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…

VQ For Bowser At Milkshake!

Leave a comment

Today the sun came up again.  The birds  were back and singing.  The world continued to turn.  And then Milkshake was back as well.

Despite the unrest this week due to the Corona Virus, F3 was on and Milkshake was no exception.  I received a text from Shady yesterday asking if I wanted to reopen Milkshake, and I said absolutely.

What I didn’t know is that this morning would be a special one.  Overnight Uhaul told me he had been coaching his 2.0 Bowser to call cadence on his own.   So I planned to let Bowser lead his first exercise, in cadence.

First time I offered, no dice.  Second, the same. Third time was the charm and after some prodding all the Pax counted cadence with Bowser until he got his footing.

Well done Bowser!  You did something that many grown men refuse to do!  I’m expecting great things from you in the future!  Keep EHing your friends and keep posting buddy.

So besides the VQ of sorts, we roamed around the peach fields (on the sidewalk) and did a few exercises and some walking and some more exercises.  We didn’t touch each other (probably always wise) or benches or whatever, just in case but we still got a decent workout in at low impact/intensity.

Thanks for coming out for an impromptu Q as Milkshake was closed until the Mike Doty race was postponed.

Keep calm and carry on.

The Thrill is gone!

Boss Hogg Issued a Challenge at the Ballroom and the PAX did not Disappoint!!!

Leave a comment

Boss Hogg threw out a challenge to see how many PAX would show up at the Ballroom.  As usual, the PAX did not disappoint.  39 was the count.

Boss Hogg arrived in his all white Q outfit.  Disclaimer was given.  A quick message was given about the power of being an influencer.  PAX were reminded to always pick up the 6 and to encourage the guys around them.

The Thang:

Mosey to the center of the football field for a quick warmup:

  • 15 SSHs
  • 10 Windmills
  • 15 Imperial Walkers
  • 15 Cherry Pickers
  • 15 Hillbilly Walkers
  • 15 Gas Pumpers (THE Twisters favorite exercise)

Next was a Guillermo 1-2-3 (Dora’s little brother).  Similar to a Dora but PAX break up into two groups instead of pairing off in partners.  All exercises are done in cadence with a focus on form, not speed.

Exercises were:

  • 100 Overhead Claps
  • 200 LBCs
  • 300 Low Slow Squats

The other group started at the goal line, bear crawled to the 20, ran to the 50, did 1 burpee, and returned to the goal line.  Teams switched back and forth until all exercises were complete.

With the remaining time, the PAX moved to the track for some large dice fun.  One die contained the name of an exercise on each side.  The other 4 were used to determine the count.  Dice were rolled, exercises were done, and the PAX moved 1/4 of the way around the track.  This was repeated until the group had moved all the way around the track.

Time was up and the group headed back to COT.  Announcements were made.  Prayer requests focused on physical healing and marriages.  Due to the overwhelming support from the PAX in attendance, $1,000 was donated to Classroom Ready.

A great reminder to all PAX, don’t just be influenced but go out and be influencers!

Leave a comment

IMG_0005

10 men showed up at the Snake Pit for a VQ by YHC. I’ve been to DBES many times but a first for CRHS. Gorgeous campus with lots of fun to explore.

we kept it simple for our Metallic Kettle Bell workout but I’m looking forward to coming back for another round in The Snake 🐍 Pit

Pleasantries were had and away we went …

mosey around the lot for dynamic warm up

  • SSHs
  • Imperial Walkers
  • merkins
  • sumo squats
  • 2 rounds of calf raises
  • mountain climbers

back to the Bells

mini board of pain

only 5 exercises 1 lap 5 rounds

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…

The Hindenburg Hop

Leave a comment

Seven was the count for a cold crisp morning at Milkshake. There was some great fellowship this morning as we rucked/power walked around The Fort.

As we reached the top parking lot near Pikes, we circled up and did a little number called Pass the Dutchie. We took our rucks off and passed them around in a circle. There was an attack dog barking at us so after a few minutes, we decided to hightail it out of there and continue our our journey through The Fort.

As we reached downtown Fort Mill, we proceeded to do an Indian Plank up the hill. We lined up in a straight line in plank position and the HIM in the back of the line lunged to the front. We did a few rounds of this up the hill.

We headed down Tom Hall Street and Twister made a pit stop at Hardee’s. There were a few requests for biscuits, but Twister came back empty handed.

We started to make our way back to COT and we learned some interesting Fort Mill trivia. The Pikes building was designed to resemble the Hindenburg as the original owner was actually on the Hindenburg. I haven’t fact checked this, so I am just taking Twisters word for it. We may need to run this by Mayor Spitz to see if it checks out.

Back to COT for some praises and prayers.

A/C D/C, Lil Wayne, Brooks & Dunn @ SnakePit

Leave a comment

Was expecting a wet one this a.m. and while the rain held off a bit, as predicted, we were blessed with an abundance of water from the sky.

Got to the site early to setup shop and hide coupons from COT view. Jwoww happened to drive past the secret location on his way in and the tires were compromised.

Quick disclaimer and off we went for a mosey down to the entrance of the field, circled back around to COT for a warmup.

  • Imperial Walkers
  • Wind Mills
  • Cherry Pickers
  • M. Night Club
  • Honey Mooner
  • Downward Dog
  • A couple additional stretches

We then moseyed to 1 of 3 pain stations for the main event and fired up the playlist.

The Thang

DMC – Duck Walk, Merkin, Crawl Bears

Had cones spread 15ish yards apart explained the exercise; Duck walk w/ KB to first cone, 5 merkins, crawl bear back to starting position. Rinse and repeat bringing your KB to the next station and increasing merkin count by 5. Uhaul in his brilliance asked whether we were going to the 4th cone, of course, why would it be there otherwise?

After the 2nd round, you start feeling the impact of merkins and crawl bear. #shoulderstrong

After we wrapped up, the first station, off to the 2nd.

Tire Carry Partner Work

Partner up P1 run with tire to 2nd light post and return serving as the timer. P2 complete exercises on board of pain. Each partner execute on exercise, rinse and repeat through exercises. Walked through exercises and asked Bird Cage to demonstrate Hay Makers as I failed miserably at The Hive last Friday. This is about when the rain decided to appear.

Exercises in order:

  • KB Swings
  • Hay Makers
  • OH Press
  • Upright Row
  • Clean, Squat, Press
  • Lunge
  • Goblet Squat
  • Curls
  • Man Makerss

Sadly, running out of time, we were unable to move to the 3rd painstation, packed it up and headed back to COT for a finale.

Roxanne by The Police

Perfect song to end the workout, while in plank position:

  • Roxanne = Merkin
  • Put on the red light = Plank Jack

With 2 minutes to spare, suggested Burp & Squat increasing reps by 1 to 5. 1 burpee followed by 1 squat and so on. That was met with minimal enthusiasm and we made it to 4 by time.

Announcements

  • Yeti

Prayers

  • Cash – was informed surgery went well and is recovering
  • Mother who’s child was killed by car
  • Unspoken
  • Family

Always enjoy the solid mumblechatter at this AO, makes embracing the suck that much more enjoyable. Thanks 3D for the opportunity.
