3 years, why not 103 burpees?

Time flies when you’re having fun.  3 weeks back into F3 since we opened up, I thought that since we missed the 3 year Painlab get-up in April, let’s cook-up a beat down that would be a testament to what Painlab is about.  This workout was focused on muscles, core, and stay-in-place cardio.  Linus and VooDoo were warming up when I arrived, I set up shop, and was allowed to do the warm-up after everyone rolled in.  Good thing to warm-up Painlab is to stretch all parts of the body.  The following does that:

Warm-up (in cadence)

15 SSH

10 Squat

10 MNC

10 IWalkers’

10 Merkins

20 LBC

Only 2 campers today, the other 8 come with me to visit Frank at the circle.  Quick disclaimer about F3, why Painlab started and I encouraged them to challenge themselves today.  Keep in mind, it’s probably 7:10 at this point?  HIPAA came out despite his injury and was the shot-caller (great work!).  Today’s workout:

15 Swings – 10 Burpees
15 WWII sit-ups – 8 Burpees
12 Overhead press – 6 Burpees
20 Flutter Kicks – 4 Burpees
12 Front Raises – 2 Burpees  (10 count)
20 Calf Raises – 9 Burpees
15 Merkins – 7 Burpees
30 LBC – 5 Burpees
10 ea. Lunges – 3 Burpees
12 Wide Grip Merkins – 1 Burpees (10 count)
10 ea. Backwards Lunges – 2 Burpees
10 Diamond Merkins – 4 Burpees
60 sec. People’s Chair – 6 Burpees
15 CDD – 8 Burpees
10 ea. Skull Crushers – 10 Burpees
15 Squats – 8 Burpees (10 count)
15 Dips – 6 Burpees
10 ea. Rows – 4 Burpees
20 American Hammers – 2 Burpees

That put us at 103 Burpees.  But, it was only 7:30.  Well done!!  Doing the Burpees after a 60 second people’s chair was a new experience.  Highly recommend it.  Just then Hushpuppy and Linus show up from their run.  What timing :/

So what to do the rest of the time?  I asked each person to name their favorite exercise, and that we’d do it.

Clavin – Burpees – we did 10 (Screwed up my 103 number)

Sledge o Matic – MNC – we did 50 in cadence (nice)

Les Nessman – LBC – did a lot

VooDoo – CDD’s (I think, having trouble remembering)

Pedal – Freddy Mercury’s (of course)

Herme – Merkins (I think…)

Double-stuff – maybe he was CDD’s, I was pretty tired at this point.  Maybe burpees.  Blargh

Tube – cannot remember…

Hunch-Back – Bobby Hurley’s .  I don’t think I completed all these.  Felt bad but was busy yapping with HIPAA.

HIPAA – Burpees again?  I think he called 5 or so.

Rudolph – due to popular opinion, I called body-destroyers.

Still a great amount of time left, it flies when you’re having fun?  Double-stuff said he wanted to focus on core work, so I obliged. We went around a bit with various core exercises.  When about 8 minutes were left, I omaha’d to some yoga to cool everyone out.  I also enjoyed having White Zombie on the playlist while holding warrior pose 2.  TIME.

ANNOUNCEMENTS – keeping our eyes peeled for Ville to Ville guys today. Also the Farmers Market will have a mask give away tomorrow, 1 mask per car.  Most likely with HIPAA making it back out, and having his injury, the Matrix is on hiatus.

Prayers – Les Nessman family, our community, our nation in light of recent events, HIPAA gut.

MOLESKIN – A fun but tough workout.  I want the guys to have a sense of pride in what they accomplished.  I asked if they could have done 103 burpees and the other exercises in roughly 20-25 minutes a year ago.  The answer is they are getting better every day.  Be a HIM, push yourself when you can.

See you at Painlab 4th anniversary.  Always a pleasure.

Folsom Pushes The Rock During GasHouse’s Ville-to-Ville

During my pre-workout ruck around Folsom, YHC finalized the workout and contemplated the PAX that would show this AM given the inaugural running of the GasHouse Ville-to-Ville.

0625 arrives and only 2 have shown.  Another rolls in shortly there after.

0630, time to hit it.  No FNGs.  As YHC begins the warmup, a whole bunch of vehicles start to roll in.

Warm-Up:

20 Arm Circles.
Leg Stretches
20 SSH IC
10 IW IC

At the end of warm-up, we are up to a total of 7.


The Main Event:

YHC leads us of towards the softball fields parking lot.  Not being a Folsom regular, YHC did not recognize one of the 6 gather around was a FNG.  Luckily Stogie kept YHC on track.  Upon arrival at said parking lot, YHC verified the identities of all and yes we do have a FNG.  So, a more detailed explanation of F3 was given.  Now back to the show….

Escalating 4 Corners….

Corner 1
10 Merkins

Corner 2
10 Merkins
20 American Hammers

Corner 3
10 Merkins
20 American Hammers
30 Plank Jacks

Corner 4
10 Merkins
20 American Hammers
30 Plank Jacks
40 Flutters

It was so much fun, lets do it again.

(About corner 2 of the first round, Sparky rolls in. (pretty much on-time for him).  And Bo arrives near the end of round 2.  Making the new (and final) total 9.)

Now its time to head to the flag at the entrance to the park, with a couple of notes…
Increasing burpees at each speed bump/road hump (1 at the first, 2 at second…)
20 Squats at any light pole.

We knocked out the Pledge and then meandered across the street to the parking lot.
20 Calf Raises
The explanation is easier in person…run to the corner, karaoke down the hill, nur back to the next corner, karaoke up the hill.

Repeat.

Meander back across street to the horse arena.

10 Derkins
20 Dips
30 Step-Ups (15 per side)
Run around concession stand.

Repeat.

After a Sparky 10 count, we meander out of the arena and mosey to the tennis courts for the final call.

Lazy Dora

P1 does 25 (or 50) of the exercise while  the P2 planks (High or Low)

50 CDDs
100 Squats
150 LBCs
200 Air Presses

There was just enough time to meander from the tennis courts to the parking lot.

Welcome to Chase, aka Achy Breaky

YHC took us out…


I am pleased that Folsom continues to grow!  Yet another FNG!  Having 8 post when many of Folsom’s regulars are off running between McAdenville and Cherryville is awesome.  Thanks to all for helping pick-up the six and for help to push me.

Thanks to Big Pappy for putting me on the Q schedule.

Until next time…

Watts Up Powering Down.
