Kicking Ass & Chewing Bubble Gum

Leave a comment

Driving around FM the night before running errands and thinking about my Q at the Stockade. Reviewed a few BBs and didn’t see any references to coupons. Messaged The Pirate, who was Qing at Varsity, and asked if I could borrow a few Cindys. He was very much obliged as I took a few off his AO. Woke up this morning with a car packed full of Cindys and a plan, the only thing left to do was to kick ass and chew gum.

WARMUP: Short mosey around the small parking lot which led into the larger parking lot where I had the Belle Ringer IPC wo laid out. Performed a few SSH & Burpees while explaining the format of the workout. Time to work.

THE THANG:

Format: AMRAP for 40 minutes
Set-Up: Make a 5-point star with each point of the star being 25 yards away from the center.
Workout starts with:
1. 5 ManMakers in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 2 and perform 10 “We’re Not Worthy”. Farmer carry back to center.

2. 5 ManMakers in middle. Rifle carry to cone 3 and perform 15 Goblet Squats. Farmer carry back to center.

3. 5 ManMakers in middle. Rifle carry to cone 4 and perform 20 CurltoPress OH. Farmer carry back to center.

5. 5 ManMakers in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 30 BentOverRows. Farmer carry back to middle.

Adding Gardenia

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Not typically done at this AO. Try to get here early enough to manage yourself.
THE THANG:
Run towards Gardenia every stop sign we did and additional merkin starting with 1. There are 10 stop signs.

7s on the hill – burpees and bomb jacks. We only got two rounds in. That hill is hard

Run back with merkins the same way. Total merkins 110.

MARY:
Throw the 60lb sandball over your shoulder once when you get back

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas party

COT: was held.

If during your childhood the holidays were nothing but joy and wonder—never realizing how many people spend this season hurting over loss, stress, or heartache—then what an amazing gift your parents gave you. Think about that now that we’re the men creating a holiday environment in the depths of winter for our families.

Cha-Ching’s Legacy

Leave a comment

So, https://f3thefort.com/2020/01/17/black-diamond-at-the-one-word-convergence/, because they guy would lay ridiculous beatdowns. And there’s just no need to reinvent the wheel. It’s already round and works really well (that’s also my Naked Man Moleskin). Plus that’s part of why we write the backblasts!
WARMUP: Yes, did that. Cha Ching didn’t, and I needed more warm-up. If you can’t do it, don’t Q it! FTC showed up late; so, he missed it.

THE THANG:
Cha Ching warmup:
EMOM
min 1 – 20 burpees (this was hard, counted them in cadence)
min 2 – 30 jumping lunges
min 3 – 40 penguins
min 4 – 50 carolina dry docks
min 5 – 60 side straddle hops

then we mosey a bit
did some peruvian mountain climbers and bulgarian split squats on a bench
mosey some more
bear crawl a bit

That’s when we hit the Jack Webb:
1 Mack Tar Jai
4 Jump Squats
got to 7/28, then moseyed to pull up bars

Hung on the bars for a while
Did some knee ups
Did some super slow pull ups

Got close to COT and finished the Jack Webb set

Then we had 6 minutes left, so we did the Cha Ching EMOM “warm up” sequence again. It was rough

MARY: Last Call called flutters in cadence for the first time.

3 leg tour

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Ditch Witch led!

THE THANG: YHC had a plan pulled from previous Alcatraz backblasts, but it was a pretty morning. So, here’s a list of what we DID NOT do:
– 30 pull ups
– 45 burpees
– 90 squats
– 120 dips
– and laps (thanks Decibel)
and/or a ladder courtesy of Backdraft
– 10 burpees
– 20 jumping lunges
– 30 Carolina Dry Docks
– 40 jump squats
– 50 merkins
Instead we covered 3.5ish miles and stopped occasionally to regroup. We went to the end of Anchorage, Windward, and Point Clear. At the stops, we did some exercises in cadence, some yoga, or just considered the myriad of ways this workout siphoned and what a jerk YHC is.
MARY: led by the PAX in a circle
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 3 CSAUPS this summer – in the https://7tqd.short.gy/f3-thefort-newsletter
COT: a stirring word from Aquaman on the importance of all 3 Fs. Keep posting.
