Tag: The Storm (Page 21 of 26)

9 PAX showed up to put in some work at #TheStorm early this morning.

I showed up at 5:21 and there was 1 lone mom mobile (Lime Green Ford Escape) belonging to Godfather awaiting the PAX in the parking lot.  Soon after 5:25 the rest of the PAX showed up.  During the chatter right before the workout started there was a flurry of shooting stars (…ok maybe 2).  JoBu started rattling astronomy terms and letting all of us know what was going on since he is a science nerd, but he needed to be cut off because IT WAS GO TIME!

This was my first time at a workout in 2 weeks at an F3 workout due to being sick.  It was much easier coming back when I knew I had the Q and I was motivated and pumped up to get back at it. I appreciate all of the guys who went at it today and got some work in at 5:30 this AM.

Again it was my pleasure to lead the PAX today!

18 PAX showed up to put in some work at #TheStorm early this morning.

Everyone jumped out of their cars and circled up and awaited 5:30am to get rolling.  BA quickly went through the legalities and the PAX said the Pledge Of Allegiance.  BA then explained that cheetahs don’t have to stretch when they go out and hunt/run so we won’t and took off for the weight room.  The PAX then learned that Deck Of Death was the activity of the day and things started.

WU: Nonexistent

-Pledge Of Allegiance-

Mosey to the weight room.

Circle up and find a spot in the weight room.

THE THANG:

Deck Of Death-

Deck of cards is put in the middle of the room and the PAX takes turns pulling a card and leading the exercise.  The number on the card equals the amount of reps 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, Jack=11, Queen=12, King=13, and Ace=14.  If my math is right and it usually isn’t that means every exercise is done 104 times per 1 deck.  We would stick with 104 reps, but some of the PAX did an audible and did their exercise in cadence, extra reps, and holding in position, which was appreciated by all to make things harder. (Thanks Dolph, Whoopie, and anyone else I forgot).

This morning we went 3 rounds with 18 PAX so we did A LOT.

• Hearts= Burpees
• Diamonds= Merkins
• Clubs= Weighted Squats
• Spades= CDD

There was no break through 2 rounds, but then we did a double count off.

At this time I believe Mayor actually let everyone know he would of rather been running, which never happens.

At some time during one of the last rounds BA called OMAHA and the PAX did 30 LBC’s in cadence and 40 Moroccan Night Clubs in cadence, and 10 JoBu’s (aka Monkey Humpers) in cadence. Then we continued with another round of Deck Of Death….

COT:

We were already over time so we skipped count off and just did the following:

Announcements: Upcoming Q’s and 2nd F opportunity at Hickory Tavern this Wednesday at 6pm

Prayers: Safe travels to everyone this holiday

Today was definitely a day where the workout looked better on paper.  I did enjoy the PAX pushing each other and watching the puddle of sweat and spit collect under me during this workout.  Needless to say I am hurting a bit as I type this and I love it.

Again it was my pleasure to lead the PAX today!

13 PAX showed up to put in some work at #TheStorm early this morning.  The PAX thought we had 2 FNG’s, but soon realized that was not so.  JoBu returned after going missing (training/running a marathon) and Godfather was sporting a new buzz cut that made him look eerily like Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket.  After everyone figured the above out it was time to begin.

11 PAX showed up for one of BA’s non running workouts. The PAX were surprised when it was announced there would be no cinder blocks used in today’s workout.  The PAX were also pleased to learn some of the workout would be done in the weight room with the garage door 1/2 way up due to BA not enjoying the chilly morning.

It is always great to Q at the greatest AO in F3 nation. 16 Men (including 1 FNG) enjoyed the cool air and the feel of concrete in their hands this morning.   As advertised there wasn’t much running (1.5 miles), but there was an upper body beatdown. It was good to see the PAX encouraging and pushing each other throughout the workout.  My goal was to have the PAX have trouble lifting their coffee cups later in the day.

• Standing Chest Press x 300/Run to the press box and x5 Merkins
• Curls x 200/Run to the press box  and x 5 CDD’s

• Upright Row x 100/Run around the press box

Planking with right arm/right leg/left arm/left leg until PAX was done

In between each set we counted up and back…. at some points the counting got interesting and we thought we may have lost a guy, but all was good as we just realized our math is bad.

Mosey to BA’s truck to deposit the cinder blocks.

BB #TheStorm 9/29/15- Wet T Shirt Contest

As I was driving to #TheStorm for the F3 workout this morning I was wondering how many of the PAX would fart-sack due to the rainy conditions.  I was expecting 4 or 5 of the regulars to show and that is about it.  I had 2 workouts planned based on the weather (inside/outside), but as I pulled into the parking lot at SCHS I saw 14 men (including myself) ready to go.  Seeing this dedication I decided no matter how bad the weather got we were staying outside in the rain/gloom.

Note: We put in 2.5 miles in during this workout….. that may be a record for BA during one of his Q’s.

WU:

All in cadence

Planking with right arm/right leg/left arm/left leg until PAX was done

During one of these planking sessions Godfather and BA both decided to channel their inner Ric Flair and have a Woo off while planking.  Nothing like hearing WOOOOOO’s go back and forth.
