AI Gone Wild

Leave a comment

The talk of the morning was about the AI videos created by JWOW had gone off the rails. The conversation would take our minds off the wet and rainy weather.
We began with a trip around the park stopping at each swing for an exercise. We detoured twice out in the field to enjoy the moist grass. Next, we made our way to front of Pike Engineering where we did three rounds of dips, derkins, split squats. Short trip to the adjacent parking lot for three rounds of partner exercises, Partner 1 ran while Partner 2 did muscle ups on the brick wall.
Next, we bear crawled to the top parking lot, continue our journey to the parking lot across from the Donut Shop. We did a short version of concaine bear. Ran it backways, replaced merkins with CCDs.
We made our way to Print Shop for 10 good pull-ups. Back to WEP for a round of 7s and a bear crawl around the theater.

Partner Work @ Block Party

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey from COT to the playground, usual of suspects followed for a typical F3 warmup.

THE THANG: Partner was the theme for this workout. Cubbie asks that each Q share the reason why they keep coming out to F3. For me, my fellow PAX are the reasons I keep coming out in the morning. Not only for the opportunity to possibly help my fellow man, but also to receive the help I need in my life. Very grateful for the partners in life I've made in F3.

Partner Work @ the Playground
1 partner bear crawls to the cones set up outside the playground area, once you make it to the cones perform 3 burpees, and then bear crawl back to the playground where the other partner was performing a swing crunch with a merkin. Keep flap-jacking until you reach an accumulative rep count of 100 for the swing crunch+merkins.
To really burn out our chest and arms we went immediately into some time under tension. 1 partner holds extended plank while the other partners performs 10 merkins, keep flap-jacking until you reach an accumulative rep count of 100. Arms and chest smoked.

Partner Work behind the Ampitheater
1 partner NURs up the hill behind the ampitheater and then moseys back to the bottom, partner #2 performs 10 jump squats, 10 jumping lunges, and 10 Apolo Ohnos and then holds Al Gore until partner #1 returns. Flap-jack for 5 rounds. Legs smoked.

Partner Work in the Ampitheater
1 partner holds extended plank while the other partner performs 10 Peter Parkers, flap-jack until you reach an accumulative rep count of 100
Once completed we moved right into the next phase
Get on your 6 and 1 partner holds straight leg 6 inches while the other partner performs 10 straight lower leg lifts, flap-jack until you reach an accumulative rep count of 100.
Once we completed the above moved right into a series of Superman poses until it was time to mosey back to COT.

MARY: No time

COT: STK!

Shared discipline is stronger than self discipline

Leave a comment

“A cord of three strands cannot be broken”
Ecclesiastes 4:12

Discipline is defined as the training of oneself or others to obey rules, maintain order and achieve goals through self control and consistent action, even when unmotivated

YHC has always admired those with discipline in my life. It’s something I am working on and want to improve. But this discipline cannot be done in a vacuum or isolation. Willpower or white knuckling life is challenging for YHC and I required the support, encouragement and candor from others.

This workout was designed around this theme.
