Day: September 13, 2018

Being the day after the 17th anniversary of 9/11 I knew I wanted to recognize the vets and first responders  the mean so very much to us as Americans.  F3 has a taken hold of the “22 for the Vets” pushup challenge recognizing that 22 Vets a day commit suicide.  This number has become attached to honoring our servicemen.

As I show exactly at 5:30 to the Snowballs parking lot and approach the Pax I am greeted by Gastone and 8 more of the fellas waving hello to me via Monkey Humpers.   At that time of the morning, this is quite a stinky way to start that day butt we press on with our ass-perations of moving our rears.

I take over for the Warm Up:

SSH x 22

Moroccan Night Clubs x 22

Da Thang:

Mosey to the park for some 11’s (we were going to do 2 sets of 11’s making 22 but I messed up my knee at work and barely made it through the workout so the 2nd set was Omaha’d);

Squats this side and Merkins over there.

LBC’s x50

Mosey to the shelter for 2 rounds x 22;

Mosey back to Snowballs. I need to recognize Gastone, D-Fib, Boudin, Island, and Turtleman for always greeting the Pax as we come in.  This is really inspirational to me.  I will be up front with you guys one day greeting too.  Thanks guys.

Still 3 minutes so more Mary;

At this point what looked to be a Forestview student having him morning workout joined us and with no surprise the Pax was super inviting and welcoming.  He said he would be back.  I hope that’s true.

Leg raises x 22

American hammers x22

Flutter kicks x22

Time.

Big shout out to Toto for serving with honor in our military.  Thank you brother for all you and all Vets do and have done.  Thank you also to the first responders and health care pros that do such an important job daily.  This ones for you guys.

Thank you guys for all the encouragement.  The honor is completely mine.  You are the best.

Aye!

Timeframe

I know it’s a bit late but here goes.

Lately I’ve been wanting to incorporate stretching into the F3 workouts.  I think it is an important part of overall fitness and could do us all some good in the attempt to try and avoid pesky injuries.  With this being said I planned the workout accordingly.

We did the Warm Up:

SSH x20

Goofballs x20

Merkins x20

Squats x20

Mayor and the Painlab HIMs at this point went to do their thang and we went to the rear of the library to do ours.

The Thang:

Complete set of said exercise and mosey up both sets of steps and touch library and return;

3 sets x 20;

Merkins

Yoga stretch…Downward Dog.

3 sets x20

Squats

Yoga stretch..Warrior 1 and 2

3 sets x20

LBC’s

Yoga stretch..Standing swan down to downward dog then up to cobra.

At this point there were multiple sets of 20 of each of the following;

Derkins

Leg raises

Dips

LBCs

Merkins

Toe risers x 5 up each of both sets of steps.

2 laps around parking lot

Return to Gashouse for Mary with the pain lab HIMs.

There were some

Nolan Ryans

American hammers

Leg raises

LBC’s

It was a small group but the quality of HIMs was outstanding as always.

I promise that the honor is all mine.

Aye!

Timeframe

Posting this for Orangeman who isn’t set up yet with account to post backblast

Orangeman first ever Q, and it was a tough one.

Warmup: SSH 21x, 3 burpee, Imperial Walkers 21x, 6 burpee, Morocan Night Clubs.  Mosey to parking lot behind BBT

VQ called for 11’s, hip slappers and big boy sit ups.  A little confusion in counting on a Monday morning, but Pax eventually got through it.

Mosey down main street to Glendale.  Take a left at Glendale to Veterans Park.  Pledge.  20 Dips Oyo on benches surrounding flag. Back to street.

Beauty about Glendale is that starting at Vet Park and heading back toward Main and beyond is a series of steep hills.  Q calls for run hill and stop at each side street for an exercise.  At  Main 10 merkins, next street 20 crunchy frogs and back to main for 10 merkins.  Back up hill for 20 crunchy frogs, and on to next side street for 30 I can’t remembers.  Back down hill for 20 crunchy frogs, up hill for 30 I can’t remembers, then up hill to next street for 40 stagger merkins. Back down hill for 30 I can’t remembers, and then up for 40 more stagger merkins.

Mosey back to middle school for burpees until time.

Nameorama, announcements, prayer requests, COT

Really good VQ by Orangeman, tough workout.  Hate to see what in store for his next one.

Tiger

I mean if I can’t count correctly, count it yourself.  Teamwork.  Imperial Squats are not cadence friendly, but burpies are.  Henceforth Imperial Squats will be supplanted by burpies and handstands.
