Blast from the Past

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We welcomed two pax from years past and far off locales, Chino Grande and Uncle Sam! Then we got after it.
THE THANG: Based on a late night call from the bullpen by Cake Boss, the plan all along was to include the pax. We did some warmup moseying, then found our way to the far West side of the school and proceeded to follow a pearls-on-a-string path driven by each pax in Fartlek style. Each pax picked a destination, a form of transit and an exercise for the group once we reached the destination. Then he passed the baton to another pax. In each case, the pax shared how long he’s been posting and a bit about what brought him out to F3 and kept him posting. All learned, and all sweated. A good morning with welcome friends! Thanks for the Q stick CB!
COT: Yes! it’s one of the 5 core principles!

Pre-Convergence Convergence

Leave a comment

There were Ruckers and runners.

Barry Manilow led the runners for 5+ miles around The Fort.

The bootcampers were led first by Maximus with a SSH x Merkin combo x2 to warm up.
After a quick warm up, the weinke was
10 merkins, 10 mountain climbers (double count) at each of the 9 swings around the park. When done and waiting on the 6 to fill in, hold an Al Gore. To wrap up, starting at the bottom of the grassy hill from the parking lot, flutter kicks, then burpees at the top of the hill.

Cake Boss took second shift with playtime at the playground.
Partnering up, one partner does squats, while the other runs around the playground. Then flapjack. Next was pull ups/merkins following the same format. To wrap up, keeping the same partner, one bear crawled across the field and run back, while the other did flutters. Flap jack until 3 rounds were done.

Fogerty took us home with some 11’s and hill repeats.
At the bottom of the hill with the statue, started with 10 merkins and bombjacks. Half way up the hill, 5 burpees, then 1 squat and big boy sit-up. No burpee on the way back down the hill. Repeat until 11’s are done cutting out the burpees when you hit 5 & 6.

This was a fun 60 min bootcamp.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Clave Boss & convergence in 12/23. Happy Birthday Walker. Tallawah is officially closed for good.

Tentatively titled “The Watchmen”.

Partner up for 4 x 4-minute AMRAPs
Burpees: Partners alternate reps
Bear crawl: 1 partner forward, 1 backward (swap at fatigue)
Reverse Burpess: Partners alternate reps
Run: 1 partner forward, 1 backward (swap at fatigue)

Repeat entire circuit.

Moral of the workout? Make sure someone has eyes out when you are in a vulnerable position.

WARMUP: Moseyed out of the parking lot, up the hill, and to the back parking lots across the street. All in cadence, WMx7, 1 Burpee, CPx7, 2 Burpees, HWx7, 3 Burpees, MCx7, 4 Burpees, SSHx10, 5 Burpees
THE THANG: Moseyed to the front of the Pike Electric building to use the short brick wall to hang a leg on.
Thang#1 – Complete rep count of the 1st exercise and then move right into the 2nd exercise. 1 minute intervals with 10-15 second break in between each round. Completed 3 rounds
1st exercise: BSSx10 each leg
2nd exercise: Jump Squats

Moseyed to the big grassy hill in front of Pike Electric.

Thang #2 – BearCrawl 20 paces then switch to CrawlBear for 20 paces. Keep switching every 20 paces until you reach the parking lot at the top. CrawlBearing up that steep hill was a crowd pleaser.

Thang #3 – Stay in the parking lot where we finished our BearCrawl/CrawlBear journey. Instructed PAX to move into the straight arm plank position.
Held plank for 20 seconds then instructed PAX to remove right hand from the ground. Held for the Qs 10 count, back to normal plank and performed PeterParkersx10inCadence. Held plank and asked PAX to remove left hand. Held for the Qs 10 count, back to normal plank and performed ParkerPertersx10inCadence. You get the idea as we proceeded to remove left leg followed by MCx10inCadence and then remove right leg followed by PJx10inCadence.

Moseyed to the HOBO’s parking lot.

Thang #4 – Time under Tension. Partner up. Partner #1 performs 10 merkins while Partner #2 holds 6 inches. At the completion of Partner #1s 10 merkins you switch. Keep switching until you reach an accumulative rep count of 100.

Moseyed to The Print shop pullup bar area.

Thang #5 – Partner up, Partner #1 performs 10 pullups ( max ) and then hangs until Partner #2 completes 20 Step-Ups on the picnic tables. Go back and forth until the team reaches an accumulative rep count of 200 step-ups. Lots of complaining at this point.

Moseyed to the Freedom Park parking lot

Thang #6 – Time under Tension routine again. This time Partner #1 performs 10 straight lower leg lifts while Partner #2 holds 6 inches. Repeat back and forth until an accumulative rep count of 100 is completed.

Moseyed to the small asphalt area in front of Pike Electric building.

Thang #7 – Partner up again. Complete 5 minutes of burpees. Partner #1 completes 1 burpee while partner #2 watches. Then partner #2 completes 1 burpee while partner #1 watches. Go back and forth for 5 minutes. Stole this one from Tesh during his Watchmen themed workout at The Ranch.

Moseyed to the back parking lot where we conducted our warm-ups.

Thang #8 – Time under Tension routine, again. Partner #1 performs 10 jump squats while partner #2 holds the AlGore. Go back and forth until you complete an accumulative rep count of 100.

Moseyed back to COT area

Thang #9 – Instructed PAX to lay down for some Superman poses. Conducted 2 – 10 count sets of each pose. Arms straight and forward and legs together, next pose was arms in field goal position with legs slightly spread apart, next pose was arms in airplane position with legs moved wider apart, next pose was arms in jumper position with legs spread wide apart.
