Folsom with Dark Helmet

July 5, 2023 / / 0 Comments

Per the below from Dark Helmet:

“So, I can’t remember everything that we did, but here’s a general idea:

We made a couple of trips around the lakes with several stops along the way. We ran up the road, past the SplashPad:
– Rock station: 15 curls in cadence, 15 overhead press in cadence, 15 bent-over rows
– Gazebo station: 15 dips, 15 Derkins, 15 step-ups each leg
– Path Station: 15 squats
– Bottom of the Hill Station: 15 Imperial Walkers
We made the loop twice.

Then we went and did 7’s on the hill: Burpees at the top and Big Boy Situps at the bottom

Then we headed to the coupons and got a partner. One partner ran while one partner did as many Tower of Powers with the coupon as he could before his partner got back. Finished off that station with a few flutters with a block press.

Then we headed back to COT and did a couple minutes of Mary

“And all Sargento did was walk around carrying a weight. He said it’s doctor’s orders.””

Folsom 01/04

January 4, 2022 / / 0 Comments

13 men joined YHC for a cold Tuesday morning at Folsom.   We even had an FNG  – good job Ball Joint and Gear Wrench.   The conversation, as always, was good before we got started.   It must have been a little too good because Sarlaac had to tell me it was 05:30.   Time to clock in.

Brief warmup and then head to the tennis court.   It was during this trip Ball Joint informed me we had a new guy.   That’s what happens when you rarely post.   He was chatting with Gear Wrench, and I assumed he wasn’t new.    Q fail.   (Insert lesson about the importance of a disclaimer here).

The thang consisted of People’s choice AMRAP, Dora and some Mary.

COT
Announcement: Ball Joint’s festival of celebration will be this Saturday.   This will be a monumental event, and if you’re reading this, you need to be there.
Prayer requests: Big Pappy and his family, Sister Act and his family, Sparky’s 2.1’s coach, Gumby, Montross, Ball Joint’s friend.

BOM
Sarlaac closed us in prayer.

We did some thangs

November 2, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Mr. Ozark put out a request for someone to take his Q.  Bedpan and YHC answered at about the same time, so we decided to Co-Q.   YHC attacked the shoulders, Bedpan decided to wreck the legs.

If you weren’t there, we hate you missed it.

It was fun and horrible.

Kettlebell not needed

August 31, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Today was the first time I’ve had the Q, or even attended The Bulldog.  As everyone was getting out of their vehicles, they all brought their kettlebell.  Sorry to disappoint you guys, but those won’t be needed today.   As 05:30 hit, it was time to clock in.

Warmup: Toy Soldiers and arm circles

The Thang

We did work.  You know, Grown Man work.   It was sweaty and some even complained.  In true F3 fashion, they pushed through and left better than before they showed up.  This is a great AO and I encourage you all to post here.

Announcements: JJ5K, Christmastown 5k, Combined Labor Day workout.

Prayer requests:  The people in Afghanistan and our people there.   Barrel Racer, Westside’s dad, students and teachers and each other.

Thank you for the hospitality, men.

Monthly 5k

June 10, 2021 / / 0 Comments

We have decided that, as a region, we are going to initiate a monthly 5k.  There will be no medals (sorry Sister Act) and there will be no official times.  You may be asking what’s the point.  That’s a good question.  It has been thought that it would be good to combine two things our region is really good at doing.  Running and donating money.  That’s the purpose of this – to raise money.  All the money raised through the run in December will be donated to a worthy cause.  The cause has not been decided, and feel free to offer your suggestions.   The runs will alternate between our normally scheduled running locations.  Each race will be named after a different PAX. You don’t actually have to pay to join, but if you’re able, it will definitely be appreciated.  If you feel so led you can donate at any time.  Feel free to give your money to myself or Broke.

Ok Ok – I will personally buy the PAX that’s wins the most events a medal.  We will also think of other prizes and such along the way.  Consider this like a skillet, but a little different.

That being said, our first race will be the Jacked Up Leg 5k.  The event will be help at Crossroads on Sunday, June 27th at the normal starting time.

I’m sure some of you may be thinking this is a dumb idea, and you may be right.   Sometimes you just throw ideas at a wall and see what sticks.  The main goal is raising money, but hopefully we can have some fun also.

Hope you’re all doing well and SYITG.

Dang – it’s hot.

May 20, 2021 / / 0 Comments

So… it was HOT.  It wasn’t dead off the summer but, being my first time at Midoriyama this year, it was hot.  As the PAX gathered in there some was some chatter.  As the clock struck 17:30 (as least on my watch and not Mayor’s swatch watch) we clocked in.

Disclaimer- I’m not a professional and I’m definitely an idiot.  I have some suggestions – take them or leave them.

Warmup: Toy Soldiers X 15IC and some front and back arm circles.

Let’s mosey to the… next parking lot.  Next exercise was the deconstructed burpees, picked in honor of Slaw becoming site Q.  YHC learned this exercise from him.  So, I thought I’d have him give the group a demo only to find out Slaw doesn’t remember how to do deconstructed burpees.  After a brief explanation we were off.  Once completed we took the short route to the turd shack to find a sign written for the PAX that can’t remember what you told them 49 seconds ago.  The exercises written were: 10 V-Ups, 20 lunges, 30 squats, 40 American hammers, 50 merkins, 60 hillbilly, 70 overhead claps, 80 Freddy Mercury, 90 flutter kicks and 100 Moroccan nightclubs.

YHC then had another sign.  Partner up for Dora 1,2,3,4,5.  We are doing the lazy (go figure, right) version.
100 monkey humpers.  P1 humps, P2 holds low hump.  Switch
200 Carolina Dry Docks. P1 docks, P2 planks. Switch
300 Mountain Climbers. P1 climbs, P2 holds plank again. Switch
400 calf raises. P1 raises, P2 stays in raised position. Switch.
500 LBCs. P1 crunches, P2 holds the crunch. Switch.

Pledge, 22 for the vets, 5-6 minutes of Mary and time was up.

COT
Announcements: Ruck this Saturday. Upcoming races.
Prayer requests: Turtleman, Tater Hole, Sister Act.

BOM (I have not posted in so long I didn’t know we were doing the BOM again. Awesome.). Broke closed us in prayer.
