9 all together at Midoriyama on Tuesday. Some regulars, some not. Good to see most. JK, mostly,  not really, kinda.

Warmup:

SSH x 25ic

I tried to get everyone to stay IC with me but Shortsale rebelled and just flat out refused. This turned into him blaming me for his knee and something about $5,000. Then his face got red, you know how angry he gets. You would’ve thought I asked him for directions or something! Maybe I should buy him an appropriately made biscuit to get him to relax?

Anyway we moseyed down to the new sidewalk going to the lake. Turns out it is not as steep but a little longer(the lake is now handicap accessible).

The Thang:

Triple nickel-5 burpees at the bottom and 5 sandy v’s at the top.

All went well. At some point Oompa announced he was struggling a bit because he had a colonoscopy that morning. WTH! After that there was some talk about that happening a lot in the Navy and how the Marines usually performed them. TMI!

Mosey back to the flag parking lot.

11’s-tiger squats on one side and hand release merkins on the other. However let’s step it up some. Broad jump across and hop back. It seems anytime I call jumps or hops people just quit on me! Today was no different. Most used every form of travel to get across that parking lot they could except what I called. This included prancing and rolling! At one point I thought the angry man was trying out for the N Korean army.

With a  little time left we did some dips, wall taps, merkins, LBFCs, oblique crunches, and flutters.

11 men total for this day’s Midoriyama workout. 1 tried on multiple occasions to take the Q but I’m pretty stubborn and kept on going.

Warmup:

? It’s 5:30 in the evening if you ain’t warmed up by now what the heck have you been doing all day? Def you can ignore that statement, we know.

Mosey to the soccer field and lay out some cones at 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 yds.

The Thang:

Red Barchetta (Kinda)(also this was named after a car). I borrowed this from some region. I think it was a part of their CSAUP or something.

Run 100 yds and do 100 SSH. Run back and do 100 more SSH.

Run 75 yds and do 75 mtn climbers. Run back and do 75 more.

Run 50 yds and do 50 LBC’s. Run back and do 50 more.

Run 25 yds and do 25 merkins. Run back and 25 more.

Run 10 yds(Broke and Seuss) and do 10 burpees. Run back and do 10 more.

Next we did some 1:4 ratio work. We did these three but split them up. We did 1-5 for each and then came back for 6-10.

Capitan America-1:4 burpee/lateral hop

Tiger King-1:4 squat/lunge

Capitan Thor-1:4 merkin/overhead press

Good Times!

Mosey back to the flag

Namerama

Prayer Request-SA and fam, several with sickness and loss, Slaw’s….well you know.

8 PAX posted at Midoriyama on Thursday.  It was cloudy all day but the sun made an appearance just in time! Being a gracious Q I took us to some shade upon request. It didn’t help much since the humidity reached 237%.

Warmup:

SSH x 20 ic

Let’s mosey

The Thang:

At the far soccer field we lined up at one goal line for what I call the SA. His birthday was this week so a little shout out to him. Now to be clear this isn’t one of my hero WOD’s but he’s alright. The SA was created from trash talk and during a time Nantan Cooper said F3 wasn’t allowed but those with a rebellious spirit still met to exercise and stayed 6 feet apart. SA only believes you need about 4-5 exercises so I created a WOD with just that.

The SA

10 Bonnie Blairs(count one leg only)

20 WWI

30 Merkins

40 Squats

NUR 100 yds, RUN back

Rinse and repeat for 35 minutes then do a round of Iron Hulk.

You can make the SA as hard as you want. You can push yourself or just slow down and work through it.  Yesterday I tried to hang with SA and my legs are paying for it today.

COT:

Pledge

Namerama

Announcements-Nothing new but a ton going on

Prayer Request-Double stuff’s dad and friend, SA and family, Slaw, Clavin. Praise report-YHC has lost a little weight and I’m no longer considered obese just over weight.

SA took us out

Moleskin:

What I like about SA is he is an exaggerated version of YHC. He doesn’t always let the words fly to just anybody like I do but he doesn’t mind letting them go. He doesn’t show emotion and doesn’t let smack talk affect him. As a matter of fact he is probably the only person I know that engages the smack talk as mush as I do. I just love to give and get it! So much fun! Anyway deep deep deep down he’s a pretty good guy and even though we don’t always like it we need the physical battflippers to push us. I do hope that one day he starts listening during Q-source instead of trolling on Strava.

12 was the number Thursday at Midoriyama. YHC had scraps of sticky notes stuck together of things thought of and jotted down during the week.  This usually means trouble. It’s best I forget these terrible things I think up before we get a chance to try them. Oh well let’s get it on!

Warmup:

Morroccan Nightclubs for what seemed like 10 minutes while we waited for Purplehaze to get his jazzercise gloves on. In hind site those gloves make sense given the “outfits” he wears to workout in.

Let’s mosey

The Thang:

I parked my truck with blocks at the far end of the park near the soccer fields. Everyone grabbed one and moseyed to the goal line on the field. There were cones placed at the 25, 50, and 25 yd line. Starting at the goal line do 20 thrusters, carry your block overhead to the 25, put it down, and run to the far end and back. When you get back do 15 thrusters and rinse and repeat, dropping by 5 thrusters, to the far goal line. Once at the far goal line start back at 20 and go back down the field. This sucked! Especially for Dr Seuss since he barely weighs more than the block. At one point I’m pretty sure the block was carrying him.

Next up we moseyed to the dog park hill for some triple nickel. 5 burpees at the bottom and 5 Freddy Mercury’s at the top. At this point a few bat flippers almost took off. This is when I surprised them with how we would go up the hill. Hop! Jump! Broad jump! I did not say skip even though that’s what some were doing. This sucked as bad as I thought it would! As I type this the morning after my legs are fairly angry with me.

Next we moseyed back to our blocks at the field for some ab work. On the goal line do 25 WWI situps and carry your block overhead to the 50. Do 50 LBC’s and carry your block to the other goal line and do 25 Flutters(count 1 leg). Do it again with the following exercises: 25 Freddy Mercury’s(count 1 leg), 50 Homer/Marge, 25 Dying Cockroach(count 1 leg) I always think of Bandit when I do these!

That about does it for time so we put up the blocks and headed back to the flag. Wait there wasn’t one!

COT:

Announcements-There’s to many, read another BB for all that

Pledge to no where

Prayer request- Double Stuf’s dad, Oompa’s coworker, SA and his family.

Broke took us out.

Naked Moleskin:

YHC talked briefly about how Christians are called to be different, not typical. The same goes for us as men of F3. We are called to not be typical. Typical in today’s society is why we are in the mess we are in.
