The thang

Ladder concept…run to a cone and do the reps assigned at the cones. Go back to the start do 5 squats and then go to the next cone etc…

Exercises were merkins and LBCs

Also had a burpee whistle blown at my discretion. 3 burpees each time.

So the cones were lined up at the distance from “home”

So .05 was cone 1…. .10 was cone 2 etc… all the way to cone .25.

We were able to wrap up with most getting to 2.5-3.0 miles and everyone got 150 LBCs and 150 Merkins. Thanks to Rosie for the opportunity!!!

Shoulders and Shuffling

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer and light jog to the space between Walgreens and Jersey Mikes for COP
THE THANG:
COP (all in cadence): SSH x 25, Squat x 25, Mountain climber x 25, Freddie Merc x 20, LBC x 25, Windmill x 10, Diamond merkin x 15, back and shoulder stretch LH/RH, Jump squats x 20
Make a loose formation and mosey to the HT lot near the brick landscaping wall on the left side of the lot. The Pax stopped 4 times and did 5 burpees at each stop on the way to the wall.

At the wall, we did 11’s. Decline merkins and dips OYO (crowd pleaser).

Mosey about 20 yards from the wall and plank it up facing the wall. Hold plank/6″/elbow plank while the Pax, one by one, ran to the wall, did 3 box jumps or step-ups, and ran back.

Mosey to a section of striped lot across two rows and side shuffle along the striped rows in a zipper fashion for 6-7 rows. At the end of each row, do a burpee. Al Gore for the 6. Rinse and repeat back to the start, substituting bomb jacks.

Mosey to the small grassy area next to the landscaping wall for a traditional Jack Webb (1:4, merkins and overhead claps to 10)

Mosey to COT for Mary.

MARY: Box cutter x 20, American hammer x 20, Hello Dolly x 20, Superman hold x 2

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Murph Workout on Memorial Day after regular F3 workouts, Hog and Coyote, Tortoise and Hair CSAUP’s coming up. Read your newsletter!

COT: Prayers for ST’s friend Becky and JWOW’s neighbor with cancer. Also, Half Shell’s father-in-law (grand-father-in-law?)

Whew – summer’s coming. There’s much more sweat today than in the past few weeks. We hit the shoulders hard today with the 11’s and Jack Webb’s. I think those will be felt tonight. Great to see <@U07TVBVVC3X> today and looking forward to his V-Q next week at GC. Everyone put out a great effort today, and it’s always a pleasure to lead the Pax at <#C02PFBMMZL6> – one of my favorite AO’s of The Fort! Thanks again for the Q-spot <@U01CGBKBQ64>

Honing our Hockey Skills

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick run around the parking lot, to where Golden Corral meets, circle up for the following:
– 20 SSH
– 10 Windmills
– 15 Imperial walkers
– 10 Moroccan night clubs
– 10 Strawberry pickers
Then run to the parking lot at Grace Presbyterian Church for the main event!

THE THANG:
As mentioned in 38 Special’s AAR writeup from Minnow Pond the day before, done in the theme of Happy Gilmore, I do indeed suck at hockey. BUT – what I lacked in skill I made up for in intensity. So in light of Happy Gilmore as well as the ongoing NHL Playoffs for the Stanley Cup, I put together something fun yet challenging to improve our hockey #3S2T.

An NHL hockey rink is 200ft long x 85ft wide. The large parking lot in front of the church is a little larger – approx 240′ x 100′. Go big and train to compete, right? There were 8 cones set up around our rink, each with exercises and a mode of transportation to the next cone. Start at cone 1, do the exercise, move to the next. Happy Gilmore may not have been the best skater or shooter, but damn he was intense. No rest in between as Happy would want it
Note: DC = double count
Cones:
1. ICING CALL on the opponent! Puck dropped but they won it. SKATE to go on defense! >> Eric Heiden’s to #2. (aka lateral lunge runs).
2. On defense in the corner. Happy falls on the ice and can’t get up! >> 30 dying cockroaches (DC) and 20 hammers (DC) >> Bear crawl to #3 (approx 25 yds)
3. GET UP OFF THE ICE HAPPY!! In front of the net, blocking shots. >> 10 burpees. >> Strides to #4 (think of a run while skipping, knees up high).
4. Happy was a pugilist. In the opposite defensive corner of the rink. Work on your enforcer abilities! >> 20 planks w alternating punches (DC), 20 Cobra Kai’s (DC) (while holding a deep squat, alternate punching) >> GO ON OFFENSE!! >> Strides to #5 (opposite end corner of the parking lot)
5. We are wide open!! Pass me the puck!! Signal your teammates >> 40 SSH (DC) >> You got the puck, move to the net! >> Strides to # 6 (center rink, offensive side)
6. TAKE THE SHOT!! Practice your SLAPSHOT!! >> 30 Apolo Ohno’s w arm swings. >> Bear crawl to #7 (opposite corner, offensive side, approx 30 yds)
7. YOU SCORED!! Now taunt the LOSERS!! >> 30 monkey humpers, 20 dirty dogs (10 each leg). >> Mary Katherine Lunge to #8 (a lunge walk, while you are lunging, you are extending both arms overhead, like a touchdown signal).
8. CELEBRATE!! Raise Lord Stanley’s Cup!!! At center rink. With a cinderblock, 20 curls then 20 overhead presses. Did you know: The Stanley Cup weighs 35 lbs, and a cindy weighs 38 lbs.
Back to #1, and repeat.

Everyone got in 2 full rounds. Mumblechatter was epic! A lot of 90s pop culture references, specifically Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and how they both tied in together on several movies. We even incorporated the Globo Gym Purple Cobras team entrance moves between 6 and 7 on round 2. Google it if you want to know what that was. We were tired but still had a blast.

Then…..we channeled a little bit of Metro’s Shore Card and carried all the coupons back to COT. There were 6 of us, but there were 8 cindies, a 30 lbs plate, and a 40 lbs sandbag. It all got back.

MARY: A little less than 2 minutes worth.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter! Get involved!

COT: Had a LOT of P&P lifted up. Some good long discussions too. THIS is what it is all about.

Thanks Slapshot for the opportunity to lead.
Blessings and SYITG,

2025 PGA Championship – Quail Hollow

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs

We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).

I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet

Thank you Nasa for the call.

COT:
Thank you Slapshot for your dedication and efforts as the 1st F Q!

Congratulations Bonsai and Time Machine on taking on the 1st F Q roles and to Cyclopes on assuming the LDP role. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring!
