The Kitchen Sink – 01FEB2023

WARMUP:
We stretched a bit, some windmills, light jogging, tappy-taps, some SSH, you get the idea…

THE THANG:
Sandbags required. YHC had and recommended a 60lb, but no one was weighing anything…
– First it was a long, bagless loop around the parking lot/car loop with some stops to do things like Merkins, squats, and the like.
– Then we grabbed our sandbags and partnered up for a little catch me if you can from the flag to the top of Hubert Graham — 5 burpees while your partner farmer carried your bags, catch and switch
– At every manhole cover on the way down the hill (for 7 covers), do 5 manmakers
– On the way back up the hill, do 20 flutters (2-count) with press at each manhole cover
– Next round, 3 curls on the way down and up
– REPEAT as time allows… time didn’t allow…
– Back to flag for cool-down and Mary

MARY: No Chicks Allowed.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.

found a chainsaw in the woods

WARMUP: rucked to the woods
THE THANG: Found the perfect log to make a bridge across the creek. Luckily there was a chainsaw and tape measure in the woods to cut the wood to the correct length. Unfortunately there were not enough studs to transport the 12 foot log so that’s saved for another day. Ruck back through the bossman trail to the pull up station. Pull ups and squats.

Miles and Smiles at The Stockade

Warm and wet at the Stockade this morning. Once Tsunami and Grinder showed I decided to call and audible and not do the EMOM madness I had planned.

Instead I indulged myself and the fellow PAX with “The Slapshot “ route. Running from the Stockade we went down 160, made the right on Stonecrest, down/up Hubert Graham and then right onto Gold Hill rd. We made a few detours that added some mileage.

As for the cadence we ran for 45 seconds then took a 25 second break for merkins/cool down. After hitting the century mark in merkins we switched to squats.

The chatter and encouragement during this workout was awesome! Grinder provided me a simple solution to a problem that has been bothering me and tsunami pushed himself hard!

It’s something I’ve learned in the almost 4 years in that Some of the best F3 workouts I’ve been a part of is when less than 5 ppl have posted. Extremely thankful for the men who ran with me today… and all the guys who post with me in the past and future!

Until next time!

Hill repeat Monday

At 0515, YHC told the PAX there is no warm up we were ready to roll and headed out toward Gold Hill Middle. It was supposed to be a mosey, but was more running.

At the first parking lot we counted off and gave a very bastardized disclaimer- basically modify as necessary and you should read the disclaimer on the website.
From there I explained what the workout was,;
25 merkins at the school, then head up the hill to the bank, do 25 Freddy Mercurys (4 count- like in cadence), then back to school and rinse/repeat until 0600.

Most got in 4-5 rounds and all got in at least 3.5 miles.

COT: lots of announcements and prayers – I was oxygen deprived so I don’t recall them at this point 🤦🏼‍♂️

The Battle: Kitchen Sink edition

Nice cool morning here in the greater Tega Cay area. As we were waiting in the parking lot YHC was hoping for at least 1 more pax to show up for what I had planned. Thankfully PETA pulled in at 5:14 and we were ready to go!

Warmup:

25 Merkins IC ( I’m a little disappointed in myself when I struggled with my last rep. I will do better next time)
25 Flutters IC
10 Merkins IC
10 Flutters IC
5 Merkins IC
5 Flutters IC

Mosey to the Tree within the Traffic Circle

Counted off the pax into team 1 and team 2. Facing opposite ways we did a competitive “challenge run” running around the large traffic circle in front of the school. This run required the 6 to do 2 burpees before running to the front. To win each team had to complete 4 laps. Winners got to do 10 Burpees and losers had to do 20. Pax pushed and it was a VERY close race as a result we both won and did 10 burpees.

Mosey to the front of the school.

We began the 2nd portion of the workout doing a Tabata style sequence 45 seconds of work 15 seconds of rest.

2 Rounds of :
HR Merkins
Squats
Diamond Merkins
BBS

After the second round we did a recovery lap and got into the mental battle known as “last man planking” In short we circled up and held plank as long as we could until no one could plank anymore. I would periodically call merkins to “thin the herd”. After calling 5 merkins IC everyone held fast. After calling 6 merkins IC we had 4-5 drop. After calling 7 Merkins IC we had everyone else drop except for YHC and Maximas. With that Maximas was declared the winner and we moved on to COT with just about 7 minutes to go.

With a little under 7 minutes to go of course I called a Burpee EMOM. Started with a round of 10, moved to 11, moved to 12, back down to 11, down to 10, and then one last round of 10. With only 30 seconds left we did a light stretch and 1 more HR merkin for good measure.

Great work by all the men who showed especially Flounder as he sets a great example for all the other PAX.

The Theme today was “the Battle”. Not only the battle we face with competition, or each other but mostly the battle we have with ourselves. How much can you push yourself and how far are you willing to go? Chances are you can go at least “one more rep” you just need to believe you can and people to help push you further.

Thanks for the opportunity! Until Next Time!
