Month: August 2022 (Page 2 of 12)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted.  I’m not proud of it.  I am thankful to Flintstone for asking out of the clear blue sky one day if I would like to pick up a Q at the Sandlot.  Thinking it would be good to have more motivation not to fartsack, todays Q was mine.  Thank you Flintstone.

EZ Rider, Watts Up, and Flintstone come in from an EC ruck.

Skipped the Pledge for the time being due to lack of a flag.

All regulars so no introduction or disclaimer necessary.

Started with some stretching because it is a good idea.

Mosey over to the old Maytag store for some walls of Jerecho.

The building is a square with a parking lot that completely encircles it.

On three of the walls all exercises x 7 each. 7 laps is the goal but in reality until time expires.

Squats

Monkey Humpers

Merkins

Mountain Climbers

Penguins

LBC’s

Heels to Heaven

On the 4th wall 5 burpees

A couple finished, most got 6 laps.

JJ noticed that there was a large American Flag on the front of the gas station across the street.  Good spot JJ.

Mosey Back to Pelicans right on time.

Crowd growing as time nears, the ultimate EHer has a FNG showing this morning.  0700, pledge.  Across the street and circle up for warm up.

State the mission of F3 and how we achieve that mission.   Disclaimer for FNG.  SSH, IW, arm circles, and gravel pickers all in cadence.  Also do some stretching.

Bunker goes with Breaker Breaker, bootcamp with me.

Mosey up the hill past the middle school, cross central ave.  Get to the hill at Oak St.  Looking for the six, FNG and Sargento changed course and headed back to the Bunker.

Rest of did a triple nickel up the hill.  Hand release merkins at the bottom, toe touch SSH at the top.  Hill steep at the end, good way to get started.  Mosey to tennis courts and Davis park for bear crawl suicides.  Bear crawl to sideline of each court.  First line gets five big boy sit ups.  Run back to start.  Bear crawl to next line, increase big boys by 5 each line.  Last line was 35 big boys.

Mosey back to the wall at First Baptist.  Either jump to the top 10 reps, or five step ups each leg.  Ten derkins and ten dips.  Rinse and repeat with 15 and then 20 derkins and dips.

Mosey to turd shack for some suspension merkins.  Plank with feet on wall, 12 to 18 inches off ground.  Hold the plank and finish with five merkins.  Three rounds.  Head to the Yank and meet back up with Bunker boys.  Time.

YHC had a word on placing limits on ourselves.  Played a short clip of song performed by Kodi Lee.  Kodi won America’s Got Talent a few years back singing and playing piano.  Kodi is blind and autistic.  Kodi also gives no attention to any reason why he can’t be a musical artist.  YHC states that often we don’t accomplish a task or improve our lives due to limits we place on ourselves.  We have to be willing to extend ourselves to achieve growth.

Sign up for Iron Pax, GrowRuck, or something that will challenge you.

Warmup of Don Quixotes

Mosey to the center of the baseball fields at Martha’s House for some Dora 1,2,3. Partner 1 did the exercise and Partner 2 would bear crawl to the flag pole and back. The exercises were 50 Merkins, 100 Jump Squats and 150 LBCs.

Once we finished that we headed down to the lower end of the parking lot for the Sargento classic, The Figure 8. In the shape of a figure 8, the pax did 15 reps of the following exercises: Dips, Bobby Hurleys, Merkins, Flutterkicks, Monkey Humpers, WWII situps, Dying Cockroaches, Lunges, Side Straddle Hops, Squats, etc, etc, etc. We did 5 round of the Figure 8 with those exercises and more. It was awesome.

The PAX enjoyed getting their sweat on and the mumblechatter was excellent today.

Mosey back to the start just in the nick of time. Aye!
