It was the Damn Sasquatch

Leave a comment

WARMUP: carry something heavy (sandbags, slamball, rucks) with dynamic warmup (i.e. toy soldier, side steps, back steps)
THE THANG: 4 stations behind earth fare with 5th pax running ~100yds total to stop sign and back as the timer.
Station 1: Sandbag back squats
Station 2: over the shoulder sandbag toss (alternate sides)
Station 3: Slamball (20lb) thruster and throw
Station 4: plastic crate bear crawls/runs
Once everyone finished each station including run, ruck to the office for weighted pull-ups, modify as needed, then back to stations to repeat aforementioned THANG.
Last thang to travel back towards COT was sandbag and slamball Indian ruck- pax in front launches slamball forwards, pax in back has sandbag and drops it on ground once pax in front retreats to the back to pick it off the ground, the next pax in line gets slam ball and repeats- did this from behind earth fare to COT
MARY: circle up in plank position, pax roll 20lb slamball to a non-adjacent pax- rucks were on because that’s the manly thing to do. THIS TORE UP THE CORE! I forgot what we decided to call this… “plank potato?”
ANNOUNCEMENTS: some relay coming up soon
COT: Thanks to Olaf for the Q and for retrieving the great I left behind.
Saw Tsunami out for the first time in over a year, getting after it at STL!
Lifting up all thoughts and prayers to our wonderful and gracious Heavenly Father!

found a chainsaw in the woods

Leave a comment

WARMUP: rucked to the woods
THE THANG: Found the perfect log to make a bridge across the creek. Luckily there was a chainsaw and tape measure in the woods to cut the wood to the correct length. Unfortunately there were not enough studs to transport the 12 foot log so that’s saved for another day. Ruck back through the bossman trail to the pull up station. Pull ups and squats.

Miles and Smiles at The Stockade

Leave a comment

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!

Geezer Butler

Leave a comment

Big crowd this morning at Block Party. 24 men started their day off right, some ran, some rucked, and some stuck around and the rest followed the old geezer.
First stop, the bank on the corner, actually it is a pharmacy now. Circled up for exercises in cadence (SSHs, MNCs, IWs, WMs). Next, we selected a partner. Bear crawl to the middle of the parking lot, 10 partner merkins, bear crawl back to the curb, rinse and repeat 3 times.
Next, we ran down to the town hall offices, 3 rounds of Mike Tysons (set of 10). Back on the road, up to the top of the hill on Williamson St. 3 rounds of Partner pushes between the light poles. I was corrected, one of the poles was actually a flag pole (old man eyes). Next, hold plank, down to elbow, six inches. Back down the hill, return to the top of the parking lot. Brisk mosey to the parking lot across from COT with the brick wall. Dora 1-2-3, 200 Carolina Dry Docks, 300 Squats, 400 LBCs. Partner 1 performed the exercises while Partner 2 ran to the wall and did 3 muscle-ups.
Back to COT
