Category: Backblast (Page 288 of 904)

To change things up, I asked Roscoe to bearcrawl 20 feet before any runners can start running.
Because of his act of special trust and confidence in the Q, I hereby deem my backblast Pub Crawl.

Pledge.

Then we ran to Panera Bread down towards Franklin Blvd and back. Some fast. Some slow. Most somewhere in between. Some ran EC to the pub and back. Some ran over 5 miles. Some didn’t. All got better.

YHC took us out.
Again, big shout out to Roscoe. BB could not have happened without you today!

YHC was originally scheduled to Q on Thursday, but had a meeting come up.  Wirenut graciously let me take his on Tuesday, thank you Wirenut!

Start with the mission of F3, to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men, for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Time hits with four pax.  Not as hot as was forecasted, but still plenty hot.  90 is better than 100.  SSH IW gravel pickers and some stretching, then Blart decides to join for five total.  Whenever you can get there is fine.

Mosey to upper side of parking lot.  Stop before soccer fields, move to one side of parking lot.  Time for accelerators.  25 hand release merkins.  Run to other side of lot.  25 hand release plus 25 smurf jacks.  Run to other side of lot.  25 of first two plus 25 big boys.  Run to other side and add 25 flying squirrels.  Think i hear some profanities being spewed at this point.  Run to other side to start coming down.  Back to big boys, smurf jacks and hand release.  Run back and drop the big boys.  Other side for one more round of hand release to make 175 of those.  That’s enough.

Few minutes remain, run to hill on other side for triple nickel.  Squats at bottom, jump squats at top.

Mosey back to flag for pledge.

Announcements: 2nd F lunch, F3 dads 6/18, pt test and trash pick up 6/25, tubing 7/30

Prayers: praise for Slaw M, purple haze M and sis in law, Turtleman, Huck, pax traveling

Announcements

Nameorama

Thank you for the opportunity to lead.  Stay hydrated.   SYITG

There was some confusion over who had the Q, but Tesla graciously stepped aside and let me get it.  There were some runners that came I (Quiche, Buckeye and Sargent), but only the big cheese and supreme potentate of F3 Gastonia had the testicular fortitude to stay.

Flagpole for Pledge

Principles of F3:

1. Are free of charge
2. Are open to all men
3. Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
4. Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion
5. End with a Circle of Trust

Mission of F3:  Our three Fs stand for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith and our mission is to Plant, Serve and Grow men’s small workout groups with the intent of invigorating male leadership throughout the community.

Warmup:  SSHx15 IC, Gravel Pickers x10IC, ROL/LOR, Moroccan Night Clubs x15IC, Arm circles

Thang:

Move to the track where I set up cones for the CrossFit Metcon workout.  At the four cones, do the following.

10 merkins, walk to next cone, 20, next cone, 30, 40.  Run a lap.  Repeat, but with squats and then sit-ups or leg lifts.

After this, we go down to 10, 20, 30.  Then 10, 20.  There was a lot of work done and some chastising about form and then some biting back.  I love the conflict because we grow.  When someone calls me out, I think about that on how I can be better.  Maybe I am not as good as I can be, but we are better than we were.

One minute left so we line up for some bear crawl slalom in honor of T. McBadass.

Announcements: 6/18 dads at Folsom, Regular Folsom is cancelled so go to Old School at 7, Twisted Goat today at 12 for lunch, 6/25 fitness test (proctors needed) and trash pickup after, 7/4 sandlot being changed by Flintstone so stay tuned, 7/30 tubing, regional convergence coming up.

Spiderman is slinging his web somewhere in Europe, so I crabbed the Q this time. I was surprised to see some new faces here at the Bulldog. Uhaul, Rubar and Watts Up are warming up with some BURPEES while they wait for me.  Then I see Oompa loompa just coming off the track after doing 3 miles. EC baby!

I start with some warm ups for 5 minutes and tune in to some Van Halen to get this party started. I’ll bet Whoopee doesn’t like them either?

Enjoyed the Q gentlemen.

It warm and humid morning at for YHC’s first Q at the Down-Lo.  The perfect chance to get better.

After a quick warm up, we made our way to the park entrance.  We stopped at each step to do calve raisers.  After we felt the pain there, went over to the Down-Lo step station for dips and step ups.

We completed 3 sets then took the quick mosey over to the walking track.

We split the walking track into 4 quadrants.  One pax in each quandrant.

1. Burpees
2. Big Boys
3. American Hammers
4. LBC’s

We did AMRAP at each station as a  one PAX member ran to the quadrant released that PAX member to go to the next station. Round and round we went until we finished 3 sets.

We then switched exercises.

1. Burpees
2. Merkins
3. CDDs
4. Mountain Climbers

We did the same method, and went round and round until we completed the 3 sets. On the last set we picked up each PAX member and made our way back to the Steps station for more dips and steps ups. We finally made a quick mosey back to the flag with calve raisers and each step we cap across.

Prayer Request

• Turtleman
• Huckleberry
• Stogie’s Friend
• The youth

6 Him’s got into the heat of Midoriyama and put in a little work trying to get better than the day before.

After a basic warm up with we honor Michael J. Fox’s birthday with a burpee and 21 big boys at each light post from the flag to the  soccer field. Once at the soccer field, we lunged walked and did imperial walkers the length of the field to honor Natalie Portman birthday.

Once at the end of the field at at the hill, we did LBC’s and hills for a little while.  Once we were done with that we lunged walked and did imperial walkers back to the other end of the field. Since their were bleachers there we did some steps up then went back to the light post.

It was also Johnny Depp’s birthday. So one the way back to the flag we took a zig zag motion doing burpees and merkins until we made it back to the flag.

Prayer Request

• Turtleman
• Huckleberry
• Kids out of school
• Pax with kids on the way

1 John 3:1 – “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”

11 men stepped out of their air conditioned homes into the soupy stank of Monday. The forecast has called for what are supposed to be the hottest temps of the year so far. The weatherman was right. HOT, even at 5:30. This is what happened…

Engage mumblechatter! Circle up for a not-so disclaimer, no FNGs. Warmup of Don Q’s and the patented Left Over Right, done per the patent requirements. Get some. Mosey to the luxury sedan where the oversized weinke awaited. Once in hand, the PAX continued moseying to the front of the school.

The Thang – The 6/13/2022

In each round do 6 reps of everything and take a lap around the parking lot, then 13 reps and a lap, 20 reps and a lap, then 22 reps and a lap, planking for the 6 at the end.

Round 1

We made it through everything except for the last set of 22 reps but we almost made it. Lots of complaining, whining and gererally regular convo. What better way to start the week.

Moleskin: YHC doesn’t like to recycle a weinke if at all possible. The day before, though, new ideas just weren’t coming through until the brilliant green of the empty box of Mountain Dew box caught my eye. Also, the day before, good ole T Square posted about his trip to the Dew Depot and a Dew Flight. Naturally a box of exercises was in order and we did the Dew!
