Four at The Hive for an Anniversary beatdown

Leave a comment

One year ago on this day I joined 3D and many other HIMs at what was then known as the Tomahawk at Doby’s Bridge Elementary.  One year later I have posted approximately 250+ times and led the workout in the midst of the Rona…  It was a solid workout, Weinkes were laminated and even signed this time, and a CSPAN approved photo was provided.  One year down, all of them to go…

The Thrill Is Back – At The Hive

Leave a comment

It’s been a wild and weird year this year hasn’t it?  I took a break from in person workouts until I got used to this new normal and last year I decided to just go for it and start posting again in person.

UHaul thought it would be a good idea to let me Q again, I guess.  I’m just making up stuff at this point but here’s the real workout.

I call it Double Trouble.

One exercise with the bells, one body weight or with the bell if you feel spunky.

Round 1, 10 each exercise, Round 2 15 and Round 3 25 each of the following:

Swings
Turkish getups

Goblet squats
Flutters

Curls
Merkins

Tricep extensions
Squats

Sumo squat
LBC

Skull crusher
Rosa Lita

Dead lifts
Calf raises

Lawnmowers
American hammers

One arm dead lift
Moroccan night club

Between Round 1 & 2 we ran a bit to the church and back.

Thanks again for the opportunity to lead UHaul.  It’s good to be back out in the gloom.

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

“Quarantine Convergence” – Snake Pit 4.22.2020

Leave a comment

Snake Pit 4.22.2020

Disclaimer – we had an FNG so I had to cross the t’s and dot the i’s.

My goal was to play a Queen play list because my current quarantine stache is making YHC look like Freddie Mercury. We decided against the music for the sake of the residents nearby. 

 

Warmup:

20 SSH, 10 IW/HW/Moroccan Night Clubs

Weinke:

I wore an interval timer that was set to go off every 3 minutes. Every time it sounded we did two things:

1. 5 Burpees at each beep
2. Go onto the next Circuit and pick up where we left off from the time prior

Each Group Rotate After Each “Burpee-Val”

Circuit 1
25 Calf Raises Toes Pointed Straight
20 Goblet Squats
15 UHAULS
10 Skull Crushers
5 Clean and Press Each Side
30 Flutters With Bell

Circuit 2
25 Calf Raises Toes Pointed Out
20 KB Swings
15 Kid Launches
10 Curls Each Side
5 Right Turkish Get Ups
30 LBCs With Bell

Circuit 3
25 Calf Raises Toes Pointed In
20 Reverse Lunges (10 Each Side)
15 OH Press
10 Lawnmowers Each Side
5 Left Turkish Get Ups
30 American Hammers With Bell

In all, we made it through each round 3 times. You can do the math to figure out the totals.

While we were cycling through, I asked the PAX one by one to tell the group how they’ve taken advantage of all of the added time with family/friends. Most have been able to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of the commute/work/busy life and have been able to focus on their families more. This is a huge blessing that we must not miss the chance to capture!

In all, we had 12 PAX and 850 total burpees. It got a little hairy toward the end, but I believe everybody enjoyed the work. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, 3D.

Announcements
Manion WOD this weekend – reach out to Maximus if you would like more details

Punch List out.

F3iversary Q

Leave a comment

Well, Omaha is something we have for a reason.  One PAX was at the wrong location, but arrived in time for a late start.  There was plenty of fellowship, albeit at a distance.  There was acceleration and shared leadership, albeit at a distance.  In the end there were 4 PAX that entered the gloom, shared some lifting of heavy things and then prayed together, all at a distance.

These strange days have led to many alternative approaches to 1st F, but there is something to be said about proximity, even while at a distance.

Pain Board, Playing Cards and Stairs, lots of stairs…

Leave a comment

Thursday morning was another wonderful morning in the gloom.  The PAX assembled and then made their way down to the CoG parking lot where a board of pain and a deck of cards was waiting.

Long story short, we did the things on the below box and then did stairs, many many stairs…

 

Video evidence is below…

Pumping iron after Yeti

Leave a comment

YHC was called of the bench to help Q the Armory within a 24 hour notice. Always a pleasure to dish out the pain with iron!  9 PAX posted after the yeti, TClaps to Fishsticks for posting after completing the Yeti

COP with a few of this and a few of that, then mossy over to the middle parking lot area for the pain.

20 reps of the following then run to the end of the parking lot and back

Squats, Overhead Press, Upright Row, KB Swings, Bentover Row, Curls, Skull Crushers, Chest Press

We got 3 rounds in, then did one more round of 10 reps.

20 reps of the following – 2xs, then run

LBC, Flutters, American Hammers, Big Boys

Mossy to COT

Thanks for the opportunity!

Board of pain, faraway fences and bat flipper bear crawls

Leave a comment

Nearly 3 miles were achieved by some, significantly less by others (Slash & UHaul always chose Bear Crawls…).  Some very solid mumblechatter…  A little flatulence…  Short chat on Lent and the presence of Catholics in Fort Mill…  Probable hair styles for the Son of God…  All in all it was a pretty eventful morning…
