FNG x 3!!!

Nice Chilly morning here in the Gloom where we were blessed to have 3 FNG’s here at Block Party

Started the Disclaimer a little early but for the sake of the FNG’s it gave us an opportunity to go over the 5 core principles of F3.

Warmup:

5 MNC’s
25 Burpees (at this point Saw Dust rolled up)

Mosey to the First Baptist Parking Lot

Did 20 LBC’s IC while we waited for the 6.

Lined up facing the Church and did the following:

25 Merkins
25 Squats
25 Flutters
Run to the sign of the Church and back.

4x

After we were all done we talked a little about Our Mission at F3 why it is we do what we do with a focus on our community leadership.

Moseyed up the hill over towards the print shop. Stopped on the road and did 20 Freddy Mercury’s while we waited for the 6.
Once they joined us we did 10 Imperial Walkers IC

Moseyed some more over the railroad tracks to the sidewalk where we waited for the 6 and did 15 HR Merkins.

Once they Joined we continued towards COT on the Sidewalk briefly stopping to do 1 burpee by the F3 Scarecrow.

Once we got back into COT. Did 10 Hillbilly Walkers until the 6 came in.

Talked about the Creedo of F3. Then we began our last major part of the workout.

10 Minute EMOM (with 11’s)

Every Minute on the minute we would do 11 reps of the following 2 exercies in this pattern:

1 Burpee – 10 Toe Touches
2 Burpees – 9 Toe Touches
3 Burpees – 8 Toe Touches …..
Until…..
10 Burpees – 1 Toe Touches.

During our “rest” we went around the circle and talked about our names…why we got them then talked about how F3 has all made us better, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

This took us to 5:58 where I played a little bit of Superman/Bananna.

During COT we again talked about the meaning behind the Names we all get and what we keep coming back to F3 for.

Great to see the new faces and great to see this site accelerating!

Until Next Time!

ALCATRAZ 10 YR ANNIVERSARY PARTY

PRE-WORKOUT: Pullups with Trucker

WARMUP: Run back and forth two times in the Runde parking lot

THE THANG:

After a brief introduction including some history of Alcatraz, Funhouse kicked off COP with 50 SSH, (although I believe 100 were planned in homage to Santini). From there it was imperial walker x 10, hillbilly walker x 10. Before we got to the meat of the workout, YHC called out a classic Alcatraz upper body workout called Green Sally (Decibel/2014). It’s a song by Moby called ‘Flower’ where you plank when he sings ‘Green Sally Up’ and drop to 6″ when he sings ‘Green Sally Down’. It’s pretty tough to complete the whole song and I don’t think anyone did today. But, you have to have monster shoulder strength. Because we had a large group today, we split them in half and started our Q’s:

Funhouse on Q:
The Wheel of Pain (Funhouse/2013)
Each PAX gets a cone with an excercise and reps.
40 yard diameter circle with a cone in the middle.
Do the excercise on the cone, run to the middle and out to the cone to the right.

Freddy Mercury – 25
Lunges – 30
Burpees – 15
Merkins – 15
Rosalita- 30
Squats – 25
LBC – 25
Burpees – 10
SSH – 30
Parker Peter – 25
Plank Punches – 30
Mountain Climbers – 30
Merkins – 15

Senator Tressel on Q
Mosey to the bottom of the hill on Tara Tea Drive for ‘Quadzilla’ (Zima/2018)
Group 1 does squats while Group 2 runs backwards up the hill and does 5 bombjacks at the hilltop. Run back down and flapjack. Rinse and repeat 2 more times.

Mosey to the playground for pullups, step ups, and ab exercises (Senator Tressel/2013) We did 2 rounds today

Mosey to the wall by the concessions stand and split into two groups.
Group 1 does Peoples chair and passes a kettle bell (White Lightning/2018), while Group 2, runs to the fence, hops over it, sprints up the hill, does 3 burpees at the top, and runs back to the wall. Flapjack. (Jekyll/2017) We did 2 rounds today.

Form a line for tunnel of love (stolen from Santini at WEP/2012)

MARY: Hello Dolly x 20, Seal walk (Cornhole/2013), Navy Seal Team Sit Ups (Santini/Trucker 2013)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter

COT: Today we celebrated 10 years at Runde Park by paying homage to some of the classic beatdowns led by the great Q’s of Alcatraz. Funhouse and I drew an Alcatraz record 32 Pax and that made me very proud (of course, we advertised heavily, offered free coffee, beer, cake, and closed the other two Saturday AO’s so maybe that had something to do with it – LOL). Although, attendance at bootcamps on Saturdays isn’t what is used to be, I will post whenever I am able. Runde Park has been my home on Saturday mornings, and even after all these years, I still look forward to getting up early, meeting the Pax at 6:30, and doing that tough bootcamp workout. Many thanks to all that posted with us this morning and special thanks to our current and former site Q’s: Funhouse, Smuggler, Trucker, Skipper, and Uber for their leadership and help pulling this all together. I appreciate all you guys!

Prayers: ST’S mom with cancer, DD’s friends with a new pregnancy, Long Duck recovering from burns and back injury
