Complicated Math

Leave a comment

Run down to the flag poles at the Elementary School. Divide into teams of 3, pax 1 and 2 at each end of the parking loop doing exercises while third pax ran to one end of the parking loop to switch out with pax 2. Pax 2 ran to Pax 1 and switched out. Three full rounds were completed.
Next, we moseyed to the brick wall, 5 muscle ups, +2 every time we returned to the wall. Ran to the field parking lot 10 squats back to the brick wall, repeat the squats at each light pole
Back to COT.

Gam Guillotine Redux

Leave a comment

This BB is going to be easy, at least for the workout part. In honor of the 10th anniversary of my first F3 workout – 6/29/2016 at Pantheon with Jekyll on Q – I decided to recreate his Q nearly verbatim. I was able to find his original back blast. This is yet ANOTHER reason to do these things!!
WARMUP:
Mosey around the lower parking lot, then circle up near COT for the following:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 WM
  • 15 IW
  • 20 MNC
  • 10 strawberry pickers

Then mosey over to the top of the hill on the roadway next to the USMC JROTC building.
THE THANG:
Gam Guillotine
Start at the top of the hill.
Round 1
5 squats, run to stop sign at bottom, then do 5 jump squats. 1 round is up and back. Do 5 rounds total. Ended up back up at the top.
Lungewalked 1/2 way down, crabwalk 1/2 way down. NUR back up the hill to start.
Round 2
5 lunges each leg, then run down to bottom, then 5 Mary Catherines each leg (or 5 jump squats each leg). Do 5 rounds total. Ended up back at the top of the hill.
Round 3
Jack webbs. 1 Merkin, then 4 overhead claps. 10 rounds total, to where we did 10 merkins, 40 OH claps last round.
Back to COT.
>> It was just as horrible today as it was 10 years ago, and it hurt ALOT back then. Back then we ran 'the camelback' portion of the path to heart attack hill in Tega Cay, a short section less than 1/10th a mile but had 12-15% grade. I remember almost passing out on round 8 of the hill. This time we had only 5-7% grade and it was still nasty.
MARY:
We got back to COT with enough time to knock out 20 flutters (2 ct), that's it. Time's up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Alot going on. Read the newsletter, get involved. If you do not see something in the newsletter or hear in the COTs that you want to push, then push it, lead it. Invigorate your male community leadership.
COT:
Alot lifted up. Welcome back Tang!

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Leave a comment

I was able to convince one of the Travis Manion Foundation managers (Chris) to bring one of their trailers of pain to honor a fallen hero. Today we honored 1st Lt Travis Manion’s best friend Lt Brendan Looney. They were best friends and they are buried side by side at Arlington National Cemetery after their heroic acts and careers.

WARMUP:

windmills, low slow squats, Moroccan night clubs

THE THANG:
Our friend Chris AKA “Hawkeye”now, had all sorts of toys 🧸 🚂🪀in his trailer but we went for 60lbs sandbags.

The WOD:

DOB // 02.24.1981
2 laps run/ruck
24 Over the head/shoulder sandbag toss
81 calf raises

He died on his 59th mission.
59 squats with sandbag optional, all of us did the majority of squats with a bag on our shoulders.

DOD // 09.21.2010
9 man makers
21 front sand bag tosses
10 lunges

Rinse and repeat!! We completed two full rounds.

5 – 25 – 250

Leave a comment

Slow mosey around the perimeter of the parking lot, then circle up near COT for the following
WARMUP:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 Windmills
  • 20 MNC
  • 15 Strawberry Pickers
  • 20 OH clamps

Then mosey over to the start of the WEP loop near the parking lot.
THE THANG:
5-25-250
In honor of Memorial Day (5-25) and the 250th Birthday of the United States of America
Run the WEP sidewalk loop. Start at the bathroom side so we get that nice uphill There are 11 swing stations. Run between stations. Stop at 10 of them, then do 25 reps of each of the 5 exercises at each of the 10.

  1. Merkins
  2. Mountain climbers
  3. LBC
  4. LSS
  5. Imperial walkers

At one station about halfway through we stopped to talk about the history of Memorial Day.
So mathing things out
5 exercises
25 reps each
10 stations
250 reps total of each exercise
By the time we got back around to the amphitheater it was 6am on the dot.

Simple yet effective. Repetition seems boring but doing max reps of an exercise, until it burns, builds tolerance, endurance, strength. We hit all major muscle groups. Got smoked.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Alot going on. Read the newsletter and get involved.
COT:
Alot lifted up. Family health issues, kids, parents, teachers finishing school; anniversaries; sons going into harm's way to help others; PAX health both mental and physical; and more.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Sandbag Sack Race – Now With Bonus Card Gambling!

Leave a comment

It was supposed to be a straightforward sandbag game. It turned into a full-on comedy roast with heavy objects and bad ideas involving bear crawls. The sandbag passing was clunky as advertised, but the teamwork, mumblechatter, and nonstop laughter more than made up for it.
We got after it, we picked up the six, and we had a ridiculous amount of fun doing it. That’s F3 in a nutshell — leave no man behind, but make sure he’s suffering and smiling while he gets better.
Thanks for showing up and playing along, men. Great effort across the board.
Aye!
Pollo Hermano
SYITG
WARMUP: SSH, IW, Merkins

THE THANG: Sandbag Sack Race
Two teams lined up shoulder-to-shoulder like we were auditioning for the world’s sweatiest relay. One sandbag per team. The rule was simple on paper: pass that heavy bastard down the line and back, then the whole team sprints together to your home side, knocks out a pile of reps as a unit, and hauls ass back for round two.
No man left behind. Lots of grunting, questionable passing technique, and colorful suggestions about where the sandbag could go next. It was equal parts teamwork drill and comedy show. Clunky? A little. Effective smoke session? Hell yes.
After we’d had enough of playing hot potato with the sandbag, we moseyed back toward COT… for the
Card Game Beatdown – “Move & MOT”
We broke out four mystery cards in the small parking lot: two “Move” and two “MOT” (Mode of Transport). Each card had a 1 on top and a 2 on the bottom, hiding two exercises or two ways to crawl/run/crab your way across the islands.
PAX picked a number for MOT and a number for Move. Then it was:
• Knock out the exercise
• Traverse the parking lot island-to-island using the chosen mode of transport
• Repeat the exercise on the way back
Examples included merkins + bear crawls, burpees + lunges, squats + karaoke, and plenty of other combinations that made grown men question their life choices while giggling like idiots. Foul language flowed freely. Laughs were abundant. Someone definitely called the bear crawl “the worst decision since my last marriage.”
We capped it off with a victory lap around the lot, then headed back to COT.

MARY:
A solid bit of core work to finish (Flutter Kicks, Freddy Mercurys) while still trading jokes about the morning’s chaos.
