7 strong 💪 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.

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.

Not so gloomy

Leave a comment

4 strong 💪 for the beat down today. Weather was perfect once we started moving. About 99.999% of the country seems to be below freezing and without any power right now. A bit of this beatdown came courtesy of Kobayashi’s back blast from his visit a few years back. Only two remaining members of the Pax are qualifying for the February ‘tide pod challenge’ to post at all the beatdowns in February and Q twice. 4 more posts left in the month. Can they make it?

Warm up
Grady Corn
Shoulder Taps
Heal Raises
Sun Gods
SSH
Cherry Pickers

The Thang
Mosey to parking lot.
10 LBCs and bear crawl to do 10 rowers. Walk back, repeat reducing 1 each time. First person to 1 calls it for the pax.

Mosey… we did a little parkour at the boat ramp and then stopped for some Squats & Al Gores (in cadence.)

Mosey some more to wharf sea wall for some hand stands against the wall and planks. Then some wall sits and more planks.

A few minutes left and we strolled down the beach.

On the tipping point

Leave a comment

Challenge went out to the PAX to go to every beatdown in Feb. We have 3 still on track for that. We are hoping to grow F3 Monterey and I think we are on the tipping point. I have to give a presentation to a group which could easily double or triple our turnout. Trying hard to give it away and this could be the thing that reaches a lot more people.

The Thang:

Cat’s in the Cradle – Jump ‘over curb’ , and then hold al gore for: “ And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon “When you coming home, dad?” “I don’t know when” But we’ll get together then You know we’ll have a good time then”

Run to 25/ 50/ 25 /100 & back… 5 Groiner, high plank, low plank plank jack back to high plank

Run to 25, do 50 mtn climbers, run to 50… 75… 100 and that’s a wrap.

This was one of the hardest beatdowns I have Q’d in a while.

Moon over Monterey

When the pax started to mosey we were all in awe when we saw the moon literally over Monterey. It was beautiful.

After a big storm passed overnight dropping its atmospheric river on us the gloom was actually quite amazing.
