“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”

VQ: WhoDat

6PAX: Honey Bear, Ryder, Stardust, Iverson, Bloomer, WhoDat

The youngest member of Lake Effect (WhoDat 18) stepped up for his VQ! The Gloom brought a beautiful 12 degree morning with a fresh blanket of snow.

THE THANG:
DECK OF DEATH!!!
Done with a deck of playing cards where each suit is an exercise or two and each card number dictates the number of reps you do of that exercise, all the way up to an Ace being 14 reps.

The Deck

  • Jokers – 15 burpees
  • Kings – Sled relay race
  • Queens – Diamond Merkins
  • Jacks – 15 LBC in cadence
  • Hearts
    • Even #’s – Bottom half burpees
    • Odd #’s – Monkey humper jumps
  • Diamonds
    • Even #’s – Jump squats
    • Odd #’s – Merkins
  • Spades
    • Even #’s – Jumping lunges,
    • Odd #’s – Side crunch
  • Clubs
    • Even #’s – Mountain Climber in cadence
    • Odd #’s – SSH in cadence
Although we didn’t finish the deck due to time we ended the workout in West Michigan style with a sled replay race up and down the dreaded Pear Tree Hill A.K.A. the Merlot splasher.
2 PAX raced down the hill in sleds while remaining PAX AYG on planks or bench dips while waiting for other 2PAX to race back up Pear Tree Hill sleds in tow!
Great work WHodat glad to see you step up! your hands must have been FREEZING dealing those cards.
Quick announcement that Lake effect has open a second AO on Wednesdays at 0500 at McCamley Field 8135 S Westnedge Ave, Portage, MI 49002 in preparation for the end of April GrowRuck!

Welcome to Saturday, F3 Monterey!!

Date: 1/6/2018

Q: Priorities

Pax: Beach, Croc, Priorities, Sawdust, Sharkbait

Weekends have finally arrived in F3 Monterey!  The pax made a trek out to visit Toro Park, got to really explore the possibilities of a full hour at an AO and really relax with a cup of joe at coffeeteria!  Life is sweet when it’s 55 degrees!

Here’s how it went down…

SSHs IC x30

IWs IC x15

Hillbillies IC x10

Ring of Fire Merkins x10 – Croc was showboating so YHC called for another round.

Next was an indian run around the park.  YHC really should have known better than to give the pax the freedom to run where they wanted when in the front.  Big mistake from a veteran Q as more time was spent zig zagging trees and running straight through playgrounds than was intended.

The Q got the pax wrangled back in with some Whamo Bear Crawls. Pax sprint after a thrown frisbee until it hits the ground and then bear crawl to the frisbee.  First pax to reach it gets the honor of throwing it.  Repeat until no one is sprinting.

Next was more fun and games with a little blackjack.  Start on one side of the field. Perform 1 Merkin – run to other side – perform 20 LBCs. Run back and do 2 Merkins. Run back for 19 LBCs. Repeat until you do 20 Merkins and 1 LBC, running between the sidelines. Always adds up to 21 – BLACK JACK!  As an added bonus, the water filled kitty litter jugs we have used in the past as coupons have transformed into badass black painted, F3 logo adorned, adrenaline inducing, works of art coupons.  Still the same weight but now they look cool.  The pax took turns carrying these across the field.

Next was some Paint the Lines on the basketball court, just to show the pax just how much harder it is when we do this on the sand volleyball courts.  YHC thinks we all knew already…

The pax ended with a round of Ultimate Frisburpee!  Ultimate Frisbee with Burpees whenever the frisbee hit the ground.  Challenging and exhausting with only 5 pax but awesome none the less.

The workout ended with some words of wisdom centered around the F3 Credo: “Leave no man behind.  But leave no man where you find him.”  Who are YOU going bring along on your journey to get better in the coming year??

Numbers, Name, BOM

Announcemens:

  • The new Saturday AO will rotate locations while we explore some new places and try to find the best location for current and future pax.  Next week is at Carmel High School with Sharkbait on Q.
  • Next week is VQ week!  Rhymes has his first Q on Thursday!  Who is going to step up and lead Tuesday and Saturday?  All pax sign up here.
  • Our first HDHH (hump day happy hour) is scheduled for Monday 1/22 at 5pm.  (YHC realizes its not on a Wednesday…)  Its at Post No Bills in Sand City (not Seaside as Sharkbait pointed out.  YHC points out that Sharkbait can suck it, they’re the same city…)

Awesome first Saturday!!!  Can’t wait to see where this group of HIMs go in 2018!  SYITG!

Priorities out

This horrible cali coast weather

Q: Priorities

Pax: Beach, Rhymes, Priorities

3 pax braved the chilly 50 degrees and overcast skies to spend a little time on the beach Thursday morning.  Be sure not to look at any other weather reports around the country, comparison is the thief of joy…

TCLAPS to Beach for making it out despite the 10% chance of rain.  No, F3 does not cancel for rain… or snow… or freezing temps… or blizzards… or earthquakes… or tidal waves… or zombie apocalypses…  (best to check twitter just to make sure on those last couple…)

Warmup:

SSHs x20, IWs x15, DQs x15, Squats x15, Paint the lines x2 courts

The Thang:

Grab the two officially unofficial F3 Monterey water jugs and head towards the pier.  Pax split the mosey into 3 legs to swap the jugs and do burpees x5.

At the pier pax rotated through 3 stations: AMRAP Box jumps and Iron Mikes, AMRAP Dips and Derkins, and a jugs carry to the x in the sand and back.  3 rounds.

Mosey back to the flags with jugs. 3 legs again with a jug swap and burpees x5.

Mosey to the whale for COP.  Dealer’s choice abs: Flutter kicks, Situps, box cutters, and Rhymes off the top rope with some new and creative ideas we’re calling beached whales and Situp and reaches.  When is this guy bringing his creative ideas to a VQ??

Sprint back to the flags for numbers, names and BOM.

Thanks for this glorious place we live and keep our brothers on the (l)east coast in your TAPS during their actually chilly weather.

Announcements:

F3 Monterey is launching a Saturday AO this weekend!!  Location is going to rotate but starts this Saturday 1/6/18 in Toro Park Estates at Kelton Park.
