Day: March 28, 2017

100% chance of burpees

18 men posted to what may be the hottest day of 2017.  the warning of burpees didn’t deter these beasts.  1730 hits, time to clock in.  5 fngs with us today so a proper disclaimer was given.  i’m not a professional, i’m an idiot and i’m about to prove it.  modify as needed, you against you. i’m merely giving suggestions.

warmup: chumbaburpee with a twist.  instead of ssh, we did imperial walkers and burpees.   mumble chatter started early…and pretty much lasted  the entire 45 minutes.  we’re warm, let’s mosey.

arrived at the backside of two fields for some circuit work.  35 seconds of work, brief rest.   the exercises were: x-situps, ssh, lbc, flutter kicks, (slaw hears a train, 5 burpees), merkins, mountain climbers, def leppards, lunges, dying cockroaches, overhead presses, Moroccan nightclubs…and burpees.

baatan death march to the not closest turd shack for 35 seconds of donkey kicks and ascending testicles with reps of 20, 10 and 5.

mosey back to the closest turd shack for 35 seconds of wall taps.

circle up for a few choices from the pax.   defib picked americans hammers x 35IC.  Edison picked flutter kicks x 35IC and def leppard with Appalachian americans x 35IC.

short mosey across the parking lot for the pledge.   burpee long-jump back across the packing lot where blart led mike Tysons x something IC.   closed with slaw leading us with 22 for the vets.  TIME.

COT: named the FNGs, announcements and prayer requests.  BOM: yhc closed us in prayer.

Moleskin: strong work from the  everyone today.  of course, this is not a surprise.   the midoryiama men are all beasts.  this past week marked my one year anniversary since joining F3.  i can’t really put into words what this has meant to me.   i sincerely thank everyone single person I’ve had the pleasure of posting with.  f3 has not only changed my life from a health standpoint, but in about every other place as well.  i started on March 19, 2016 weighing in at 362LBS.  I remember my first workout and had to stop running twice before we said the pledge.   as you all know, that’s a run of about 40-50 feet from the warmup spot to the road.   struggling doesn’t begin to describe it.  about 20 minutes into the workout i almost walked back to the truck and went home.   i thought this was not for me.   then, enter Rudolph.  BA has us partner up for block work and Rudolph was stuck with me.   he did about 98% of every called exercise.  it was at this point i found out one of f3’s biggest attributes, leave no man behind.   i can honestly say that without the encouragement from Rudolph, i would have left early, and most likely never returned.   but there was something about f3.  shieldlock is real.  there are countless others that have helped my path and i’m forever grateful for you all.

again, thank you all for the support, encouragement and sweat-equity.   i love you guys.

Death by a 1,000 cuts…ok maybe not death

Well 6 brave men fought off the fart sack and maybe it to Folsom this morning.  I had planned a Q that would be fast paced with about 5 seconds of rest between.  It was compromised of 30 different exercise, okay I over estimated on the 1000, all done for 30 seconds then move into the next exercise.  The idea was to keep the heart elevated without a mosey and do various exercise in rapid succession.

Start with disclaimer and pledge and a brief introduction on how the morning was going to go.

Mosey to pavilion.

30 seconds of each in rapid succession:

Burpees x 10 (not timed)

Finished slightly ahead of schedule so next time maybe 45 seconds per exercise!

One Big Loop

5 HiM including 1 FNG fought the fartsack, and a what looked like a heavy coating of dew (some would argue it was rain), to put in some work at the Storm.  The great thing about the Storm is there are endless areas to exercise.  Today was one big loop with running and pain stations and we didn’t even cover the entire AO.  With that said here’s what went down at the Storm this morning.
