Omaha, Omaha! These streets have no name.

WARMUP:

Got the WOD inspiration from Florida Georgia line day before while working the BoFlex. Board of Pain w/ acrostic SIMPLE.

Decided rk take 1 of 2 routes, hit WEP, run laps starting from playground OR run to QT and instruct the 12 to use discretion to stop, wait for 6 and execute BOP.

Rolling in and catching an earful of healthy mumblechatter, decided neither. We will run randomly to dimmly lit parking lots and execute BOP.

Ran up to the old Kimbrells for a little warmup.

– Low slow squat with a jump at the end. @darkhelmet informed me that it was called a squat jump

– imperial walkers

– shoulder taps

– stretches

THE THANG:

An arbitrary count if 15 for each exercise.

Board of pain:

S Shoulder taps
I Irkins
M Monkey Humpers
P Plank Jax
L Lunges
E Burpees (burpee has an E in it)

Run to 1887 Brewery, BOP

Run to the government building on the left on way back, BOP.  After much debate, no one knew what building it was and we found ourselves back at Kimbrells.

By then we started to spread out, causing more chaos.

Run down, take left at Amor and hit parking lot on left, BOP.

Per Jihnny Utahs request, hit Litte Caesars, BOP.

Run past COT, on left side of street, hit parking lot with kong brick wall, BOP.

Head back to COT for some Mary.

COT:

Quoting ZBB “ I have everything I need, nothing that I dont” was a pleasant reminder on being content and thankful for your blessings. Happiness is fleeting but joy is eternal.

Rather quiet, everyone’s life must be perfect.

NMS

I explained this was a clear demonstration how not to Q a workout.

You need to be flexible and know your PAX but you must be able to articulate clearly amidst the chaos of the gloom especially with the strong mumbkechatter hell bent on throwing you off and distracting you.

I personally wouldn’t have it any other way and am thankful for the PAX that showed and their relentlessness. Blessed to have this brotherhood in my life and always am appreciative to serve at BP.

Add 4, carry the 2, divide by 1.21 gigawatz

Leave a comment

WARMUP: quick mosey, low slow squats, cherry pickers, merkins (stayed here for a minute), mountain climbers, plank jack, honeymooner, downward dog, bomb jacks for DH…more mosey, ran to the thang
THE THANG: A pile of goodies awaited us. Partnered up and found 1 item to share. Partner 1 did the exercise and called out the number they thought they could hit, partner 2 ran to the corner of the parking lot. Switch when partner 2 returned who also shared their guess on reps while partner 1 ran. Penalties were given for over/under and hitting numbers (this was all made up on the spot and math came into play). We rotated after each partner did the one exercise and the penalty after each round.

Exercises included:
-45 lb plate: round 1 shrugs, round 2 calf raises
-sandbag: round 1 man maker, round 2 shoulder press
-35 lb KB: R1 swings, R2 curls
-30 lb KB: R1 squats, R2 pass through lunges
-25 lb KB: R1 triceps extension, R2 plank row
-Ruck: R1 merkins, R2 chest press

We made it to round 2 for about 2-3 rotations. Penalties included merkins, bomb jacks, flutters, burpees, diamond merkins, etc. How much you went over or under drove the number of exercises and some of these had a multiplier…there was zero rhyme or reason to this.
MARY: No Mary today.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter, check that out
COT: lift up Sawdust’s mom who recently fell and lost a friend this past week

WARMUP:
Broga with Up/down dog
Scorpion
20 SSH in cadence
15 Moroccan night clubs IC
10 cherry pickers IC
THE THANG:
Moseyed over to The center of the parking lot and did Burpee suicides – adding a burpee at every other parking spot and at the beginning Kaiser said we got in 42 burpees
Then moseyed over to the back side of the school to get Cindy’s. Started with 10 curls OYO. Walked over to the grass area in front of the school and did Murder bunnies between 2 points (it was about 100 ft – felt like 100 yds)
Did 10 curls OYO then went back to the start, did 10 squat presses. Had a couple 10 counts and got back to it with murder bunnies again. 10 Curls OYO at when done, another couple 10 counts to catch our breath and then the final leg with 10 squat presses to finish.

Since we still had almost 15 minutes left we did a quick Dora with:
100 merkins
200 hello Dollies
300 squats
Ran to next light post/median and back

Headed back to COT and finished with some flutters.

Ring of Fire^ The Return of the Wheelbarrow

Leave a comment

Got the call from the #bullpen that @backdraft needed a “righty” to offer a proper beatdown. I waited for “Wild Thing” to blast through the speakers. *editors note: that didnt happen but 7 other men showed up.

Properly disclaimed and warned..err.. communicated what our plans were for the day. Everyone was excited (except @slash – but that is his own brand of excitement).

WARMUP: Dynamic warmup with #usualsuspects exercises and 100 yard mosey in between

THE THANG:
1. partner wheelbarrows/carries #crowdpleaser
2. Cindy Series: 2 lines of 4 PAX. P1: runner; P2: Cindy exercise; P3: Merkin, P4: AB or Leg. When runner returns- goes to back of line and everyone moves up a position. 3x rounds
3. Spring Series: 75%, 85%, 100%

COT: Closed out with Cash’s Prayer. Jay Griggs (F3 Cash) was a faithful member of F3 nation for many years and had many friends. He lost a prolonged battle with cancer not long ago. The Wednesday #AO at NAFO, originally named The Coop was renamed Ring of Fire in honor Jay.

At Jay’s funeral, a prayer was read that he lived by everyday. I often get to read this prayer at COTs but was especially meaningful today.

“Search me, Lord. Lead me to You. Help me to be a good man, a good father, a good husband and good employee. Help me to forgive and release from resentment those that I feel have offended me. Let me see the good in others and draw the goodness out of them.”

Deck of fun w/insurance

Leave a comment

Started w/some stretchy things then mosey down to MS for 20 merkins, 20 squats, and LBC. Mosey for a while, 15 of each, mosey then 10, mosey some more for 5 each.

Deck of fun w/insurance:
♡ = hard release merkins
♧ = jump squats
â—‡ = big boys
♤ = monkey humpers
Ace=1, cards 1 – 8, do the reps at each of the three lines, suicide run style
9 – K (13 for those that are challenged), only do the rep at the far line
Each person pulls 2 cards. Before pulling cards PAX can decide if they want insurance. 5 burpees for insurance. If you take insurance and pull 2 high cards, group only does half of reps. But if one low and one high card then group does everything.

I think we made it through about 2 rounds. PAX took insurance about 75% of the time and it paid off 0% of the time. Anyway, something different to try and blend some running in with the normal deck of Death.

Also, not sure about Slash’s new diet but he needs to cut down on the fiber. Thank goodness we were outside and there was a breeze!
