Tag: Mt. Hollywood (Page 6 of 13)

The gloom had a little chill in the air this morning, but that didn’t stop 6 HIMs from getting out of the fartsack to start the week off right. Due to the CSAUP this past weekend, YHC decided to stay away from leg work and focus on the upper body and core. It went like this….

Short disclaimer

Pledge

Warmup

Mosey to the front of the school for an escalator. Perform 5 reps of each exercise then run a lap around the lot. Plank for the six. Exercises were Dirty Hookups, American Hammers, IW Squats and Dips. Rinse and repeat with 10, 15 and 20 then back down with 15, 10 and 5.

Next up was a “Big Boy” Merkin Ladder. Line up on one side of the parking lot and perform 20 Merkins and 20 Big Boys then run across the lot for 19 of each, run back for 18….all the way to 1.

Everyone finished up right on time.

The workout this morning was simple and only utilized a couple of exercises, but it was still a pretty good beatdown. You don’t have to be the most creative person in F3 to Q a workout, just jump in and try it. Get on the Q schedule for an AO and start developing your leadership skills!

Thanks for the opportunity to lead and lets keep making an impact on the men in our community by growing F3 Gastonia.

I’m Broke

I decided to modify the EMOM workout to be a E2MOM (Every 2 minutes on the minute).

SSH and Imperial walkers for warm up then get to it.

5 burpees, 10 squats, 15 any core exercise + Run a lap around the parking lot.

I wanted to complete 20 rounds. I think we ended up with 16 or so. Took a minute break in the middle. The men pushed very hard and impressed with performance.

Great work out guys sorry for the delayed post.

So I had a small mix-up in the scheduling for the Q, so as the Site Q I had to jump in and run the show.  Sorry Gavel!!!

So we started the workout with:

SSH x 20

Hillbillies x 20

Took a mosey over to the First Baptist Church parking lot for some:

Dora 1-2-3

100- Merkins; 200 LBCs; 300 Squats

Short mosey to downtown Mt. Holly

20 x Wall squats

20 x Flutter Kicks

Mosey to East Central Ave.

Started at school crossing sign, run to each power pole and do 5 burpees until we got to the school crossing sign at the other end of the street.  Turned around and repeated the routine this time doing Merkins.  Repeat the routine one more time this time doing Big Boy Sit-ups.

Mosey back to the Middle School Parking lot, and had enough time left to do some Dips x20 and Derkins x20.

Pax: Shell Shock; Dr. Seuss; Shortsale; Doodles; Roundup; Gavel

Day after the Super Bowl we were feeling all the appetizers consumed but we pressed on. I thought about my second Q for about 3 weeks since my VQ and came up with the idea to stick together for most of the workout. At the Fighting Yank this past Saturday we talked about teams at Q Source and it fit perfectly. No FNG’s, I am not a professional so modify as needed I know I will. This is how it went.

Warmup: Toy Soldiers 15 IC, Overhead Press 15 IC, Imperial Walkers 15 IC

Pledge of allegiance

The Thang: 20 Seal Jacks IC, 20 Oblique Crunches each side IC, 20 Squats IC, 20 Goofballs IC, 20 Hand Release Merkins OYO. Run a lap around the parking lot

Rinse and repeat. Sets of 15, 10 & 5.

Plenty of time left so we worked our way back up to 20 reps.

Enough time left for some Mary: 10 burpees OYO, 20 American Hammers OYO, 30 Peter Parker’s OYO, 30 Flutters OYO, 10 Crunchy Frogs OYO, 10 Monkey Humpers OYO.

As 5:30 hit we had a great crowd already then 2 more rolled in making 17. We gave them 10 monkey humpers then moved on. I checked for any FNG’s and went straight to the warm up missing the disclaimer, blame it on my nervousness.

Warm Up: 25 SSH IC, 20 Overhead press IC, 15 Squats OYO

Pledge of allegiance then time to start.

The Thang: Plan was for 3 sets of 11’s at three different spots but we had to audible towards the end. We stayed for the first spot and took a lap around the parking lot. First 11 was Merkins at one end of the lot then LBC’s at the other. Nur to LBC’s then run back to merkins.

Mosey to First Presbyterian Church for our second spot and second set of 11’s. CDD’s at bottom of lot then run to top of the lot, sneaky little incline to WW1’s run back to CDD’s.

Mosey to Ida Rankin Elementary for our third spot and third set of 11’s. Due to time I called an audible to triple nickel. 5 Mike Tyson’s at one end of the lot then run to the other end for 5 American Hammers, Karaoke back to the start to continue.

Mosey back to flag with 3 minutes left.  Stretched a little and finished off with an F3 favorite 5 burpees. I did confess that I planned on burpees at each stop but quickly discarded those. That is time.

We had a great crowd and I definitely felt the support thank you men.

Announcements: Termite posted on slack about an opportunity to help a disabled vet move on Jan. 29th.

It was a great workout, and the first official Q and the new Mt. Holly Site Q.  I look forward to the new challenges ahead.  I did have someone ask me if I plan on running to future workouts carrying the site flag.  I think I probably do that whenever I can.

The conditions were great and a group of 11 PAX turned out to Mt. Hollywood for a beatdown and to welcome Freon as the new Site Q. Thanks to this HIM for stepping up and taking a leadership role in the Gashouse. After a short disclaimer and warmup we got to work.

For those that did the 2020 Iron Pax Challenge, this workout might bring up some fond memories. I modified it a little and we ended up getting in about 2 miles and 1100 reps. It went like this:

Run a lap around the parking lot then..

100 Merkins and 100 SSH

Run a lap

90 Squats and 90 LBC’s

Run a lap

80 Merkins and 80 SSH

Run a lap

70 Squats and 70 LBC’s

……continue in this fashion all the way to 10 Squats and 10 LBC’s

When finished, continue running laps until the Six is in.

We finished right on time.
