The Bulldog 300 Challenge

2019 is here along with some new personal goals of mine. One goal is to be stronger, in more ways than one. I’ve always admired the Spartan “300” challenges. For those that don’t know what it is this is the intense 300 Spartan workout used by the cast of the movie that can really deliver results. While I’ve always admired the workouts, I’ve never done one nor did I ever have the motivation to do so. If this last year of F3 has taught me anything, its that anything is possible. Plus, I have many PAX around me to help motivate me. I figured I would start the new year out right and incorporate a 300-workout routine into my Bulldog weinke. This would be a 300 rep Kettlebell workout sure to bring a little strength to everyone that came out. The idea is also to keep doing this challenge yourself once a week (try for more if you can) for at least 6 weeks. Now, I’m not saying we are all going to look like those dudes from the movie after 6 weeks but if we can get a 1/16 of a way there and see some positive gains/results, then that’s a goal we have accomplished. Let’s get it!

4 Bulldog Q’s

Enjoyed Q’ng Bulldog for the 4 Tuesdays in November. I kept my promise to the PAX in hopes to see the new AO grow, and boy did it! Here’s how #4 went down:

Kotter in our presence, welcome back Outhouse!!

The Thang:

 

PAINOPOLY – YHC’s favorite and easiest weinke in F3 history. Except this time i made a slight change. Instead of my usual Chance and Community Chest cards, YHC decided to break out the Beatdown deck of death.

PAX were horrible at rolling the dice. We combined for 85 Burpees and someone drew the Ace of Spades from the deck, 100 Flutter Kicks.

We literally left our Sandy V behind

Finally after consecutive weeks at Bulldog we finally have a morning with no rain! YHC was excited to get out from under the awning and be able to spread out a little and utilize the parking lot a little. That said i loaded up the M’s minivan with some coupons, some new and some old. Finally invested in some of those fancy cinder blocks, not sure why I haven’t done this before. Literally almost 160Lbs for like 6 bucks!

Word on the street was we were going to have 4 FNG’s. Well we didn’t have that; However, we did have 2 cotters come out and join us. Welcome back Moped and Hunk-A-Junk!!

Total PAX in attendance for week # 2 at Bulldog: 9!

Thang:

Circuits

Tire pull (This was the timer) – pull 4 times
Curls – cinder blocks
Suitcase deadlift & shrug – buckets
Renegade rows – dumbells
Arnold press – dumbells
Shadow boxing – dumbells
Chest press – cinder blocks
Crushers – slam ball
Skull crushers – kettlebell
Goblet squat – kettlebell
Blockees – cinderblock
Rinse and Repeat

It was during the 2nd round of circuits that the 60Lb. sandbag on top of the tire decided it had enough getting drug around and busted open. Needless to say the 60Lb. bag quickly became about 20Lbs. That means the PAX dropped roughly 40Lbs. of sand outta their V during this strenuous beat down. Congrats!

Pseudo Planche Merkins

Madoff took us out, thank you sir!

Thanks men for coming out. Always a pleasure. Appreciate the help kicking the extra sandy V to the curb after the workout. Didn’t want anyone else showing up to Bess, accidentally picking it up and carrying it with them.

Flying Bells

11/13/2018 – Official launch of Gastonia’s newest AO – BULLDOG

Getting a new AO up and running took some energy, commitment and nerd data. Good thing I renewed my AWS subscription so I could increase the size of my data lakes to ensure I was utilizing Amazon Kinesis effectively. With the help of Amazon, I was able to hone in on the perfect AO spot where we could blast Heavy Metal music loud enough that Whoopee could be awoken with ease. I somehow imagine Whoopee acting like the Dad in the Twisted Sister video.

Any who, Day 1 of Bulldog is now official and was welcomed by 7 PAX. A very diverse crowd to come support the inaugural, commemorative beatdown they should be able to remember.  Here’s what went down…

*This is where things took a dangerous turn. YHC first lost grip of his Kettlebell and almost knocked out Clavin. Then Clavin lost grip on his dumbell and almost knocked out Madoff.  YHC quickly got things under control and applied tacky glue to our hands to ensure this would not happen again.

Prayer Requests. The one that YHC always remembers is Nikki Bailey. This is close to Madoff’s heart and is spoken of highly. Continued prayers for Nikki.

YHC took us out.

 

Men, Thank you for committing to a new and exciting workout location. You could be off at another Bootcamp or running on your own somewhere else but you chose to come support us and maybe make yourself a little stronger. I look forward to having all of you here each and every week. There is scientific proof that lifting a minimum 2 days per week cures soccer arms. Truly an honor leading you men. Until next time.

AYE!
