Day: July 12, 2022

I was inspired by some work Pizza Man has been putting on Strava and thought it would be a good idea to try and implement some of those into an F3 workout.  This would be something that the bat flippers could really crush and others could just get some solid work in.  A lot of chatter and I mean a lot.  Awesome work by all.

The Work

Mosey to the railroad overpass for Wall Sits w/Marching, Overhead Presses, Punches and Donkey Kicks IC x 20.  Rinse and repeat x 3.  Someone suggested we do marches, air presses and punches at the same time so we tried it.  Mine weren’t pretty!

Mosey towards the B-Ball court and stop along the way for Rocky Balboa IC x 20.  Rinse and repeat x 3

Triple Nickle – Mike Tyson and Peter Parker in the parking lot next to the B-Ball court.

Mosey up the hill.

Break for a long-winded speech by YHC on Graditue and F3.

Mosey down the hill.

Circle up for Domino Merkins.

Head back to the start and stop for more Rocky Balboa’s.

Mosey through the open grass between the apartments and RR tracks, just because it was there, and I always wanted to utilize this area during a workout.

Stop at the RR overpass for more Wall Sits w/Marching, Overhead Presses, and Donkey Kicks IC x 20.  Rinse and repeat x 3.

Stop at the steps for a final round of Calf Raises.  After all, it’s a Dirt workout!  No dirty calves this time.

Time.

Dirt has left the county.  Hope to be back soon!

This was my last day to be the Site Q at the Labryrinth before moving to the north country (Denver, NC).  A special thanks to Mabeline for taking over for me.  I don’t think being a Site Q was on his radar when he arrived at the workout, but he stepped up and took it!  Show him some love by volunteering to lead a workout soon.

Thanks to all of the F3 PAX in Gashouse for welcoming me 4 yrs ago.   I never thought I could have fostered such great friendships just by working out with a bunch of like minded guys at 0530, but I did just that.  I apprciate each and every Gashouse PAX out there.

Keep pushing gentlemen!

Warm Up was the usual Seal Jacks, Hill Billy Walkers, merkins and stretching.

Mosey to the park entrance and pay the toll of 20 Big Boy Sit Ups to enter.

We did some crazy Suicide Dora combination that Sister Act did at Martha Rivers Park back in January 2022.  I got plenty of complaints about this routine so I knew it was a good one.  It went something like this…..

Suicide Mosey from the first parking island to the second one.  Do 10 merkins, 20 squats and 30 LBC’s, Mosey back to the start for 2 Burpees.  Rinse and repeat adding the distance of the next parking lot island each round until we get to the final island by the playground.

I believe we had a little time left over for some work under the picnic shelter.

Mosey back to the start.

Hope to see everyone again soon.

2 FNG’s decided to join the bunker fun after the warm up.  Welcome Skull Candy and Uhaul!  YHC wasn’t prepared for such a turnout, luckily Nutria had a coupon with him so off we went.  One exercise with a block against the wall, a creative method to get to the  end of the parking lot, and an excercise at this end, then back.   Rinse and repeat.   Block exercises included overhead presses. step ups, front extensions, tricep extensions, swings, and blockies.  Modes of transportation included bear crawl, block push while crab walking (always a crowd favorite,)  lunge walk, carioca, and mosey.  Exercises at the other end included imperial walkers, American hammers, SSH’s, pickle pushers, merkins and WW 1’s.  Stole Nutrias idea and passed the block a few times up and down the line while doing wall sits.  Circled up twice to do and exercise chosen by each PAX as they bear crawl around the group.  We almost got it all in.   Hustle to the Yank for COT.

Humbled and honored to lead, thank you for the opportunity.
