5 strong 💪 today for what seemed more like a mid-morning workout than an early morning workout given how bright the sun was shining. Fishing boats were out in full force and we even got to see the off loading of of some of the catch near the end of the workout. YHC did not have much of a plan for the workout which is unusual but it turned out to be ok. So very grateful to be able to do what we did today.

Warm up:
Hillbillies IC
Grady Corn IC
Seal jacks IC (stop after the 2nd as YHC learned it is not a good idea to do seal jacks with a phone in your pocket.)

The thang:
Mosey… mosey to the parking lot. Do 10 jumps over a line and 10 lbc + leg extensions… then 9… 8… first one calls it.
Mosey thru some very old buildings… wall sit.
Mosey past another group doing IC workouts at the Customs House Plaza. Respect gentlemen!
Mosey some more to the wharf. 10 arm raises & 10 mike tysons… 9… 8… first one calls it.
Mosey some more to other wharf. Squats & Al Gores…. 10, 9, 8….
Mosey to sea wall. Wall sits and planks.
Mosey back to start.

COT:
Count-o-rama
Name-o-rama
We filmed some Happy Birthday wishes to our friend GRS….
YHC mentioned episode 581 or the Rich Roll podcast and his ask me anything response to leadership. It was spot on.

Q:Beach

Disclaimer given

7 Pax on a wet (but not raining) morning. Our guest (Ferrari) from F3PugetSound posted again this morning before leaving town.

Warmups: SSH x 40 IC; Mosey to softball field parking lot; Imperial Walkers x 20 IC; Hillbillies x 20 IC; Copperhead Squats x 15 IC; Bat Wings x 15 IC. Cleveland Rocks suddenly became hard of hearing when Q called for Bat Wings.

The Thang:

Merkin Mountain OYO with Incline Merkins & Dips on the bleachers. Bleachers have 15 rows of seats. Start at bottom. First seat=1 Incline Merkin/15 Dips. Second seat=2 Incline Merkins/14 Dips. Continue in this fashion until you reach the top. Start over at the bottom until the 6 finishes. Q called it after half of Pax finished. Completion of all rows = 120 each of Incline Merkins and Dips.

To the softball field. Railroad Tracks around the bases. Stopped at 2nd base for SSH x 30, then continued to 3rd and home plate.

Circle up for Xs & Os until Q calls it.

Round the bases again, stopping at each base for 25 Big Boy Situps + 25 Gas Pumps. Karaoke between bases. OYO. Ran out of time and Q called it half way through. Mosey back to flag.

Bandersnatch 3/31/2021

Leave a comment

Q: Beach

Disclaimer Given

Seven pax turned out, including guest Sunshine from out of town.

Warmup: Sidestraddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Copperhead Squats, Bat Wings. Some mumble chatter and facial anguish was observed during Bat Wings.

The Thang: Interactive workout inspired by the movie Bandersnatch. Pax determine what the workout will be. Mosey to the beach. Two lines drawn in the sand. Repeated sprints from one line to the other. Fastest pax to the other line determines the exercise and reps. Each time you are the fastest pax, you increase your sprint handicap by one burpee. Exercises chosen by pax were Bat Wings, Monkee Humpers, Copperhead Squats, Lunges, Chilcutt Peter Parkers, 1 minute Plank, Merkens, Bear Crawls, Nipplers, Burpees, Mike Tysons, Sidestraddle Hops, Don Quixotes, and Groiners. This may not be a complete list, as Q’s memory relies upon an aging brain. Mosey back to flag.

COT, Counterama, Namerama. Quote from Theodore Roosevelt was read. Announcements: DPR wins the month of March prize for posting to every workout in March (challenge and prize initiated and provided by Cleveland Rocks). The Murph Challenge is coming up, on Memorial Day.

Leaving Early: The Unknown FNG

Leave a comment

11 strong 💪 this morning including FNG Stone Cold. Weather was amazing. The field this time was not frozen solid or even damp like in prior winter beatdowns. Spring is here and we are going to love it.

This was a new one for us. And one we could have done better at addressing. We had an FNG today leave mid-workout. We were doing laps on the track and no one was near him and he just left. Next time this happens one of us will try to catch up with the FNG to chat with them.

Disclaimer given.

10 Tea Pot
20 Moroccan Night Clubs
30 Seal Jacks
40 on you side – leg things… 20 each side
50 LBCs 
Run Lap

Bear crawl to center field & Circle up

In Cadence – Q starts – count goes to the right.  Once you reach the end of your rope do a lap. Two ways to end it all:  One person is left doing exercise or if the 3rd to last person returns from their lap (IE there are two left) it’s over.  Call recover.  Pax coming back can mumble chatter, cheer on other pax, plank, al gore… etc.

Hello Dolly
Groiners
Gorilla Humpers
Wheel of Merkins

Looking for Psyc – Round 2

Leave a comment

6 strong 💪 this morning went for a run to the aquarium. Weather was beautiful – 40’s but was not cold at all. A lot of people out running on the trail and we joined them. Warm-up was quick, and Grappler came in hot at the end of the warmup to join us for the run. Pace to the aquarium was faster than the last time we did this. We got to the aquarium at 618am did some squats and took off back for the AO. It was great.

Warmup:
Sun Gods
Tea Pots
Cherry Pickers

The thang:
Run to aquarium
Stop a few times for some SSH
Stop to check out the inspiration for the F3 Monterey logo
At aquarium check out where the RV rammed the wall (it’s boarded up now.)
Squats IC with some Al Gores
Run back to beach
Wall sits and planks
Mosey back to AO start, LBCs to finish it up
