Leaving Early: The Unknown FNG

Leave a comment

11 strong đź’Ş 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.

Run Lap
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
Burpees

Run lap (or 2) – stop at wall for:

10 mike tysons

Line up on goal line – team up
1 pax lunges to 10 & back, other does 200 heal taps
1 pax lunges to 10 & back, other does 200 LBCs
We started on this last one but ran our of time:

Looking for Psyc – Round 2

Leave a comment

6 strong đź’Ş 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

    Welcome FNG “Big Johnson”

    Leave a comment

    An amazing day out. No gloom here. Mid fifties and sunny.


    We borrowed F3 Hampton Roads idea of a special log to commemorate a members 50th post. They call their’s Lady Glitter Sparkels. The premise is that if the post hits the ground during the beat down everyone does 5 burpees.

    Warm Up
    5 Tea Pots
    10 Finkle Swings (Leg swings)
    15 Cherry pickers
    20 SSHs
    25 LBCs
    20 IW
    15 heel raises
    10 Rowers
    5 Burpees

    Ceremony to introduce Lady Glitter Sparkles to the Pax and D.P.R. Pax immediately renamed her “Big Johnson.”

    1 tip: You are the Q (or the leader) of the post and it’s never truly “On your Own” with F3.

    The Thang:
    Run to top of hill – SSH until LGS arrives
    Run to corner – Al Gore until LGS arrives
    Run to curbs – Plank until LGS arrives
    At Curbs: 10 Hello Dollies / 10 Mike Tysons (Bench press LGS?) then 9,8,7….
    At Curb: 10 rowers (leg raises with LGS?) / 10 Arm Presses while wall sitting (Curls for the Girls with LGS?)
    At Curb: 10 LBCs (LBCs with LGS) / 10 Squats…. (partner up – squats with LGS – one holds each end?)
    Run to mid school – SSH while wait for LGS
    Run to hill by football field – do a few Bernie Sanders back up the hill.
    Run to field

    Goal line – partner up
    1 pax Kareokes to 30 does 10 shoulder taps (runs back) while other pax does 1000 dying cock roaches – first team calls it.

    Credit goes to D.P.R. who did not let BJ hit the ground once during the beatdown.

    Groiners

    7 strong đź’Ş this morning. Great weather. 50 degrees or so. Sun is coming up quick these days so most of the beatdown is done in daylight. Fishing boats were out well before us – lights blasting the bay as they gathered their take.

    Warmup
    1 Merkin
    10 IW
    2 Merkin
    Abe Vigodas
    3 Merkins
    Hill Billies
    4 Merkins
    Heel Raises
    5 Merkins
    Am. Hammers
    6 Merkins
    LBCs
    7 Merkins
    Cherry Pickers
    8 Merkins
    Moroccon Night Clubs
    9 Merkins
    SSH
    10 Merkins

    All that in 10 minutes. YHC yelled out that’s 155 pushups in 10 minutes to which Sharkbait corrected me that is was actually 110. As Dredd said in the hit documentary “300” produced by YHC and edited in part by Burgundy, Sharkbait is a merkin master so no pulling the wool over his eyes on the merkin count!

    Mosey to lot:

    • Bear Crawl, 20 groiners, bear crawl back, plank /Pick up Six
    • Crab Walk, 30 groiners, bear crawl back, plank /Pick up Six
    • Crawl Bear, 40 groiners, bear crawl back, plank /Pick up Six

    YHC didn’t have anything else planned except 6 minutes of mary but there was now 20 minutes left! What to do!?!?!?!

    Mosey to wall. 20 dips, 15 dips, 5 dips & 20 box jumps

    Mosey to beach – run back to home but along the way to 10 catcher burpees OYO

    6 MOM was actually 10.

    Count / Name / COT

    Something new planned for Saturday… hint it is a Hampton Roads tradition.

    Blurry

    Leave a comment

    I swung most of this one from the hip this morning so hopefully the below is accurate.

    Warm up:
    Grady Corn
    Moroccan Night Clubs
    Calf Raises
    Tea Pots
    SSH

    The Thang
    Line up on goal line. Crawl Bear to other goal line. Any pax that takes a knee and entire PAX does 5 burpees. First one to goal line calls it. No one wanted to do burpees and DPR crushed the Crawl Bears to call it.

    Mosey to north end of school.

    Jump over curbs x10, 10 LBCs (4 count) and reduce by 1 each time.

    Mosey to middle of school

    5 dips each row of amphitheater going down

    going back up – 5 mike tysons & 5 decline merkins

    Mosey back to north side of school

    10 hops over curb & 10 rowers, reduce by 1

    Mosey back to field, bear crawls again & 5 burpees for any knee for PAX. We did one set of burpees before DPR again crushed the crawl bears to call it.

    6 mins left. 1 min of LBCs, 1 min of cherry pickers, a little rest and 3 minutes of plank to wrap it up.
