Here we are, Monday morning is upon us and YHC has somehow not found / made the time to develop a Weinke.  Well, some forethought went into it, but it was very rough.  Here goes.

Disclaimer / Pledge

Warm up – SSH x 25 IC, Merkins x 15 OYO, Imperial Walkers x 20 IC.

Mosey towards Gastone’s hill, but slow down for some lunge walks between telephone poles.  Mosey down to the doctor’s office.

Time for a quick AB BLAST!  Circle up.  Merkins first?  I think.  Follow that with:

American Hammer x 25 IC

25 Big Boys OYO

Flutter Kicks IC x 25?

Rinse and repeat!

Mosey to Gastone’s Hill!  Up we go with one burpee at each mailbox on the right.  Icing on the cake being 40x LBC’s OYO at the top.

Meander for a moment then mosey down to the street.  Meander towards the doctor’s office.  Zombie Walks between two light poles.

Mosey back to the doctor’s office parking lot for some 11’s.  Mike Tyson’s at the curb opposite the office.  Dips on the picnic tables.  GO.

Finish up and mosey back to Pelican’s.

Time!

Good work men.

Prayer requests:  Flintstone’s sister.  Breaker Breaker’s family, Eric Stoke’s family, father has COVID.

Namerama, we out.

Sandlot 10/12/20

Without much of a plan in mind before the workout started, YHC had wanted to do a lot of different exercises.  So, that’s what we did. We warmed up at Pelicans and then headed to the park.  Some ab work and lunges on the way down to the picnic shelter.  Still no set plan.   We did some exercises and ran a little.  Exercise then run.  Repeat.  Then each of the PAX led in their least favorite exercise at a quantity of their choosing.  Head back towards Pelicans for a little Mary with some exercises on the way.  Not much to say here except I believe I’m partial to fewer exercises, harder sets, more intensity.

Good work men!

Announcements, Namerama, COT, Prayer requests

Stinky Bird’s memory test: failed.

Sandlot 9/14/20

Rolling in close to time after a last minute, yet mandatory, pre-workout offload, Gastone and Watts Up were surprised to learn the Stinky Bird had a premeditated workout…..

Let’s get started.

-SSH x 25 IC

Let’s get a little distance in today.  MOSEY down to the road that was never built for some Big Boys.  After that, mosey down to Gastone’s hill.  20 Merkins OYO at the bottom.  Let the COUNTDOWN begin.  Run up the hill, 50 LBC’s OYO at the top.  Mosey back down…. and up again for 40 Imperial Walker Squats (count the squat) at the top.  Could somebody check on OUTHOUSE?  He left before the second ascent with some kind of back issue.

Mosey back towards Pelican’s to check on Outhouse.  I think two old ladies carried him to his truck, but he made it.

Let the countdown continue.  Mosey over to Planet Fitness for30 Hip Slappers OYO.  Bonus work – Assume the people’s chair for 30 shoulder presses IC.  Mosey over to planet fitness parking lot for 20 Burpees.  Can’t remember what came next…. either 20 dips IC at the wall OR 10 diamond merkins.  Both happened.  Finished with a couple minutes of Mary in the parking lot.

Memorial Day @ the SandLot

A slew of us posted at the Sandlot on Memorial day Monday, so off the cuff we went.  We did a little warm-up @ Pelican’s and off we mosied to the playground for a mini-Murph.  This was 25-50-75.  We broke it down to the common 5-10-15. All reps were done simultaneously by all attending F3 PAX.  Afterwards, a lap around the baseball fields returned us to the Picnic shelter parking area.   We decided on three exercises to repeat for some sets.  Big Boys….. are all I can remember (sorry Watts Up, this is why we are diligent.)  Do a set of three, head to the picnic shelter for some work, then run to the next island for the same set of work.  Return to the picnic shelter after each set.  We put in a little work for 45 minutes in the gloom then called it a day.

No Namerama, Yes COT

Happy Memorial day (a little late)!  A “mini-Murph” doesn’t even begin to show the amount of honor owed to Navy SEAL officer Michael P. Murphy, but a forever grateful thanks to all the men and women of our nation who fought and died for our wonderful country.

 

Sandlot reopened

Welcome back to the gloom!

I was awesome to be back with some of my F3  brothers!  On a side note, Covid-19 made me miss my 1-year anniversary with F3, I guess I’ll have to look forward to my 2-year anniversary!

Stinky Bird out.

First GOAT Q

Twas a gloomy and damp Thursday morning.  A handful of F3 men show for a GOAT style Stinky Q.  Weinke in hand, YHC arrived a few minutes before 5:30a.  Shoot the breeze for a few, then get started from the meeting spot.

Pledge, corona virus-esque disclaimer ( 6 feet apart, when coming back to a sweaty spot on the ground, try to return to your spot.).

Warmup – 30x SSH ic, 20x MoroccanNCs  ic, 10x Merkins ic, 30x Flutters ic

Mosey a lap and a half to the pavilion for some fun.

First round: 20x Hand Release Merkins OYO, 30x American Hammers ic, 20x DIPS ic, 10x Jane Fonda ic both sides.

RUN a lap!

Second Round: same thing except 25x HR Merkins then add 15 Derkins OYO at the end

RUN a lap!

Only planned for two rounds, BUUUUUUUT, make it 3!  We have time!

Third Round: All the same exercises, but back to 20x HR Merkins then add 15 Derkins OYO at the end.  Gotta say… breathing and counting during these final American Hammers was pretty tough.

Mosey up to the church with the flat parking lot.  Let’s get in some 11s.  Road side of parking lot, 1 crunch.  Church side, 10 burpees.  GO.

YHC Omaha’d to 7’s, but when asked to elaborate Virus helped me realize that I don’t know the difference between 7’s and  9’s…..  ha!

Finish up with 4-5 minutes remaining.  Head back to the meeting spot.  WITH some fun on the way!  After the traffic light, SPRINT to the next pole!  Walk to the next.  SPRINT to the next!  Walk to the next.  SPRINT one more then mosey the rest of the way back.

TIME!

Word for the day:  Proverbs 20:7 The righteous who walks in his integrity, blessed are his children after him.  Let this be encouragement to all of us who are leading a family as we strive for a lifestyle of discipline and faithfulness; our children will be blessed.  The best blessing we can give our children is the example and relationship of a Godly father and Godly instruction to equip them for this crazy world!

Prayer Requests, Announcements

Stinky Bird flies the coop!

Backblast complete!

YHC was a little unprepared, so off the cuff we go!

Normal warmup of SSH, merkins, LBCs.

Mosey a long distance to the wall in front of the bank next door for some Dips IC followed by 25 step ups each leg.

Climb over the tall wall into the bank parking lot for a little burpee / core / sprint work.  3 rounds or so.

I felt the need for a few pull ups, so mosey to Martha Rivers.  Stop in the parking lot for some Jane Fonda’s.  Clavin needed more work, so called an exercise IC.  Can’t remember name, something V’s.  On your back, feet at 6″ off ground.  Open legs to V position then close.  Repeat for joy.

Down the the playground for 3 Murph style sets -5 pull-ups, 10 merkins, 15 squats

Mosey towards the parking lot for a round of Rocky B’s on the curb.  Mike Tysons next, followed by Rocky B’s… I think.

Mosey to the picnic shelter for some Dips IC. then Big boys OYO.

Modified Dora in the parking lot beside the picnic shelter followed.  Partner up.  Merkins x 75, Crunches x 150, Squats x 200.  Partner 1 does exercise, partner 2 runs just past the poop shack and back.

Finish up then mosey back…… to the light pole where we do more Jane Fonda’s.  EZ said his hip muscles weren’t tired yet, so we had to work on that.

Mosey back, Dry Rub out front!

Oompa Loompa out running on his own, shows up to close out the workout with us.

Announcements – Convergence at Martha’s – March 21 @ 7:00a,  Shoot ’em up to follow

Prayer requests:  The Harper family and Stokes family.  EZ Rider.  JK2’s son’s friend whose family lost their house to a fire.  Praise for kids staying healthy through 180 weekend.
