Lazy Q

September 2, 2017 / / 0 Comments

YHC sat down last night and attempted to plan a workout….that didn’t happen….woke up this morning and drove to Folsom knowing one thing …we would mosey….below is the best YHC can recall..

 

Warm-up:

Squats 25 single count- wait Roadie coming in hot….Moroccan Nightclubs….a lot until he starting walking towards us then……

The Thang:

LET”s MOSEY! We moseyed up to the Flag at the entrance of the park.

The Pledge was said

Throughout the beat down YHC would stop the PAX circle up and while waiting on the 6 we would do various Core exercises:

V ups, Oblique V ups right and left, LBC’s, American Hammers, Wide leg sit ups, Burpees, Merkins (for Leppard), Pretzel Crunches right and left, Flutter Kicks. These are what YHC can remember (I’m old).

Over all we moseyed 3.1 miles (at least) ….Roadie tell me you can’t do something again!!!!

We finished up with more core

Freddie Mercury’s, LBC’s, Flutter Kicks, Plank Jacks, BURPEES!, and Madden took us out with 50 squats!

YHC is sorry if I forgot something!

MoleSkin:

Job well done by all PAX today Pizza Man, Tyson and Whoopee totaled over 8 miles with the EC run to and from the AO. Madden keep pushing little man! You make ToolTime really proud! (Love that boy Sparky!)  Roadie and Huck well done I know you both used everything you had this one was for y both of you! Flush thanks for grabbing the six….Tyson way to push you’re a beast!! Pizza man thank you for always pushing me….Freight thanks for the Kiss!! (show to know folks) Gumby and Sister Act way to push guys you never give up! Leppard thanks for always leading by example and for your words of wisdom…Slaw you made today very difficult for YHC with the beat down from Thursday THANK YOU for making me stronger!

 

COT

YHC spoke about not listening to the voice in your head that says “you can’t” YHC has struggled this year with listening to it and thanks to F3 brothers has been able to get out of that mentality. We need to listen to the voice of our Heavenly Father!  To see ourselves though His eyes, we were created in His image and made to be kings of the earth!  Men we are warriors!

Prayers

Houston, Marriage (friend of Sparky), Roadies  M’s grandmother  for healing from sickness, Glenn Jackson 9yr old fighting complications from a bone marrow transplant,  brothers I know I’m forgetting some….but know that our Father is not!

SpeedForNeed Showdown

August 11, 2017 / / 0 Comments

 

 

JRR Tolkien was kind enough to drive 200 miles from Mongol land and share 4 SpeedForNeed; yes I said 4 racing chairs, with the Gashouse Pax. YHC will try to recount and remember as much as possible….disclaimer…YHC does not write epic  BB like Tolkien so this will be short and sweet! Here it goes

 

Warm-up:

Disclaimer given

Grab the chairs and mosey to the parking deck then circle up

SSH – 10,000 IC

Imperial walkers – 20,000 IC

Merkins- 100,000 Fighting Mongol style

Then some crazy resistance band Hello Dollies, Rosalita’s and flutters….. 400,000 in total (YHC anniversary is now ruined)

The Thang:

Start off sprinting up and down the parking deck with the 4 chairs Pax switching out on chairs we did this about 100 times….the Fighting Mongol is brutal!!!

After we ran that 400 miles we circled up for some Mongol Merkin action!

Reg – 400IC

Wide- 600 IC

Diamond- 800 IC

Staggered right and left – 1,000 IC

Next we ran flat sprints with chairs and Pax riding ….we did about 400 sprints and then did Burpees after each race , YHC believes it totaled about 700 Burpees!

As if this wasn’t enough we ran laps with chairs … 1Pax riding ….switch out …next Pax push….eveone did this about 10,000 times!!! ….while you were chair less the Fighting Mongol himself lead a series of awful exercises…some with that crazy band thing! (YHC suffered oxygen deprivation at this point…blacked out and has no idea what we actually did)….

Next mosey back to the Centennial Pavilion where we circled up for some Mary

Resistance band

Hello Dollies – both then right then left – 10,000 IC

Rosalita’s – both then right then left – 10,000 IC

Flutters- 10,000 IC

Thank you to our Brother JRR Tolkien for making the second trip out across the river to sare a SpeedForNeed themed workout. And thank you to him for sharing his vision and allowing us the opportunity to be the difference on November 25th at the https://www.mcadenville-christmastown.com/ct5-K.htm ! YHC has only had the pleasure of know him for a short time however it’s easy to tell that his heart is ON FIRE for the ones that cannot run these races themselves! Truly an honor for the Gashouse PAX to be a part of this. We don’t need to be “experts” we just need to care enough to take action and fill the need men! JRR Tolkien is showing us exactly how this is done and YHC thanks him for this!

Great work by all the PAX out there today!  It’s been far too long since YHC has posted at Folsom. YHC talked about courage and the fact that in order to have courage you must have fear! What are you doing to face your fears? How are you stepping up and out with courage to slay them. We are called to be men of courage and  we who trust and believe in Jesus are all warriors for His great Army. There is an unseen world men, and like it or not it is in war for the hearts and souls of the human race! What will you do today to face a fear, step up and lead your home, workplace, community, today!

Wifferdill

June 29, 2017 / / 0 Comments

This is called the wifferdill workout and BB because there was no real plan for this Thursday YHC just wanted to Q! so YHC wifferdilling it!

 

Warm-up:

None! It’s warm enough

Pledge

The Thang:

Started with a mosey around the Ball fields we would stop every once in a while and do while waiting on the 6.

Flutter Kicks

Squats

Al Gores

We continued our mosey around the lake loop and ended up at my favorite place Hamburger Hill!!! We did flutter kicks while waiting on the 6 Recover…at that point YHC told the newer PAX the name of the hill and Slaw explained it was named this because your legs feel like hamburgers when you’re done sprinting it!

We then proceeded to sprint down and back YHC called for 2 x”s however Blart being the masochist that he is wanted a third shot at it! Who was YHC to deny him the suffering…..Oompa Loompa at this point was dealing with a kidney stone and yet he soldiered on and suffered well….WOJO all I have to say is whoa! You’re freaking fast up and down that hill brother! Def Leppard YHC thinks was suffering from oxygen deprivation because he kept wanting to show us the “little Leppard!”  Ash Pond Was dealing with a very knotted up Hammy so he dropped to his 6 and did flutters!!! You know skinny guys and abs! Sidecar was pushing himself the entire time and didn’t let up! You’re pushing that rock brother and getting better! And Pockets! So proud of you brother you pushed yourself tonight and have continued to since you’ve been out here!

After the hill sprint we moseyed back to the flag where we circled up and did some Ab work (you’re surprised right!)

25 V-up/Roll Ups

25 oblique V-Ups right then left

Then YHC looked over at Slaw and saw that twinkle in his ey he knew it was coming just for him

5 Burpees OYO

At this time YHC took the time to talk about suffering out in the gloom together….yes YHC is nuts….yes we all are….Yes YHC wants to push you and himself to the limits …but why? for one purpose to suffer together  because when we suffer together we form life long bonds that will not happen any other way! We suffered well today proud of all of you men! We are strengthening  ourselves so that we can be the men God has called us to be so that we will have the endurance to do the things that our families , brothers communities need us to do!
