What’s in a name?

17 of The Gashouse’s finest and YHC showed to Midoriyama for some evening gloom.  The Twitter has something a while back that seemed interested and I decided to give it a try. 

Warmup – SSH x 3IC

Let’s mosey.  Head fake and back to the turd shack.

I had a list of exercises where every letter had an exercise that started with the corresponding letter.

The Pax would then spell their full legal name and their F3 name – while taking a lap after each name. This was met with much mumble chatter.

Once complete we moved to the official F3 deck.

Slow mosey back to the start for Mary.

Pledge, 22 for the vets.

TIME

Announcements: Q source, there may or not be a 2nd F event in Belmont every Friday.

Prayer requests: Easy Rider’s son, others.

BOM: YHC closed in prayer.

NMM: Blart also spoke about Tool Time and his upcoming mission trip.  What a wonderful opportunity he has to further the Kingdom of Christ. I know that he is known around here as the king of the mumble chatter, but he is also a remarkable human being.  He’s there for everyone, no matter how fast or slow, or whatever the difference may be.  I hope God blesses his trip as much as he has blessed the lives of so many in this region.  It’s an honor to call him a friend and brother.

Return of The Blocks

15 men showed at Midoriyama tonight to put in some work.  To my knowledge, blocks haven’t been used in a good while at Midoriyama.  So I figured a good ole block beatdown  was long overdue for the PAX at Midoriyama.

Warm-Up:  SSH, Grass Pickers, Don Qs

The Thang:

Each PAX is instructed to grab a block from the back of Slaw’s truck and make there way to the parking lot just on the other side of the turd shack.  Here we would partner up for some partner block work.  5 exercises are given.  The exercises are:  50 Blockees, 75 Thrusters, 100 Tricep Ext., 125 Curls, and 150 Chest Press.  As P1 does exercise reps, P2 runs to end of parking lot and does 5 Hand Release Merkins, then returns to switch with partner.  Then P2 continues exercise as P1 runs, 5 HR Merkins, and run back.  Continue this until all reps are complete for all 5 exercises.  We did switch to 5 LBCs at other end of parking lot about halfway through this exercise routine.  Way to push this out men, and finish strong.

Next exercise called also required you to keep your partner.  We would do 11’s with your partner in the same area.  Exercises called were Goblet Squats w/ block and Booyah Merkins.   P1 on one side of parking lot, with P2  on the other.  Start with 1 Goblet Squat w/ block, then run to middle and 10 Booyah Merkins with partner.  Run back to side, 2 Goblet Squats, meet in middle for 9 Booyah Merkins.  Continue this until numbers are flipped and end with 10 Goblet Squats and 1 Booyah Merkin.  Not going to lie, this one sucked bad.  The Booyah Merkins right after the blocks had the upper body smoked.  There was some excessive mumble chatter on the correct counting of Booyah Merkins.  Just for the record, per F3 App, one rep of Booyah Merkins is when partners perform merkin in unison, and on move up reach out to tap right hands. Repeat merkin in unison, on move up reach out to tap  left hand completes 1 rep.

Next we still had time to do some Triple Nickel.  No partner needed for this routine.  Same parking lot, we would do 5 Mountain Climbers at top, run to other end to do 5 Burpees, then run back to top of parking lot.  Repeat this 5 times.  Once complete, head back to flag. Time!

Prayer Request

 

Honor to lead today men.  Appreciate the push.  Even though some of you say I talk excessively, I’m not one who usually has a lot to say when the workout is over.   This is an area I need to work on.  I only know one way, and that is to give you men your monies worth and push you to the max.  Appreciate everyone of you, and all that F3 has done for me.  SYITG

Sister Act

It’s Technically Not Cheating

A few weeks ago during some mumble chatter I commented that it would be two weeks before I could Post here again and the date 1-15-19 was mentioned as the next time I could post at BULLDOG.   A certain Pax who will remain nameless, but his initials are Rudolph, says “Oh you’re going to Q then?”   Long story short –  YHC had my VQ today along with 6 Hims who met in the gloom for BULLDOG.

As we started I pulled out the Weinke along with the F3 Workout Deck and announced that since this was my VQ I cheated… we were using the workout deck.

Warm Up:

SSH X 20 IC

Imperial Walkers X 14 ( Apparently in my zeal to get to The Thang YHC stopped counting early)

Moroccan Night Clubs X 15 IC

Thang:

Used the workout deck: Each Pax draws a card, High Card Wins.  Winner calls the workout and Count.  Explained how ties were broken.  Aces were automatic:  Do what the card says for the reps the card says, which by the way is 100.   At this point it gets a little hazy. Cant remember the count or all the exercises that were called, but mumble chatter at one point had us somewhere in the range of at least 325 total SSH, 300 Arm Circles, and a couple hundred calf raises… There were others; Squats, Merkins, LBCs, Big Boy Sit Ups, and courtesy of Sister Act – BURPIES!  There was more but I really cant remember all of them.  Everyone put in good work and hopefully got something out of it.

COT:

Announcements: Discussed Q source locations and times (Sundays following Coconut Horse / Crossroads)

Broke took us out in Prayer.

 

 

 

 

is that a football?

13 Pax pushed the rock and this cool evening.  QIC was tossing a football and got some of the PAX excited.  17:30 hits, time to roll.

SSH 41 in cadence, merkins, MNC, Squats…. Mosey around parking lot past turd shack.  plank for six.  Whilst we here lets do some synchronized planking on the QIC.

Next we do a modified individual DORA.  Step back lunge, Mike Tysons, Freddy Mercury run to other end of parking lot and repeat 5x.

As you finish run laps around the large island in the middle of the parking lot.  Plank.  Synchronized plank (something about a Freight moon) into some merkins in cadence, I believe we did whilst complaining.

Next is Circle up for Global warming by the odd ones and bear crawl the evens around the circle.  Lots of confusion here.  Mostly due to the QIC not being very clear and some of the pack do not know odd or even number.  Mary.  Finish with a gentle mosey to the flag.  The football was not used.  Sorry SA.

Coupons N JumpRopes

It had been a few weeks since YHC got another turn at leading the Q at a Folsom boot camp. I had looked back through some old weinkes and tried to put together something that’s a bit different than we’ve seen in a while. I added some stuff I witnessed out at Cape Fear. So, let’s just see how it works out.

a great crowd was on time. Even Sparky, who I was counting on for coupons arrived only a minute late. It’s 5:30, so let’s do it.

Warmorama

SSH, Toy Soldiers, Merkins, Low Slow Squats all x10 IC  Montross comes rolling in hot, so Moroccan NightClubs TIL he joins the party.

pledge

grab a coupon and head to the tennis courts

Thang

11’s by way of Sprints across 2 courts using 8 Count body builders on one end and on the other, broad jump over your block, turn, grab your block for squat thrusts. After a couple rounds, the mumblechatter picked up. Definitely easier on paper, except for Buckeye, he was in beast mode. Now, partner up with a jump rope and coupon. Partner 1 jump rope AMRAP while partner 2 performs 50LBCs, flapjack, next jump ropes and 50 SSH, then ropes and 25 Block curls, ropes and 25 Tricep extensions, ropes and 25 squat thrusts. With a couple minutes left, line up for a nice Indian run a few laps around the tennis court. Rockabilly turned on the gas at that point. That dude is getting it done! Grab your block and return to start. 22 for the vets rounded up our time.
