KB swings

There was plenty of heckling of my choices of exercises, like how many hours of youtube videos did I have to review to get all of these. Gotta say the 180 crunch is no joke. Also kegs go downhill a lot faster than up.

Thanks for the opportunity to practice my cadence and lead this terrific group of guys.

Geronimo!

Shakin it up at Footloose

I had to follow Rebel’s lead from Block Party this week to keep it interesting.  The 11 PAX definitely accelerated today.  A quick disclaimer and a little mosey down to the COG lot.  There was lots of mumble chatter during the warm-up by Twister & Destiny.  I guess they had a lot to catch up on.

We did some stretching to kick things off.  Then a few exercises to get the blood flowing: SSH, imperial walkers, windmills, Mtn. Climbers and a few burpees to try to quiet things down.  That didn’t work.

The bulk of the workout entailed 3 minute intervals with 4 exercises and a run up the stairs in between intervals.  First interval was merkins-10, mtn. climbers – 16, shoulder taps -20.  Then finish with a burpee stack (ask Rebel).  Continue round for 3 min.  Second round was abs: big boy situps – 10, american hammers – 16, flutters – 20. Third round was legs: squats – 10, monkey humpers – 15, and calve raises – 20.  We were able to get 6 rounds in total.  Nice work by all pushing forward.

Thanks for the opportunity Boss Hogg.

Football not Footloose

Its September!! Are you ready for some football? Well, Boss Hog apparently isn’t since he tweeted out YHC was bringing a truck load of pain via from some crappy college program, that team from the south (fans of that team from up north will get that joke). Of course Boss Hog was just trying to poke the bear. Of course it worked seeing that I am not a fan of either of those programs (WE ARE PENN STATE), the weinke was developed to be not-a-moderate and emulate a typical football conditioning workout – kuddos go to watching my son and the PKMS football team practice this week.

The tweet definitely brought out some #HIM and a PAX posting for his second time (Ranger)!

Mossy to church parking lot for COP: windmills, low slow squat, Moroccan nightclubs, IW…while we were in COP we noticed the Minnow Pond PAX heading down the hill so we decided to give them a warm welcome by lining up and performing Monkey Humpers as they passed by.

Mossy to other church parking lot for and individual OYO pain station:

100 Merkins

50 Squats

100 LBCs

50 Side Lunges

100 CDD

50 Big Boys

100 American Hammers

50 Mountain Climbers

As PAX were completing this, they took a lap around the church.

Once done, mossy back to other church parking lot for 2 rounds of:

Suicides (whats a football conditioning workout W/O them) – those who had injuries planked as PAX did suicides. Up/Downs – running in place then doing burpees as called out.

Toy soldiers to Withers Street.

3 rounds of:

Run to top of hill, 10 merkins, run back, 10 LBCs. Those with injuries did 10 burpees, 15 merkins, 20 LBCs.

Mossy back to COT

Thanks for PAX pushing through a muggy warm morning. Good mumble chatter as always.

Prayers to Teachers, Students, Parents, Cash, other PAX family/friends who are sick.
